Don't Scream it,Hum it,Strum it,Scat it.
Have the artist perform it beforehand so there is no  controversy.Play it. 
Sing it. It should be sung to please the  whole audience not one segment of the 
audience.

In  1968 because of his sucessful RCA recordings which was the same company
as  NBC, Feliciano got to sing the Star Spangled Banner for the baseball  All
Star game in Detroit, he simply strummed his guitar in a slower,  bluesier
version with a bit of scatting at the end that angered many  viewers sparking
a controversy that forced cancellation of many scheduled  concerts and  TV
appearances.
