The Star Spangled Banner is one of a few songs that I believe does not need, nor should ever be, personalized. Great harmonies here, beautiful voices and mostly following the original tune. What I find unpleasant is artists that do the popular "voice flutter" warbling and exagerated range to "make the song their own". Every citizen owns this song, it's not yours to modify. Sing it straight, the way it was written. Its value is the consistency.
