it's true, and too many singers of the national anthem do what i call 'stunt singing', where they go into vocal acrobatics at the end of the last word on every second verse. not out of soul, or feeling the song, just to showcase whatever technical vocal prowness they apparently have.
chris brown, who was flat and off-key to begin with, did it so many times, it was honestly like a parody or comedy sketch about this kind of singing. i remember thinking, i can't believe this is so ridiculous and bad. maybe that cat was just nervous.
but all singers, especially r&b singers, got something to prove with all that vocalizing on a word, these american idol singers, its just useless. Otis Redding had more soul then all of them and never did that **** once!Comment

^not all R&B singers go over the top, hitting high notes for no reason.
Babyface at 50 years old could still sing better than Chris Brown

He was neither flat nor off-key, it was the 'stunt singing' that was objectionable. Hear him straighten out on the song's highest note, though, and he nailed it. Kid has the ability and a sweet tone. They just gotta stop instructing them to go out there and violate this beautiful melody with that wannabe-flashy ad-lib-**** stuff. Chris is scarcely ever that elaborate on his own recordings even, which makes it doubly annoying.
Babyface is great, BTW.Comment

He sounded bad on TV alsoComment

He is terrible. Studio magic gives him his money or like previosuly mentioned the adlibbing made it worse.Comment
