stevestojan Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I heard James Taylor sing the National Anthem before game 2 and thought it was great. Not all dressed up like these "performers" all do nowadays. Simple, and to the point. However, I have heard NOTHING but bad about it on TV, the radio, and the net. I went to go search to see if i could download it somewhere, and all i got was people ripping it apart. So, a question, what did you guys think about it, and also, anyone know where I can get an MP3 of it? I think it would be a fully legal download, correct? Anyway, thoughts?

EZC-Boston Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I thought it was terrible too slow, but better than the Partridge family... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it a lot, even more the second and third times. Then again I like the way Jose Feliciano did it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalOhio Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 There's nothing wrong with that rendition at all. He got all the words right, which is more than I can say for Steven Tyler the night before. He didn't disgrace our national anthem like Roseanne did, either. People will B word about anything. Gimme a break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thoughts? 87557[/snapback] Why were people ripping it? He did it in that slow-JT sytle that he does almost everything. I thought it was great. I can see if you are not a fan, that's fine, but I don't get where people would be ripping him for his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was beautiful, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutting Drew With Dignity Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Nothing like a shot of h prior to take the 'edge' off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I liked it alot. Very classy, like it should be sung. I'm sorry, but i'm not interested in hearing a fuggin hip hop/rap version of the star spangled banner like we see most of the time. James Taylor was a breath of fresh air compared to most.
