Hi, I'm currently still reading this thread from the beginning (still stuck at page 300ish)
But, due to my curiousity, I can't help but ask for you all masters of vocal pedagogy for analysis of the performances from several established vocalists singing the US national anthem. Please also rank from the top to bottom

All of them are great to my point of view, but my knowledge of vocal is very limited, so I wish one of you senpais to make detailed analysis about the techniques done by those all talented vocalists.
