For a change of pace-- here's a technical look at Lady Gaga's inauguration arrangement...

Mixed meter, chord tricks, and other good stuff. Not Whitney Houston, but damn good. Gaga's an extraordinary musician
with a deep love and respect for the music.

Best rendition I've ever heard, and the analysis doesn't take away from it at all. nt Hekate Feb 2021 #1

I'd have to say this was the best rendition perhaps because of the insurrection MagickMuffin Feb 2021 #2

it had a very special meaning to me. I thought Lady Gaga did an excellent job signing our anthem. Considering what happened just a couple weeks earlier it had me in tears.

She is just too much of a professional to break down.

Even great singers have a hard time with that song. She is amazing.

I heard some parts in 5/4, but now I see how that was achieved. Great version of this song, although I thought the key was a little too low for her. I wouldn't sing it any lower than A flat.
