What's up with celebrities singing their national anthem in their 'own' style?

Did you see Fergie sing the Star Spangled Banner at the NBA All-Star Game over the weekend?

Whoa....yikes, it was done in a jazz style that was off key and not something that would pump up a crowd.

Now, she has said she just wanted to do something special but please just stick with doing the anthem, we're not there to hear you, we're there to see the event.

At the NHL All-Star game, Calgary's own Lynsay Ell absolutely nailed 'Oh, Canada' while Brett Young did a laid-back Country thing that really didn't fit either. 

And if you want to see our national anthem sang to perfection locally then just watch and listen to Lyndsay Butler perform.  Nails it everytime and makes you feel proud to be Canadian. 

Just needed to get that off my chest.  Let me know your thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

PS: Lyndsay Butler will be singing her lungs out this Saturday night in Claresholm at the Chad Besplug 5th Invitational Bull Riding event immediately after the bull riding.
