Good question. Yes, I would be happy to serve on the panel to audition anthem singers (this is a particular pet peeve of mine).
However, this issue is not limited to MLB or the Series. It is really bad. Someone mentioned Roseanne Barr, then there was Steven Tyler at the Indy 500 a few years ago. I could go on and on.
It is a difficult song to sing. There are many good singers (n their own genre) who lack the talent to pull it off. Sometimes the problem is they try to "make it their own." It's not a song to be messed with, it is our National Anthem. There are dozens, maybe hundreds of singers out there who could do it justice. (I didn't hear Baker or Cyrus.) I think it is all about who you are, who you are connected to, who your agent is, etc.

I see, you are watching Fox and think it is American Idol. I don't believe the song was written for the enjoyment of the listeners. But, I do agree that Carl Lewis should never, never sing it again. Find that footage....it will make Billy Ray and Anita sound like angels.

I heard the Gatlin Brothers sing it until now and it became great and the 1st to pop in my head.i've got heard loads of great variations of it besides as undesirable variations..the single's who substitute it to make it sound like a sparkling song or something I hate.

I agree that it should be screened. that goes for all national anthems too, not just the American one.
