She did sing it beautifully but I think sometimes 'artists' take a little too much liberty with our anthem. People come to watch the game and players come to play...nobody came to watch someone's version of the anthem. She sang it well, though.

I'm hijacking this comment. Cyndi Lauper killed this, but many in this thread are unaware that this is a cover. This is not her interpretation of 'the Star Spangled Banner', it's her cover of Marvin Gaye's interpretation of 'the Star Spangled Banner'. She follows the exact same beats, and hits every note he hit and she KILLS IT! Mad props to her for doing it, but let's give ol' Marvin some credit here as well. I think Cyndi Lauper sang this less as a rendition of the National Anthem, and more as a tribute to Marvin Gaye. here's Marvin's version - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7Spl8aoqdjNpYk.html

Seemed like she decided not to try and hit the high notes as much as she usually does but I have a feeling she didn't want to take any chance of her voice cracking for this one. I'm just guessing because I know she can hit those high notes with unbelievable ease. And for the person commenting on the spelling of her name, lol. She spells it Cyndi Lauper, yes indeed.
