Did she just blank on the words? I was supposed to lead the Lord's Prayer at my church when I was a teenager. For the life of me I could not remember the first word... Our. Felt like an eternity, luckily my minister said Our, and off I went. Amazing that she kept it going.

To be fair to her, our National Anthem is really horrible in many qualities that measure a song, such as range of notes (it is an octave and a half between lowest and highest notes) and the quality of the lyrics. This is largely because the lyrics were composed first, then tacked onto a terrible English drinking song. So the lyrics and melody were not composed together.

I agree. That song sucks and they should stop singing it at sporting events. Government propaganda at it's finest.
