Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 rendition of the national anthem i have heard at one of these things thus far......geez us .. with all the singing talent in the world you would think that for a big event like this they would choose someone who doesnt give a run of the mill performance..........

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 man, this i a rough crowd in here. down on the nat'l anthem it just seems to me that when other cities host this event theres all kinds of glam and glitz.....this has been one heck of a boring experience .. hell the one in 83 had more excitement to it........i dont know about anyone else but i enjoy the hoopla that comes with events like this......either fox sucks at broadcasting, or jr is hosting one of the most bland all star games in history........

Spiff Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 too much glam and glitz and people start complaining about making a mockery of the anthem. just can't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 FOX also leaned hard on wanting Clemens in the ASG. That's one of the reasons Zito got taken off the team because FOX wanted Clemens. [aside from Zito pitching before too] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 National Anthem was so fake it was horrible. Next time try and hide the fact that you pre-recorded it. Vanessa Carlton is quite hot, but there are other singers who could do it much better while not dressing slutty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 It was lame. The only entertaining thing was watching her pull up on her top to keep her boobs from popping out. Â I still think that the best rendition of anything at a ballpark was the first home game after Sept 11, when Pat Arnold sang God Bless America during the 7th inning. It was the most heartfelt inspiring version of any patriotic song I have ever heard. There are a lot of people that should watch that tape and take notes.

mreye Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I only got to listen on the radio and it sounded great. Â The best National Anthem ever was Huey Lewis and The News in Phoenix against the Bulls in the finals. He was hitting everything, while standing with his hands in his pockets.

SweetJfour Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I have to say that the National Anthem was pretty bad. Did you hear Ms. Carlton destroy the lyrics. I distinctly heard her say " and the ramparts we light are so galantly streaming" You'd think one qualification for singing the national anthem would be to know the words, but maybe thats just me. She would have been better off just playing it on the piano and keeping her mouth shut!! My personal favorite rendition of the national anthem is when Zakk Wylde (a guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne) played it on an electric guitar at a Mets game. You can't possibly screw that up!!! It was awesome! Â Other than that I thought the all-star game was done very well. I hate to see them turn the midsummer classic into a circus, so I was very pleased with the conservative approach. It reminded me of the good old days when baseball was at it's best. Though Fox did it's best to destroy that, but failed miserably. I do still think Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are a great two-man booth. After that, the rest of them suck!!! :fthecubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 They had a close up of her during the entire thing and I didn't see/hear her once mess up the words. She was obviously having trouble with her ear piece. But I don't think she messed up the words at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I thought she did a fine job, but really i don't care too much about who sings the anthem  If you want a laugh, turn on Boers and Bernsy at 1:58ish and listen to their closing....they play this clip from a Hawks game where he totally makes up jibberish words towards the end of the anthem, it's really pretty ridiculous.

Bighurt52235 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 As badn as the National Anthem was, I think God Bless America was way worse. You couldn't even hear her. It looked and sounded like she was afraid to raise her voice. No emotion. Very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
