Who else agrees with me? It started out good, but then it started to sound like she had been a smoker for the past 40 years.

Probably... but once she started doing her own thing it just sounded off.

She might have been good in 1892, but she is awful now. They should have tested her before buying. They should have gotten whoever sung the anthem at the Cardinals-Eagles game, she was amazing.

I love Aretha Franklin but this time around she didn't sound so great.I can't even think of an excuse for her....maybe her emotions got the best of her. She has an amazing voice though.

The oath of office is written out in the Constitution. Obama, being a Constitutional scholar, knew that Roberts said the line wrong, and he waited for him to correct it.

So he didn't "forget," he was just being kind of a jerk by telling the Chief Justice, "Ur doin it wrong!"

There should have been a solo for the Star Spangled Banner and a choir for the My Country Tis of Thee.

Well if you want an idea of how confused I am after watching and listening to it all: "In 2008, the American music magazine Rolling Stone ranked Franklin #1 on its list of The Greatest Singers of All Time." Link. :P

You'd probably stutter too if you were standing in front of millions of people. Most people have trouble speaking in front of 10-20...

Not really. Back in the day, she could really sing. Its 2009, not 1967. The woman has to be close to 70 years old...

Jeez you guys, she's like 67 years old. She was there because she is a legend in R&B and Soul music. So what if she doesn't sound like she did 45 years ago. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
