    R Kelly singing the national anthem

    ...was a complete disgrace. He had dancers in there during the national anthem, and had the music synthesized. He also told the crowd to "clap their hands" towards the end. It was a complete disgrace and was awful to watch. Anyone agree?

      Yea, I agree.
      Why couldn't he just do it a normal way?

      It was a fight! You're not supposed to start dancing!
      You're supposed to get hyped up!

        I agree it was a disgrace. Watch next time they have the anthem it will be remixed. Sing it the way the American anthem is supposed to be sung with respect.

          Exactly, a normal antheme doesn't make you hyped, that did when you get all the crowd in together on it.

            I agree.

            The whole event was pathetic.

            Quartey fighting a construction worker, a quick cut in the next fight, capped off by another unspectacular borefest involving Taylor and Hopkins.

              I wasn't able to see the way R kelly did it. But a national anthem is and supposed to be sung like a NATIONAL ANTHEM. With pride heads up. And no one dancing around.

                I watched this fight with 20 US Naval Officers.. think how they felt watching that..

                The National Anthem should be a somber moment, where everyone in the crowd is silent; not a R&B show with everyone clapping..

                I told them "hey its in Las Vegas"

                  I thought it was normal that the artists usually add their own "thing" to the national anthem.
