  • Makes me want to cry because its so beautiful!! Love you Carrie!! :)

  • 1:32 - 1:37 OMFG!!!

  • She's killing me.  best anthem i've ever heard

  • My god!! Carrie!!  You're no 'false idol', so I'm gonna go ahead and WORSHIP you!! No falsetto, no accompaniment, and JESUS!! In-Mother-f******-Credible!!!!

  • AMAZING

  • This is my all-time favorite performance of the National Anthem. Her performance at the Super Bowl was just one note shy of being just as perfect. I wish this was available on itunes. I love all of the subtle choices she makes which do not take away from the song but add to it's spirit.

  • I would of like died if i saw her there rehersing!!!

  • @ pooh783 dude afoot yourself in the face...with a cannon.

    Anyways, that's how you sing the fucking national anthem!!!

  • Hella good

  • For the eighteenth MILLIONTH time, the only reason she was off on the last note at the "real performance" was because she was off enough to have the pitch correction do it's job. Just like it does to Miley every note she sings, becuase she can't. :)

  • *she

    Haha -- typo.

  • I'm not sure why people say that she bombed the Superbowl. It was just the VERY LAST NOTE. The rest was perfection, an LIVE-- something the Superbowl hasn't seen in ages. Carrie is an immaculate singer, and he did very well with this version and her Superbowl performance.

    Billboard just ranked her 2007 NFL Conference Anthem as the 3rd best anthem ever, behind Whitney and Jimi Hendrix, and in front of the likes of Marvin Gaye and Beyonce.

  • Taylor swift can't sing without hiding behind he guitar, because she knows she has a terrible voice

  • @clpnyc I don't.

  • Yeah! stand up ND RECOGNISE!!! SALUTE!

  • i REALLY wish the ppl that was bashing on her performance would listen to this and hear how truly amazing she really is and stop hating.

  • hey I really want this on my ipod not as a video but as a song does anyone know how to get this as a song?

  • @singerchick18 go on listentoyoutubedotcom and enter the complete url of the video!

  • i think she was holding the mbrella so that she can hear herself better cause it forms like a dome shape and the sound reflects? sorry lmao im not good at physics

  • @hannacrystal no it was raining haha

  • does anyone have a recorded version or an mp3 version that i can put on my ipod?

  • i think it's funny that carrie is the only one in the entire stadium holding an umbrella. ??? lol

  • If only she could hear herself in that stadium she would have been fine. People need to realize that she was one of the first artists to ever sing the National Anthem live at the Superbowl. Mariah, Whitney, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson...all lip synced. When you can't hear yourself, it's really hard to sing. She was basically singing by vocal memory, meaning, what felt right to her and her vocal chords. I'm suprised she was as good as she was with all the obnoxious noise! Great job Carrie!!!

  • @duchovny2 haha...too true!

  • @coffee559 Yeah, she sounds amazing here. She was off at the Superbowl... I think she just let her nerves get to her. I felt bad for her. I still think it's awesome that she was brave enough to attempt to sing it live though.

  • amazing!! my inspiration x check out my songs on my page!!

  • SHe was really awesome.. :D Look alike w/ Emily Osment LOL she sang it on my b-day feb 5.. :D

  • I'm confused how she ruined the superbowl?...i think this was great.

  • I love Carrie!! She is soo great. Yeah Martinas good too have you heard her new song Wrong Baby Wrong? It's good, but I still love Carrie a little bit more. I mean, this is amazing!

  • Wow. she really SANG that SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! She sang that song like she REALLY meant it and I think she did!!! I get to see her in concert April 24!!!!!!!!

  • watch a fan video, it was clear she couldnt hear herself. VERY CLEAR!

  • amazing!

  • Anyway, this performance was wonderful! Her power notes were so strong and clear, much better than in the actual performance. Definitely one of the BEST singers of this generation.

  • The actual performance was rushed and she got ahead of herself. When she sang, "but so proudly we hailed" it was really quick. listen to the actual performance. this is a better pace thats why it sounded much better.

  • her rehearsal is allot better than the actual thing but can't blame her, i mean the crowd and stuff...i mean who r u people to criticize her voice i mean that's just her voice if u don't' like it than don't listen to it and make ignorant comments, who cares about other stars? go comment on theirs?

  • There are Carrie fans...and then there are fans who have no clue about music or what sounds good. they are commonly referred to as Swift fans.

  • @duchovny2 I love you so much thank you

  • I do not like very much Dixie chicks at 2003 is the best!!

  • this was better than her actual performance...to bad :(

  • LOL @ "strains" Right, that's why all of the critics who attend her shows ALWAYS comment on how effortless and fine-tuned her voice is. That's why she generally still hits all of her notes, even when she's sick as a dog. and she doesn't even have formal training. Aww, you're mad?

  • @PaulDA2000

    are you stupid or living on an alternate universe where taylor swift is considered a good singer?

    must be the later... nobody, even crtics that may not like her song choices decry her voice. ever. its powerful, versatile, and gorg.

  • @PaulDA2000 Well it's clear you no absolutely nothing about music. Must be a Swift fan

  • What does Taylor Swift have to do with Carrie Underwood singing the National Anthem??

  • @PaulDA2000

    I agree that Martina is a tremendous singer, but I'm sorry, I think Carrie is up there as well

  • Pahaha! Yes, Carrie is amazing singer!! Anyway..what I think is really bizarre is the fact that you can sit here and tell ME that Taylor cannot sing live or whatever, and yet you have never seen her live?..do I stand corrected??

    or have you really never been to one of her concerts?

  • The fact that you're putting Christina and Martina in the same class as Mariah, Whitney, and Celine (The Vocal Trinity) renders your entire post LAUGHABLE. lmao. As a power singer, Carrie is just as good, if not BETTER than both of them. She can actually carry her vocal power and stamina above a high TENOR D, and actually does so with vibrato! McBride and Aguilera have tremendous power, but only when singing in the key of a man LOL.

  • LMAO, that's a crock of shit. Martina McBride "hits notes effortlessly" as long as they're in TENOR range. Above a C#, her voice is extremely strained. Just listen to some of her live performances of "Broken Wing." Carrie doesn't have as great of a TECHNIQUE as Martina, but she has FAR more range. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. If you know anything about music theory or vocal pedagogy, you wouldn't even have to second-guess that. McBride is an overrated singer. Great power, limited range.

  • that was incredible!!:) wow she is amazing:) Can't wait to see her in October:):)!

  • carrie underwood is an amazing singer!

  • What the heck is that gadget flying across the field at 0:52? I know its a TV camera but how is it supported? A long cable? Is it really flying? Dangling from a helicopter or blimp? IMWTK

  • She sounded great here with no one around just like anyone else would. But singing in front of 100,000 people live must have been nerve racking. She's still the best!!

  • she sounds awesome. it was just nerves.

  • I think what some people are trying to say is that singing solo like this is an exhibition, not a competition. A "fumble," as one person put it, during an exhibition would be overlooked much more easily than it would had the SSB been sung in a competition format like American Idol. Therefore, whoever compared a singing exhibition to playing a football competition FAILED. Carrie's singing rocks, IMHO.

  • alright, everyone is saying that the regular performance was rough but YES it will be. It was live!! Shes singing in front of 25,000+ people and millions on the tv, i think she sounded amazing so if anyone has a problem they can message me. thanks

  • 106 million people watching

  • i soooo agree 100%! the swift fans need to lay off! id like to see her sing it without her little guitar...oh wait.. my ears would bleed so no thanks. haha . :)

    p.s. it was actually more than 75,000.

  • LOLLLLL

  • well, she's very nice to her FANS, that is what counts.

  • I watched Carrie Underwood sing the SSB at the Super Bowl. She is a great performer, but her SSB was mediocre, at best, when compared to the Cactus Cuties version. I guess being a 5 time Grammy-award-winner out ranks, "being able to sing the song great". Maybe next year the Cuties can do it right in Super Bowl XLV.

  • LOL her umbrella is so random xD

  • @poofyhamster yeah lol:D but at least she holds it herself. doesn't have someone holding for her

  • Not sure why I'm not posting....

    Won't let me link, but watch

    "Martina McBride Sings The National Anthem To Kick Off The 2006 NFL Season"

  • Tht was absolutely a hack job...she butchered the song ..atleast she remembered the words..suckfest...

  • the one at the super bowl was i agree, the rehearsal was great.

  • next year i hope t pain does the national anthem

  • Or wayne , LMFAO.

  • She was probably really nervous during the real thing.

  • i was equally amazed by the hand signal lady

  • man, she was better for this soundcheck than on the actual day of the superbowl. Oh don't worry Carrie, We still love you! (I still love you) always and forever my American Idol!!! :)

  • @jonzbeach nobodies perfect plus nobodies in the stadium. it's always easier when no ones around and it's easier to hear too. lol

  • i agreee

  • her voice is amazing in that stadium ahaha i would have freaked if I was there during that lol

  • WOW!!!!! That was amazing!!!

  • she sounds amazing

  • Finally, someone who knows how to sing the song the Right way, so many of the singers these days screw it all the hell up

  • Ignorant Comment.

  • WHO DAT

  • who dat

  • awesome

  • definately the best anthem ive heard sung. . . especially considering how hard it is to sing

    i thought the live version was quite good :)

  • Better than the version she did for the actual game, and probably the best I've ever heard. Incredible.

  • I love her. She did an amazing job.

  • She is TALENTED. No doubt about it.

  • she's incredible!

  • The Cactus Cuties sing Acapella, do not lip sinc, and I have yet to hear them miss a note. They sang at a Cowboys game in the new stadium and were great (as usual). If they can do it CU should be able to manage it also. She is a professional after all.

  • She is possibly the best singer to come around in a long time! This is a beautiful rendition where she remains respectful to the star spangled banner and still sings the heck out of it! Rock on Carrie Underwood!

  • Comment removed

  • she did good.. it was sung live she didnt lip sync.. she was probably nervous. least she knew all th words!!!!

  • I think this was great! Thanks for sharing it.

  • I love her. End of story.

  • Excellent, great job CU, love these live performances at the Supers......

  • she sucked on the anthem

  • Check out the Cactus Cuties version of the SSB here On YouTube if you want to see how it should be sung.

  • I watched Carrie Underwood sing the SSB last night at the Super Bowl. She is a great preformer, but her SSB was mediocre, at best, when compared to the Cactus Cuties version. I guess being a 6 time Grammy-award-winner out ranks, "just being great". Maybe next year the Cuties can do it right in Super Bowl XLV.

  • who are the cactus cuties??? hm i highly doubt they will be doing it next year.

  • That's just it. No one yet, but they will be. Type their name in at the top of this screen and listen to their version. If it doesn't bring a tear to your eyes and put a lump in your throat, nothing will.

  • Everyone can have their own opinion! Anyways it was cute how she was singing under an umbrella

  • she's so talented. She did great at super bowl. who cares what critics say

  • Its alright, but she doesnt half shout it.

  • i thought she sounded incredible here and live.

    she sings with so much heart.

    her rendition was very moving.

    =)

  • it's a lot easier to hear yourself sing when the stadium is empty.

  • Ahhh check out her bling! GO CARRIE!

  • Yea sound check was definitely better! I think she got nervous

  • she defiantly did better here. she was rough at the super bowl and cracked a little at the end during her performance. but she's human so i'll give her props. i've never sang at the super bowl. so she has balls for singing in front of the whole united states.

  • She was great. Why did Perez trash her? I don't get him. Hater

  • I thought she was great! Even the actual performance was great. Don't see how she was "rough" to quote Perez...

  • Comment removed

  • i actually saw what perez was talking about on the super bowl, he was right. she was pitchy through the whole thing, and her notes weren't solid. That said, i still find her incredible (she was performing for millions, thats got to be scary), and I'm sure I couldn't do what she does. She's got an amazing talent, anyone would get nervous for a performance like that, and the national anthem is an incredibly hard song to sing.

  • this one was perfect, though. so much better than the one at the actual super bowl.

  • Don't ever listen to Perez. His idea of "talent" is digitally edited musicans.

  • @gabesaportaaa , carrie underwood performed live at the super bowl, while most artists just lip synch to a recording, and who wouldn't get nervous with millions of people watching her

    i think she did great

  • shut up

  • SHE IS PERFECT! Her voice is so powerful!

  • wether or not she was better in soundcheck or the actual...she did it live...and she was the first one to do it live in a very long time...Id rather have her do it live and make a few mistakes then lipsync

  • ya'll need to stop hating on carrie so what if she went a little bit off key or whatever your complaining about 99.9% of the performance was amazing and better then any of yous could do.

  • I heard it... all the way to Sweden. Thanks USA...

  • carrie powns taylor swift

  • @parkerlove2007 yess she did! Let's see Taylor Swift:

    1. Sing LIVE

    2. Sing the national anthem like that!

  • She did great! Big props! She did it LIVE. No backing track, no auto tune.

  • Absolutely AMAZING!!! She is one of the greatest country singers ever.

  • Definitely better in the soundcheck... understandably so! It's tough to sing this well in front of millions and millions (and millions) of people!

  • I'd like to see you try and perform in front of that many people...LIVE! Gobshite!

  • Good job Carrie you always do OK proud............

  • Don't know a thing about Carrie Underwood but she's obviously talented. Everybody screws up when they're nervous. The Super Bowl is a pretty big gig!

  • chills... beautiful.

  • i'm not a fan of Carrie Underwood personally (great voice, total bitch)--in all fairness, at the game she seemed to be singing much more deliberately, and it seems like she may have been having some problems hearing herself..

    i'd love to slam her,but i really have to chalk it up to some possible monitor issues and nerves.

  • @CrotchChakra what makes you say shes a bitch?

  • @maggieheartsmakeup

    close friends work with her. she's VERY competitive--NOT female friendly. all i can say is, when she stops making money, there will be some shocking tell-all stories about the legends she's dissed "on the way up".

    p.s. i like your GLIT FIT video.

  • ...and you people can give me the thumbs down all you want---it doesn't make it any less true.

    WHY do people assume that someone they admire is "perfect" and without personality flaws?

    the girl is talented, no doubt.

    but she's also a total bitch. and if YOU came up to her when she wasn't in the mood or there wasn't a crowd/cameras around, she'd crush your sorry little delusions about celebrities.

    in that way, she's no different from A LOT of celebrities. deal with it.

  • Do you know her personally? I doubt it.

    If you go up to anyone when they aren't in the mood to be bothered or they just arent in a good mood, how exactly do you expect them to act, that doesn't make someone a "bitch", as you would say.

  • @BlueCross77

    i know her casually through the people who WORK with her and TOUR with her on a daily basis, darling. and i'm not talking about her being rude to fans--i'm talking about her being rude to people who work for her--and WORSE--her making rude/bitchy comments about female LEGENDS. she's tolerated because she makes a LOT of money for people. but there is no love for her the same way there is love for Reba or Dolly--or even Taylor Swift.

  • i admire her music. she has a truly great voice---but try not to be too disappointed one day when the paychecks dry up and someone finally spills the beans on who she really is.

  • First of all you don't know her personally, knowing her through someone that works for her doesnt count. My best friend toured with her and keith urban and said she was actually nice. Does that mean it's true? Who knows...2nd Are most people you know nice that you work with? Let's get real here, she is a perfectionist and rightfully so. Some people take things to heart too much, who cares? Carrie is beautiful, talented and seemingly respectable.Geez, lighten up! Is it ok for her have a bad day?

  • @apaaaayyy

    please read my other comments more carefully starting at the BEGINNING. i was elaborating on my original statement because i was ASKED TO. i never said or implied that she wasn't anything less than tremendously talented......

    she's just a bitch.

  • Proof?

  • @apaaaayyy

    please read my other comments more carefully starting at the BEGINNING. i was elaborating on my original statement because i was ASKED TO. i never said or implied that she wasn't anything less than tremendously talented...

    she's just a bitch.

    i've seen it firsthand. she gets along great with men, but is a jealous bitch around women SHE feels are more attractive/talented.

  • @apaaaayyy

    i'm not "casting out...hate and judgement" that's a statement of fact. and it WILL become more well known because she's becoming more blatant.

    Google "Carrie Underwood pulls a Kanye at the CMA's" or better yet! Google "CARRIE UNDERWOOD BITCH".

    and why, might i ask, are you bringing God and religion into this? sounds like you're worshiping a False Idol (American, at that) haha!

    and another thing, why are you so emotionally invested in my experiences/opinion?

  • @apaaaayyy

    these are MY experiences and MY opinion--you can take it or leave it.

    it's really that simple.

  • and for clarification, part of this post is in response to apaaaayyy's comment that is marked currently marked SPAM.

  • yeah, because you know her and all. haha HATER.

  • @CrotchChakra

    seriously when have you seen it firsthand? i doubt you know her because if you did you wouldnt be saying crap out your ass. i have met her and she was really nice and real.

    hon, if you are asking me to use google it seems that you dont have much resource other than the net. reading something of the net does not count as firsthand info.

    oh, and the kanye thing was a load of crockshit when Carrie was trying to get off air. seriously, if i were her i would have triped taylor.

  • @CrotchChakra

    triped taylor for being an annoying talentless brat. sorry, who can blame her?

  • @ankatz you think Carrie Underwood is talentless? lol okay bud

  • Comment removed

  • can you elaborate please?

  • This was so much better than the one at the game. Oh well. That's what she gets for singing it LIVE and not lip-synching like everyone else. I guess she thought her nerves wouldn't get the best of her.

  • not ONLY is she drop dead insanely gorgeous....

    but she is also a fucking insanely good singer.

    WTF?!!!

    SHE'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WOW....that was simply amazing. People can not say anything negative about her voice, talent, or anything. She did an amazing job. Better than many artist out there...nobody could have done this better...Taylor couldn't do this...Taylor can't really sing well'; I love taylor's music but Carrie has a better voice...Stop hating..

  • I challenge anyone who says it wasnt good to do better. Her voice is phenomenal, and jealousy certainly brings out the worst in some people.

  • that's funny coming from a traylor trash swift fan.

    "horrible horrible horrible"??

    for you, it's more like "tone deaf tone deaf tone deaf."

  • its good what r u talking about...some flat parts though.

  • Wow, this is 100x better than her live performance. Poor thing choked :(

    Glad we got to hear this one, though.
