unbelievable...
 

wow.. hey I'm filipino, maybe I'll sing the Philippine national anthem when invited to our 4th of july company picnic.

Uuh or Not........ :yikes:

Or maybe, Barbara Streisand could sing the "Dreidel Song"

from the above link:
"What she said was that she was very sorry, that she meant no disrespect, that she was trying to make a creative expression of her love for the country," Hickenlooper said.

Both unbelievable and inexcusable! If she was asked to sing A SONG, then she has the right to choose what song to sing! But if she was asked to sing THE Star Spangled Banner, which is THE ONLY National Anthem of the USA as far as Im concerned, then there is no excuse to what she did. You can call it "politically incorrect", but Im tired of that crap. We need to start calling a spade a spade!

Now let me go outside and drive the X around...:thumbup:

From a professional standpoint she blew it big time.
Just imagine someone hiring a performer to sing a
specific song and they decide to sing something else.

No payday for that gig and maybe the phone won't ring again.

These comments sum it up nicely......

"We asked for the Star Spangled Banner and that's what we expected. No matter what her reasons for taking this action and deliberately withholding her plans from event organizers, she absolutely chose the wrong time and place to do it. She knew what the city's expectations were, and she was dishonest about her intentions."

Don't know why, but when reading that article, this came to mind....

there should be no substitution for the 'STAR SPANGLED BANNER' just like there should be no substitucion for the AMERICAN FLAG!!!

:yikes:

I agree she was out of line...but really. Interesting choice of saying considering

Absoulutely unacceptable and outrageous...Her phone doesn't deserve to ever ring again....Furthermore, she deserves absolutely no respect...
