That depends on how many people are watching you play checkers, Charles.

What if I'm playing Chinese checkers in front of a thousand Norwegians?

Both the U.S. and Norwegian anthems must be sung in such cases. The board won't be offended.

One should not try to "own" any national anthem as Christina did...which sucked regardless. I'm sorry, but I can't STAND her. It reminds me of an episode of The Osbournes when Kelly was doing an impression of Christina singing "Jingle Bells". She said it takes her five minutes to get to "bells". I can believe it!

Ha ha, yeah, I really do hate Christina Aguilera. Whoever picked her to sing the anthem should be blamed, really. It's not like it couldn't be anticipated what she'd do with it.

Second degree anthemic manslaughter!

I say we get JohnK to bring up the charges.

This is the best point made in the entire thread. SO....conspiracy theorists - someone wanted the anthem to be butchered....yes? Alligator was just the means to the end?

I doubt that very much. It's just that her star has risen again, what with Burlesque. Sure, Cher might have been a better choice, but hey... to some, Christina is cuter. Actually, given the choice between the two, I would run away screaming.

But Cher would have done it in a "costume" that, if made into a rectangle, all the fabric used wouldn't cover a tray table.
