Steven Tyler

I liked the Steven Tyler version of the National Anthem.

2 things to comment on.

1)I don't really care who sings the National Anthem. We know it's a hard song to sing no matter how well trained a singer is. So, thinking a good outcome will be the results from Roseanne Barr or even people who are career singers is never a given. In the end, it's entertainment and when entertainers do it - you get what you get. I saw Tyler last night and it wouldn't have been the version I'd have chose, but at least he got to those high notes better than I expected. But, like I said, who cares, really?

2)I don't care much about who divorces among the rich and famous, but I am sorry to hear about Klum and Seal. The pictures always appeared genuine, but we never know what goes on in a marriage, even the ones that seem perfect.
