Thanks for sharing the video of jewel I really don’t see why people were fussing about it ? They probably be happy with something like this ... 🤦‍♀️ https://youtu.be/Gl_HRy7bYLI

JEWEL National Anthem: There are federal guidelines on how/when to display the American Flag, and how it is not to be used in clothing, decorations, etc. The same goes for conduct during the performance of the National Anthem (kneeling is NOT on the list). HOWEVER, I can find no such guidelines on instrumental or vocal performances of our National Anthem, other than the original lyrics and score must be used. It seems the artist has freedom in their interpretation. That means a ten year-old, a retired Veteran, and, yes, even a gross comedian with no singing voice, may perform it. My issue is that, 90% of the time, the PERFORMER is the center of attention, and not the "land of the free and the home of the brave." I remember an interview with a master violinist; he was asked; to what did he attribute his great success? He replied "It took me ten years to master the violin, and it's taken the rest of my life to learn what NOT to play." Jewel and Rosanne would do well to follow that lead!
