Here ya go........

Very WELL Done......None of these little girls tried to stretch out the words, or over sing the song itself.

Straight....Simple.... to the Point......and with Beautiful Little Voices at that too.

BTW.....This was sung at my Alma Maters (If I had actually Graduated from Tech ) Sports Arena. United Spirit Arena in Lubbock Texas at Texas Tech University. My Older sister was there and had mentioned these little girls some time back. Don't know why I didn't think of them earlier.........

ok , there are no dry eyes in EOL now.

I still prefer this version by Marlana Vanhoose: 16-year-old Marlana VanHoose sings the National Anthem prior to the UK Hoops win over Mississippi Feb. 2. | vaughtsviews

Excellent! She puts so much emotion into it, which is the way it was written, and it takes a lot of guts to sing it alone. I just wish people would let her finish before they drown out the end with applause & noise, sigh.

Yep thats it,
A strange thing I read a few weeks ago our national anthem was originaly an old English drinking song. Diferent wording but, If you could sing it right you wernt too hammered to continue drinking or somthing like that. I dont recomend trying that with the cops as a soberiety test. Maby thats why its tough to sing right and sound good doing it. Anyway, just somthing to wrap your brain arround when youre driving at o-dark thirty.

Link to the original music, to which Francis Scott Key's poem "Defense of Fort McHenry" was set, as he intended.

Not exactly a drinking song, "The Anancreontic Song" was written by John Stafford Smith, a member of a London 'Gentleman's Club' [actually amateur musicians] celebrated wine, women and entertainment, and was widely used for patriotic makeovers, such as Keys'.
I couldn't listen to the whole thing, lol - even the OP's version was better, but it's interesting stuff to know.

Ehhhh.......about a 4-5 out of 10.

That's still 4-5 points higher than the girl in my original post......
