I like America just like it is. I say get rid of Macy Grey & get a true American!

Macy Gray hasn't "EARNED THE RIGHT" to even suggest to change the Flag.
Maybe she should enlist, put her life on the line for days at a time and even shed some blood for our Country. Then and ONLY THEN, has she the right to do so.

Before this idiot suggestion had anyone here ever heard of someone named Macy Gray? well, now you have. Mission accomplished

[Lil GTO]

Amen!

If she doesn't like our nation's flag, i'm sure she could find a country whose flag is more suitable to her taste! Thanks for the heads-up. I wouldn't buy one of her albums if my life depended on it! Enough is enough!

Never gonna' happen...

Well if someone drops something heavy on her head she’ll see all kinds of different colored stars.

She does live in Hollywood so I guess she qualifies as a "Hollywood type" as another poster mentioned. She is from Canton, Ohio.

She had a problem with bi-polar depression. Has had a very successful life though from the looks of it. Macy Gray - Wikipedia

If it weren’t for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who fought and died for our country and that flag you might not be here to express your opinion nor have a synagogue to pray in.

Just think of that when you say it’s an inanimate object because what it represents (FREEDOM) is not inanimate.

I love my country. The flag, I'm just ambivalent about. Seeing tons of flags flying doesn't stir me to patriotism, and seeing them missing doesn't make me feel any less love for the USA. I don't need a flag of ANY kind to love America.

And it's time we ALL stand up to these lunatics who do not like this country. If she and anyone else wants a new flag, let HER move to another country and change it there.

There is enough anti-semitism in this country without you having to add that you're Jewish. Let me take a wild guess - you're a liberal.

Macy Gray is from Canton, Ohio. Home of the Football Hall of Fame. I had the unfortunate experience to see her sing the National Anthem at a HOF game. We were excited that a famous Cantonion was going to sing.

It was a disgrace to our nation and an embarrassment to our town. She was so drunk or stoned. She forgot the words. Slaughtered our National Anthem. Macy Gray is not a patriot. Who does she think she is to even suggest changing the USA flag. 🇺🇸 What has she done for our country

Hey! Not all of us are liberal! Some of us are completely sane!

Not saying I am, but that's another discussion...

Which was changed from the one before it. In fact, the ONLY one that was the actual "Star Spangled Banner" only had 15 stars on it. The current flag is NOT the Star Spangled Banner. So y'all are putting your hand over your hearts to worship the wrong flag when you sing the song.

The flag changes when new states are added to the country, with new stars to reflect the addition. There were two "first" American Flags: the "Betsy Ross" flag, and then the official 13-star flag. The Star Spangle Banner was a 15-star flag representing the USA from 1795-1818.

If you're not okay with someone even bringing up the notion of changing the flag, then you're not okay with the whole point of the USA - which is to enact change. If you're not okay with change, go live in a country where change isn't allowed. I hear Saudi Arabia is lovely this time of year.

To change the flag to capitulate to the notion that all of us must bow to pressure from the Blm crowd is dangerous. We are all people as one nation. Biden just issued 19th as a holiday. That should be enough

The United States flag does not wave because the wind blew past it. The United States flag flies from the last breath of each American soldier who died protecting it no matter what color or creed.

My father was in combat in both WWII and Korea. He often said that the best sight he ever saw was the American flag flying over base camp. It meant that they returned there safely. Not one to get easily choked up, he often did when recalling the sight.
