Wow. You sound fantastic!!! We need to get real Americans like you to sing our anthem at sporting events and save us from these idiotic pop stars that keep butchering it. Seriously, you sang it beautifully. You have a very powerful voice and I appreciate that you did not mess with traditional style of the song.
