Why did Roseanne Barr butcher the national anthem in1990?
I’ve never been a fan of her show and had never watched it until I came across this video of her singing the national anthem in a disrespectful manner: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JvPAMn_nVps. Why did she choose to perform it that way? Did she provide any explanation for her actions?

Because she is a professional comedienne and what comediennes do is to try and make people laugh.
However, people expect a little bit of respect when it comes to the national anthem, not crazy attempts at humor. The mistake was in even asking a comedian to sing the National Anthem in the first place.
It would be like asking a comedian to preach a funeral. Wacky hi-jinx are not what’s expected so don’t ask them to preach the funeral.

Apparently, some fool told her that she had singing talent (it’s not true) but when she got there, it was quite obvious that she wanted to make a big joke out of it. That was very disrespectful to the nation. Hence the reason behind the show boycotts and the death threats she received.
Now, who wants to hear Rosie O’Donnell sing the national anthem at a sports event? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Being a raunchy comedian, she thought it would be funny and an attention getter. It kind of backfired on her, much like how Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl.
She just doesn’t know how to sing. She said that she tried the best she could. She just asked to do something great and just didn’t have any talent to sing. They should have know that b/4 they asked her. They should have watched the show “Roseanne” and they would have known.
