As Miss Brat mentioned, it would be like someone singing "Amazing Grace" to the tune of the national anthem when asked to perform "The Star Spangled Banner"before an important public gathering. I would be just as insulted!

Well, she got her 15 minutes of fame! What a cockroach!
She did not use wisdom, that is for sure...

I can remember as a teen, the only Black station was a low powered one. At 6 pm it went off the air with a choir singing "Lift every voice and sing..."

I thought it was so beautiful...

The tragedy about this recent event is not just her total disrespect, but that it now may cause some look with disdain at truly beautiful and moving song.
