Steven Tyler's Star-Spangled Banner rendition has a lot of people Tweeting and upset.
During Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens, Tyler reportedly "squealed" and "screeched" his way through the national anthem.
Steven is currently a judge on the popular United States television show "American Idol." His position brings this performance under that much more scrutiny.
But what did Tyler do wrong? How was he supposed to sing the song? Tyler is a rock singer, formerly of the American rock band Aerosmith. Those who know him are familiar with his high-pitched screaming voice. That's just how Tyler sings. EttaKit can appreciate Tyler being true to his gift. It's Tyler's art, Tyler's way. Tyler's confidence is refreshing.
Tyler had his share of personal battles. He's admitted to being a drug addict, snorting cocaine to the degree of losing his family and his music career until landing in rehab. Yet through his dark times and his night, Tyler's flag still waves. What a testament to our nations anthem of strength that our flag still stands, as Tyler's does: ..."Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there!" (Video courtesy of youtube.com)
