guess I'll have to look up this Ashanti.
Hoping she'll just sing our National Anthem well and with grace instead of "performing" it while changing the meter, key, and screetching to a halt on some note that leaves the melody and harmony unresolved.

Honestly curious. How could an a cappella soloist leave the melody and harmony unresolved?

The anthem is written to end on the tonic or main note of the key. Numerous "performers" have taken to ending their rendition on the dominant or fifth of the key. That note leaves the listener "hanging", waiting for a proper resolution which does not arrive.
