Example, please? [sm_devil] Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: tdcoly on October 25, 2007, 05:51:21 PM His rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" a few minutes ago. Probably the best I've heard.

I liked it myself, and I hate the "Star Spangled Banner."Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: MFAWG on October 25, 2007, 06:05:32 PM Missed it. I've heard him do it before, and he does a very nice, understated version.
Whitney Houston ruined it IMHO, just because every no-talent beauty queen wannabe from St. Petersburg to Seattle feels compelled to 'show off' her own overblown version, generally at some short track I'm at that evening. 'Now, for the singing of the national anthem, Miss Misty Breyerson, 3d runner up the Li'l Miss Tulip Bulb Festival' 'OooooOOoooOOOooHHHHHHH SaaAaaAaaAAaaAyyyy Caaaaaaannnnn Ewwwwwwwwwe See.....

Just wondering how that would sound in the style of contemporary adult folk ???

Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: gleek on October 25, 2007, 10:10:08 PM This is my absolute favorite rendition. It was lip-synched, but who gives a rat's ass?

However the best anthem I've heard was from a Chief Petty Officer at a Stl. Cardinals game this summer - that dude freaking rocked. Just wish there was a utube version available. I have witnesses too - the dude just nailed it - bar none, the best I've ever heard!!! Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: Aske on October 25, 2007, 10:40:33 PM remember this abomination ?

This one was the worst evar! Sj4-EcfJxPo Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: MFAWG on October 26, 2007, 07:56:32 AM This is my absolute favorite rendition. It was lip-synched, but who gives a rat's ass? rsFi0RRLeaQ I've watched this 3 times now, and I'm still waiting for her to fall out of that top. Quote Ya know - you can bash Whitney all ya want, but I LOVED that anthem she belted out! And kiss my ass if you want to give me chit about it! My problem isn't with Whitney's version itself, it's with the no talent hacks who try to emulate it.

The Carl Lewis butchering job always makes me laugh: http://users.rcn.com/pkatcher/audio/carllewis.mp3 And Mo Cheeks' effort kicks ass! q4880PJnO2E Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: gleek on October 26, 2007, 03:58:53 PM Too bad Mo wasn't around to rescue this girl.
6MlVG8Fki5U Oh crap! I just realized that one of the commentators in this video clip is one of the "news hotties" in the thread "over there". Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: Uisce Beatha on October 26, 2007, 07:27:24 PM It really is a wretched song.
:fear: Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: spacey on October 26, 2007, 10:12:07 PM It really is a wretched song. I love America as much as the next 'merka hatin' lib, but I couldn't possibly agree more. Title: Re: James Taylor rocks Post by: gleek on October 27, 2007, 10:20:36 AM It really is a wretched song. I love America as much as the next 'merka hatin' lib, but I couldn't possibly agree more. The lyrics look like one long-ass run-on sentence ending with a question mark, and the music is based on a drinking song written by a *goshdarn* Brit. Other than that, I see nothing wrong with it. |
