10 Worst National Anthem Performances Ever
by Billboard Staff | July 03, 2012 11:15 EDT
It must seem like a good idea. How else to explain why so many artists will
try anything -- whether it's fiddling with the arrangement or striving for
the glory notes that only divas can hit -- to put their own stamp on the
national anthem? Getting booked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a major
event is an honor for any artist, so why not try and make it memorable, like
Whitney Houston's epic take in 1991 or Marvin Gaye's eminently soulful '83
version?
Alas, not everyone -- in fact, almost no one -- reaches that level of
greatness. With that in mind, Billboard brings you the 10 worst national
anthem performances ever, after which you're welcome to purge your ears by
listening to the five all-time best.
10. Keri Hilson, 2010
http://youtu.be/m6A9Fuv72CE
Keri Hilson has the vocal chops to make "The Star-Spangled Banner" soar, but
unfortunately, the R&B star's performance at an NBA Lakers vs. Hawks game in
2010 did just the opposite. Why? Hilson committed the sin of all sins:
forgetting the lyrics. Let the grumbling commence!
9. Josh Groban and Flea, 2010
http://youtu.be/cynKT3gf6SI
Back in January 2010, we asked whether this unlikely coupling at the BCS
championship game was the "weirdest national anthem ever," and with good
reason. Josh Groban and Flea may be friends in real life, but their musical
inclinations -- he's a popera star who cameos on "Glee," he's a funk-punk
bassist who plays with Thom Yorke -- don't exactly scream "hot collabo."
8. Christina Aguilera, 2011 http://youtu.be/b94aBPC5T-E
No one is saying that Christina Aguilera, with her powerhouse glory notes,
couldn't totally kill "The Star-Spangled Banner." But did she last year at
the Super Bowl? Nope. Aguilera changed the words in the song's fourth line,
merging the lyrics with the song's second line. And that final note? Yesh.

7. R. Kelly, 2005
http://youtu.be/PkI7F5u1BGY
Notoriously excellent at turning ordinary performances into logic-defying
moments, R. Kelly must have been trying to channel the great Marvin Gaye when
he decided to go with a soul arrangement of the national anthem for a boxing
bout. The results got people talking, but for all the wrong reasons, from the
unnecessary use of handclaps to the even more unnecessary use of Chicago step
dancers.
6. Steven Tyler, 2001 AND 2012
http://youtu.be/psi2930wuVo
http://youtu.be/ZRXF4hIkl9E
The Aerosmith frontman's one-of-a-kind voice is perfectly suited to howling
choruses like "Love in an elevatuhhh," "What did her daddy doooo," or, "Dream
until you're dreams come truuue." "O'er the land of the freeeee," however?
Not so much. And he just won't stop singing it, most recently botching the
words at the 2012 AFC Championship Game
5. Aaron Neville, Aretha Franklin and Dr. John, 2006
It had all the makings of a potentially great national anthem performance.
Super Bowl XL was the first since Hurricane Katrina, and two New Orleans
heroes -- Aaron Neville and Dr. John -- were there to proudly represent their
hometown, along with Detroit soul queen Aretha Franklin. Also, a gospel
choir! But sadly, these elements added up to something that just didn't leave
us feeling good. Perplexed, maybe, and surely uncomfortable. But definitely
not good.

3. Michael Bolton, 2003
http://youtu.be/MZrK_kOk8Lw
Before there was Sarah Palin reading notes from her hand, there was Michael
Bolton. At a Red Sox vs. Yankees baseball game in 2003, the crooner invited
the wrath of fans when he dared to peek at the lyrics scrawled on his palm.
Between that and the bizarre echo following his every line, Bolton's
performance was an epic fail.
2. Roseanne Barr, 1990
http://youtu.be/JDMvfAq7QPw
Even the most thick-skinned Americans had their feathers ruffled by Roseanne
Barr's national anthem performance at a 1990 San Diego Padres game. She
wanted to be obnoxious, in a number of ways -- by shouting the lyrics totally
off-key, grabbing her crotch, and spitting on the pitcher's mound -- and it
worked. The best part of this particular video, though, is that it serves to
remind us that Madonna not only felt honored by Barr's performance but spoke
with an entirely different accent 20 years ago.
1. Kat DeLuna, 2008
http://youtu.be/q98BuAX2T0U
Oh, Kat DeLuna. Once a pop newcomer with a bright future, the Dominican
singer never quite recovered from this national anthem performance at a 2008
Dallas Cowboys game. Any way you look at it, it's a spectacular failure. She
tries too hard to hit the notes that only a rarefied circle of divas can,
then takes us on a painfully bumpy roller coaster ride of vocal runs. She
half-forgets the lyrics. She completely botches the last note. And she does
it all with the swagger of something who believes she's positively killing
it. When a chorus of boos erupts at the end, it's far too little, too late.
Now that you've suffered through the worst of the worst, listen to how "The
Star Spangled Banner" should be performed.
1. Whitney Houston, 1991
http://youtu.be/YHmdu_I_0zI
2. Jimi Hendrix, 1969
http://youtu.be/LMhq1L0cJf0
3. Carrie Underwood, 2006
http://youtu.be/LSiRUSjSJnQ
4. Marvin Gaye, 1983
http://youtu.be/QRvVzaQ6i8A
5. Beyoncé, 2006
http://youtu.be/7GzlGMxJO7U
木下的國歌好好聽。XD
然後史蒂芬泰勒竟然可以重榜。XDD
