“The Star-Spangled Banner” is a notoriously difficult song to sing, and no performance of it is scrutinized more intensely than the unlucky soul who pulls Super Bowl duty. In that regard, Kelly Clarkson did a fantastic job on Sunday: she was pitch-perfect throughout without over-singing it, two things we don’t necessarily get from, say, Christina Aguilera.
Everyone Did A Great Job Singing The National Anthem, And No One Should Be Laughed At
But we must scrutinize anyway, because we are animals and can be no other way. Fish must swim; birds will fly; haters gotta hate. Should a thicker woman like Kelly Clarkson have bangs? No, they’re not flattering. Was that children’s choir as cute as P.S. 22’s? It was not. It did, however, launch a new star. Watch and find her:
Did you see her? Tell me you saw her.
ENHANCE:
She’s my new favorite person in the world. Do not make fun of her, or I will fight you.
