I am an American, and I love patriotic music. I am also of English descent and I LOVE this performance. I no longer owe allegiance to the Crown (haven't for nearly 400 years), but I LOVE this performance. The Mezzo performance is a heart-stopper, and the soprano performance is outstanding. The audience is great too!
@satchmosings: people of all colours are welcome; if people of 'colour' decline to attend that's their choice, and their problem. @tigerguy2002: actually the royal navy in the 19th century did more to end slavery than any other force ... including abe lincoln and your union army, who basically played slavery as a politically expedient 'race card.'
Brittania will rule the waves again when the English people wake up and start defending their own beautiful culture and history. I cannot express how heartbreaking it is to watch your country disintegrate before our eyes... prayers and deepest wishes for your future, from across the pond. God Bless America, and GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
I assume you're referring to the riots? The riots was conducted by only the scummiest of the scum who have nothing to do with our culture such as the superb proms. It was tragic to watch the the riots but it was also heart warming to see that there where more people in the city of London who where actually clearing up afterwards. Greetings to the US :)
quite agree mate the proms is for ENGLISH people NOT SO CALLED BRITISH, these so called muslim who were BRITISH bombed our tubes buses burned poppies on rememberance sunday and got a stupid fine. RULE BRITANNIA will allways be a truly ENGLISH song. vote BNP and MAKE ENGLAND ENGLISH again
I don't think they tried to "outsing" each other. Mezzo's and Soprano's have different ranges, and project their voices differently.

I like this version. As a yank I dont know the words. The words of "Rule Britannia" at the bottom are very nice.

No, Britons never will be slaves...they just made everyone else slaves and tried to cover it up by calling it "civilizing the world".
