The rules of singing the national anthem are simple: Move the song along in a uniform manner, do not attempt half-baked impressions of Christina Aguilera, do not add any more notes and, above all, realize the song is about your country, not about you or promoting your television show.
For the second year in a row, The X-Factor's Demi Lovato ignored all of these rules while singing the anthem in "look at me!" fashion before Game 4 of the World Series at Detroit's Comerica Park on Sunday:
Jack White was right: There really is a difference between a singer and a vocalist.
Look, Fox pays a lot of money to broadcast the World Series and so we're forever doomed to an October anthem roster consisting of glorified karaoke contest winners and people looking to extend the wonders of high school drama class. That's their right, but the least the network can do is provide a number so we can vote off their "stars" for future World Series opportunities.

I'm pretty sure the writer is saying not to sing the National Anthem like Xtina.
And yet that half-baked version of Christina Aguilera can manage a #1 radio hit, whereas the real thing remains irrelevant on days other than Monday and Tuesday.

If you have any gripes with the article, take it up with the newsmakers not D.M.F. I'd hate to see you get reported for a completely off topic post. I think it's extradoarany for Demi to be compared to such a revered figure like Christina this early into her career
