Forgive me folks. I am not an American I am English. I watched a clip of Beyoncé singing the national anthem. I watched the audience and the reaction. I watched the president and his advisors and people around him. All of them were filled with pride it was clearly written on my face. Although you may not have appreciated the performance. It is clear that thousands if not tens of thousands perhaps millions did actually enjoy The performance. I did not think it was in any way disrespectful to the original piece. I thought it was quite inventive and creative while still remaining the national anthem. It's not even sensible to compare it to the flag as that is purely Visual. Music is self-expression. The original writer of the national anthem I am certain Would appreciated what Beyoncé And many other incredible artists had done to the song.
