I dunno, the link was to Faith Hill singing the anthem, not Billy Joel, and the "she" reference was after the link.

I thought Joel did a bang up job on the anthem and I don't always like it. The melody is kind of a toughy, lot of range, and many singers botch it, IMO. Joel nailed it though. Smooth, classy, powerful. If you overlook the way he went way off pitch on the 5th word, "see," that is. I'm glad to see him getting some exposure and work. He got ripped off pretty badly a few years back, another case of the star trusting the wrong business advisors.

Billy Joel singing the anthem.

(If you don't mind the Japanese commentary along with it)
