For anyone who has tried to sing the National Anthem, it is not an easy song to sing.
However, if one is selecting someone to sing the NA, it behooves one to have them audition to see if they are capable of singing it correctly.
One should not choose a singer to sing the NA based on anything other than the ability to sing a rather difficult song.
This and the Rosanne Barr fiasco (and many others) are an embarrassment not only for the singer but for the audience.
