American idol 'rocker' dude at the NFS said 'galliently' streaming, and Yolanda somebody during the AFC anthem said 'proof to the night.'

she also had a false start

and might've sang "who brought stripes" but I could be mistaken

American Idol dude also had a really, really bad "soulful" melody on the last, held note. They did a close-up of his face directly following it, and he looked like he wished he would have practiced a little harder the night before.

hahaha, oh jeeze

extra hilarious because I live in NC and work with one of the five people in the world who bought his album. PROTIP: it's not very good!

Maybe it was the frigid weather=watery eyes thing right? Right? C'mon Chris, you're stronger than that!!!

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 22 January 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

yolanda adams sounded really good, aside from the false start! and apparently messed up lyrics.

Oh, say can you see by the don's every light
What soap loudly inhaled at that wild light's last gleaming?
Who brought stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
Or the ramparts we watched were so galliently streaming?
And the rock it's red glare, the bombs burst in the air,
Gave proof to the night that a flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Or the land of the free and the home of the bra~~~~ave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Yolanda's version was among the best I've heard, despite her flubs. I was really quite impressed, and happy that they gave her the spot instead of Fergie or some such person.

Finally, it's on YouTube.

My theory is that he messed up so badly on the last word that he broke down into tears. er, tear.

― Zachary S (Zach S), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 00:46 (eighteen years ago)

does he take a drag right before he starts singing, or am I just imagining it

― Bernard Snowy (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 01:11 (eighteen years ago)

Between this and the Rush Limbaugh idiocy, I'm starting to really wish I gave a shit about football.

― Myonga Von Bandy (M. Agony Von Bontee), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

It took my wife's obsession with football to finally get me to genuinely enjoy it rather than use it as an excuse to get drunk and sit around. So a little 'traditional gender roles reversed' thing for ya. I hear the kids these days just love that shit. And trees. They love saving the trees.
