I'm not going to get into whether or not I felt Grammy Award-winning musician Alicia Keys was right or wrong in creating a jazzy rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" during her performance at the Super Bowl Sunday night. What I am going to get into is a ridiculous article regarding the performance. It was written by Chris Willman of Stop the Presses and released yesterday via Yahoo . Willman started the "piece" (I use that term ambiguously) by saying, "...Just look at the backlash against Alicia Keys' version of the tune before the Super Bowl if you want a good example of bombs bursting in air." He went on to note that most singers and music critics praised Keys' performance, with Randy Jackson saying that she "killed it." He also noted the positive comments by film director Spike Lee as well as former Survivor contestant Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Perhaps he groups them in with singers and music critics; I really don't know....
