I'm sorry but she didn't sound that good at all to me. I don't see this as any better than her last trainwreck performance of this song. The National Anthem is a tough song to say and not everyone can handle it. This just isn't a good song for Mary to sing. In fact she wasn't even 'singing' she was screaming. There was nothing 'soulful' about this performance it was just painful to watch. And to think this was just her sound check. Eek!
