Song review: Beyoncé - God bless the U.S.A

God Bless the USA by Beyonce, Music Lyrics and Video

American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles unveiled the patriotic power-ballad 'God Bless the USA' on Piers Morgan's CNN show last night (Thursday 5 May), with proceeds going to families of 9/11 victims.
Following the death of bin Laden, patriotism was spreading throughout the whole country, and R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles covered the song which proceeds will go to charity.

'God Bless the USA' was written and originally released in 1984 by country musician Lee Greenwood, and was played at this year's Republican party convention. Its popularity increased after 9/11, and it was re-released following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Beyoncé's version will raise funds for the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit. The singer originally recorded the track in 2008 for the Obama presidential campaign, but never released it. It seems likely the death of Osama bin Laden on Monday has been the spur for this release.
