Perhaps any other 'star" should be required to listen and study this, before they ATTEMPT to sing the National Anthem. Donna, you are a national treasure !
Jennifer, Patti, Aretha & Mariah should take note of this version. This song sounds better when the singer adheres to the original arrangement of the song. You can add a little, but she followed the music and sang it with good tonality/intensity in the original interpretation & that shows control & versatility vs. how loud/over-modulated you can be. You can be soulful yet follow the music and interpret it nicely that what’s made Diana, Dionne, & early Whitney Good. DONNA GOT IT RIGHT! CLASSIC!
@metaclip t's from the 1999 All-Star Game featuring the late great Ted Williams. (Although the video footage was from the 2004 Boston WS as I recorded over the 1999 live video version. The original can be found at BRINGONTHERIPPLE YouTube Channel at the moment.)
@richardsbrandonuca you're correct about that. She has a church background when it comes to singing. Disco clouded the seriousness of her voice, but it also made her rich and famous.
Wonderful rendition! Such a powerful voice and not overly stylized with unnecessary riffs and runs. I wish more singers would stay true to the lyric and remember it's not always about them when singing this song. Good job!
Acapella bitches!

Love Donna Summer. She can pretty much sing anything given to her. Love that she's not a one genre artist like so many artists are.

Donna Summer has one of best voices amongst any popular singers of the 20th century. She is underestimated by some cause of her disco background.
