[KellyMcCulley]

Dear Carrsia,

Yesterday I read Maya Angelo's Graduation Day for the first time. It spoke of a Negro National Anthem. I thought I was culturally diverse until I realized I didn't even know here was such a song. I decided to find that song immediately and learn to sing it. When I came across you breathtaking performance I loved Maya anew. I wonder if Maya has any idea how much her words affect our society. Your voice will linger. Thank you for the trip. Sincerely, Kelly

[Usernamenotpresent]

[LoveOfDance23]

@shaebhoo100 Nothing's wrong with her clothes. The way she was dressed in this video was perfectly fine. What, did you expect her to have her boobs hanging out and shaking her ass while singing this? If so, you clicked on the wrong vid. You can have talent and NOT show all of your goods.

[daddyangelily]

This is the best solo a cappella performance of this song on youtube.

Thank you for recording it.

[johnnywitchburner]

An interesting play of music, for certain.

However, "The (un)Official Anthem of White History," (found here on YouTube), is waaaaaaay funnier. I mean waaaaaaaaaaaaay funnier.

AMAZING!!!

[cutyv]

i like ur voice and your eyes toooooo :)

[gummoboy69]

Very nice!

[shieldsff]

since Pres. Obama is so outraged over "faux" homophobia in [the] Black community & Black churches, why does he so ardently seek and assume their electoral support on every opportunity ? Since it outrages him so, perhaps in order to allow him to maintain his character & integrity, the "Black Community" should offer it's objectionable, homophobic support to a more reasonable and balanced candidate come 2012- just a very short time from now ! Is there any other group he snubs more than Blacks ??

[taniyapooh1]

wowu killed it girl!

[MrThechosenone19]

hi u doin? that was well song. i make music to, u should checkout my page

[JNCStudioProduction]

[MDawg01050]

Very nice job!! You have a very lovely voice!!

Be careful of going flat on your runs as well when you land your notes. ex- "of LIB-er ties", "Sea" ,"LET us march on"...

But again, very nice job!!

[Baynes321]

Dang she just knocked it out..

[rherbe2]

Yeah, Yup, no doubt about it, you took that song and owned it. Best I've heard on youtube, and I heard all the greats like Charles, Weston, etc.

[sbhazel93]

I dont know you but you sung that song the best out of the people I heard....

[Tom6093]

People- This is 2010 soon to be 2011. A song to remind you of slavery and fighting for your rights in the 60's would have been valid in the 70's or mid 80's. But you should be beyond that now. Yes !!!! Unfortunately there are plenty of people who are prejudace and hateful to other race still today. But you'll find more of a majority of us who aren't. It's because we were taught to accept all people as equal. Yes...Even those of you in the hoods. Iv'e had it up to the gills with hate....bye

[TheNewsoul2]

@Tom6093

Whites always annoy me with their complaints of this classic song and say like you say racism is over or quit whinning WHY DON'T YOU LEARN HOW TO SPELL YOU CRACKER BASTARD before making pleas of so-called racial peace when you people want is for us Blacks to KEEP QUIET and be good sheep. Well you don't pull 9 inch knife only 3 inches out of somebody's back AND CALL IT PROGRESS. When you say stupid shit you just posted that's the analogy to how whites like you deal with race.

[Tom6093]

@TheNewsoul2 Lol. Wow !!!!! How do whites like me deal with race ? Talk about errogance. And with you calling me a Cracker I can only assume your racist towards whites. Here I am just saying that if blacks and other races want to be treated fairly and normal, why dwell on the past and not move on. It seems to me more evident lately alot of you African Americans have something against us whites because of the past. LET THE PAST GO BECAUSE THIS HATE WILL MAKE SHIT HARD FOR YOU.

[TheNewsoul2]

@Tom6093

And if being a "RACIST' means defending my race from the terror of Black /latino/Asian Gangbangers, White Racists, Police Officers and making sure that Black Culture, music, and people endures long after I am dead then I PLEAD GUILTY. This is a beautiful song and it's not racist or anti- amerikkkan. So stop complaining about about a song you can't stand. I dont stand up during the "white national anthem" and will never do so but I stand for this song.

[Tom6093]

@TheNewsoul2 " I don't stand up for the " WHITE NATIONAL ANTHEM" and will never do so but I stand for this song. " First of all, It isn't for JUST white people. Last time I checked, You guys won your rights and have become citizens of this country and are part of our society. The National Anthem is for EVERYONE in this country. Not whites , blacks , or any other race. So when you claim you don't stand for the WHITE ANTHEM, it's an insult for those of your race that actually....con.........

[Tom6093]

@TheNewsoul2 .....con... It's an insult for those in your race that actually care about all who live in our country. The black Anthem , if it's what you claim it represents, is fine , as long as you understand that the National ANTHEM deserves the respect from all of our society. In my opinion ? I think a lot of blacks , mostly in inner city surroundings, are more racist against whites then ever, which is why you called me a cracker and u won't stand for the REAL anthem. PEACE and love

[Mendrell]

listen....you did this song justice. nice.

[TheRaynyDaysOfRaynie]

You have talent. Just make sure you don't jump around too much on some parts. Singing talent doesn't count on getting every single existing note into one; it counts on doing the best you can while still keeping a natural and pure song.

Other than that....I'm jealous. I'm just gonna say that. :)

[d1l2g3]

you sound very good

[Otogi87]

Leave it to ignorant people to go on a black national anthem video and talk shit like really you had to go that hard this girl right here whether she's black or not has a gift like she is on beast mode and she's also far from ugly

[Mrsmeez]

ugly black hoe

[prettyliljazx333]

@Mrsmeez your a fuckin retard .

[theeshanty4lifey]

@Mrsmeez ur point and purpose in life is......?

u need a life

[lemling500]

@Mrsmeez wow . really ? you need some Jesus .

[Sammo163]

@Mrsmeez nice to know that white trash still have excellent and mature vocabulary these days...keep up the good work and you might even graduate to the word stupid. Isn't that wonderful?

[gumptownkid334]

AYYYYYE Hella Nice

[tianatgtbt]

you have a beautiful voice sister! Keep it up!

[tianatgtbt]

absolutely beautiful! you have a wonderful voice sister, and keep singing from your heart.

[ddtondeck9]

@TheMzznia does it matter ?

[TheMzznia]

are u black ? just asking

[BuenaventuraAvenue]

@TheMzznia what makes you ask that question? she looks quite black to me.

[Tage06]

@TheMzznia, the point of the song when Mr. Johnson wrote was for Black American to look past the wrong that was done in the past. So it has more meaning when a Black American sings it but if she is not the meaning transforms itself to show that we have grown as a county and we have taken those words to heed. but anyway ms lady you can sing...i likes

[TheManiJo]

W used to listen to this every morning at my middle school, James Weldon Johnson! =) you have an amazing voice!!

[TheManiJo]

W used to listen to this every morning at my middle school, James Weldon Johnson! =) you have an amazing voice!!

[nkrumabyrd]

You're an awesome singer and you are pretty but you need to feel the song. Act out the lyrics. Close your eyes in repose. Think of the pain of that time and put that in your facial expressions. You are an awesome singer which is the hard part. To be and entertainer u must Act as U Sing. Study Witney Houston she's great at both. Keep it up Boo u goin' make it.

[mattk37917]

[kmh196700]

you shut up. I love Dr. Sowell, Alan Keyes, Allan West, and many other black people I know personally. I despise, white, black, yellow, green, or whoever that lives in this great country that so many bled and died for and turn around and curse it. You are the racist. PIG!
