Welcome to The List,
The National Anthem…really NOT an easy song to do…but, Whitney Houston did a great job, so did Chris Stapleton and countless others…but for Warren Zeiders? Not so much. He sang the National Anthem before Saturday’s Big 12 Championship game between Texas and Oklahoma State. (Texas won 49 to 21.) If you saw it and LIKED it, you’re NOT in the majority. The poor guy was getting roasted WHILE he was still singing. There were so many bad reviews that he became a top 10 trend on X very early in the game. The comments ranged from “awful” to “hilariously terrible” to “ear-bleeding bad.” You can check out his anthem, here.

If you’re a Marvel fan…I may have some news if you were hoping in all these “Multiverse” story lines that there might be a return of Tony Stark and Ironman. TMZ says Robert Downey Jr.’s character won’t be returning. Downey’s character was killed off in ‘Endgame’. Marvel chief Kevin Feige confirms that moment will not be undone.
