   Let other’s hold their personal opinion of like or dislike, but I personally don’t like it. I think people should sing it the way it was written (or close enough to it that it actually is recognizable). In this video, focus was taken completely away from our country and focused on Marvin Gaye himself (hince the rah rah cheering and soul clapping going on with the song). The National Anthem should be held in reverence for our country and those who serve it (not those who take from it). I love my country, but I hate it to see people try to steal the limelight of our country. Let others say what they say and exercise our nation’s abused freedom of speech but this is ultimately my strong opinion on the National Anthem.

   understandable. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it – he just sang it slower and to a beat. He didn’t change anything more than a country or rock star does during pre-game of every major sporting event in the country. Thats one thing that’s great about this country though… Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion.
