We have all been to events that start with the singing of the national anthem. From sporting events, to holiday ceremonies, and assemblies. It is a song that we all grew up listening to and learned.
Many of us still get chills when we hear the words, "Oh say can you see...." It is a song that represents our country. Our freedom...and so much more.
A lot of people would say that it's creative and Jackson Dean (the young boy) did a great job. Others will say that the anthem was disrespected. Songwriters would say that you don't change the melody to a song, especially one like this one...
So give it a listen and you decide for yourself. Did Jackson disrespect the song by changing the melody? Or, because it is such a difficult song to sing, was he justified to make it fit his style? his singing begins at :50....
