Is Zooey Deschanel’s Rendition of the National Anthem Ruining Your Life?

Yesterday the painfully adorable star of The New Girl and female half of the band She & Him sang the national anthem at Game Four of the World Series, and some people didn’t like it. It was “the most boring national anthem ever,” says JP Moore on Buzzfeed, and “I’m not ready for this sexless sort of knock-kneed kiddie bullshit,” says Natasha Vargas-Cooper, at Grantland. “I want to hear the sounds of a woman who has known loss and triumph, not the pubescent squeaks of a flinching sitcom star with cute bangs and a stupid blog.” Meanwhile, “i thought Demi Lavoto was suppose to sing. I dont want sports,” writes an E! commenter.
