  Is it just me?

Did anyone else find it funny that this year's Superbowl had Celine Dion sing "God Bless America" during the opening? Part of the refrain is "God bless America, my home sweet home." So, is it just me or did the Superbowl Commission not realize that Celine Dion is Canadian?

I didn't see it so I didn't notice that. I don't find it especially strange though. BTW, I know what the superbowl is, I know who Celine Dion is, I know that she's Canadian. Never heard God Bless America that I recall though. That's not teh national anthem right? I've heard that, but if I remember rightly that's the one that goes oh say can you see, or something like that.....

I didn't know where she was from, and it didn't cross my mind.

Haha! Yeah, really, what the fudge is up with that??

I didn't notice because I don't own a tv and didn't watch the superbowl and don't know who played (and more importantly don't give a fudge), but, the absurdity of the situation does not escape me. Typical American corporatism though.

I didn't watch the Superbowl this year. I heard that she sang, but until now, I didn't know that she sang that song. This certainly isn't the first time that someone sang a patriotic song at a sporting event, which wasn't appropriate to their nationality. It happens all the time. Usually it gets everyone's attention when they flub the lyrics. I take it that didn't happen this time.

I thought is was an extremely strange choice and I even said so to my son who agrees with me. I can't abide her voice anyway and muted the T.V. until she was done singing. If they were going to get a non-American to sing "God Bless America," then why didn't they get someone with a decent voice like Charlotte Church or Annie Lennox?

I didn't watch the Superbowl and I didn't know she sang. But yes I do think it's a little odd.

Pretty darn close to "What is the Superbowl?" and "Who is Celine Dion?".

I don't care. But I didn't watch any part of the Superbowl anyway and did not know anyone sang anything.

I didn't watch or know she sang, but I guess it is a little odd. If I did watch, I probably would have gone to the kitchen or somewhere while she was singing. ahem.

I'm just horrified that Celine Dion is allowed out at all to sing in front of people.

Its shocking - really shocking.

I didn't know that! that's pretty neat.

(how do we vote on surveys that are trying to get approval? I just submitted one, and I don't know where to go to check on it, or to vote on others' surveys.)

Here's my two "sense"... I think Celine has a lovely voice also like Charlotte Church & Annie Lennox...I don't watch many sports so didn't know this but sometimes I think they have a non American as an honour thing maybe...to me it really isn't that important as an American to make a big issue out of it...a lot of other bigger fish needing to be fried.

Hey Biggles...The Star Spangled Banner is the anthem...on that and God Bless America if you were interested just do a search for the lyrics...take care!

I couldn't care less how sung. It might as well of been me, with my great voice.
