10 Worst National Anthem Performances Ever
by Monica Herrera, N.Y.   |   July 01, 2010 5:54 EDT

It must seem like a good idea. How else to explain why so many artists will
try anything -- whether it's fiddling with the arrangement or striving for
the glory notes that only divas can hit -- to put their own stamp on the
national anthem? Getting booked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a major
event is an honor for any artist, so why not try and make it memorable, like
Whitney Houston's epic take in 1991 or Marvin Gaye's eminently soulful '83
version?

Alas, not everyone -- in fact, almost no one -- reaches that level of
greatness. With that in mind, Billboard brings you the 10 worst national
anthem performances ever, after which you're welcome to purge your ears by
listening to the five all-time best. Here's to U.S. of A.


10) Josh Groban and Flea, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cynKT3gf6SI

Back in January, we asked whether this unlikely coupling at the BCS
championship game was the "weirdest national anthem ever," and with good
reason. Josh Groban and Flea may be friends in real life, but their musical
inclinations -- he's a popera star who cameos on "Glee," he's a funk-punk
bassist who plays with Thom Yorke -- don't exactly scream "hot collabo."


9) Keri Hilson, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6A9Fuv72CE

Keri Hilson has the vocal chops to make "The Star-Spangled Banner" soar, but
unfortunately, the R&B star's performance at an NBA Lakers vs. Hawks game
this year did just the opposite. Why? Hilson committed the sin of all sins:
forgetting the lyrics. Let the grumbling commence!


8) R. Kelly, 2005
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkI7F5u1BGY

Notoriously excellent at turning ordinary performances into logic-defying
moments, R. Kelly must have been trying to channel the great Marvin Gaye when
he decided to go with a soul arrangement of the national anthem for a
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao boxing bout. The results got people talking, but for
all the wrong reasons, from the unnecessary use of handclaps to the even more
unnecessary use of Chicago step dancers.


7) Steven Tyler, 2007
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psi2930wuVo

The Aerosmith  frontman's one-of-a-kind voice is perfectly suited to howling
choruses like "Love in an elevatuhhh," "What did her daddy doooo," or, "Dream
until you're dreams come truuue." "O'er the land of the freeeee," however?
Not so much.


6) Jesse McCartney, 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhfU-2VL6EI

Singing at the Pepsi 500 in 2009, Jesse McCartney skips over a whole portion
of "The Star-Spangled Banner" with such confidence, you'd think everyone else
before him had performed it wrong. The former teen idol makes our list for
the same reason as Hilson but ranks higher because, unlike her, he doesn't
make up for his mistakes by hitting his notes.


5) Aaron Neville, Aretha Franklin and Dr. John, 2006
http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/family/watch/v287968n9W4BjJH

It had all the makings of a potentially great national anthem performance.
Super Bowl XL was the first since Hurricane Katrina, and two New Orleans
heroes -- Aaron Neville and Dr. John -- were there to proudly represent their
hometown, along with Detroit soul queen Aretha Franklin. Also, a gospel
choir! But sadly, these elements added up to something that just didn't leave
us feeling good. Perplexed, maybe, and surely uncomfortable. But definitely
not good.


4) Scott Stapp, 2005
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDEPd7ygIII

"The Grammy Award-winning voice of Creed" has bungled the national anthem on
several occasions, but a 2005 performance from the NASCAR Ford 400 best
demonstrates why this man should never sing this song. Severed notes and
brooding growls do not a good "Star-Spangled Banner" make.


3) Michael Bolton, 2003
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZrK_kOk8Lw

Before there was Sarah Palin reading notes from her hand, there was Michael
Bolton. At a Red Sox vs. Yankees baseball game in 2003, the crooner invited
the wrath of fans when he dared to peek at the lyrics scrawled on his palm.
Between that and the bizarre echo following his every line, Bolton's
performance was an epic fail.


2) Roseanne Barr, 1990
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDMvfAq7QPw

Even the most thick-skinned Americans had their feathers ruffled by Roseanne
Barr's national anthem performance at a 1990 San Diego Padres game. She
wanted to be obnoxious, in a number of ways -- by shouting the lyrics totally
off-key, grabbing her crotch, and spitting on the pitcher's mound -- and it
worked. The best part of this particular video, though, is that it serves to
remind us that Madonna not only felt honored by Barr's performance but spoke
with an entirely different accent 20 years ago.


1) Kat DeLuna, 2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q98BuAX2T0U

Oh, Kat DeLuna. Once a pop newcomer with a bright future, the Dominican
singer never quite recovered from this national anthem performance at a 2008
Dallas Cowboys game. Any way you look at it, it's a spectacular failure. She
tries too hard to hit the notes that only a rarefied circle of divas can,
then takes us on a painfully bumpy roller coaster ride of vocal runs. She
half-forgets the lyrics. She completely botches the last note. And she does
it all with the swagger of something who believes she's positively killing
it. When a chorus of boos erupts at the end, it's far too little, too late.
