The lions football game?
I'm sorry, it was awful. I couldn't understand one word she was singing.
Bleah!!!

Worse than the year they had Martha Reeves do it. It was awful and far, far too long.

I went down on one knee just to pray she would hurry up and get through it.

Oh. My. God! I didn't see it, but just watched a video of it... unbelievable! What a painful, painful rendition! I also couldn't help but notice, the woman is missing a tooth! A big ol' gap in her celebrity mouth! Surely she's financially able to have that fixed? Anyway, really awful performance.

For me, the National Anthem is just not a song you grandstand on. Sing it "normally" and be on your way. Save the fancy stuff for another song, in another time and place.

what an interesting thread
The musical arrangement was a bit long, but Aretha can still sing very well. From the comments here, I was expecting some kind of Roseanne Barr performance. I don't think it was anywhere near that bad.

I had to hit the mute button. She added to much to make it her own. I heard the game started late because it was so long.  |

I think we ate our complete Tday dinner, before the game started, waiting for it to end. cripes. There's a ton of MN meme's all over FB about it.

I love Aretha Franklin's voice but it was an awful rendition.

She could have sold the fur coat she was wearing. In an indoor stadium. |

I get that, I do, but really, a celebrity of her stature and, quite frankly, ego, just does not appear like that in public. Her publicist, her managers, somebody on her staff or in her circle of friends and/or notable co-celebrities should have found a way to help her maintain her public persona rather than have her look bad. She's an icon, for God's sake! |

I couldn't watch the whole performance, it was too awful. Her diction was horrible. She couldn't seem to decide where in her range to sing, either. There's a point at which she jumps up and down an octave multiple times. I don't care that you are Aretha Frickin' Franklin; when you sing the National Anthem IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU! Just sing it well and get out of there.

On the other hand, the fire fighters who sang for the Colts game, sang the song beautifully!!!
