Jennifer Hansen singing the national anthem and shedding a tear or two during the Winnipeg Jets last home game in 1996 before the the franchise moved to Phoenix. Maybe she'll come back to sing it once more when the Jets come back to the NHL.

Hmm, I did not actually read his post.

You win this round American infidel! /shakes fist

[Cerpin Taxt]

Hideous. Did you see those sharp knees?

 

[Udgnim]

found it more interesting that the Canadian crowd kept cheering

guess it's just a culture difference

He didnt say A national anthem.. He said "a national anthem singer..."

Yes, we already covered this. Why are you always so damn ornery.

[amdhunter]

Ugh, their anthem mentions God in it. I thought Canada was better than that.

Hmm. I don't know what it's supposed to sound like, so I don't know if that was a good/bad performance or not.

I don't know how it goes for you guys up there, but I'm pretty sure most American's don't want to hear every singer's butchering-er, rendition.. of the national anthem. Seriously, it's horrible.. lol

Edit:

I'm pretty sure I could watch her walk out onto the ice all day long, though(0:13 - 0:20). :awe:

The bigger issue with it was to take out "Sons" because the government felt it was unfair to women or something.

Well, the American Pledge of Allegiance has God in it.

Actually, the Korean national anthem has God in it too. Though I'm not sure if its referring to the Judeo-Christian God, or God as a general term for almighty being.

I see that Canadians care about the Canadian national anthem about as much as Americans

 

[destrekor]

They cheer during the Anthem? And use horns?

Maybe that happens here in America too, I dunno... but most usually fall silent, listen, and stare at the flag.

 

[Regs]

Boobs.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Canada, lolz.

It was the last game and they were losing their team to another city. My guess is they were cheering the team and its faithful singer (she also made television commercials for the team AFAIK).

Marvin Gaye's version was the best by far.
