There’s a recent commercial, for a bank I think, in which a woman sings “America the Beautiful” in a non-traditional style. It’s quite pretty.  
Does anyone know her name?

It could well be. I’m trying now to find the answer. I’d really like to hear the whole song.

It’s Cyndi Lauper, in a [tide](http://www.tide.com/en_US/funspot/funspot_songdownloads.jsp) commercial.  
I love how she sings.  
Why do so many girls spell their names so funny? 😛
