Just heard the possibly worst

[Icebear]

version of the National Anthem by a professional singer at Yankee Stadium. Putrid and embarrassing.

Serves you right for watching a Yankees game... unless, of course, you want them to lose.

I cannot help who MLB assigns the Red Sox to play on Opening Day.

Choices, choices, ice. We all make choices we have to live with.

 

[Blueballer]

Hey they found someone who's LOUD even if they can't actually sing.

GO SOX

GO UCONN

 

[cohenzone]

Maybe the singer should be pitching for.NY.

 

[pinotbear]

It was truly hideous, and, too long to boot.

 

[ThisJustIn]

Go Sox!

It's gotten so that if it isn't one of the Academies playing at home, I'll just skip that part, and keep my blood pressure at a manageable level...

 

[ChicagoGG]

Ice, today's version of "Gold Bless America" was a little shattering also.....thought the performers had to pass an audition....guess not.

 

[Icebear]

The National Anthem is not a performance. It is the people's song.

 

[ChicagoGG]

Apologies, I was merely hoping that the person who is singing at the microphone and hopefully leading the attendees in singing the national anthem, or in the 7th, God Bless America, would do it properly and with respect. In our area, the local AA team has singers try out to sing these songs, in order to insure same.

What is wrong with the Yankees?

Was it worse than Roseanne Barr?

 

[Icebear]

In terms of performance by a professional, yes. Overall, no. Roseanne was a travesty and mockery.

I missed the game, but Constantine Maroulis, Tony nominee and star of the Jekyll & Hyde Broadway musical was scheduled to sing the national anthem. During the seventh-inning stretch, Alli Mauzey of the Broadway hit Wicked was scheduled to perform "God Bless America."

 

[Icebear]

That is who sang the anthem barely recognizable as it was. He was horrid.

Just painful.

 

[willtalk]

I believe he was a past contestant on American Idol. Well that's what you get when you have "Drama Queens" (no he is not gay) singing the National Anthem. Each one tries to out do the other. They would be better off sticking to Instrumentals or Choirs.

A root canal without medication isn't worse than Roseanne Barr.

 

[meganmatthews]

God awful. Put headphones on Taliban prisoners and play that for an hour. You will get all the information you need from them.

 

[meyers7]

Different take on it, but not bad. I've heard much, much worse.

 

[bpear1600]

Missed the NA but GBA was agonizing. So tired of performers yodeling our beloved songs.

Our poor fuh-lag...
