Not a mistake: standing during the anthem is a political issue to many, so I figured I'd take the cautious route and post it here rather than risk getting it dinged in Front Room.
@Warrior: they usually hold the biggest stars for the halftime show...although there is an argument for Demi being a bigger star than JLo.
@joatmon: while even the Janet special is wishful thinking, I'd be willing to bet that she has zero interest in wearing something that hides those curves.
Of the women I'd risk it all for, only two are under 30 (the other is Aly Raisman).

Demi Lovato doing a cover of Hozier's "Take Me to Church".
She hits the range on this to do the Star Spangled Banner and not do a hack job,
*if this song in and of itself doesn't trigger some social conservatives the way "I kissed a girl" might.
Mike Pence might have to storm off the field at this point. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
Oh, I was thinking Halftime. My Bad. Yeah, the national anthem isn't as big of a deal. But NO ONE will ever do it as good as Whitney Houston did it several years ago. That was breathtaking !
I was in middle school for that. The school played the anthem every day before the morning announcements. My science teacher - who was almost every bit the stereotypical science teacher - suggested they switch to the Whitney performance (speaking of, shout out to her for making the RRHoF), and they did.
@Clubber: I can't name a Demi song other than Cool for the Summer, and I know that one mostly because WWE used it as a theme song for SummerSlam once. Didn't know who she was until the Vanity Fair photo shoot.
Oh: if anyone hasn't seen said photos, they're worth the Google search.
