Star Spangled Banner Glennis Grace

[eric101893]

she is a really good singer, but the fact she is copying Whitney (Hands at the end, singing the same riffs and runs) is just pathetic. Be original... if you want to tribute her that's one thing, but this and her other performances are ridiculous.

[browseceline]

why always the moaning about copy cats; this is Glennis her voice, and maybe sounds a bit like Whitney, but this her voice and it is a damn good one! Glennis deserves a big career!

[innocentloyal]

Have your own style... Shit. We Only have one Whitney. I hate copy cats. And your was cracking.

[louie2988]

well guess whitney god giving voice went to this women, so people whitney is done she fucked up her voice this lady needs to be in the US, we need great divas like her, because wat we have now, are getting old or losing thier voice, i mean celine areatha, and patti still sings and are great, but everyone else yeah they need to retire

[svigileos]

maggy604 keep your ignorant no nothing opinions to yourself. Glennis Grace is a fantastic talent!

[svigileos]

I´m American and this woman blows me away! Glennis Grace sings far better then Mariah Carey´s version of Start Spangled banner thats for damn sure! Glennis Grace needs to get herself to the United States and fast! I have no doubt in my mind that she will be an instant successful star! I have been listening to her talent now for a year and I just can´t get over what this woman can sing, I mean she can sing anything and with style!

[louie2988]

@svigileos so agree with u

[warmink1973]

Kippevel!!!

[maggy604]

Not bad at all, but then again there are many others that can sing just like you or even better. I don't think that the US is waiting for another voice like this. Perhaps you can stand out with something you have created yourself?

And btw just wondering why are all the not so 'raving' comments flagged as spam?

[Keysmusic]

Ik hoor je liever het Wilhelmus zingen,Glenda Batta. Maar de Star Spangled Banner levert meer dollars op,denk ik.

[pulaat]

goede zangeres, maar dit moet echt beter...sorry

[Suvienka13]

waaaauw, supermooi

[JusticeWayne]

Geweldig!

[polderwijffie]

Ze zingt beter dan dat ze Nederlands spreekt.

Allemachtig, wat een taal kan dat mens uitslaan, niet normaal meer.

En er dan nog trots op zijn dat ze een echte Jordanese is.

Ze heeft gewoon een ordinaire grote mond en dan blijf ik nog netjes.

[kittymul1]

@polderwijffie: Heerlijk die rasechte Amsterdamse....vind je haar alleen leuk als ze uit het Gooi komt, of Aerdenhout? misschien leuk als ze een babyshower houdt voor haar nieuwe Chaneltasje??? zoals de Yuppies uit de PC, met het geld van hun ouders? blijf lekker in je polder !!!

[polderwijffie]

@kittymul1

Heeft niks met het Gooi of Aerdenhout te maken.

Maar als je alleen maar kan schelden als je midden op de weg een interview geeft, vind ik dat ordinair en zeer goedkoop.En ik heb gezegd dat ze een goed stem heeft,maar in het Nederlands schreeuwt ze meer dan dat ze zingt.Leuke video's heb je geupload.Als je alleen maar commentaar kan geven, doe dat dan normaal.

En ik woon heerlijk in de polder, met beschaving en ABN sprekend.Fijne dag verder.

[xLiSsjj]

Wat een verschrikkelijk mooie stem, wauw !

[De8ster]

Ik vind het helemaal niks, ik vind Glennis zo'n schreeuwerd, vreselijk.

[sonja468]

Deze dame gaat het maken Haleluya!!! YES SHE WILL

[fckmarok]

hoop dat je ook snel gauw emigreert naar de VS, passen wel goed bij elkaar, beide ordi

[kittymul1]

@fckmarok Je hebt er echt verstand van :-))

[hageneesz070]

Kippenvel van jou

[14Houvanjou]

Glennis, je bent de beste!!!!!

[roberttichelaar1]

Well Glennis started with singing WH songs and she has the same type of voice. Problem is that WH was not a constant performer so sometimes she sang out of tone. Glennis is a unique singer as she is always performing at her best. I think when you wake her up at night she still sounds like the voices from heaven. In the Netherlands she is known as the best female singer. I think she could get at the top of Europe when a great team will be assembled with great songwriters, producers and promoters.

[ThePianoguy89]

She sounds more like Deborah Cox!

[46bloempje]

Glennis is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manolapix]

A TOTAL RIPOFF FROM WHITNEY'S VERSION OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, EVEN THE RUNS AND HAND GESTURES WERE THE SAME

[Clemsonshawty]

Good job!

[harrympower]

she is not immitating WH , she has the same kind of voice.

she is one of europe's best singers.

believe me, she is.

and verry consisting in her performance. unlike most singing stars like HW and so on

[Adilehiwed]

Glennis is Glennis, de vergelijkingen met Whitney is niet meer als een compliment.

ZE IS GEWOON DE BESTE. voor mij en nog heeeeeel veel anderen kan ik jullie verzekeren.

[williejjj]

OMG :O

[undersc0re2]

quite good, , but doesnt compare to most proffesionals. .theres too much straining. .

and she loses control at the end she couldnt hold the note any longer. quite bumpy. it wasnt style its just that she cant sing the note perfecty

[mommynetherlands]

@undersc0re2 well she did a lot better than Christina Aguilera did recently, she can be proud of this performance, unlike Christina

[rbailey1227]

WOW ...she sounded better than some professionals! 

[MrReflus]

Quality!!

[gomkon]

0:58 "...and the rocket reds glare..."

should be: "...and the rockets red glare..."

greetings from germany.

[johnnyfaro]

HOLY SHIT!

[jay9170]

waarom zit iedereen toch te zeuren dat Glennis Whitney nadoet,Men zeurt toch ook niet dat Frans Duyts( hoe heet die man) en anderen Andre Hazes nadoen. Zij heeft gewoon een gelijksoortige stem als Whitney( en nu gebleken sterker) en laat haar lekker door blijven gaan met wat zij doet. En ja kippenvel iedere keer weer, ook bij het ESC destijds. WIj zaten in de zaal en iedereen werd helemaal gek bij haar optreden, geweldig!!!! you go girl!!

[Pijpie89]

@jay9170

Je hebt echt gelijk, meesten mochten willen dat ze zo dicht bij Whitney in de buurt kwamen ;) En daarbij, het optreden van whitney staat centraal in the US als 1 van de beste vertalingen van het volkslied daar ... er is vast wel een beetje over nagedacht omdat ze het wel echt kopieert ... though .. het maakt niet uit .. ze doet het onwijs goed :) !

[jay9170]

@Pijpie89 Jammer dat ze in Nederland toch niet echt bij het grote publiek aanslaat. Ze zingt nu ook wel nederlands maar of dat een goede zet is geweest. Ik vind het prachtig maar deelt nederland die mening wel???

[bpelham1987]

ok wow ! this girl is so bitin on whitney houstons version she did for the 1991 super bowl ! lame ! and she cant even say half the words. retarded !

[Forrestcount]

@bpelham1987

What a lame response that is man. Sure you can here she is not American. But jeez get off you're high horse and give here the credit she deserves.

I think Glennis did a great job there and I really enjoy listening to her. Even if she tried to sound/look like Whitney, witch I doubt, you should just see it as an appreciation for the great singer Whitney wás.

Glennis is another/next generation and lots of them will sound or look like old successful singers.

[raigekimaru]

that ending. talk about breath control

[mole4prez]

this is a wonderful rendition, however her diction needs improvement.

[victorjose17]

why is she imitating whitney? I don't understand..

[cosmo468]

@victorjose17 she's not immitating whitney she just has the same kind of voice

[michael7777yes]

@cosmo468 well i am sure her english is better then your dutch eeh... cheers

[dichtemist]

Perfecte imitatie van de versie van Whitney. Zelfs qua armbewegingen e.d. :)

[DonQneder]

Wow, ben benieuwd hoe haar wilhelmus klinkt!?!?

[sjenneferminnie]

I got goosebumps as omgg this gewellig

[rickynosso]

best everr

glennis ur the bestt

kriebelsss

[jaybaba1982]

ah ok it was good but its alot easy to imitate a song with all its rifts and so on than to totally come up with it yaself...if whitney had never sung this song the standard wouldnt have been set and no way would this women have sung it to a high standard...its a rip off and she should have added some originality!! what a scam!!!

[Footballjock39]

whitney is way better and she sounds nothing like whitney at all

[MarklovesNina86]

and I agree she sounds natural and sounds like Whitney

[MrSabiso]

Guys, this was "live", not (pre-recorded)

This song doesn't mean anythink for her. She is dutch but still one of the best live versions ever....!

[dyseskytten]

Good and better than most but doesnt come close to Charices performance.. alot of glitches and she tried too hard to copy Whitney.

[MarklovesNina86]

really.... why dont you watch glennis singing one moment in time and look whose trying hard to copy and sound like Whitney. her voice is natural and charice's voice is sometimes forced especially when she sings Whitney songs... glitches maybe right but remember she's dutch with an accent

[dyseskytten]

The Dutch are some on the best english speaking with english as their second launguage (I am danish and we are pretty good too). Charice didnt speak very good english when she first was discovered - I would even say I speak it better now and so does Glennis.

[MarklovesNina86]

Charice is Filipino and they have formal english educational system in fact Philippines is one of the largest english speaking nations in the world

[MarklovesNina86]

correct having a regional accent really affects someone's diction

[jorindeh]

She sings it excactly the same way Whitney Houston did... (look how she moves her arms) Well done, although Whitney's version was a little bit better!

[peacheslovesjesus]

No question, this sister can OBVIOUSLY sing....best ever?; opinions opinions....but she got a GREAT GOD GIVEN VOICE> Halelelujah!(sp)

[verwomel]

WOW....what can I say? Just ´wow´....... x a million times.... Truly best version ever!! You make me proud to be Dutch, Glennis!

[raigekimaru]

whoa... in the world of opera that is what you call a true lirico spinto soprano.

[natgab29]

youre definitely right - shes a lirico spinto soprano

[anouk12345678910]

wowwhh echt mooii x3

[iLisathewebshow]

geweldig!

Ik ben echt zo trots dat je dit hebt gezongen! :)

[Twirlcistematic]

You sing it girl ! And not even from the USA ! Love you since 1994 !

[lS4M3NTl]

Iff she will sing in her bathroom in her own house , I would probaly hear it in my room her voice is just amazing bigg! to bigg for this small counrty :D!

she should go to the states, she will get far there :)

[nathanaelll]

yes but Whitney was playbacking this song in the stadion...

[lemons82]

Whitney also sang it completely live and acapella at her Welcome Home Heroes concert and sounded just as amazing. Anyway, this girl is really good and is obviously a fan.

[Churros1616]

@nathanaelll they always playback the National Anthem at the stadium.. Because the acoustic is not made for live recordings.. But it still is live, just prerecorded!

[nathanaelll]

wow you did a good job!!

[aawillemsen]

Glennis je bent de beste uit Europa.

Jammer dat je nummer in 2005 niet goed was, nu hopelijk in de toekomst nog een keer en dan met een hele goede ballad naar het ESC!

Vraag John Ewbank voor je te schrijven dan komt het zeker goed.

[reknak]

@aawillemsen Zelf nummers schrijven kunnen ze idd niet. Dat kunnen alleen echt artiesten.

[dazulai]

Glennis, you're TOO big for Holland!!!!

[LilianOliveira]

whfan007 I totally AGREE with u!

[baz1000]

OMG

[lS4M3NTl]

OMG AMAZING VOICE!!!!!

[whfan007]

she copied whitney's classic version note to note, even the ending with raising the arms... lol but she has a very nice voice so well done!
