Sorry but she was awful. Sounded like she was trying to seduce someone. Singers need to do the national anthem like it is suppose to be done and not try to make it their own.

Ashley did an amazing job singing the national anthem today. Deb i dont know what is wrong with your ears, or maybe it is your TV?. There is nothing wrong with an artist singing with pride, passion and soul, which is what Ashley did today, That is how the national anthem is supposed to be sung !

My ears and TV are fine. I listened again and I still think she was awful. We'll just have to respectfully disagree.

Compared to the rest of the "stars" rendition she was GREAT !! What's with the only way you can sing it? Who made that rule? & Deb, seductive? really? I think you're confused with Marilyn Monroe's breathy Happy Birthday to prez Kennedy. Not even close.
