It was the comeback performance of the century!
Jennifer Hudson, the Chicago native, looked beautiful and sounded aboslutely amazing. It was the 27-year-old Chicago native’s first public performance since the slaying of her mother, brother and nephew in their Englewood home on Oct. 24. Though she stretched a few notes, she didn’t oversell the song or her voice. She reveled in its power. The final “home of the brave” was a howitzer into the heavens.
Most Americans likely have never sung the whole song, and don’t even know there are 3 more verses to SSB that we do not sing at ball games. Most Americans cannot even remember the words to the SSB. They kind of go, “da da da …..” in spots.
America is a great nation. The greatest nation on the face of this planet. Which is why all the other nations of the world try to copy us. America, as the greatest nation on earth deserves a great national anthem and America The Beautiful would be just such a great national anthem.
