Neal E. Boyd at Busch Stadium (rare) America's Got Talent

[Edelwulf]

My god folks, an almost equal amount of people liked both of them. It was an unprecedented, before and since, close vote, with less than one half of one percent between them. Both men have gone on to better lives than they had before AGT 2008.

[childnme]

Yeah, I liked the way he went to get the mic before the announcer was finished.

What was worse than that was at time 1:20 when the announcer was getting people to stand and clap and Neal didn't know it.

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

he ate a chorus

[MrAndypandy007]

I like Neil ! He is obviously passionate about singing. As a Tenor myself, I will tell you that you need to lose the false vibrato, you don't need it. You have a natural voice and it good, but could be twice as good ! that I promise !. Well done and keep going !

[horshooer]

Exceptional!!!

[1sweetnuthing]

Holy Crap people, this was not the National Anthem (which is the Star Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key), This was America the beautiful..

[akapi26]

I Think I Heard that He was almost disqualified from the competition, That is probably part of why he was crying when he won as well as happieness

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

yup he was busted with a lipsynch machine in his chin

[TheMegaberto]

@PAMAROSHOUSE really?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?­!?!

[celebrityqueen713]

I think I was at this game, actually. God he is wonderful. Such a beautiful talent.

1ProudMa: Please comment???  I noticed that you remove any comments that you don't approve of. You ever hear of freedom of speech???

[1ProudMa]

What are you talking about? Never happened!

You are a liar!

[69Tuscany]

Have you watched Donald Braswell sing the National Anthem? How do you think he compares with Neil E. Boyd?

[crackersnsoup]

lol at 33 he was gunna grab the microphonee lol

[Downtamun]

Bad recorder , Neil just great ..Up date your recorder

[lamboman9]

I was at this game! He has a great voice and this video does not do this performance justice. Being at the stadium and hearing it over the loudspeakers was just amazing

[Ratisbone68]

You need to see Donald Braswell sing the National Anthem the way it shoud be sung.

[DONILOOKGUD]

man your looking at a guy who months later wins a million dollars wow

[RJTeets79]

I was at that game! It was on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 against Milwaukee in St. Louis! I was in outfield field box section 166. I remember him and thought he was really awesome but did'nt realize who it was till now :) I spent the whole day in St. Louis that day and earlier that afternoon the Jonas Brothers was there also getting a tour of Busch Stadium becuase they were going to perform in St. Louis that night or later that week.

[geranium614]

amazing voice - takes my breath away

i like all of your sounds but

your opera voice is transformational!!!

thank you - i await a CD

[annpotteiger]

I had him picked to win AGT from the beginnning. I cry too everytime I hear him sing. His singing is magical and speaks to the soul.  Size in this case does not matter, only the voice. Neil, please keep on singing and I can't wait for the album. Sing on, brother!

[sammiskater]

i call him tub !

[LadyTai7]

You are being mean!!!

[wajimya]

That was pretty darn good to be put on the spot and to sing like that. That man can sing.....

[VegasNvVegas]

Most of you leaving messages about it being hard to sound that good in a big stadium. YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT !!!! Those of you that think his performance was dull ... you have no talent.

[slinkylubber]

damn it, neal. everytime you sing you make me cry. such a beautiful voice, God bless you!

[getalife04]

Singing in a stadium like that is difficult to do. And the recording quality on that wasn't the best. We all know he can do better from seeing him on AGT. I sang the national anthem at a baseball game for the Triple A team here and it was pretty hard with the delay in the stadium.

[bugg53]

ick

[06makati]

what is he doing? dahhhhhhhh.........

[brownsugah66]

Thank you 1ProudMa!!!!

[jgaarsoe]

He sounds a bit off key in a couple of places, and I thought he did much better on America's Got Talent, but I can imagine how difficult it would be to give an impromptu acapella performance like that.

[tiger9111]

heeeee caaaaannnnntttttt ssssssiiiiinnnnnggggggggg, ssssoooorrrryyyy toooo bbbeeee aaaannnn aaaasssseeeeehhhhooooolllleeee­, bbbuuuutttt heee sssssuuuucccckkkkkssss

[brownsugah66]

well millions of people disagree with you because he won the contest...

[tiger9111]

millions may disagree with me but atleast a billion agree with me

[brownsugah66]

the proof is in the pudding

[mikeylorene]

Yeah, but the "pudding" is made with milk that's "off".

[brownsugah66]

Clean out the wax in your ears and you'll hear much better.. wait it's not that ..you're just tone deaf. Nothing can be done for that!!!

[mikeylorene]

Tone deaf means can't carry a note on key, not hear properly... HEY! You just nailed the problem!

[brownsugah66]

No tone deafness also means you have difficulty or being unable to correctly hear relative differences between notes.....Wikipedia it

[mikeylorene]

Assumptive statements will not make him sing BETTER.

[brownsugah66]

I never said he had a problem singing,I said you had the problem and that is a true statement not assumptive.

[brownsugah66]

Not only do you have difficulty hearing ,it's also with understanding as well....

[brownsugah66]

Hey! You just nailed your own problem !

[brownsugah66]

So the milk will probably always be 'off' in your case

[feedoggie]

A juvenile answer from......a juvenile.

[brownsugah66]

That is exactly what I thought as well

[mikeylorene]

Now I know for sure that contest is FIXED!

[pushad147]

I'm sure any one of the five could have been a suitable winner but he won and you're just displaced because it wasn't the one that you wanted.Here 's a tip for you suck it up buttercup

[mikeylorene]

Wrong on all counts, push, but if you like wasting your money on someone who sings off key, be my guest.

[mikeylorene]

Yeah, Tiger- notice every time he sings the host has to TELL us he's got talent.

[tiger9111]

yerp, its like they are being sympathetic to him haha

[Pechy40]

He'll now get invited to alot of ball games to sing this. :)

[jamminmamma]

oh wow!! so cool!!! how can you beat that was awesome! i wish i was there

[JonesDO333]

Wow Neal, no prep no warning and you can still get a crowd of thousands on their feet. There is no question about you having an amazing talent!

[kwgrid]

Wow! Accopello (sp?)  Cool beans!
