Add Fergie to the list of idiots disrespecting the national anthem (Houston, city)

[Moth]

She tried to distinguish herself and it did not work out. No disrespect intended and she has apologized.

Next time stick to what works.

Whitney Houston sings the National Anthem






Also, let me just point out that she is appropriately dressed for the occasion.
She didn't sing it for herself to get attention. She sung it for the people. And it shows.
A notion that modern narcissistic performers just cannot seem to grasp.

The best version I have ever heard. It can still raise the hairs on the back of my neck When I hear it. Whitney was a truly gifted singer.

I hate to break this to you, but white people have been doing that since long before "virtue signaling" was am alleged thing.

As for the performance, I didn't care for it, but it didn't seem disrespectful, just an ill-considered attempt to personalize the music.

My thought exactly, but you're not the one who should be smacking himself in the head.

Perhaps she’s back to shooting up heroin again

No I was comparing the simple British and Canadian anthems to our complex anthem. "My 'Tis of The" is really a relyriced "God Save the Queen". https://youtu.be/_ZjZvwuUV6s

Although, I would much rather see the "Hey Mama" video, mini skirt Fergie !

That is my take on it also. She was trying to do what Marvin Gaye did in the NBA finals 30 something years ago.

In her comeback attempt after being the eye candy for the Black Eye Peas rap group I never knew that she was supposed to have been a great singer. But she needs to work and probably can't get it as an older dancer/model anymore
