Who Do You Think Should Sing The National Anthem At The Super Bowl This Year?

I'd love Willie Nelson to sing it.
Who'd you like DU?

3. You Know, Since Feb. 3rd Is "The Day The Music Died," Maybe

50's-60's music (for halftime) would have been fun.

6. Yes! It's an anthem, not a dirge, a jazz song, or a folk song

What about the word "anthem" is so obscure?

How about Bruce?

29. Yep,

I don't follow them quite as close as Maryland (alma mater) but my Dad is a HUGE fan. He's so funny when he comes here in the fall (from Cincinnati). He can't quite understand why we don't carry all the Ohio State/Cleveland Browns games....

41. Don't tempt me....

I'm beginning to think it might be fun to meet up at a bar during a Dallas game (one they are likely to lose).....
(Slightly OT, I actually WAS thinking about seeing about setting up a Maryland meet up some time in the near future, I would be curious to meet mrromo, er madinmaryland among others)

16. Fergie or Mariah

I contend either Fergie or Mariah Carey would do a pretty good job. Hopefully, it will not be a no talent hack. However, I would not be surprised if it were a no talent hack.

35. Jordin Sparks

Local (Glendale) girl, got her first big gig singing the National Anthem at a Cardinals game.

At the time, a friend of mine said - "wow - she is good - she should try out for American Idol" (this was well before the season started).
