STEVE TYLER PERFORMS THE AMERICAN ANTHEM, OR DOES HE?

By Sally Bailey
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:27:18 +1100

Steve Tyler of Aerosmith has been copping a bit of flack over his performance of " The Star Spangled Banner " at a Baltimore Ravens / New England Patriots AFC title game a couple of days ago.

Unlike the cringy performance by Meatloaf at the Austalian Football League Grand Final in 2011, I reckon Steve Tyler didn't do a bad job. He is Steve Tyler....what did people expect? Sure, it ain't no Judy Garland style rendition but it was heartfelt and he appeared to be giving it his best shot. Plus, Tyler did not have the benefit of a band behind him. Unfortunately all the Meatloaf AFL 2011 footage has been removed from the internet and we can't give you an opportunity to compare. But check out Steve Tyler's acapella rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" anyway. Tis' some light entetainment to discuss or debate over the dinner table this evening.

I don't understand what all the hoo-har is about this, the man is in his mid-60s, I reckon he's done a fine job, don't you?

  1. Steven Tyler To Judge American Idol

    One of the problems Ellen DeGeneres had as a judge on American Idol was that she was just too darn nice. You could see she was having trouble telling contestants when they just weren't very good. Well, it looks like Steven Tyler may be cut from the same cloth.
