I think You tube needs to disable comments on thier video to keep garbage comments out.
Sad that some people have to resort to vulgar language to comment on a video on you tube.

That being said, I ain't American so I could care less how you guys sing it.

I am old fashioned though, I personally dislike changingin the wording (repeating) or style
of national Anthems.

Mickey still is a great singer!

I don't think it was controversial...rather than people think she "butchered" it. Granted...the finale was less to be desired, but that does not take away from the person she is OR the song deemed to be controversial. Hardly controversial.

I am only commenting that I don't think it was controversial.

I am not a fan of Mickey Mangun, but in her defense this did not deserve as harsh criticism it received. Her voice sounds worn and stressed with a little Rod Stewart fibe.

Most probably. This was done right after a week of singing at BOTT, where she does a lot of the praise and worship. And as hostess of the conference...sleepless nights as well.

I love to hear MM sing. My fondest memories are "Long and winding road...". Anointing is much more important than ability or 'finesse'.

Blessings, Rhoni

Ideal would be to have both finesse and anointing. Not to minimze spirituality, but long time singers reach a point where they become more of a legend and whatever they do - wrong or right - is accepted because of their long term status. I think she is entering that arena.

George, there are some people I will love to hear sing or preach when they are 95 and can barely get sound out. Finesse is great, but it really isn't all that important, especially in regards to folks who ARE established--simply because we are always going to love them.

Obviously someone really enjoys her singing the national anthem at political events, or they wouldn't keep asking her to do it. Often we are much more critical of our own singers and musicians than secular people.

What was with the free, free, free part? I guess I'm a purist when it comes to the national anthem.

Actually on some notes she screams on pitch. A lot of Apostolic singers have learned to do that quite well! JMHO
