I almost never look at Youtube beyond the links that get posted on this forum. Primarily because it takes forever to load?!? Is it just me or does everybody have slow load times? I pull it up and pause it cause I can't stand the stop and start!! I am just trying to watch the Whitney Houston National Anthem and have been at it for 10 minutes. Ridiculous!

I just watched it for the first time (because of your post). I wish she'd sing it for us every year. No speed problems. I have had speed problems with other sites, but then I discovered that it's the other site that has the problem, because my speed tests run the same whether it's fast or slow.

I don't remember ever having slow load times with YouTube and I do visit the site fairly often.

I have problems, but its because I'm on the cheap a$$ package and my ISP throttles my connection.

A friend I work with has a daughter that was talking about a more recent entertainer (sorry, she couldn't remember who) singing the national anthem. The daughter was going on about how good this person was etc. Donna told her, I'll show you how to sing the Star Spangled Banner like you are proud to be an American.....and with their talent showcasing the song. The daughter had to agree..
