It sucked. The National Anthem should NEVER have creative flourish to it. Too many have given their last full measure of devotion to have one of the greatest symbols of our country modified in any manner. Wow, dramatic much? The anthem is a shitty song and it takes talent for it to sound ok. She did a great job and is very talented. God bless America should be the anthem. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
First half was perfect then she started trying too hard. Our National Anthem isn't a singing audition. It should be about a respectful yet powerful rendition on our Nation's history. I was expecting it to be much more over the top. I was pleasantly suprised. Ideally I'd agree with you. But in this day and age, I'll take what I can get. |

According to my girlfriend, who is an expert on such matters (really), gaga used some bits from a performance by Whitney Houston. I'm guessing this was intentional as a tribute to Houston. Quote HistoryQuoted:

This includes the freedom to sing the National Anthem in any way she deems appropriate. And she should have enough respect to not alter it.

You realize that ALL these versions are a creative take on the original arrangement?  https://youtu.be/Z-JYWKpVB-I
Guess we found the only "acceptable" way of singing the anthem, because any other way would be altered and lacking respect. |

I thought she did a very nice job. Only a modest about of creative flourish, nice voice. And yes, she looked very nice, too. I think the flourishes were in part to pace it out for the flyover. It takes hella skill to put your soul in a song and come out at the right second! |

Thought it was one of the better renditions.
I can't stand lady Gaga normally, but this time she not only looked semi-normal but she sang beautifully. It's a shame she uses so much crap in her songs that cover up that voice. |

Gaga is known for looking and doing things to push the envelope, but chose a respectful costume, sang in a classical voice, and added minimal flourish.
I think she did great, especially in an age where singers try to go apeshit with it. Now, if she REALLY wanted to make her mark... sing it and verify it as live and not pre-recorded. Do it well, and you can knock Whitney Houston off her pedestal... as she was lip synching. |
