Last night I heard the Japenese anthem at the rugby - I dunno if it was the way they played it but it was so dreary and slow and depressing! And I think the Russian one is in a minor key!! How uninspiring [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Some anthems are not just written to be sung by a soloist. I think that both the US and UK anthems sound daft when they are sung that way. They should be belted out by a large group for full effect.
I hate the way the anthems are done in the RWC! The sound of the music drowns out the crowd. I hope they get it sorted before the final! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]
I much prefer Land of Hope & Glory to God Save the Queen!
