I'd have to add the Dixie Chicks to the top rungs of the "best rendition of". Very nice harmony on one tough to sing song.

At the other end of the spectrum and for some additional cringe worthy singing, don't forget Carl Lewis. "Uh-oh..."

It was sort of, "unfunny". Sitting there, waiting for her to screw the lyrics up. Then I said, nah, she's way too good for that.
Not.
She had her haters before. A few more now. A bad day at the office for her camp.

I agree we should expect better from a pro but I am willing to leave some room for "I was nervous and lost my place" , or " I was thinkin about the improvisations I was adding and forgot where I was in the song". etc. Making mistakes is human. I even made a mistake once when I thought I had made an error but really hadn't.

Everyone makes Mistakes , it doesn't make them unAmerican. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I also agree that it is an extremely difficult song to sing. Not the words but the tune is rediculous for most peoples vocal range. "America the Beautiful" is a great song and i think that except for the tradition that supports "The Star Spangled Banner" , we would have changed to "America the Beautiful" or "God Bless America" (civil liberties group would challenge that) a long time ago.
