Here are some pics of 8 of the American Idols singing the The Star-Spangled Banner before the NASCAR race in Charlotte this afternoon. Was supposed to have been 10 of them with Diana and Fantasia not being there. Don't know what happened to the other 2 that should have been there.... Does anybody know what the C2 means on their shirts BTW?

C2 is the new low-carb Coke that will be launched in June. Ha! I just realized Jennifer was jennifer in that pic! She sorta doesn't look like herself to me with the hair.

I thought George sounded great. Camille was still DREADFUL. What I absolutely hated was when LaToya {whom I think should have WON} and Jennifer wound out the words. The sooner singers realize the National Anthem is a song written with 2 octives the better. All this drawing out the words out makes the song sound tacky. {And it is not just those 2....TO MANY singers do it!} I keep wondering why in America people attempt to change the song. Rarely does someone in Canada do it.... and I can not imagine someone doing that in Britian. {If you listen to the music from...Oh Canada and God save the Queen... the music is very similar....and you can actually sing the Star Spangled Banner along with either of those....but only if you sing it the way it is meant to be sung.}

I saw them sing at the nascar race, wonder if this is a sign that Matt and Leah will not be doing the tour. Broxi, I totally agree with you on the National Anthem and "making it your own", I don't like it when people do that although it isn't done very often in Canada when it is done, it really annoys me.

Nothing is more beautiful then the National Anthem sung the "traditional way." I do love when they harmonize, but not "jazz" or "funk it" up! I didn't remember they were doing this until I came into the room and saw the race had already begun.
