The Star Spangled Banner

Lady Gaga at Super Bowl 50 singing the National Anthem

No words needed.




Ok, so maybe a few words ARE needed. I absolutely know nothing about Lady Gaga. I had never heard her sing before, until she sang at the Super Bowl. I know nothing about a message or agenda she may represent.

There were a lot of posts on Facebook from conservative sources commending her performance. So I was encouraged to watch. I read the statement she made concerning her performance. It was extremely heartfelt and appropriate.

I also had heard about the disgusting, racist performance by BeyoncĂ© at Super Bowl 50. I wanted to counter that with something more appropriate and refreshing - to demonstrate the difference in two performances at one event. I wanted to lend support to someone when they do something right, as opposed to giving more attention to someone with an opposite message of hate - BeyoncĂ©

I had also heard she was trying to clean up her act. I don't even know what her act was/is. All I know is I am for anyone trying to clean up their act. And I don't believe I have ever heard a more flawless performance of our beautiful National anthem. So I shared it here. Sorry if that offends you.
