This is singer-songwriter Keri Hilson, who inadvertently rewrote the national anthem during this rendition before a recent Lakers game (video’s after the jump). I’m not here to bury Hilson, even though she probably got her just desserts for trying to showcase herself instead of just singing the damn song. No, I want to put on my waist-high old man pants and rant about the crowd who just decided that Hilson’s gaffe was reason enough to abandon the tradition altogether. Just shut up until the song’s over. How hard is that? If I sit next to you at a game, and you scream after “And the rocket’s red glare,” I will kick you in the balls. Try me. Ball-kicking is a pastime of mine. –I’m Not Obsessed. Thanks, Ann.
