The US National Anthem (Star Spangled Banner) is quite possibly the HARDEST (English) song to sing. The words are tricky and the singer's pitch and tone can make or break the song. And, many often sing it with blaring music accompanying their voice, so the singer has to have a strong voice to pull it off. In short, if you cannot sing, it will become glaringly evident if you attempt this song. If you ruin it, people will hate you forever! (just kidding...sort of)
Earlier today, Beyoncé performed the National Anthem at the 2013 Inauguration of President Barack Obama and she did a great job. I am not a Beyoncé stan (although I respect her grind and do enjoy some of her music), but I give props where they are due. She has a beautiful and flexible voice.
Where do you rank this rendition among the greats??
