Lawmaker: National Anthem Singing Should Be Regulated - Indiana News Story - WRTV Indianapolis



I for one will say I like the National Anthem sung the traditional way and I do not like the way so many people have butchered it here lately. But I also believe in the Constitution and the right to free speech. So wouldn't dictating how people can sing the anthem be a violation of freedom of speech? Lets hear it INGO. What do you think.

I think its commercial use should be regulated, just like for the flag and such.
But I also believe anyone should have the right to sing it, no matter how bad they sing.

I don't think it should be regulated, but......


Give the anthem the respect it should have, sing it right, sing it strong and sing it with your heart.

I'm becoming more in favor of a part-time legislature. If they have time to regulate how songs are sung, then they obviously have way too much time on their hands.

It shouldn't be regulated but the people in charge of talent (for sporting events and the type of events that feature the National Anthem) need to realize that it isn't American Idol and they should do a better job in picking talent that won't try drawing it out with 10 minutes of falsetto added (I'd rather hear autotune than that crap), talent that will ruin the song because they're not talent vocalists, and they should avoid all Canadians (actually we all should).

Out of control spending must wait, gentlemen. This song singing needs to be addressed!
