KD in CA Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Is there something special about this kid? He's dying of cancer? Dad's in Iraq? Did I miss something or is this kinda odd?
Mark Vader Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 What difference does it make? He did a good enough job.
nodnarb Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 no matter what mawkish story might be behind it, that was bloody awful.

He did a good enough job. let's leave the songs to the singers. I can understand that. But be careful, if you look at who some of these producers think can actually sing, then I feel safer with a civilian.

UConn James Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Yet another example of why it needs to be sung in the Key of G. Fully 96 percent of people just can't get their voices to hit those high notes. At least he didn't have all that fluff, draw-out stutter-style crap that most 'singers' now use. I hate that. It was meant to be a simple anthem.
Fezmid Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I think he was blind 215333[/snapback] Yes, he was blind. I did a search for him, and he was born after 26 weeks and weighed a little over a pound (!). That said, I still don't understand why he sang the anthem... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=timmy...G=Google+Search CW

Zamboni Man Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I didn't see it, did the Philly fans do their typical boo?
Fezmid Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I didn't see it, did the Philly fans do their typical boo? 215345[/snapback] No, they were very respectful. Started singing when the kid stumbled. It was quite amazing, really. CW
UConn James Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Make-a-Wish? I don't see what the complaining is about. If it were Alicia Keys singing that badly and you were paying her to do so, you'd have bitching rights, but this sounds like another one of our sorry-ass little First World problems.
Dan Gross Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 As far as I've been able to discern, he did the National Anthem last week as well, and did "God Bless America" at last year's Championship game... Looks like something of a "Philly icon." Braille award winner in 2004 for his achievements.
