Is okay.... I prefer Justin's version because he hit some high notes simply listen to Justin sing bombs bursting and nick sing bomb bursting! Tells you that JT has better vocal ability!
He did better than I thought, but his voice is just not suitable for the anthem. I love him and the other boys, but it sounds a lot better when they harmonize and sing together. Still give him big props for going out there and doing it though!!
why can't people just sing the anthem the way its suppose to be without tweekin it like their on tryouts for American Idol. He's a good singer but not for this song.
i absolutely love nick carter and the backstreet boys but i do kinda agree with you.. i don't like when people change it. the national anthem should be sung how it is all the time!
his voice.... not made for a song like this...... not every voice can sing this song. and his is not 1 of them its not smooth at all its kinda ruins the song in a way. dont kill me nick fans im just being honest =/
i am a HUGE fan of the backstreet boys... i.e. nick...but you are right. his voice is not for this song...and i only listened to about 6 seconds of the song...
I love Nick and I know he's fantastic singer (through seeing him live a bunch of times & following his career for over 10 years), but this is not his best performance. I kind of cringed at certain parts TBH. He's much better at hitting the high notes when he sings the national anthem with BSB. Then again, this took place several years ago and he's learned to control his voice so much better now. This performance does not showcase his singing ability at all.
thats just the way he sings.. he has that roker boy type of voicee iittss oso originallt hat y i lovee him.. hes not straingin.. its just the way he has always sung b4
I'd say SomeMick34 is a bit jealous of Nick Carter!!! everyone has their own versions of how they sing the national anthem you wanker! he did amazing at the world series and was one of the stongest.Go Nick Carter you're great!!!!!!!!!!!
His voice sounds like crap...it's all gritty and he's straining to hit all the higher notes...weak....don't be such a BSB homer...be realistic...there's a billion better versions.....even when they do it as they did for the world series, he's the one who's the weakest link....goodbye.
I agree. This is one of the worst I've ever heard. His voice is not smooth at all. Its kind of a mix of cigarette rocker and boy band. It just doesn't work. And why is he wearing a jersey? Is he gonna put on some pads and hit someone? I doubt it....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hes supposed to be the performer. And this performance sucked. I usually love listening to him sing but this wasn't good. He screeched his way through the whole song. I can have an opinion. And if I want to post something that you don't agree with then tough shit.
"Sounds so amazing". Are you kidding me?? You didn't happen to hear all the squealing, such as on "o'er the RAAMparts we watched" and on "and the ROCKETS' red glare! The bombs bursting in air". Please, give me a break. Once I buy a videocamera, I'll show YOU how this is supposed to be sung!!
If you think he sounds amazing, then you have a bad taste in music! He DID squeal on "ramparts", "and the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air." And if you don't think he did, please go get some Q-tips and clean out your ears.
Even the 8-year-old kid Anthony Gargiula can sing this better than Nick!! You people can thumb-down my comments all you want, but listen to Anthony 1st, and then come back and thumb-down my comments, lol!
I don't think singing the beloved SS Banner should be a competition by any means. BUT I seriously claim that I can do a much better job than Nick here at singing our National Anthem. I mean, all of Nick's squealing makes this video hard to listen to. The problem is that I DO NOT have a videocamera--otherwise I would've made a video of myself singing the SS Banner a very long time ago.
He squeals too much! He squeals on "ramparts", on "and the home of the...", and on many other parts. If I had a videocamera, I would show ALL of you how our SS Banner is supposed to be done.
I think people just enjoy giving thumb-down comments for no reason. Youtube doesn't allow people to put only positive comments. Everybody is free to say what they think or feel about videos. I wish peope could just realize that comments ar not supposed to be only positive because with negative comments like these ones who knows maybe he might see them one day and do better next time and not disappoint his fans.
I agree--underneath the fancy dance moves, the flashy wardrobe, and the hyped-up music, Nick Carter has yet to prove that he has a good voice. All of his squealing throughout this video makes it PAINFUL to listen to.
Go Nick!! Awesome! Takes a lot to even attempt to sing that song! To all of you who said it wasn't good...can you sing that song even half as well as Nick did? Probably not.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dear God, make him stop. I'm going back to Justin timberlake's version to recover from this one. This is a as bad as Keyshia cole's attempt at a gospel song.
I think he tried to rock out on this song. I know his voice can be more mellow than this. I wish he would've sang it with a little more soul instead force. But I give him credit for going out there on his own. Awesome job Nick!
nick! love him (even tho aj's my fave) but i really don't think this is a song he should sing. personally my opinion is that aj and brian would be awesome at doing this one b/c well i think overall, they'r the best vocalists in the group. nick has a cute voice but it just doesn't mix well w/this type of serious song. he did good tho b/c afterall, it IS a difficult one.
yea i agree with you so much!! nick shouldnt sing this song... when brian sings itsomg its beautiful!! but this isnt a good song for nick to sing!! and yea i think aj would be amazing singing this song!!
Not defending him, but the Star Spangled Banner is NOT easy to sing. It's rythm and meter are irregular and an octave range is tough, even for practiced musicians. But he is rough on this.
his voice gives me cold chills. i love him ♥
