Carrie Underwood's National Anthem

[whitneyluv96]

amazing

[Joep77887]

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN I would like to know A (Who are you referring to) and B (Why is there the need to put it that way?) Look I completely understand what you talking about and would agree with you (There are singers that go over board with riffs and runs *as seen in* Gospel and black singing, but I think that you should be careful with the terminology that you use, because there is a lot of respect to be given to Black singers who have so influenced even the music you hear. Please just use Negro :)

[Joep77887]

The people in the back shaking the flag at 1:54 are hilarious to watch :)

[Danklin24]

The sing best rendition ever!

[jr4chargers]

Oh damn! where the fans singing with Carrie Underwood!?! 1:34

[jsteptoe36]

She did not sing it, perfectly straight, notice that little bit, at the end.

[Danklin24]

@jsteptoe36 Thats how it goes. There's a high note at the end, she did great with it 

[princessSmileyable]

When is the super ball again

[Danklin24]

@princessSmileyable haha you mean superbowl? 2 weeks away

[sharhalei25]

This is how you sing the national anthem. :)

[Bellavanella99]

Aah, back when the national anthem was sung professionally and simply.

[Angie33441]

Like if your 66,547 viewer

[Angie33441]

They should put this in VEVO because this is real music...

[dingdongshit]

Goosebumps everytime...

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

This may seem offensive, but I just love that she sang it correctly and didn't nigger it all up. Most of these black gals who sing have to screech and make weird noises when they sing it and it's just pitiful....

[UnofficialVoice]

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN: yeah, that could have been worded better...

[12zebraluv]

@UnofficialVoice i know right...

[whitneyluv96]

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN could of been better worderd but i did love this performance for that reason!

[Tbone2489]

This version Is by far the best ever performed. This is how the national anthem is supposed to sound. God bless america!

[Danklin24]

@Tbone2489 and God bless Carrie Underwood.

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

@Danklin24 Cry me a river. I'm not racist, just honest. 99% of black women who sing the national anthem are terrible at it because they are trying to be "unique", and it's awful.

[Danklin24]

@UGLYSTIKCOLIN Anyone that uses the word nigger to describe a black person is racist you racist fuck.

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

@Danklin24 anyone who uses the word 'fuck' twice in one sentence is an illiterate, childish moron who should have their skull thumped with a blunt object. Have a nice day.

[titatho]

impressive performance

[jbranstetter04]

I noticed there was no music. To me, she is the music.

[Silverbullet1222]

she hit every single note...wtf lol

[englishjumper123]

at the smithsonian i saw the old american flag that the national anthem was written after... the flag that the songwriter saw out her window....the one that was flown over fort 'something'. it was really famous.

[englishjumper123]

I WAS THERE

[Temblor65]

Love it... but you faded the video a little early. You missed the part after Carrie finishes the song. When she is looking up at the 67,000 fans who were just singing with her and cheering, you can see she is clearly "moved" and she says: WOW! (off the microphone)

[titatho]

@Temblor65

id like to see that!

[Awesomewowlover16]

0:49 - 0:53 = BEST PART XD "FreeEEEEE" (falsetto right?)

[summerdying111]

No one's ever done a better job! She sang it exactly as it was intended to be. None of that ridiculous R&B version. And she's beautiful.

[ellen3t]

We love you Carrie, go get them girl ! :)

[jeniusizzy]

I LOVE HER HEAD VOICE,,,

Full, Soft, Thick, And SOoooo Makes me Addicted ^_^

[MultiJustin84]

She is an amazing singer

And shes fuckinn hottt!!;)))

[TheRessa95]

Pia Toscano sings this better PIA FTW.

[nayners]

Fantastic. Other singers, take note. When it comes to the National Anthem just sing it, full voice, not trills, nothing extra. It shines on its own without that stuff!

[TeddyMear]

This is by far the best rendition of our National Anthem!! It is the "original version". Love It!! 5 STARS

[BBBYpsi]

Best superbowl national anthem ever. For those who think it was Whitney Houston I would not rank that one in top 10 because she was lypsyncing to a pre-recorded version of it. Yes that is right whitney did not do it live like carrie did.

[MegaViral123]

GO SEAHAWKS oh yeah who was that hot blonde

[FalseSheperd]

I am not an american. But I can tell this version is damn good. She sang it the way it should be. Genuine.

[laurie9845]

She nailed it. I love this version. When she sings it, she sounds and looks like she means it.

[ktaurus]

my absolute favorite version of the national anthem

[totalfoci]

The best National Anthem "performance" I EVER heard.

[totalfoci]

The best National Anthem "performance" I EVER heard.

[shimmer32]

Does anybody know what note she is starting on? Thanks!

[jceaser5693]

Holly crap that was freakin awesome she is such a talented person I would love to sing with that buitiful and outstanding voice I don't know how she does it!!! I LOVE YOU CARRIE!!!!¡¡¡¡

[notta3d]

Wow. The way it was meant to be sung.

[GirlyBuddy]

The very best LIVE, vocal performance of the national anthem! Whitney was voted #1 but her version was pre-recorded. Carrie never ceases to impress or amaze me with her talent, beauty and genuine character. Simply amazing!!!

[bobthwart1]

An exceptional talent bringing an exceptional song that is so connected to so many to a fruition that it obviously effects many beyond what they expect and obviously effects many beyond what the singer expects!!!!!!

[perlonu777]

This was voted by Billboard as the 3rd best version of the National Anthem ever.

1. Whitney Houston

2. Jimi Hendrix

3. Carrie Underwood

4. Marvin Gaye

5. Beyonce

WHOO! Go Carrie! :)

[semperfi6212]

i think the stadium started singing to

[fiddleDdee]

Billboard just named this Carrie rendition as one of the Top Five National Anthems in the land - 1 Whitney Houston  2Jimmi Hendrix 3 Carrie Underwood 4Marvin Gaye and 5 Beyonce

[HockeyFights1890]

why is the cop holding a canadian flag ?

[MiSzManDyPanDy]

@HockeyFights1890 it cut off a couple other flags too...it had the american flag, canadian flag and a few other flags...i dunno why tho!!

God Bless the Usa_

[TeenageMuse]

@HockeyFights1890 I tried to justify it..and I couldn't :S

Probably a lot of Canadians at the game??

[msUniverse4lyf]

the most beautiful rendition ever!!!

wow!!

[xcarobellex]

she did AMAZING! except the last note is a litte off...

[care4country]

@xcarobellex the last note wasn't off.

[ExKyo08]

is this from the NFC Championship game?

[aclpicks]

She rocked it

[duchovny2]

gymguy, you my friend are a FUCKTARD!

[nikkokenji]

kandou shimashita!

[gymguy030]

OK I know this is not going to be popular with you underwood lovers..but this was not her best. I know Carrie can sing..but she was off here. This would have been better with music. She was all over the place with it. sharp a lot, over shot where she didn't need to..a bit of a mess if I am being honest.

[MiSzManDyPanDy]

@gymguy030 Millions of other people beg to differ..but i guess some people can be tone deaf aka hard of hearing..idkk..god bless the usa

[spaciousgalaxy]

Absolutely beautiful and flawless! This performance is way better than her Superbowl one!! I don't understand why she went downhill, but she did.

[kitkatkewl]

I think that she did the "land of the free" part very very beautiful! Well, I thought all of it was very very beautiful, but that was my favorite part!

[dsscam]

She's FINALLY getting to sing it at the SUPER BOWL! She truly does have the greatest singing voice of all time-- beautiful inside and out...I love her!

[kctexan]

Now THIS is how you sing the National Anthem!!! No runs, no trills, no frills ... just sing the song. Amazing!!!

[2011MrMusic]

I have to say that she did a fantastic job on the song but when she got the the high part she went kinda sharp "land of the free"

[MrMusicaddict91]

just amazing!!

[paulinotou]

this is the best version i heard. great anthem

[PCDizzle15]

She Owns it!!!!!!!!!

[Horse1888]

It's beautiful because she has a beautiful voice. But more than that, she sings it with the pure hearted patriotism of a girl raised on a farm in Oklahoma. It's anointed. God Bless America!!!

[kristin639]

simply perfect and i'm glad that carrie didnt add other things to the anthem like others do, it's like they're having a concert or something, they just make it longer and wayy more complicated than it should be and carrie just sang it perfectly!!!!

[UnofficialVoice]

hahaha...

Sounds to me like you're a little tonally challenged yourself. The professionals who work with her, the record labels, and the millions of fans must all be wrong.

Training should help you overcome your disablity.

Good luck.

[glopeaceout]

@UnofficialVoice shut up at least shes better than u lol shut up shes awsome, :)

[anapodogamwto]

@UnofficialVoice oh and by the way,since you made sure that my ancient comment is up first so that all bimbos can go bitching until the end of time, I am not tonally challenged, I work professionally as a music composer and, when it comes to the subject, I do understand probably more than you ever will. I don't know if your eyes fiil up with tears every time you hear your anthem, it's your right since it is after all your national anthem. Strictly musically speaking though, this version is poor.

[RainHNg]

@anapodogamwto lol...u can't compare this live version with the Whitney's pre-record version...

Since u didn know that, LOLZ @ yr professionalism

[Awesomewowlover16]

@anapodogamwto You're effin crazy!! Yet, sadly, that fact doesn't take away your right of opinion. Carrie Underwood's version of the National Anthem is definitely one of the best (if not THE best), and that's MY opinion. I'm not gonna say you're tone deaf or anything cause that really wouldn't prove a thing, but you seriously need to broaden your hearing capability if you think this performance of the National Anthem is poor. But all incredulity aside, why don't you like Carrie's version??

[JesusLizo594]

That's too bad you think that.

Your probably the only one who thinks

negatively about this.

[pierredubord]

That’s how its done Christina, take notes you vacuous bimbo.

[cheerleader1712]

@anapodogamwto how could u sayy that can you sing better than her ! she is too good for u !!!!

[anapodogamwto]

@cheerleader1712 what??? did I say that? where did you see that anyway? I just said her voice is flat. I mean now seriously, it can't be even compared to other versions like the Whitney Houston one. I'm not a hater or anything, I was expressing my opinion. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

[cheerleader1712]

@anapodogamwto how could u sayy that can you sing better than her ! she is too good for u !!!! shes amazing

[53497678]

Carrie did a perfect job

[lunia123]

absolutely THE BEST rendition of the anthem. Why all the other singers add those retarded notes to butcher the song is beyond me.

[DCProductions77]

i could probably hear that outside the stadium. one of the best ive heard!

[copperhead29]

I so agree with you about all the runs and oohhs and things other artist's put in the song. It is our National Anthem, sing it with respect, no butchering should be allowed

[x0PatrickLover0x]

I think they get so into the song they just can't help it...it is a very touching song after all.

[s0012823]

I'm not an American but Dutch, I'm proud that our greatgreatgreatfathers founded the Dutch colony Nieuw Amsterdam => New Amsterdam => New York. Too bad we switched it for Suriname. But still a lot of Dutch influences in New York!!! I love the USA!

[cufanalways]

perfect perfect perfect!!!

[buraktigin]

this makes me soo proud to be an american

[buraktigin]

ii have nothin to say but she is great

[buraktigin]

no other song no other artisthasgraced the flag and song like her... period... im sorry

[michaelandtho]

Spot on! None of that bullshitty "throughouhgogughogouoh the niiieieieiyieieiiiight" that almost every other singer feels is necessary. You can sustain some of the notes, but don't change the notes themselves. Good for her!

[SKM6700]

This is the best ive heard :) You guys remember Manuel Romero from americas got talent? try searching his name with the national anthem and have a listen, i think he just might could match this beautifull rendition

[madhi8]

She done better than roseanne lol!!!!

[BrickChick90]

Perfect! Pure and Passionate without all the extra trills and fluffy junk. I knew there was a reason I liked her.

[izzyanddennyfan]

how the National Anthem should be sung!!!!!

[dilloncr]

Thats right before the Hawks spanked that ass>>>

[s3ah4wkfan83]

listen to the seahawks fans yelling and screaming at times throughout the song, greatest fans on the planet. go hawks

[DRisLegend200919]

best reniditon love carrie

[r1r2r2]

Gid, this is the best National athem ever sang with perfect high notes

[babyphattia]

she did the same notes and every thing as my first cousin julie look it up it would b julie peters singing the star spangeled banner and it is the one were she is n the room if shee was out of the corner it would have been better tho

[trdj85]

id like to shower with her

[carloh011]

1:51 i thought that she puked {free'''eeee}

but the iknow its the tyle i was shock!! but i watch more of this national anthem then i see ...so thnx

[Rallew123]

you thought she puked? ur probobly very stupid :(

[carloh011]

no i am not!!!! i dont know about your national anthem....... but i reallly reallly know CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! sorry no offend...

[oneofathree]

Absolutely phenomenal.

[warpath1488]

Fuck man... Chills big time...

Beautifully done.

[misspixieann]

I liked demi

[Hellcome2play]

God she's amazing!

[lisabudin]

I love her shes awesome and yes it is sung beautifully by her....great..

[Swagnerd]

She sang it like it should ben sung. And that makes her singing this song better than any other artist. Everybody is singing it with strange vocals, like jordin spraks, kelly clarkson, faith hill etc. Carrie could have done that, but she didn't en she hit all the right notes. And it's a very difficult song to sing. I always sing it when I'm taking a shower, but I haven't hit one good note so far, and i think it's horrible :P

[alskdfjlksdf]

she is amazing. not only i think so, listen to the crowd. look at theh players and coaches. she created a huge impact. it brought tears to people's eyes. very VERY well sung.

[valnaduljina]

Love it!! Beautiful!

[pandagirl1983]

Sensational job Carrie!!

[shinjee386]

the funny thing about this vid was the people at her back waving the flag all the time .lol

well anyways, carrie's the best. I just loved her the moment she auditioned on AI<

The best REnDITION ever

[stromgald30]

Certainly not as many runs or fancy stuff compared to most other artists. It's not as impressive vocally, but to be honest, it's how the anthem should be sung. Clean, simple, and with clear emotion.

[musicforeverxo]

stromgald I agree, though I do think it was very well sung, vocally. But this IS how it should be sung; none of that fancy, over the top crap. put this to music and it would be gold.

[alskdfjlksdf]

are u kidding me? you try singing this. she did the freakin best. she didnt add fancy shit and she was pure and amazing.

[meanubeanu]

I hate how other artists add other notes and crap. go carrie!

[kibbleznblitz]

couldnt agree more. i remember seeing this rendition and after it i said i gotta get a downloaded version of it! ive seen so many versions of the SSB butchered. this was a breath of fresh air.

[mickeyvanessa]

AMAZING.

[ILOVEPNUS]

hi anyone want to chat

this video was good Iw

[emmacarmichael323]

hahaha I might

[VannaFam5]

shes amazing. she actually sings it respectfully, all the other artists put to much runs in the NATIONAL ANTHEM.

[jayhcdwm]

you act like the nation anthem is by law only supposed to be sang 1 way...

Its not the nation anthem that keeps America together, Its the people. The song only helps. If you want to complain, It was her that was supposed to sing It, not the crowd to help? She Is yes amazing, but why complain that other artists do It differently?

[kibbleznblitz]

cus some do a shitty job doing it.

[seahawks506]

:D those were the glory days

i went to that game

Seahawks all the way ;p (to the #1 pick)

[musicinvader]

yeah..she didn't sang it too with so much exxageration..i am a filipino but i kept on loving ur anthem since i heard carrie sang it clearly and with so much emotion...

[GiwTristen]

wow.. that is amazing. i think this just barely tops the Dixie Chicks version i think this is the best version out there

[emmacarmichael323]

not too impressive...

[fancygirl333]

id like to c u do bettter

[ethelea]

I love how she just sang naturally and it didn't sound all exaggerated, yet still sounded beyond amazing. She's beauuutiful too =)

[stephennina]

Just awesome! Made me cry.

[111Audi111]

she isn`t singing it, she isn`t performing it she`s taking it to a whole new level

[ucantwin2000]

this is how it is supposed to be sung!!!!!!!!!!!

thanx carrie thank you so much

[oswegodemocrat13]

This is really good! I'm such a fan of Carrie Underwood!1!!!

[verababe4]

She has an amazing voice and no disrespect but am I the only one who thinks she sounds like her nose is stuffed all the time?

[izzyanddennyfan]

the way the National Anthem should be sung!

[acwilley]

Wow, I live in Seattle and didn't remember Carrie doing the National Anthem. That's real cool. Wonder if she was here for something else or just to sing the National Anthem.

Great Performance, Thanks for posting.

[GiwTristen]

why the h311 is their a canadian flag in the bacgrounf at 1:16 ??????? but yes this is amazing

[A2DA3]

There is no wonder she won American Idol. There simply was no other option, she is EXTREMELY talented, singing is her thing, she is amazing! This was so nice, and so honerable to our flag.

[rosedurant159635]

she is beutiful and so much better than kelly!!!!!!!!!!

[ivory23]

I really love this version...so clear and faithful to the original. Not overdone, just right!

[cartoucheom]

voila un pays fiers malgré qu'il soit pas parfait !! pas comme en france ou y aucun patriotisme et ou tu est traiter de rasiste cash !! par contre proner le pays voisin du sud ca on a la droit on est pas rasiste nimporte koi ce pays

[RamonaSteam]

An a cappella masterpiece!

[hatter2003]

That put a chill down my spine! Also makes it better being the magic of Seattle

[affluence8]

Holy Smokes.. Did not know that was possible. There is some magic here.

[111Audi111]

incredible voice

[kitcat222222]

i cant help but cry when i hear this it is so beautiful i can hear the crowd singing with her at "O Say Does That Starspangeld Banner Yet Wave" she has one .A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.L.Y.B.E.A.T.I.F­.U.L. voice please never take this off youtube.

[kitcat222222]

im a 13 year old guy and i broke a tear when i heard this,she has the most beautiful voice i've ever heard absolutly beautiful.

[bjesgirl]

it was good, but i wish she did a little more with it. i also didn't think she hit the "free" note quite as well as she could have. but overall, it was good.

[bigbluegrl23]

the national anthem should be sung without any runs, carrie did it absolutely right

[etrejos11]

The vocals in the "the land of the FREEEEEEEEEE" are flawless!  Best singer ever! Her albums are AWESOME!!!!

[etrejos11]

Hahaha, me 2!

[stone1584444]

Who is that bold-headed guy # 68? It is great to see his listening to the anthem and at the same time his trance into the game!

[UnofficialVoice]

HAHAHA !

I never noticed that before, but that is Wahl - our new left guard !!

Good eye!

[SuBZ3r053]

yes in SEATTLE

[hrvatskihajduksplit]

I'm italian and you american are so great and Carrie is fantastic! USA 4 ever!

[ShadyHawk182]

good times, good times

hope she sings it again this season when the Hawks go back

[kamiakhawk]

it was so cool i was at that game and never really check who signs the NA cause all i really cared about was that Seattle won

[delilahann43]

I love how she sang free!

[aihoschema]

What a voice! Filled with confidence and impeccable vocal technique - yet no-nonsense (I don't even know why I try to analyze something so emotional). One of the best renditions of the American Anthem ever!

[bman0144]

i love carrie underwoods music but this is 1 of the best national anthems i've ever heard!

[melteixeiraa]

the best ive heard. Kill me now but i like this better than whitney´s. (not saying i didnt like whitney, omg shes incredible) Im not american either but carrie sang it so perfectly it gives me chills. At the end I admit I was crying like a baby.

[affluence8]

Wow. I just Cried.. umm. and did you all notice how by the end of the song the entire stadiom was singing along with her?.. Wow- ,,...@! 10 +

[maddiehyh]

i don't like how she sang "free". but the rest of the song was flawless.

[Anijac1412]

I agree! The rest was flawless. Amazing!:)
