In 2023 however, thats not what people want to see/ hear. It was good back then. but most of the singers back then were fairly nondescript, singing note perfect renditions. What makes you think or believe that in 2023 that people don't want to see nor hear great singers like Richard Loney, Roger Doucet(Montreal), Paul Lorieau(Edmonton) and Susan Smith(Calgary)?? Great anthem singing includes note perfect renditions. And when those legendary singers sang along to the organ playing, it added to hockey games.

How about Rene Rancourt in Boston, wild, now taken over by Todd Angilly. St Louis had had Charles Glenn. They had the fans yelling wildly before the game started and then we have Vancouver ....timid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooks Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Every anthem performance earns him the right to buy 1% for 15 million. At the trade deadline we could have new owners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its currently just a different era of national anthem singers. The type of singers you've listed are from a bygone era (and if you liked those singers, you must have been a big Mark Donnelly fan). It looks like variety is the order of the day. Not singing the anthems 'note perfect' isn't a punishable crime anymore, but I agree that taking too many liberties with the melodies (butchering) is annoying. Thats why i like Marie Hui , great pitch, good energy, and certainly not too hard on the eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was nothing like the guys Tiger mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When hockey and hockey's atmosphere was real, genuine and less commercialized and corporate. Edited August 22, 2023 by Tiger-Hearted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Erased Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If we can just get the national anthem and Lord’s Prayer back into schools, all will be right in the universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
