I'm a black man and honestly never heard of Jewel and couldn't name one original song of hers but now I know this cover. Frankly, I loved it, her voice was clear and on key. Her personalization was in no way offensive nor was it the first time someone made it their own. This is America 🇺🇸, we encourage innovation, trial and error, originality. I'm giving her big hugs 🫂
The critics clearly have never heard Jewel sing. That was a classic Jewel. Never disappoints. I thought it was a beautiful rendition, with heart & soul.
She threw in her little yodel a couple of times. You love them or hate them. With as much heartbreak as the news has been delivering her rendition is quite timely. I don’t know how many people realize that the “traditional “ version is sanitized and cut for time.
Jewel couldn't sing badly if she tried. She sounds like an angel in her own unique way. All the haters gonna hate...that's all they have I guess. I say atta girl Jewel , she's never been one to conform or be pretentious and hopefully allows the negative words of naysayers and just hateful rude comments to roll off her back. They have no power unless you start caring what people think of you and that is a trap in my book.
You're not going to find too many renditions of the Star Spangled Banner better than that. She did it with great feeling and emotion. It's a shame that our country is turning into a fascist place where you can't show any emotion and some people feel they own the National Anthem and get to tell singers how to sing it! News flash: There are no instructions or rules to our National Anthem that says singers can't sing certain notes or take it a little higher or lower. Honestly, Jewel needs to turn that rendition into a single... it was so beautiful. Some people have no feeling to the point where you wonder if they've ever had an orgasm...
This is what the fuss is all about? Just watched it for the first time. Haha. I though it was great. The National anthem with a little southern sauce on it. Respect.
Saw on google search that Jewel ruined the song, was disrespectful and everyone was mad so I came to watch and see the disaster but I see nothing wrong. This is a lovely version of the anthem ❤
People need to get a life she sang it beautifully for the way she sings granted. I wouldn't want to hear it sang gangsta style, so I understand not liking it, but come on
👋 Thank you!!! 👋 I keep reading about just *how* bad and "disrespectful" it was, but now that I've watched it myself, i find absolutely *nothing* wrong with it 🤷 Her music might not be *my* music, but that was a good performance in my eyes (and ears).....she was off tone a time or two, but that's *live* music 🤷 People just *LOVE* to get worked up for *nothing* , I'm SO sick of hearing people bitch&complain about *the MOST* irrelevant bullshit 🙄
I think she did a great job. It was different and also seemed to be heartfelt. Where are people getting it was disrespectful? Good version of a awesome song. I like it. Thanks Jewel.
It wasn't offensive, she styled the song the way she wanted to sing it and to accommodate her range. Many artists have done this over the years. Stop dragging Jewel, be nice.
I finally decided to listen to see what the big deal was all about! Granted…no one sang it like WHITNEY…NO ONE!!💪👏 But as I got tears in my eyes then--with Jewel’s beautiful voice and unique style-I got tears again!!😢❤🇺🇸 Nothing to be ashamed about…Period!!
I honestly like this better than Whitney Houston's version, and I never thought I'd say that. Both singers sang it at the highest level, and Jewel sang it while playing a guitar! As far as a great performer, Whitney gave us that greatest rendition in that Broadway fashion- Jewel gave us a greatest rendition in a more traditional folkish style.
Would you take the flag and make the stripes vertical and put the blue square in the opposite corner? Just original enough right? As a musician/singer I was always told when doing a cover to "make it yours". And I agree with that 99.9% of the time. Just as the symbol of our nation, the flag, is not subject to interpretation so too the anthem of our nation should not be subject to interpretation. I'm not hating on it, I'm just offering a perspective.
Some far-right person on Twitter whined about Jewel's version, calling it "woke" (what?) so a bunch of their cronies are melting down across multiple platforms. They never noticed when she did the exact same thing at the NBA All-Star game. I guess their sort doesn't watch basketball.
It's not a bad version, I love her singing and I understand how she does it, I love it infact those critics must not have seen her NBA All Star Game performance, she also sang and played guitar there also!
🙄 oh *god* 🙄 How so very old-fashioned of you 🙈 What do you do when someone remains seated, or (god FORBID!!!), kneels during the national anthem??? 😆 Get with the times 🙄, *who CARES* about her having a fricking hat on while singing a song??? Like, come *ON* , that is a complete non-issue. People just *LOVE* to bitch&complain about *the MOST IRrelevant* bullshit.
Her version didn't really fit the occasion but I'm a fan, so. She was mourning as if being on location when this song was written. Or, she was on stage at one of her own concerts. It was really beautiful tho. But compared to Chris Stapleton's version, couldn't hold a candle. Two different styles. The National Anthem is showing respect for our country. Did she? Chris Stapleton sure did!
Way to butcher the anthem. I love Jewel's music and voice. But the The Star Spangled Banner is one song meant to be the same everytime. No artist personal flare is needed. It is not a Jewel folk style song. Sing it right or don't sing it at all!
It’s an awful anthem for our nation in the first place, we would do far better with Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land”! Other than an awful song, Jewel performed it in her own style, it was fine.
"Considerable consideration" about *WHAT* exactly??? 🤨 You had to think *that LONG* about it??? 🤨 There is absolutely *nothing* wrong with the performance 🤷 She might have been off tune a time or two, but if anyone has been to a concert, then they would know that happens at live performances 🤷 It was just another interpretation of the american anthem, no big deal, i have heard much worse..... *many* times before. And, i don't know what is supposed to be so "disrespectful" about it 😆 Obviously people need something to bitch&moan about again...... people like that want a *perfect* nationalistic *real* 'MuriKKKan patriot to represent. Ridiculous.
😂 OmG, *WHO tF* cares!?!? 😂 Like *seriously* !? Do you people not have *real* issues in life to worry about?? It must be nice to have the time and energy to bitch&moan&complain about such petty&irrelevant things. Republicans by any chance?? 🧐😆🙈 Besides, if you took the time to check before bitching about this, then you would know better 🤷 Women are expected to remove *sports* hats/caps by the anthem, but are *ALLOWED* to wear decorative hats (such as the Kentucky Derby.....and Jewels cowboy hat). So there you go, you can move on with your lives' 😆 P.s. I found that @ettiquetschoolofamerica, in two minutes. Google is your friend, you should try it out sometime.
😂 What a *ridiculous* comment 😂 HOW *BORING* would it be if *every* performer sang the *exact same* version, *ALL* these years!?! 🙄🙈 Let me guess......Republican? 🧐😆 Get outta here.
She made it way to personal. So personalized to her that no American could sing along with her. And in my opinion, she has really lost her touch. Some of those notes were horrible.

U said it!
jewel is AMAZING!!!
You missed out. She's great.
The critics clearly have never heard Jewel sing. That was a classic Jewel. Never disappoints. I thought it was a beautiful rendition, with heart & soul.
I was at that race and absolutely loved her rendition of The National Anthem! It's one of the best ones, in my opinion.

God bless you, seeing all that. America needed her to sing it again
If Jewel makes that a single, I will buy it.
I was there. Never heard of her before this and it’s by far the best performance of it I’ve heard
Best version I've ever heard. Hands down.
I thought she sung the National Anthem with emotion. There have been many different renditions. I think she did a fantastic job.
This is what the fuss is all about? Just watched it for the first time. Haha. I though it was great. The National anthem with a little southern sauce on it. Respect.

Same 👍 ...Beautiful!!

It made me well up with pride through its genuine emotion and authentic love of Country! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤❤❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
This is Jewel she has haf this style since the 1990s, how did you think she was going yo sound? Not to mention you fo hear applause most liked it.
Shame on you people who hate you could not do it i think it was awesome great job sweetheart ❤️
She sounds amazing
I thought it was just beautiful! All I could think about was do you want Roseanne instead! Just beautiful!
.... LOL. Give me Jewel.
Ouch. She sang her style. If Indy folk don't understand that...play a record. She did fine in my opinion.
You're deaf apparently 🙉
👋 Thank you!!! 👋

Yup liked it, people need to chill
That was good, the words are there, the meaning is there and her vision is her vision. Liked it. People are 😂
@@cindygray7358 And you're a DORK🥴
If they heard the songs that she sings than they would know that that is her type of songing
I think she did a great job. It was different and also seemed to be heartfelt. Where are people getting it was disrespectful? Good version of a awesome song. I like it. Thanks Jewel.

What a voice❤
Loved this beautiful version. 💯❤️🇺🇲
She equaled her earlier performance and then went far above............................
Beautiful!
She sang this like Jewel sing
Great job!!!!
I like this just fine. I don't understand why people are getting butt hurt over this.
No into her redoing the guitar music but it is still moving I'm 😢 . God bless America
Just beautiful, Jewel. I’ve always loved your music.
She was fabulous! Beautiful rendition. The haters need to pipe down.
nice jewel singing the star spangled banner at the indy 500 !!!
Almost as good as Jimi Hendrix's version. That's the Gold Standard for a powerful non-traditional version.
I thought that was beautiful.
She made our National Anthem sound like Jewel. ❤ I don’t understand the hate. I thought it was gorgeous and just original enough.
Would you take the flag and make the stripes vertical and put the blue square in the opposite corner? Just original enough right? As a musician/singer I was always told when doing a cover to "make it yours". And I agree with that 99.9% of the time.

Beautiful
Everyone else: “omg, Jewel totally disrespected the National Anthem! 🤬”
Me: “Omg, Jewel’s not playing a Taylor guitar! 😮”
Very funny Chris.... Jewel shone on us with that performance, guitar excepted
Very nice. Why the fuss?
Some far-right person on Twitter whined about Jewel's version, calling it "woke" (what?) so a bunch of their cronies are melting down across multiple platforms. They never noticed when she did the exact same thing at the NBA All-Star game. I guess their sort doesn't watch basketball.
She killed it!!!
Maybe people are bitching because she got to keep her hat on?
When I was younger, I would listen to her lullabies on my radio
YOU Lucky Cat ............
The military present arm in the background of her starting gets me every time
Man I can’t believe she’s getting any shit for that. Well done Jewel, and I don’t even like her but the criticism is ridiculous. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
She’s amazing! I’m her own category!
Best version I have heard
Beautiful❤❤
Stunning rendition!
I like it. Really
Beautiful 💗
It's not a bad version, I love her singing and I understand how she does it, I love it infact those critics must not have seen her NBA All Star Game performance, she also sang and played guitar there also!
Wonderful. Jewel 💘
Hello jewel ❤❤
Awesome!
Ya did good Jewel
Every one who matters....(indy people)...knew she was going to do this.
So who u mad at!
it wasn't great, i'm mostly disappointed there were so few people with hands on their hearts
It was fine not sure what all the negative comments are a about
Great job!
awesome song, great job
You've got to be kidding or deaf💆🏻♂️🙉
Jimi Hendrix still had the best version...... definitely tongue-in-cheek with a distinct "message" what with the false flag started Vietnam War
Which was best? Whitney Houston or Jewel?
She did a beautiful job.
I THOUGHT IT WAS AWSOME! a few out of tne moments, but nonethe less, ok.
It was a beautiful version but unfortunately folks would rather be able to sing along , they are not looking for a personalized version.
OMG. Just sing the song as it was written. Every dog in town came out and howled. What a disaster!
My dogs too🐕
Well said
🙄 *Okay* , jim's pal 🙄 You people are so ridiculous. Get a life.
It was written as a poem, not as a song. What she did was fine.
@@th5036 🐶🐩🐕🦺🦮🐕
No one has done the National Anthem like Chris Stapleton. He has my vote!
Copyright was invented in 1700s we never had to pay u for ww2
Why did she leave her hat on and not ding the National Anthem?
That is ok for women to keep their hat on but men are supposed to take it off.
🙄 oh *god* 🙄
How so very old-fashioned of you 🙈 What do you do when someone remains seated, or (god FORBID!!!), kneels during the national anthem??? 😆 Get with the times 🙄, *who CARES* about her having a fricking hat on while singing a song???

As a fellow Alaskan I have to say she butchered the song, but did so in her style. So I guess you truly get what you pay for.
1$ sounds right💰

Ummmm... after considerable consideration: yikes.
Yup😹
"Considerable consideration" about *WHAT* exactly??? 🤨 You had to think *that LONG* about it??? 🤨
There is absolutely *nothing* wrong with the performance 🤷 She might have been off tune a time or two, but if anyone has been to a concert, then they would know that happens at live performances 🤷 It was just another interpretation of the american anthem, no big deal, i have heard much worse..... *many* times before.

Pretty awful. Plus did she not hear the announcer say, “Remove your hats”?
Apparently she's part deaf🙉
😂 OmG, *WHO tF* cares!?!? 😂 Like *seriously* !? Do you people not have *real* issues in life to worry about?? It must be nice to have the time and energy to bitch&moan&complain about such petty&irrelevant things. Republicans by any chance?? 🧐😆🙈

So there you go, you can move on with your lives' 😆
P.s. I found that @ettiquetschoolofamerica, in two minutes. Google is your friend, you should try it out sometime.
Horrible
Yup💩
Wish these singers would realize this song is NOT about them. Stop trying to stand out or reimagine our National Anthem.
😂 What a *ridiculous* comment 😂 HOW *BORING* would it be if *every* performer sang the *exact same* version, *ALL* these years!?! 🙄🙈
Let me guess......Republican? 🧐😆 Get outta here.
You ruined it by slowing it down.
That REALLY sucks!
Yuup🙉
Finally a white singer.
Maybe they should have hired one that could actually sing.
Chris Stapleton is white
@@mikerand7285 he is so amazing and salt.of the earth
Who can't sing worth a damn🎶
So all those drivers from other countries....guess they should sit on couch with u.
That was not a "Jewel"of a performance.
Sounds like a dying cow. 😮
Good grief....WHY???? ISNT YOUR SONG TO DO THIS TO!!!!!!😖🥴
She made it way to personal. So personalized to her that no American could sing along with her. And in my opinion, she has really lost her touch. Some of those notes were horrible.
I couldn't bail out fast enough.
Nope, didn't like it. That song is not meant to be sung other than the original...Whitney Houston was the best ever!!!
BOOOO BOOOO HISS HISSSSSS
Should have invited Lady Gaga she did a great job at the inauguration. This woman cannot even sing, period.
Oooof
