[jeanise10]

If you listen to the story you wills ee why we as a nation see greatness and why this is our national song, for all of us. All nationalities fight for freedom here and die jsut as weel but in the morning "our flag was till there" they were scared listen to the song. go R give it some life.

[ShironBlackSmith]

1983 I meant to say and marvin gaye.,Kelly did a great job, just think about Taylor Swift singing it and the other one that forgot the words LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShironBlackSmith]

Kelly song that good but nobody has ever song it better than Marvin Gaye in 1987.Sorry Kelly not as good as Marvin, but your still at the top of the list, Marvin,Whitney and Kelly for sure.

[mgordon411]

Best version ever and will be forever. I see a lot of R Kelly haters!

[MrElcangripai]

lol



[clgpuppup]

laenpvp u fucktar he didnt rape anyone

[LaenPvP]

So this is what R. Kelly does when he's not raping under age girls...

[Theaaronjms]

Best version ever ! 

[boomer100001]

What the hell is this fucking showcase?

[disavowed101]

@boomer100001 A boxing match

[indiancowboy1900]

This is blacker than Popeye's Chicken

[andrewmorton8807]

To 44annette, it's people like you who drastically set back race relations. Referring to the original as not being written by blacks and "R. Kelly gives us our version with soul and true emotions" directly supports my comment. You only love this sorry version of our national anthem because you feel R. Kelly is sticking it to Francis Scott Key, excuse me... a white man, and the white slave owners. With you, our country only consists of blacks and whites, not Americans and that's very unfortunate.

[SpareSimian]

The original was based on a drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heaven". (Check Wikipedia's article on "Star-Spangled Banner".) It just goes to show that it's patriotic to use mind-altering substances like alcohol.

[prpatterson]

@SpareSimian The tune was based on "To Anacreon in Heaven". Throughout history this is a common practice.

[SpareSimian]

@prpatterson True. I just thought it silly that people would hold the original sacred when it was based on a drinking song. I like Kelly's version as well. I wonder if he's covered any other national anthems, such as Oh Canada?

[jeanise10]

What was wrong with his version. I like the song and he at least knew the words. I thought he did a good job. God R. You the man. why would they put you in the worst for this song? I think he did a good job not like that crazy christina agiellera now that was a mess. R did better than Mariah.

[lewward44]

This is a hot mess!

[masskompa07]

Have you heard the one by Marvin gaye

[MrBennetzen]

Not very smart and having him investigated for possession for child pornography didn't help matters either.

[madaboutexercise]

I'm "old" and R. Kelly you can sing that for me anytime, I loved it!

[mo4ya2020]

Only R. Kelly ! Kells'!!!!!!!!!

[nlsbabygurl56]

This was an awesome remake! I this it's ridiculous people stand like stone and sing. This shows how proud he is of our country. Our National Anthem should make people happy and smile. I give him major kudos for having fun with it. People got into the song! NOT DISRESPECTFUL AT ALL. STOP HATING!

[prpatterson]

@nlsbabygurl56 Ya I'm sure that is what he had in mind when he arranged the song....pride in his country. Give me a break.

[chilliwonka]

i cringed

[4327848]

LMBO! "Oh yea, c'mon ya'll".....i liked it. Original.

[watupdawgdawg]

that was one of a kind

[siogirl7]

That was a very pretty version of it :)

[siogirl7]

That was beautiful. The words were right, he repeated a few lines for emphasis. Overall is u listen to him just singing, he sings the song pretty close to the original. The beat was different. It was great.

[fayeslover]

who are those idiots dancing?

[kingmiked13]

why are they stepping in the name of love lmao hilarious

[yungwill513]

disrespectful and a mess

[Powerpful]

To make matters worse people are "Stepping in the name of love" I like R. Kelly but this is a bit much...and some of the words weren't right. LOL

[hope518]

nobody could be r.kelly.. i got mad respect for him.. brother from back in the day.. he got soul..trey and brown cant touch him- classy

[SleazySanjuro]

hahahah this is the greatest ever

[OPENMINDFITNESS]

the star spangled banner.... it says what it is..... beauty lies in diversity

[44annette]

R Kelly is a talented man, If he was to release this version of the star spangle banner it would be a number one hit. Some people feel this version is a disgrace but actually the origion version was not created by African Americans. R Kelly gives us our version with soul and true emotions. Thumps up to R Kelly.

[jeremiah1porter]

@44annette right.....like marvin gaye...they made it their own...gave us something some good music to listen to

[pavoman23]

@44annette White people need more soul in the anthem too. That old one is dull.

[vnmj9512]

he got a pretty good voice but i dont quite understand the people dancing on stage but whateva

[Robbmaggedon]

roooooooooooofllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllll

[hamoana4]

LoL.....Ooo Yeah...boogie to the National Anthem!!!

[ThomasHankyPank]

LMFAO His wife is cheating on him!

[VampireNacho]

this my new jam lol xD

[wiley482]

this is a disgrace. sure, people can change it up a little bit, but its the national anthem, it should be respected as it is. doing a remix of it is just in bad taste and disrespects the song and the immense tradition and honor that it represents

[24karotgold]

amazing

[MrRomeobig]

hey Joe i finally see you now hahaha with the Big dog!

[iBuckFush]

you must be high

[Rayray17325215886]

[degenerator777]

Halleluja raise you hands,, yeah yeah

[bonesiown]

man shane mosely is really feelin it...hahahaaa

[DKFellon]

wow, f-in' awesome. Pure-talent.-dk

[ChristianJ954]

I don't think there was really any need to change the version of this song. He should really stick to remixing other wack songs but others like this deserve to be sang to it's original. If he wanted to make it his own he could've simply sang it same version but threw himself in it more. This is just disappointing.

[shine0911]

Part of the beauty of the United States is individuality. I like the fact that he took a standard song and made it his own. it meens something different to all of us, and this is how it felt to him.

[prpatterson]

@shine0911 He should keep his feelings to himself.

[mepica77]

WTF IS THIS

[pcarlo55]

Clap your hand ya'll!!! LMAO!

[cortiz4]

First homeboy pisses on chicks now hey pisses on the Star Spangled Banner. WTF Shame on you dude!!!

[sgoins78]

[LadyN517]
