I never cared much for our national anthem I always preferred America the Beautiful myself. I agree it is too hard to sing. By the way it came about because of the first Olympics. At that time we didn't have one and the band just would play the "star spangled banner" sometime after it was adopted as the anthem. I always like Oh Canada, I thought the little girl did good myself but that is ok, it is the way music is suppose to be, some like it some don't.   Brian Adams has always been one of my favourite singers. Do you folks really think he lip synced it? I couldn't tell but I was under the weather at that time.
