Two things I accurately predicted about this post: 1) The Zooey Deschanel lemming parade will be pissed about this hilarious post. 2) Someone who makes boring music will definitely sing a boring national anthem.

@Jeff Ting. We get it, now shut the fuck up troll. Stop trying to spread your opinion that others obviously don't have and don't want to hear just because you're a few of the oddballs out.  On topic. The view isn't up anymore… So does anyone have a link?

I'll take it over Xtina's showboating and wrong lyrics any day.

Okay, so I thought this performance was alright. She definitely lacks dynamics though.. It was like she was singing mezzo forte the whole song. So I can see why some people thought it was boring. Nice tone, but no presence in her performance.

She was perfect. It's about time somebody did it right.

It was really pitchy though… I don't understand why people liked it

I actually teared up a little. So beautifully simple. Until Big Tex made his cameo, aaaaaaaaaaand then I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Cute as a button……….. wait, IS THAT GEORGE BUSH? FUCKING WHAT????? HOW COULD THE PUBLIC TOLERATE THAT

Flat. Are you people deaf? This is bad. ahaha. Christinia Aguilera did a better job when she was 11.

She moved up from Hipster chick Id have a one night stand with to Invite her to breakfast, the day after, and see where things go.

To whoever wrote the headline and the opening paragraph, go screw yourself. This woman has a wonderful voice.

Whatever. Say what you will about her acting or her interviews, but I thought that was beautifully done. Seriously, it was one of the best versions I've heard in a long time.

It was lovely.

I think it sounded very nice.

Cute fail. I agree- she didnt put much emotion into it.

Finally somebody who doesn't try to put a bunch of Whitney Houston bullshit into it. “Ohhohhhwhoawhoawhoawhoa say… huh-can you seeeEEEeeeeEEoooyouuehhEHeehhEHoooho-ho-ho-eeee…” I've been waiting for this for like a quarter century!

She is freaking awesome!

The anthem was fine i was more concerned about the air force losers and fucking Bush…

That was excellent. Not sure what qualifies this as “boring”.

Am I the only one who doesn't hate her? I don't love her, but I think she's a decent actress and I enjoy listening to She & Him. She's not the best, but she definitely doesn't deserve the hate.
