Best National Anthem Ever!

Exactly, Meatloafs version blows this away.

[@marcusaurelius3808]

Yeah Meatloaf performed the song with class and dignity but for Steven Tyler, it was all about making a spectacle of himself. ( Which is never hard for him to do in the first place). Tyler's rendition is tied with Roseanne Barr for the absolute worst rendition of the National Anthem ever heard!

[@alisonfowler8193]

Meatloaf was singing from the heart. I'd have to agree with you!! This one gave chills too.

All of you saying that meatloaf -- who very few Mellennials and Gen Z's have heard of (unlike Tyler)-- would know that when determining a better singer one should consider that Tyler rarely uses vibrato. When Tyler started the anthem in a higher key, than meatloaf (who history barely remembers) he reached the heights in pitch Loaf did not upon executing "and the rockets red glare!". meatloaf is a is pseudo classical nobody, a blip in music history, with much less range in voice than Tyler -- who stayed true to his Rock form when singing the anthem.
