The young woman who sang just before her had a beautiful voice.......don't know who she was, as I missed the introduction, and don't recognize singers (for example I wouldn't have recognized Christine Aguilera, either), but that other young woman didn't "fancy" up her song, just sang beautifully.

Why do singers ALWAYS think they have to "gussy up" the national anthem. Sometimes you can hardly recognize the tune, even, they add so much of their "own" stuff......

o.k., the ole curmudgeon is slinking back into her cave, hahahaha
