It is bad (moreso when watching it than just listening to it).
I read some idiotic comments by people insisting that she's a lefty who butchered the song on purpose to show disrespect for the anthem and the U.S. -- paranoid extremists who see themselves as the patriotic police or something.
She seemed to think she'd nailed it when she wrapped it up. I thought she was probably on something, but maybe she just made a really terrible decision to try to make the anthem jazzy sexy cool. Yesterday, she said she's sorry; that she took a creative risk which didn't hit the right tone.
I feel kind of bad for her, but at least she's owning it and admitting she really missed the mark. She didn't owe anyone an apology, in my opinion. It was a backfire and pretty damn funny.
