Queen did an amazing job. So did my Choir and our Artistic Director. I'm sorry you didn’t enjoy it! It's impossible to please everyone. Thank you to everyone that recieved it. We were grateful to be there and to share that historical moment.
She does NOT butcher the National Anthem. As a Viernam Vet, and a patriot, I congratule her for risking it to do the National Anthem at all in such a critical era! While it is not a version which I am familiar with, it was delivered with patriotic sincerity. To me, that's what counts. Love you Queen!
She sounded good, most people don't know that she sings jazz, so her voice is more on a smooth note rather than bombastic and loud. She sang it straight with little add lib to it. She played it safe and let the Choir do the high notes. Well done Queen L.
Am from the future; Specifically Mon Sept 11th 2023 and Queen Latifah sang the anthem again at a Giants/ Cowboys game. But it didnt sound smooth like this!😅
She did a masterful job. How ever after taking a deep dive into the history of the song, I will never stand or salute the Star Spangled Banner ever again. Here's the 3rd stanza of the song "And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave" As it boast of killing slaves for fighting against their captures. And this is the national anthem. Not mine..
Agreed! I came looking for the 2022 tennis match that she sang the national anthem for, and I came upon this. I figured the title must be click bait cause every thing she’s done has been amazing. This was amazing too. Wonderful refreshing arrangement! Loved it!
Great arrangement! I enjoy hearing new and interesting arrangements for our national anthem. I always loved Marvin Gaye's version from the 83 NBA All star game. To me, it's the all time best.
She didn’t butcher the song. She did a terrific rendition of our national anthem and she did a fantastic job of upgrading it to a modern music style. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. 👍👍
People need to realize that her specialty is rap. She's not known for her golden pipes. People need to stop being so critical. You know musicians are People, too, right?
Best, smoothest version I've ever heard. I was buzzing that night over this. Never gets old. Supplanted the 1985 version by Huey Lewis and News @San Francisco Giants game as my new favorite.
I did not like this rendition when I heard it live all those years ago…came back to it after hearing Ingrid Andress’ rendition…and I gotta say this sounds amazing now.
well its subjective... so my opinion in my opinion. If you like this version then ... Enjoy ! The arrangement sucks (which i know she had no control over) ... and she has pitch issues ..
She did a really good job on this, but I could swear instead of saying "gallantly" she said something like "gavagely". I went back and listened again on my DVR and this is what it sounds like to me. Anyone else?
I'm sorry but she DID NOT butcher it. it was simply a different rendition and she gave her best and her full heart you could see she was enjoying singing the nations anthem.
If you want more views for this video I would change the title. More people would find it and enjoy it. I loved this video. She did a great job, and it's the first time I've seen it! I think you'd be doing a service to more people finding and enjoying it if you changed the title. How many national anthems have a different sound like this? So great.
All these years later and I still love listening to Queen Latifa sing this song! I don’t like the Star Spangle Banner in general, but absolutely love her version of this song! Great job, Latifa!
She's a rapper, of course she was out of her element. She can't do what an R&B artist can do, good thing she took the big stage and did not turn down doing the national anthem. Intimadation don't live here, go girl!
Have you ever heard Queen Latifah’s voice? She’s got an amazingly powerful voice - I saw her in LA a couple years ago - with incredible rich tone. It’s obvious she couldn’t hear the music properly; that’s why she had a false start. Have you ever tried to hear yourself think in a crowded stadium, with big band as well? The noise can be overbearing and it can overpower the ear piece. A few of Queen Latifah’s stadium performances, she removes her ear piece because she can’t hear it properly; it hinders more than helps. If you’d heard Queen really sing, you know she can beat out a song. Her talent really is faultless. Blame it on the sound engineers, not on her.
I loved it. Queen Latifah, the Choir and the up tempo was outstanding❤
That was awesome. I love the spin that she put on it!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

She did phenomenal as she always does... just really jealous this one!!
Wow! Incredible rendition, makes me even prouder to be an American!! Even the players look like they were getting into it…
The Best since Whitney. This had feeling and meaning!
Different? Sure. Butchery? Hardly.

Great job Queen Latifah. Whitney still is #1 in singing the National Anthem the best.
I wasn't expecting that title actually I saw on the internet that the fans absolutely loved it, and I thought it was very good as well
She did amazing. As usual
You must put this title to get views because I absolutely love this !!!!!
Butchered like a badass butcher cuts up some thick ass ribeyes
QUEEN DIDNT BUTCHER NOT ONE DARN THING I LOVE❤ THIS RENDITION SHES AMAZING WE LOVE YOU QUEEN
Thought she did a great job! Really like the choir behind her
Thank you from a choir member ❤😊
She didn't butcher this at all. This was her version and she did great
Am from the future;
Specifically Mon Sept 11th 2023 and Queen Latifah sang the anthem again at a Giants/ Cowboys game.
But it didnt sound smooth like this!😅
Great job. Whoever said she butchered the song doesn't understand music and it's out of their mind
2023 was awesome t👀😘💗💞💐🙏🏾😉🤙🏽🙌🏽
This was a nice rendition very 👍 good
Tasteful, appropriate and respectful of country
Omg It was a magnificent performance. Sent chills whoever penned the title should be ashamed. God bless America!
NEW JERSEY'S OWN Queen Latifah !

This was amazing! She stayed within her voice range and the choir did the rest. Great job. Great arrangement!!!👏👏👏
Wow beautifully done….
She did a powerful and respectful rendition. She is fabulous and pretty good looking too.
She did her thing!
I'm the author of this arrangement, so I think it was great! Different, culturally sound, and great!
You are amazing!!!! Thanks for your smooth beautiful arrangement!!!

AWESOME!!!
Great arrangement. And I really like how she sang it.👏👏👏
She did a fabulous job of updating the National Anthem. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! It needed the dust blown off of it.
😂❤
My girlfriend asked me why I can't stand Queen Latifah. It started with this garbage rendition of the National Anthem. 🤮
She didn’t butcher the song. She did a terrific rendition of our national anthem and she did a fantastic job of upgrading it to a modern music style. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. 👍👍
I LOVED IT
People need to realize that her specialty is rap. She's not known for her golden pipes. People need to stop being so critical. You know musicians are People, too, right?
Sung like a True American. #FKYALLHATERS
Best, smoothest version I've ever heard. I was buzzing that night over this. Never gets old.
Supplanted the 1985 version by Huey Lewis and News @San Francisco Giants game as my new favorite.
You must haven't heard Al Greens rendition.. that's a Smooth mammajamma there
Good job!! 👏🥰👑🙏💯
The best one is when Whitney Houston sung it. She made you feel every word in your body.Gone but never ever ever forgotton❤
Well first thought was that they should get her to put out a group of her version of it it really grabbed my ear so 😊
That song is super tough to sing well. She did her own spin on it and really did a nice job.
She did her thing just because it had a beat doesn't mean it was butchered she did great
Nice
“Butcher” is a strong word. She sounded great, I didn’t mind the beat but I do love the original
Abbsolutely beautiful!!
I did not like this rendition when I heard it live all those years ago…came back to it after hearing Ingrid Andress’ rendition…and I gotta say this sounds amazing now.
Sounds good to me 😊
She did a great job!
Different musical arrangement...12 years ago. Get over it
I guess Butcher now means magnificent
I keep coming back to watch this. Miss you, grandma!
it's always some idiots hiding under fake acount lets hear you sing it.
well its subjective... so my opinion in my opinion. If you like this version then ... Enjoy ! The arrangement sucks (which i know she had no control over) ... and she has pitch issues ..
Wonderful version Queen!!❤️
I think she did a great job. :)
Me toooo
me too
Loved it!
It was fantastic!
AWESOME QUEEN!!!!!!!!
Cool 😎
I liked it
First time hearing this and they killed this...I love this !!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!! SMH!!! QUEEN LATIFAH WAS AWESOME!!!
What an awesome rendition of our National Anthem! 🇺🇸
She did a great job singing the song; NOT an easy song to sing.
and she was Beautiful!!!'
CLEARLY, the "heading" was strictly for clicks.
And it DID WORK. Yes?
Change the title. She didnt butchered the anthem. I think she nailed it right to the letter!
It was great!
She did a really good job on this, but I could swear instead of saying "gallantly" she said something like "gavagely". I went back and listened again on my DVR and this is what it sounds like to me. Anyone else?
She said "gallantly". She just enunciated it very well.... she did a great job!
It’s a song. She did the song, and it was beautifully done. Either way she did it , it was meant for the same thing.
I think she did a great job
The fct people didn’t knw she can sing is crazy
I'm sorry but she DID NOT butcher it. it was simply a different rendition and she gave her best and her full heart you could see she was enjoying singing the nations anthem.
If you want more views for this video I would change the title. More people would find it and enjoy it. I loved this video. She did a great job, and it's the first time I've seen it!

its my opinion... so i couldn't care less about views on a video I cant monetize... glad you watched
SHE DID AWESOME!!
She did a good job , and it needed to be updated -Dam if you do and Dam if you dont
She did a great job. Light, airy rendition. Lived it. You go. Queen. Looked good too.
I don't think she butchered it. It was GREAT!!❤❤❤❤
I was like how did she butcher that??? My grandma said she liked the way Queen Latifah sung the National Anthem. I can see why.
it's based on the version style and her pitch..
@@warmfuzzydeath she still didn’t butcher it
I like it 💪🏾🙏🏾
She did a great job! You know how black people do things, we have to add some SOUL to it!
She did not Butcher the National Anthem. People are so judgmental.
It’s not the arrangement it’s the missing notes.
Just amazing!!🇺🇸
She did a amazing job 🙂🙂🙂
That was a beautiful rendition. Butcjer???(((
Thinking of you and dad, again. Miss you guys.
All these years later and I still love listening to Queen Latifa sing this song! I don’t like the Star Spangle Banner in general, but absolutely love her version of this song! Great job, Latifa!
She hit it out of the park!
She did a great job.
Wher wad this butchered she sounded great go latifa she looks good and sounds good...that's my girl
Move over Whitney
Awesome ❤
Dude, change the subject. It was a great rendition and not all changed up like most today.
She's a rapper, of course she was out of her element. She can't do what an R&B artist can do, good thing she took the big stage and did not turn down doing the national anthem. Intimadation don't live here, go girl!
Butchers? Lol I think she did good. It’s a great non-traditional, non basic, rendition
This ws NOT NOT butchered at all!!!
You butchered the title of this video. Queen Latifah nailed it. 🎉❤
