I know Roseanne is the clear winner, but what Steven Tyler just did at the AFC Championship is right up there...

If you want the Star Spangled Banner performed correctly get a country music artist to do it.

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Tyler was pretty bad. Getting tired of the product placement crap in sporting events. He wouldn't have even been considered if it wasn't for American Idol. I still don't understand why he would be there considering the game is being broadcast by CBS.

Here is my fav.

Say what you will about us eurowussies, but we've eliminated that problem long ago: Just let the crowd do the singing:


The Star Spangled Banner is a beautiful anthem and deserves better than some ham performer butchering it with his/her "special touch".

There's no way you can avoid the 'special touch'- contrary to what people think, there's no 'correct' version. It was a poem put to music.

Even if you have the sheet music, that doesn't indicate how it's supposed to be performed or what it would sound like if sung. I don't like country, R&B, or Top 40 versions, but that doesn't mean that they're wrong musically.

Tyler is Boston's bad boy, and was in full swing when I lived near there in the mid/late 70's.. They have a special place in their hearts for him end his drug addled screeching.......(I say that with love. I had the huge Aerosmith poster too!)
