Why national anthems require no cheerleader

Posted by adi on Nov 14, 2009 in Play |

I’ve never been a fan of this modern trend of anthems being sung by an official singer at sporting events. They always seem to sound so much better when the crowd belt it out in unison. As if to emphasise this point compare this shambles performed at the recent France v South Africa game with the rousing rendition of the Welsh anthem from a few years ago.

No real comparison is there? Maybe one day the people that organise these events will see sense and return things to how they should be.

I quite agree. That second video is hair raising stuff, and I’m not even Welsh!

I saw the SA v France match on tv and it was shocking. I'm no fan of the cheerleader thing either but if you're going to do it, at least make sure it's done well.
