It’s actually happened multiple times at NHL games in Canada! At least 3 times I know of, one which was only about a month ago. Those videos are definitely worth a watch as well 🙂
Me too! Other countries might think we're indoctrinated, but I just feel sorry for them, lol. I love my country and am soooo blessed to have been born here!
At all the sporting events I’ve attended over the years, everyone stands up, removes their hat if they’re wearing one and probably about half sing along. It’s pretty awesome.
A while back a Hockey team from the US was in Canada to play a hockey game. When the lady came out to sing our National Anthem before the start of the game her microphone stopped working after just a few words and one of the coolest things I have ever seen happened. The crowd full of Canadians all started to sing it for her
That was the best! Love our neighbors to the north. How many countries could pull of singing our national anthem? Only them, I'd say. I've watched that video many times. :)
The US National Anthem is about a brutal bombardment by the Royal Navy on Ft McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland in 1814. And how the flag survived as the Americans were victorious over the British. Glad we don’t fight each other anymore! 😁
@@chriswhite4999 Oh, that is unfortunate if they reacted to "The National Anthem as You’ve Never Heard It”. It is apocryphal, and many UA-cam reactors have been fooled by it.
The US national anthem can be performed controversially. Many artists tend to their spin on it and sometimes it comes out less than reverent. I prefer it simple and straight forward. It is not the easiest to sing as it covers a rather large range.
The song was written about the American flag. I think it's just wrong when people try to make it about their singing (or attempts at) rather than the song as it was written. There are countless other songs they can ruin - just leave the National Anthem alone.
We would have stood, but not everyone would have sung - out of respect for the singer's performance. But if something goes wrong, such as a mic fail, everyone will sing, usually.
I'm really glad I found your channel. It's really interesting to hear how people from other countries see us and what the differences are between the US and the UK. I've watched a handful of your videos so far and I've learned a lot. The US is a very diverse country. Not even just as a country but State by State. Keep up the good work!
That was because Rene (the singer) was having trouble not sobbing, though, so he just guided the crowd. It was the day after the Boston Marathon bombings and the first sports event since that lockdown taking place in Boston's arena. Still amazing to watch.
This happened at the US Olympic swim trials, held in Omaha, Nebraska (where I live). And yes, it's not normally a swimming pool. They converted a standard arena and built a pool temporarily just for the swim trials.
The Kentucky all state choir is a really good watch at that hotel in Louisville before the competition. Hundreds of students. They do My Old Kentucky Home as well.
It is a regular arena; the pool was brought in for the US Olympic team swim trials. After the trials were done the pool was moved out. It is in Omaha, Nebraska.
I don’t know of any swimming pools turned into the basketball courts. But there are ice-skating rinks turned at the basketball courts. Incidentally, I went swimming in a pool and the 35th floor of a building. I couldn’t believe how deep it was.🤣😂🤣😂 “ Stephen Wright “
Looks like there was technical issues with the singer and the audience helped out. I have seen this happen on occasion. At a baseball game the microphone cut out and everyone sang and I cried. It's a hard song to sing for average person. Most people prefer American the Beautiful. Often times both are sung. Believe it not these facilities are designated. Not very often are they doubling for something else. Especially swimming pools.
That was beautiful. People always swear that they can't sing (mostly embarrassment, and i don't know why) but when a situation like this arises, it is always so beautiful. So, are there films of Aidan the swimmer? If so, why not do a reaction to those. I expect your audience would find that fun. Peace
Hockey ice always has to go on the bottom because the ice is made by circulating extremely cold fluid in pipes through a concrete slab. For basketball games the wood panels are just fitted over the ice and the surrounding glass and boards are removed. Nothing can really go over it because the concrete slab can't be in pieces and has to be present and accessible.
Is swimming big in America? I'd say everyone here knows the name Michael Phelps, and there are so many other amazing swimmers. Katie Ledecky, Ryan Lochte, Simone Manuel, and those are just my generation. I've heard a lot about Mark Spitz being an inspiration to swimmers. It's huge in many parts of the US. We love anything competitive, although, I wish we were more into rugby and a few other missed opportunities. 😉
That's what separates us from other country's. At this point in time we may be the most dysfunctional lot the world has ever seen but don't mess with us. Looking at you KGB boy.
Thank you for your videos. I also watch your Dad and the guys on the OB channel. Truly enjoy and appreciate your perspective on aspects of American life, especially since you all lived in the States. **Humble suggestion: I wouldn't interrupt or talk over the National Anthem. Cheers from North Carolina !
I'm 67 married to a retired military man. We are very patriotic over here in THE USA! I've flown an AMERICAN Flag at our home all my adult life! It's nothing to drive thru a neighborhood and see AMERICAN flags flying!!!

Actually, if you sing the entire song it does not end with a question. "Then conquer we must When our cause, it is just. And Thus be our motto 'In God is our trust' And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

This microphone failure also happened at a hockey game in Canada sometime ago and the Canadians sang our National Anthem without a hitch.

That was really cool but it was kind of awkward because the vast majority of Americans don’t know the words to Canada’s National Anthem
wait doesn't canida have an anthem or am I just being stupid if they do wouldn't it make more sense to sing there own anthem.
A an American I am so proud of my fellow Americans singing the national anthem with so much pride and joy. Awesome upload.

The march-on song by the bagpiper's was "America The Beautiful."
We always stand for our national anthem.
Americans do. Those that don't are NOT American.
I whistle America the Beautiful and the Signal Corps March song at work every day.

You don't have to sing. But you do stand up and take your hat off. That's about it.
Anytime the national anthem plays, I sing along.. But softly. Many people do as well. But when something like this happens, they all sing louder.

It also happened at a Boston Bruins game.. that one was incredible

Shockingly enough, they can actually create a temporary pool for massive swimming events like this.
You might like "Toronto Maple Leafs fans finish singing US anthem after technical difficulties" it was a good one with are northern friends singing
This happened at the US Olympic swim trials, held in Omaha, Nebraska (where I live).
And yes, it's not normally a swimming pool. They converted a standard arena and built a pool temporarily just for the swim trials.

Usually after “land of the free” half the crowd or more go “wooo” if the singer goes off
It is a regular arena; the pool was brought in for the US Olympic team swim trials. After the trials were done the pool was moved out. It is in Omaha, Nebraska.
Thank you for sharing.. I now have a little more hope for my country, while it dissolves in front of my eyes.
I get goosebumps everytime I hear the National Anthem.

The pool is permanent the floors slide over
This was the national teams main even of the year, they set up a temporary pool on top of a standard NBA/NHL arena floor.
You should see the Natatorium at IUPUI in Indianapolis. It is huge! All the colleges & Universities National finals are held here.
We stand for the heroes who died in war for our country

Doing a double Gaynor onto the Sophie, Aidan that's a bad swim joke.
You can actually build a pool in an arena only to be taken down a few days later. You don’t need an existing pool. Isn’t tech and engineering great?
You would not believe how fast they build these pools for this. It's just a regular stadium that they convert.
That was beautiful. People always swear that they can't sing (mostly embarrassment, and i don't know why) but when a situation like this arises, it is always so beautiful.

its America. We have Jumbotrons everywhere.
The bag pipes in the introduction should bother the English, we are overly fond of our Scottish, Irish and Welsh ;-)
It took place in my hometown of Omaha Nebraska at the US Olympic Swim trials. Omaha is emblazoned on the ends of the pool.
Gives me goosebumps. 🇺🇸
The Bagpipes are playing America the Beautiful

No.

That first song is called America and isnt the National Anthem.

What is it with UA-camrs constantly interrupting songs? NEVER NEVER NEVER interrupt a song!
They have to because of copyright infringement.
Also they give their input along the way so they can give respect to the song if you just want to hear the song go look up the song
