I just don't like the 4/4 version of the National Anthem. (Except the original one Whitney Houston did of course)
Should have been done once, and once only. Nobody can out-Whitney Whitney. That's all.
Just MHO.
It wasn't all 4/4, and that's what makes it so unique, imo. Once she got to the "And the rocket's red glare" part, it switched back to 3/4. There was also some other time sig mixture in there before that...and dat rubato!
dat early hemiola
<---that's for
@Cartierfor3All that mixture is a little disorienting at first and it's probably better and more enjoyable upon repeat listens, at least it was for me. I thought she was good, but really the best part is the band's arrangement. All you people who played in band go give it another listen -- it's amazing.
