"With all the kindness I can  muster, I give this one piece of advice to the next pop star who is asked to sing the national anthem at a sporting event:

Save the vocal  gymnastics and the physical gyrations for your concerts.

Just sing this  song the way you were taught to sing it in kindergarten — straight up,  no styling.
 
Sing it with the  constant awareness that there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines  watching you from bases and outposts all over the world.

Don’t make them  cringe with your self-centered ego gratification.

Sing it as if you are  standing before a row of 86-year-old WWII vets wearing their Purple  Hearts, Silver Stars and flag pins on their cardigans and you want them  to be proud of you for honoring them and the country they love — not  because you want them to think you are a superstar  musician.

They can see that  from the costumes, the makeup and the entourages.

Sing
“The Star  Spangled Banner”
with the courtesy and humility
that tells the audience that it is about
America,
not you.
