National Anthem

Jordin Sparks, former American Idol winner, sang the Star Spanagled Banner at tonight All-Star game and while it was obvious she is a talented singer, it was equally obvious that showcasing her voice rather than the meaning of the anthem was uppermost on her agenda. I think before someone is allowed to sing that song they should be required to understand under what circumstances it was written and what they should be trying to convey when that song it sung.

I believe it is disrepectful to sing it as she did and so many "big name" singers do.
