let's not read into it things like: she's "un-american", she was disrespectful to our troops, she should learn the words because she clearly doesn't know them, etc.

she knows the words...of course she's embarassed...it was an honest mistake obvious to the nearly 100 million people watching.... let her be....

instead, she should REALLY be criticized for they way she looked.... yikes! age has not been kind to her...

She should be. She was wandering around looking for pitches. She actually changed key twice. YUK! My middle school students sing it better than she did. IMO performers that try and make singing the Star Spangled Banner more about them than about those who have sacrificed for our country ARE being disrespectful.

I disagree.

1. It's not disrespectful. It may not offer sufficient respect, but that's different and even then up for debate.

2. If the networks wanted the standard versions, they'd simply go out and hire a local middle school chorus to sing it.
