Should Linda Lavin Be the Next to Sing The National Anthem?

She did such a fantastic job on the 10+ versions of her show’s theme song. It seems like the natural evolution after hearing Fergie’s version!

What do you think?

It sounds like Linda inspired Fergie’s “tone” with the National Anthem!

. NO! Although she does handle herself well when in musicals Lina lovers, wath her show in CBS' Apartmnt JKL ... she is SPLENDID as the mother. Perfect line readings.

They should play Whitney’s rendition every time and everywhere. It’s the best version of SSB of all time first of all and the organizers will be able to prevent any unpredictable acts from weirdos

If Linda's pipes have gone in the same direction as the rest of her then you already know the answer.

I still have fantasies of hearing Dina Martina do the "Alice" theme...

She had an amazing voice on Alice. Shame she hasn't gotten to use it more.

Tommy, I've quite you sleeping with both Vera and Mel.

Wrap a wet washcloth around it and then do your homework.

Only if she does the....bump, bump, bump, bump, bumpa...scat words at the end of the anthem.

I dunno. LL didn’t seem to have a accurate perception of herself in the grand scheme of things. She reminds me of “community theater” folk that think they are much more talented than the are and are always waiting for an excuse to sing, dance or be over the top so they can showcase what an untapped resource of talent they are.

Well this is a change of pace- a thread bashing Linda Lavin.

Ugh did she do vaudeville as well?

by Anonymousreply 19February 20, 2018 10:34 PM

Remember that episode where Martha Raye and her wore matching miniskirts and shredded low cut tops and rocked out on a new wave version of D'Ya Think I'm Sexy.

Linda did have a rockin body.

by Anonymousreply 20February 20, 2018 11:05 PM

I hated how she started dressing up on the show. She was always so extra and had to prove she was more than just a waitress/TV actress. No wonder Flo left.

I believe she was in the original cast of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater.

Abby and Brittany should be the Next to Sing The National Anthem!

They can do harmonies!

Used to be straight, used to be gay

Funniest thing, the saddest part is I'm neither which way

Going through life so talentless, without the bling

I wonder whoever told me that I could sing

There's a new girl in town, Vera, Mel and Flo

The flooze who shows off her camel toe

There's a new girl in town who is so tone deaf

She was going to leave, but she'll have to stay cause her son has B - D - F

Bump bump bump bump bump...

Linda Lavin was an inspiration to many gay men. She proved that you could live in a podunk in a dead end job that paid shit and had no future - yet never lose your delusions of grandeur. Ask any retail queen.

The National Anthem should not be a chance for a singer to engage in vocal masturbation. Just sing the fucking thing the way is was meant to be sung without all of the histrionics. Take a page from Australia and cute twink Harrison Craig.

Lavin singing theme a bit into the run after Tommy grew pubes and a big dick. Charles Levin also in the show that season.
