It's the 4th of July, one of the most patriotic holidays in this country. You will hear many versions of the National Anthem over this holiday weekend either at local fireworks shows or sporting events, which isn't always a good thing.
You may not know the name Marlana VanHoose and that is a shame, but fans of the University of Kentucky Basketball program know her very well. VanHoose has been blind since birth and as a toddler, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She started playing the piano at age two and sings like an angel.
The National Anthem is without question one of the most difficult songs to sing, let alone sing well, especially acapella. We have seen some incredible versions, like Whitney Houston's Super Bowl rendition and some very bad versions...Rosanne Barr.
