Enunciation, diction, breath control, phrasing...

All on point. Current young singers across the board should get these things under control. I might listen to the radio more if there were actually singers on there like this.

LOL @ 8:17am, 'cause she country... and it was to her.

She reminded of Anita Baker when I was a kid. Its different to hear runs done by a person with a higher level of vocal skill. They're usually applied with purpose.

Now Idk why folks like her do everything else under the sun but put out fantastic albums? Get this chic some material!!

I'd listen to that voice over alot of the current constant offerings....

She did a really good job. Having background singers is a first, but it worked. At least they didn't ask Beyonce' to do it, thank God!

where's my stimulus? said...

Now they got back up singers on the anthem. Gotta love black folks. I did think they were gonna start singing some old slave hymn but lemme stop

Now that's singing!!! Thank God Beyonce didn't sing it...she would have made it into a "Sasha Fierce" moment, with her terrible runs, her fan to blow her hair, crawling on the floor and her Tina Turner rolling on the river moves.

I would love to feed Monica 2 no 3 KFC double down chicken sandwiches and have her wash it down with a peanut butter milkshake every night before going to bed.

@3:54 aint noone evar gon touch that one wh version.no.matter.what.

whitney (b.c.*) and fantasia are the only singers in the pop world currently that i believe are "annointed" to sing. the others can carry a tune, but are not gifted. i am talking about mariah...yes, she can do the dog whistle, but i dont get that tingle up my spine, not with jhud either.

*b.c.= before crack

but, monica did her thing! she looked and sounded very well. splendid!

off topic, i never felt "connected" to this song until after B.O. took office, i swear, at a basketball game shortly after him winning the election, the song took on a different meaning to me and i actually felt like a part of this great country of ours...could actually see myself in the stars of the stars and stripes!

Beyonce would have been the better choice. Ain't nobody checking for Monica like that. She had her little moment years ago. Beyonce killed her career just like she killed everyone else's. The only reason Monica's current album sold a few copies is because the real queen of music Beyonce doesn't have an album out right now. Monica knew better than to put out an album if Beyonce had one out.

You had to have been listening extra hard to hear any of the 4 things you mentioned.

I was very bothered by her
Lack of enunciation - (HO-O Say can you see), Lack of breathe control - (breathing in between phrases),
Bad Diction - (Whore the ramparts, Peruulous Fight).

She is always running and running and running I wish people would learn the words and how to say them properly -

Its our National Anthem for Goodness sake, less flowery runs and more emphasis on the words and their meaning

That is all

Damn y'all are a tough room! Give it up Haters! Monica did the damn thang! ...and you know it! Love her or hate her, she moved the crowed and probably got paid a nice chunk of change to "run" with her so called "lack of "breath control" jacked up "diction" and "poor enunciation!" she R.I.Ped it and when she was finished she should have slammed the mic on the court and exclaimed "What?" LOL!
Why can't y'all ever give a sista her props!

Why do so many Black females have to make excruciatingly critical comparisons and try to bring each other down a notch. Just sick of it. All hail Beyonce, but is she the only singer we are allowed to hear? So, Monica did not enunciate, huh? Get up there are do a better job, sister. People, find yourselves a worthwhile hobby.
