Unpopular Opinion: Chris Stapleton's version of the National Anthem is way overrated. He over-sings everything and his vocal gymnastics are every bit as bad as these black female R&B singers. The National Anthem isn't a time to show off how many different twists you can throw into the song......just freaking sing it straight, the way it was meant to be sung. But, full disclosure, I don't care for much of his stuff in general...everything he sings sounds the same. If you've heard 3-4 of his songs, you've basically heard them all.
Honestly though, I really don't like when
anyone sings it at events like that......I'd much rather it be played by a band, whether it's a marching band or a military band or the like.
