I'm not totally sure what musiciano meant, but i don't think it has to do with compression or not so much, although that can of course factor in. It sounds more like you are reading lyrics from your computer, sustaining, and adding pitches. Even for the anthem, I think there has to be a certain degree of connection to the song, even if only in an off-handed way. You want to put a "force" behind the song. Not as in tension power of compression, but a force as in some kind of real drive as a singer. This can happen whether you are are singing super lightly or belting like kelly clarkson.
