Proof that Disney should stop Forcing their Stars to Sing.

Okay, I've been in the States for a little more than two months now and I am kinda liking it here. Kinda. Liking.

Anyways, I've always liked the USA national anthem. It has a beautiful melody to it, and it sounds so patriotic and uplifting.

(Unlike some countries whose name shall not be mentioned).

So I started watching the videos of celebrities singing the national anthem at NFL and the Superbowl (not sure how these two differ, but that's not the point.) on YouTube.

Some were sung beautifully. Some... yuck.

One of the yuck ones was by Demi Lovato. Another pitiful Disney star forced to sing for her supper. Okay, that might sound too harsh but seriously, she can't sing.

Here's the video of her singing at an NFL match. Pardon me if your ears bleed.




She wasn't that bad I suppose. But definitely nowhere near good enough to sing at such a big event like that. Plus all that riffing was just so annoying. She definitely tried too hard. Unfortunately, it ended up sounding like she was having an asthma attack or hyperventilating or something.

Another horrible one was by Miley Cyrus. I don't know what the occasion was but it was sung at the White House.
     

In all fairness, I think Miley Cyrus did a slightly better job than Demi Lovato. There wasn't any of the ridiculous riffing that Lovato threw in for kicks, and she didn't sound as if she was trying that hard.

Don't give me the BS that Miley Cyrus was only 14 at the time and Demi Lovato was 16. There is no age limit to talent like that. You either got it or you don't.

Proof:

Video A - The Cactus Cuties Singing the National Anthem. (I don't know how old they were in this video)



Video B) Billy Gilman singing the national anthem.




Video C) Nothing to do with the national anthem but I just wanted to show how amazing the voices of young singers can be even without the music.



Video D) Just a random video I found showing the awesome talents of child singers.

Off the topic of child singers, here are some of the videos of the national anthem sung beautifully by award-winning singers.

Notice how the real singers sing so effortlessly and beautifully compared to Demi Lovato (mainly) and Miley Cyrus.


First one is by Kelly Clarkson.





Here is Beyonce at the Superbowl.




And Celine Dion, though ironically she's Canadian LOLZ. Still beautiful anyways.




Faith Hill at the Superbowl.





AND THE BEST OF ALL =D





DAVID ARCHULETA (at the Pro Bowl)





Call me biased but isn't he just the cutest <3


Okay, so maybe I should change the title of this post to the American National Anthem. But still... it's your national anthem people! Show it some respect by at least allowing REAL singers to sing it at major events.

Stop forcing actors to sing please. There was a video of Hayden Panettiere singing the national anthem also but it was so bad I didn't want to put it up.

And Disney, please redeem your honor as the greatest brand of childhood fun. Stop forcing your teenage actors to sing and then slutty-fying them to distract us from their terrible singing. We loved you before you shoved High School Musical, Hannah Montana etc. into our face. Stick to Mickey Mouse please.


Bleh.


Peace. Love. And All That.
