John Legend sings National Anthem at World Series
Springfield native John Legend sang the National Anthem before tonight’s Game 2 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.
From the Wall Street Journal:
WSJ: A lot of veteran performers have screwed up the national anthem. They take it for granted and they forget the words. What are you doing to avoid that?
John Legend: I don’t want to jinx myself, but I’ve done the national anthem a few times before. It’s challenging because you do it by yourself a cappella in front of millions of people. The song itself, the way it’s composed, it can be tough: it’s low at the beginning and high at the end. You want to start in the right pitch, so you end on the right pitch. Some singers start too high at the beginning and they have no where to go at the end. I’ll be fine.
