To sing, or not to sing?

(NOTE: I have asked twice, and respectfully, for folks to refrain from comments of political and religious nature. It’s a simple poll about which song is preferable. If you prefer none, please feel free to a) not vote and b) comment that you prefer neither. Attempting to make a point about religion or politics is only going to cause problems. Thank you)

This isn’t exactly topical in the middle of a road trip, but it’s something that came up during the first homestand and I see people commenting about it again today. What do people think about the singing of “God Bless America’’ at the start of Kings home games instead of the anthem? It seemed to go over better with a more powerful singer, but do you like it?
