• US National Anthem by ...
A rare case of the Star Spangled Banner sung correctly.
+sciedpower so true
Last time I went to the Atlanta dome, I got to see a high school/college band play the star spangled banner (forgot who sung it). It was the closest thing i could compare to this masterpiece
Most of the times it's sung at an event there is a large "cringe factor" involved.
“Original” Star Spangled Banner doesn’t involve runs that last for 5 seconds
It should be sang in harmony, just like that. Instead of simply being sang by one person. Being sang by those who are part of our future military service is even better. It represents honor to our country. Not just simple fame for being a music artist.
I'd rather hear these honorable men and women perform our anthem any day over a pop star. The melody doesn't need to be changed, its perfect how it was originally written.
how pop stars sing it: "O SAY DUZ THAAAAAAAAT STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR SPAAAANGLD BAAAAAH NAAAAR YE EEET WAAAAAAAAAY AAAAY AY AAAAYVE, OER THE LAAAND A AV THE FREEEEE EE EEE!!!!!!!!1 AND THE HOOOOMEEE OOOOOOOOF THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BUH RAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *SCREAM!"
My thoughts exactly person with a Stalin portrait.

"Why the Star Spangled Banner is horrible"

@Alejanddro Hernandi big oof
I miss being this united as a country
Wait for TRUMP 2024 WWG1WGA MAGA
Still love this country to death
“miss being united”
man, i live in the middle east. my country was never even united.
i wonder what “being united as a nation” feels like…
Wish they did this every Super Bowl
Yes Very Nice.
I'm not even from America, but even I can recognize the beauty of this country. Greatest anthem on Earth, greetings from Russia.
+god Really?
Russian anthem is the best for me and I'm American.
+JPMorganSuckBigBalls agreed
+god wow god is russian
I don't know, Russia's national anthem is pretty good, too. :P
As an American citizen, I appreciate my Slavic heritage from Russia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Russia and US would be very good allies. I just know it
As a Brit can I just say that kind of patriotism is awe inspiring.
Yes you may say that and thank you!
At one point that patriotism put us on your county’s 💩 list
After serving in Vietnam, I came back home wounded, but unbowed. I was invited to sit above the third base dugout at Wrigley Field, and honored to sing the National Anthem, that day. Note that I was formerly a member of the chorus of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Still in uniform, I limped out, used my voice for what it was meant for, and sang the anthem, and the crowd came unglued. Literally, it was the best day of my life. And the Cubs won, that day!
Thank you for serving, Stefan, and for using your beautiful gift to bless so many people that day!~ I'm glad it came right back at you... ;)
Mr. Ritter, I will say what a woman said to me, "Thank you for keeping us safe and coming home". Vietnam 72-74, but when I was younger, I was an Andy Frain Usher. Many happy memories working at Wrigley.
You really fought to keep people free, and you are truly brave.
Sir, that is beautiful. Thank you for protecting this country for all of us.
Thank you sir for your service and protecting this beautiful country!
We need to go back to these ways!
God bless America! from South Korea
Thank you, friend from abroad!
From an Englishmen. I am proud to call you yanks our allies! Long live the queen and of course, God bless America
+Robin Hood I like your name (I'm from Nottingham) xD
+Tom Hallam Some ancient records still found in England refer to a "robber in hood" I believe is the translation. OH ! How I LOVE watching Time Team ! ! !
+Renegade so what country you came from
+Renegade The exact reason I came to see this video was to see what other people from other countries had to say :) Three comments in and I've received more positivity from a UA-cam comments section than I have ever seen before.
+Renegade, We Yanks are proud to call Mother Britain our ally. May God Bless America and also, May God Save the Queen .
I am Canadian, I love the ideals for which your country stands, and is the single greatest example of in human history. I get misty eyed every time I watch this video.
me too.
Love from Finland!
This is how it should always be at the Super Bowl. Actually preformed well and meaningly, unlike the pop stars that usually do it, overdo it, try to modernize it, and do it only for the glory and paycheck.
Couldn't agree more. Can't stand when they butcher it. It was written how it was for a reason, sing it that way.
+PaganiHuayra1 true. It's just how our culture is nowadays. It's sad but true
The military choirs sure do a good job! How it was intended to be sung. I can't stand it when pop stars or even rock stars put their own little twists on it.
I am sick of the pop stars screwing up halftime
I think, on one hand it's very American: If you make it big, you'll have the honor to sing it. But then the popstars all screw it up...
from Spain,god bless America
I'm from Poland i love america
RIP all those Americans that died today, 15 years ago, may America will always be in the forward!!!
15 years. and thank you
My apologies, I fixed it, a happy weekend to you!
Rami O Bomb you as well buddy! :)
Zacar od Zamran Thanks! ^^
You may have meant "75 years ago," but we get it. Not only at Pearl, Korea, Viet Nam and the others sites where Americans have died so needlessly.
Great anthem,Greeting from Bulgaria
This is the best performance of our National Anthem. It is sung with feeling, very moving, and this is the way it should be sung, by Americans, our military choirs..very moving.
I'm from Germany and I don't like most of the performances of the anthem at the super bowl but this one was one of the best, I love it
This was perfectly done by military branches, no pop star doing their own thing. Love you Germans
Germany has one of the most beautiful anthems, music-wise!
Happy Independence Day To The United States Of America!!!
-Regards from Israel
Rami O Bomb oy vey, friend
Ditto xD!
RESPECT FROM FRANCE !
BIG COUNTRY
VIVE LA FRANCE ET VIVE LES USA !
I wish more Americans have France the respect they deserve, greetings from the USA
A song that was written at a battle in the war of 1812, by a poet who was captured by the British navy. The poet watch as the British rained hell on the fort and the only way that he knew that the army hadn't surrendered was when the explosions lighted up the sky and reviled the United States flag still flying proud. The British bombarded the fort all night then gave up at morning. We won a battle against the most powerful navy in the world at that time. I say this is the best song for our national anthem.
It's 2021 and I will forever watch this video. This is by far in my opinion the best performance of the National Anthem.
This was an amazing performance up until the 1:37 mark... then the drums and trumpets and perfectly timed fly-over raised it exponentially and made it, by far, the best I've ever heard. I can't imagine this will ever be topped. But if it is, I hope I'm around to experience it! Well done Soldiers!
Honestly I agree. Best performance of the ssb
Respect from Great Britain!
GOD BLESS UK, HOPE YOU GUYS TAKE OUT ARGENTINA, LOL
Rafasa Arandas hey as an Argentine I find that offensive!....ah who am I kidding, put us out of our misery
As an American, thank you kindly, my British neighbor!
Asshatnowhere theturd LOL. Always good to have a little humor :)
Awwww, thank you! It was still tru you that America was born
God bless America I Am Iraqi Citizen and I Love USA
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FROM GERMANY - WE LOVE YOU UBER ALLES!
As a New Zealander I must say when I came across this video of the American anthem being sung like this it made me very happy, absolutely beautiful. Cheers from New Zealand ;P 🇺🇸🇳🇿
Cheers from an Aussie and American.
Chur bro
Brothers, That's the sound of strength, courage and justice
Even in 2019... still chokes me up.
Me too!
The quality of this video looks very decent for a video that was uploaded in 2006. I'm surprised this is not even in HD.
There's Presidents there... Tech is in the house.
And the audio too
There was a very brief period of time that they “enhanced” the imaging quality without it being technically 720p…. I remember cbs calling it something unique like presented in higher definition for one season until it was bumped to 720p broadcasting
I might be totally wrong on some of this though, just memory that’s from 15 years ago so forgive me if I’m wrong here … lol
@@KH-jx1lo Well, that sounds very interesting. Thanks for the brief explanation!
Thank you America for leading us the way out of the dirt! Love from Germany!
That statement brought a tear to my eye. I wasnt born yet but i believe the leaders at that time we happy to do it.. not really happy, but you know what i mean,, Please help us take our country back.
I had no relation to USA yet I can feel the wave of emotions through me. God bless America, from Malaysia.
Why would God (if he exists), the creator of the entire universe bless a single country which was formed in the late 18th century?
FURYCHAOS184 because good ol 'murica is not what it used to be and they need a little amen.
But you're inferring that God prefers one country over all. God is a nationalist?
FURYCHAOS184 I did not say "God Bless Only America and America Only" did I, and why am I in this arguement again lol.
I just had an objection to your statement. Nothing personal lol
When I want a reminder of what's right and honorable, this is the version. Those young men and women from the service academies and the herald trumpets and percussion - respectful yet awesome. Would rather have this at every Superbowl. Always appropriate.
Matt Scholz - This may be a huge longshot, but did you live on NAF/NPTR El Centro between 1974-1978? With your folks, Dutch and Char (Shar?), and your brothers, Fred, Mark and Greg? 🙏🏻🤞🏻
Even as a Canadian this performance has the power to bring me to tears
Lol, a year has gone by and I forgot I left this, still gets to me though
It's okay....you'll always be our little brother.
All different races singing this song together. That is what it is all about, coming together to celebrate AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE, and THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!
Bring back the choirs! Way better than the some singers!!
i am from phillipines, i thank America for saving us from japanese God bless America and Phillipines too
We love you, Philippines! 🇺🇸🇵🇭
Haha so Sarcastic, You’re Sarcastic right?
@@rovat6285 You should have paid more attention to your grandpa and his buddies than your Marxist history teacher last year.
I hope you love and preserve your freedom!
You could have been pumpin’ out Toyota’s 😆
You are welcome. i wasnt born then but i have an uncle buried in Manila and i will speak for him
Much Love and Respect from Australia . I miss NY City .
The best performance EVER . Greetz from Poland .
Men...this is so beautiful! God bless this beautiful country and all these wonderful people! Love from Austria in Europe
America. Love you guys from philippines.
14 years later Still gives me chills. I’ve watched this countless times but never realized until now that it was a joint flyover with F-22’s and F/A-18’s. Amazing
Kudos from Australia. Magnificent.
USA is not perfect. But the Americans are so patriotic. I really admire that. ..

Where did all the respect for our country go in 4 years. GOD BLESS AMERICA!! Keep praying for our country. Don't give up.
To our greatest friend.... USA.
with all love & respect from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Long live Indo- USA friendship
Respect and love friend. ❤
I am not from the US but this gives me goosebumps.
That is the best US national anthem performance ever. Did you hear the crowd go crazy after that? That was fucking awesome. I'm sick of these celebrities thy act like they care to sing the national anthem when they don't. They just do it to get paid and get more exposure. This is how the national anthem should be in any big sports event. Sung by the real Heros who fight for our country. This gives me the chills everytime.
Doug, well said. Thank you.
I'm not American but this is beautiful.
Tiberiu Marian x you Russian
Dusit theh toe No
I’m not beautiful but this is American.
I am European, I love the ideals for which your country represents and is the greatest example of human history. My eyes tarnish every time I watch this video.
We love everyone that aspires to those high ideals- and know we have many friends and partners around the world that share our values and ideals. God Bless you, Romeo!
Well that sent shivers up and down my non-American spine. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Much love from your mates down under.
+Doubting Thomas Australia or the hot chick giving me a beej under my desk?
+Doubting Thomas We love you guys!
+Doubting Thomas You too kangarooland
+Doubting Thomas Much appreciated, from an American!
Thank you guys
Speaking as a musician, this is how our National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner, should be performed - with respect and the dignity it deserves. NO pop stars "personalizing" the Anthem with their poor phrasing, "personalized" version screamed at the top of their lungs!
When the National Anthem is sung or played, it should be done "straight", as in this performance. That's what our National Anthem deserves!
Brian
Ashland, OR
Is the Sandi Patty version an exception?
Amen and AMEN!
yeah properly, by kneeling
I agree!
God bless America my dad seved in army he is in heaven now he had a military burial played taps gave me the flag it Hit me in my heart God bless America
Sure do miss this. Praying to God things come back as they were.
Yeah! that's how you sing the national anthem.
Wow - back in the day when everyone stood for the National Anthem.
Dear Americans, happy Independence Day to all of you. Much love, health and wealthy to you. Love from Bosnia and Herzegovina, particulary Bosnia.
Happy and glorious Independence Day, to the United States Of America and its people! And best of luck to your new President!!!
-From Israel.
cheers!
Cheers!!!
So much love in this Anthem. My favourite country in the whole world.
Der Ausgestossene Thanks for always staying neutral, my friend.
We Americans love Switzerland, best of luck to your small but mighty country
Thanks mate!
I visited Switzerland years back....what a beautiful , clean country. I love the Swiss people...hardworking, patriotic, noble.
Amazing. Such Patriotic unity. Soldiers, Players, and Crowd.
😢I miss that America of the 80's and 90's. Even with the LA riots and other problems. There was a strength of character and general mutual respect amongst the citizenry. God Bless America. ♥️
Great the USA... Greetings from Argentina !!
Wow! What a great performance. No social issues, politics, protests. Just respect and patriotism for this great country, how i miss this now.
As a Brit, I find this a very rousing piece of music, nice one America
"In the land of the free! And the home of the brave!"
Those last two lines are beautifully written - great melody too. One of my favourite anthems! Greetings from the UK ^_^
Key was probably a decendant of Brits, so it has UK flavour. Then of course, free from them. 🇺🇲
God Bless America and our Military
I am half german and Love America lets be Friends for ever no war again🇩🇪🇺🇸
This is really an incredible. beautiful Anthem. That's why americans are so damn patriotic, can't you see yourself putting your blood, sweat and tears for a country that has this awersome anthem?
I'm from italy and we are celebrating our 70th year of Freedom from nazifascists. THANK YOU AMERICA for saving Europe and giving us the possibility of a democratic nation. Respect to the best anthem of this world and God Bless USA.
Editing it after 7 YEARS and during Russian criminal invasion of Ukraine. USA still stand strong with the right part of the history, with Ukraine, NATO and against all the oppression of new regimes like China and Russia. Thank God for having you as allies in these grim times.
***** You don't understand history or know very much about America. The US was considered an isolationist country back then it didn't get involved in affairs clear on the other side of the world. Now that the US does in this era people still bitch about that too.
***** The U.S. was fighting on more than a couple of fronts. May have been late, but can you imagine if we didn't come at all? There were some places that were liberated only by the Americans. For all you know, he could be talking about a specific place in Italy that the Americans helped to liberate. There really should be no doubt that the US was the straw that broke the back of the Axis. We nuked the Japanese and mass invaded France and swept into Germany. Nobody is doubting Britain's involvement or Russia's. This is a video of the nation anthem of the US...is someone going to come on here a direct a thank you at the Brits in a video like this? It has nothing to do with Britain. So why would they? He/she is clearly directing it at Americans for helping. It's almost illogical to go back in time and think about what decisions were made. Shine was right, the US was an isolationist during that time...we were provoked into war. We were isolationists because we were still healing from the Great Depression and the consensus was that we wanted to remain neutral because of what happened in WWI. Our economy was geared toward peacetime. We weren't even prepared to enter the war for a while.
***** You really need to freshen up on your history mate. The US played a vital part in Europe.
+olav paulson My 2nd cousin flew out of Russia in a Russian bomber with a crew of all Russian women. He was the navigator and has many stories to tell of those days.
+Apocalypse2000 Respect and honor to Italia from the USA. A large part of our population is Italian, my great grandfather came in the 1860's from Genoa). Thank you for your kind comments but if it were not for Italian immigrants we would be a lesser USA. Thank you Italy sincerely from California
Knowing I live in the GREATEST country on earth feels really good. And we love everybody. God bless USA 🇺🇸 🗽
The Greatest Country in the History of Mankind. I owe You. Thank You. God Bless America
Outstanding anthem. Greetings and love from Germany!
I love USA
The best country in the world
+Phil Leotardo Slavery was even better, amirite? So was the war in the middle east, amirite?
(I think we should really stop judging current generations for things their ancestors did, shouldn't we?)
+Golden Bird as of Americans were the only ones used slaves, lol.
Slavery exists all over the world. USA has outlawed it publicly, but not everyone follows the law.
pasovasz are u sure
The Roman's used slaves for basically EVERYTHING
back when everybody gave respect, I miss those days
Impossible to see something like this in Germany... My greatest admiration and respect for this country and it's people!
In Germany, you have a truly beautiful anthem, though!
If only Switzerland and Italy (my countries) could be so patriotic without beeing call "racists, nationalists fulls" by europeans, and even by their own citizents.
Like other comments here, I admire USA for their patriotism. I'm not american, but this video give me goosebumps.
So true piasano my family is from Italy Both my papa and I served this great country. God Bless al
Me too. Respect from UK
Best version ever. Sung by US Nationals and not by some famous pop star. Love from Ireland.
You have a group of young men that do justice to our National Anthem they are Celtic Thunder
Who could ever give this magnificent performance a thumbs down? Shameful!
Im from India and i just randomly clicked on this video but man it really gave me goosebumps
This is one of the Best National Anthems I've ever heard played.
I've tried very hard to be a good Christian and I do not see idolatry in saluting our national flag and singing the National Anthem. I was so proud to hear this version that I cried. This is sung as it should be sung.
US anthem = goosebumps 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 love from🇸🇦
Goosebumps every time
The way this is meant to be sung. This choral arrangement is stunning!
Respect From The Netherlands
Splendid! Thank-you!
Long Live United States Of America.
Greetings, from Praia da Consolação, Portugal
Matt Perry greetings back, my Portuguese friend.
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!!
That is the way our National Anthem SHOULD BE SUNG! Leave out the Hollywood garbage, the glitter and the glitz, and just focus on singing our Anthem!
If you're an Anti-American, fine. I don't care much for your slander. But I will not stop you from talking garbage. You have the given right to do so. For brave men and women have fought to the death to ensure you this right. And that, I respect highly.
Good opinion!
God Bless America I love ❤️ the American national anthem
That was wonderful... I'll never know what it is to live in a great country.
THE BEST version? This is it! The choices: A drug-addled pop star, or young US Academy members who have committed their lives to protecting our nation.
and the Presidents putting their hands over their hearts. Beautiful look up the third verse.
+Kelly Justus It is shameful that the entire anthem isn't sung. It takes less than 5 minutes in it's origional form and tells the true, first hand story every American should know by heart.
The third verse? How about the 4th verse when it's being sun by our military choirs: "O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand between their loved homes and the war's desolation......"
Long live the United States of America! Love from Japan.
Thank you America for reviving our Democracy, contribution and not punishing us after World War 2. We will forever be your best ally.
Japan is actually my favorite country outside of my own. (USA) I have much respect for you and your country. I hope we may continue to be friends. My father worked half of his life for a joint Japanese/American company. Denso. :)
This is my favorite version by far!
Nice anthem. Thank usa for your help during ww2. France never forget. Merci mille fois.
don't forget about the First World War
+Charlitification To our fellows in France with that Rebel Spirit that Freedom was sprung from, a salute from the United States.
The United States never forget how you helped us become US. May our respective red, white and blues fly long and fly high!
We helped you in WWII, and you helped us in the American Revolutionary War. Allies help each other.
Neither will Germany! The Nazis were killing their own people! Kids, women, jews. Not only in the holocaust. Also in the "Volkssturm", where most boys of my village died at that time.
*Thank you for leading us out of the dirt, USA! It's good to be by your side!*
US troops landing in Normandy stated, “Lafayette we have returned”
This is why I love USA. The patriotism and the will to love the homeland! Hats of from Sweden!
best country, best anthem
I really wish I was american
greetings from an albanian
You’ll get some terrible health care though
Weigh your options
(Also, I know it’s two years in the future lol)
A stolen native American country and an anthem written by a British man from Scotland
Jealous aren't you?
You would be welcome. Legally. Then you can be free as an American citizen where the World hates you not based on ideology but based on jealously and respect. Odd couple but then you can become what you imagine work hard and make a great free life for you and your family and have that option to keep government out of your life. Because of last administration and the Democrats its been a struggle but we will prevail and clean that swamp. God Bless the USA
