>>remember the police officer, or maybe it was a firefighter, who sang the national anthem before the trinidad-hopkins fight at madison square garden, right after the world trade center attack? he was like an opera singer?

that man knew what singing the star-spangled banner was all about! he knew it is perfect as written, and will elicit goose bump-type reactions from everyone when performed with respect, dignity, soul and meaning.<<

Yes I do remember that guy! I was so impressed with him. You are exactly right. I don't want to hear someone "intrepret" the SSB, I want to hear it the way it was written. But I guess it's hard for all those Divas out there to take a back seat to the words and the music.

>>but DON'T sing it like it's a rhythm and blues tune, or a jazz tune, or rap or hip hop or a cappella.<<

I'm trying to figure out where Roseanne's rendition fits in ...

Thank you, thank- you- very- much...
