Deborah Cox - O Canada

[philip0460]

@valma1208

I am an American citizen, and I'm afraid I have to agree. You are a more loving, progressive caring society. You have gay marriage, universal health care, and a less racist society. Some day we will be as free as you wonderful people!

[jm423]

@nooyawkfun You have issues... She has a great voice!

[Hunger4Power]

why are they all black ??

[CookyMonzta]

I never saw the beginning of the 2001 NBA All-Star Game, and I've been looking for a videoclip of Deborah singing the Canadian anthem anywhere. HOTT DAYUM!!! That was fantastic! Can we get her to Dallas to do it again for the 2010 All-Star Game?

I'm from NYC, and I must say that CanadianBoy40 and MissDirection are right. The reason Canadians are annoyed with us is because of the perception that we treat Canada like our stepchild, rather than the independent country that they are.

[saluck1]

Yay im from Canada Alberta,Calgary:).

[hotblueyed]

@saluck1 I am from Calgary, Alberta as well. Great city, born and raised

[rwren2002]

Deborah Cox is FINE !

[nooyawkfun]

Love the anthem, but she has an absolutely horrendous voice. I think Canada is a beautiful country.

[canadianboy40]

Stop fighting everybody. Canada and the United States rely on eachother for survival. Im a Canadian citizen, and an American Citizen, the shit really isnt that bad, so get over yourselves, and worry about worse things, say, millions of children starving everyday in africa.

[missdirection]

@canadianboy40 plus, Canada is an awesome country that has pretty much never done anything to anyone. anyone with anything bad to say about Canada is just an idiot.

[Kizuishaskittle]

no we dont think your idoits because your differnt or everybody would be an idioit to canadians we think americans are diiots fromt he exuses of attacking invadeing INSULTING putting lower down countrys its not a poor ass exuse of a country plus the fact u get 60% of canadian shit from us so... u should check it out u dont get it from any other countrys but us we are the most tradeing parnterns to eatch other we need eatcher just for survival so i wouldent say much

[Leyah2552]

I am an American and yes we are two different countries and need to stay that way... I love your county mean absolutely love it plan to move there and attend school however you can not disrespect America because like you said we are different..

[canadianlover11]

awesome

[eldano]

voice cracked at 1:13 :S

[Ghommie]

over it

[robertjohnson487]

The United States guarantees the stability and prosperity the world has. Canada should be part of the United States, instead of a second rate world player, so that the U.S. could better utilise Canada's resources to this end. The two countries never should have been separated into two entities. We have the same culture. Canada should become part of the United States in the interest of a better world. I mean this in all seriousness.

[brittishnmichael]

She sang that Anthem... Do it Deborah Cox!

[fcukxyoux]

We Canadians ROCKS!

[sweetlikez]

amen!

[ciarra06283]

i love u Deborah!

[NebHusk90]

I love when somebody sings the Canadian Nat Anthem "and" knows the words!...It's just a respect thing...Whether it's the US or Canada..."we stand on guard for thee"

[legitshit]

I'm so proud to be canadian.

Everyone loves us.

[GodzChild007]

True ...but DONT get cocky...or we will get more international haters than GeorgeW.Bush

GOD KEEP OURLAND GLORIOUS AND FREE!!

[kevnar]

As you've just proven, Canadian IQs are on average at least 15 points higher. The only reason you're more powerful is that you have more people, paying more taxes, to buy more weapons. But if it were gun for gun, the average Canadian soldier would kick your asses.

No offense. But it's a historical fact.

[jadedgreen13]

LOL. yes. :D

[ihavtugo]

actually no. Try actually looking it up. Love Canada but not idiots like you.

[AllanM1989]

ur idiot....

Canada is a great country just like the USA

[timentwa32]

not even close your country is weak U.S.A could take them eney day

[GodzChild007]

UHH WERE ALLIES!! your igmorance is astounding Obama would be ashamed EH(LOL jus thought id through thateh rite in there)

[harrysayerschica]

canada rules.

[Maxie1111]

Canada stopped WW3 from happening by solving the Suez Crises and got the Nobel Peace Prize for it through Lester B. Person. Not bad for a country that won 2 World Wars. God bless Canada!

[musoph21]

that heffa know she can sang!

[ciarra06283]

yes LORD!

[aeroman18]

Oh goodness! I thought it was just a trill that she made as I was singing along with her. :D

[fropen]

her 2008 version is more solid- over the top, but damn good...

[atomicbolt]

Where the hell did they get that flag? It's demented looking! The stem's too long and the bottom flares out for some reason, seriously, look at the bottom section of the leaf on that flag and look at a regular Canadian flag. How could you buy a flag that hangs above an NBA arena and somehow buy a wrong version?

[onemin1986]

lol

[jlenaghan]

She has lost weight since this performance.

[tustles]

Great video Great voice Happy Birthaday Canada For Tues July 1st and all Proud Canadians KTF

[hisgurl8648]

one thing i like about canada there is no race division everyone is the same..

[Alexanadu]

did she break on "keep?" 1:13. it sounded funny.

[anthonysprott]

my favorite national anthem. it's simple to the point and everybody can sing it. I personally think the us should have "america the beatiful" as it's national anthem.

[zstratus]

There are less references to god in the Star Spangled Banner than America the Beautiful, but Star Spangled Banner definitely sucks and is really hard to remember. However, the problem with this national anthem is that the original one is the French version. This is a simpleton "translation" for the English speakers, but the tune and the anthem was originally written in French.

[MrRealandreal]

Canada has the best national anthem.

[zavey45]

VERY TRUE we are clean and we dont cut down trees every day... we have the worlds tallest free standing bulding we have big citys we love the world.. and we hate war... god belss canada and usa!

[MrTantraMan]

I hate to break this to you but we HAD the world's tallest free standing building and that honour is bestowed by the Burj Dubai.

[Maxie1111]

We enjoyed the record for so long, it doen't matter anymore here of "who's got the tallest building". We have achieved better then that of what you guys have, look up our history.

[frank2368]

lol canada is like denmark of america. pretty good economy, but usually ignored by everybody

btw i am canadian

[quebecois2011]

no you suck

[quebecois2011]

no you suck

[quebecois2011]

no you suck

[SpicherJung89]

way too slow

[queenMamaRoux]

WOW! that gave me the chills and brought a tear to my eye!

[cinepie]

BIG BOOOTY

[quebecois2011]

Oh, and deborah cox is a famous Canadian R&B singer! ( in reponse to whoever asked) I'm sure you've heard her songs and just didn't know who it was.. might i suggest wikipedia?

[quebecois2011]

yeahh! that sounds so pretty:) It doesn't really matter where she lives now, shes still a Canadian. You can so tell she is too because americans always mess up our anthem by singing it way off-beat, and too fast. she did a beautiful job!

[carterfactor]

Eva Avila version still owns, but this was great. It's a little slow but that last note she nailed.

[smoothben11]

its CANADA lol NOT!! KNATAAAAA OMG...

[KMO325]

This sounded beautifully. Didn't know that Deboroah Cox was Canadian.

[Neyo85]

I don't know. At risk of being unpopular I have to say she was a bit off pitch, flat and under pitch for a lot of this song. Didn't like it. But I love Deborah I know she can do better.

[motplove]

She was great on Sunday's All-Star game. Encore :)

[ProudToBeCanadian1]

Never forget,this anthem came from a french canadian from Quebec Province:Calixa Lavallée.

All parts of Canada as far the Rockies Mountains were french,la Nouvelle-France and most parts in USA like Louisiana,Pittsburg,Detroit,et­c...in Ontario,Toronto etc...

This year is the 400th anniversary for the first city in North America:Quebec City 1607-2007

Proud to be québécois also.

This anthem must be sing in french first.

Some respect for Calixa Lavallée and french canadians.

[chau87]

if im not mistaken antonio davis was singing the anthem lol

[EhpoliceGuy]

ok but they set fire to the white house.

[murphy3162]

It wasn't the White House, uneducated fool. It was the President's mansion that they burned. When we rebuilt it, they painted it white. Thusly, the White House. And yeah, they burned the White House. But that was the BRITISH. Not the CANADIANS. The Canadians never went that far south, they just protected their own border.

[JohnPurvis]

Wrong the White House was painted white in 1798 when it was built and it was the White House that the Canadians burned to the group. Although the troops were British they were made up of Canadian militias. In 1939 a Canadian man returned a jewellery box his grandfather had taken from the whitehouse. The Canadians also set fire to building housing the Senate and the Congress. The US treasury and many other buildings were burned as well.

[mcairborne82]

You rebuilt it? Damn you're old.

[wgseagal]

she sang great  and she looks cute great job debra.

[murphy3162]

also bagged milk

[MaiBeyblader]

The same to you. America had to promise to pay to get us to leave, but it hasn't paid yet (to my knowledge. It might have changed). Still, no surprise.

[bikerguy13]

well done. Go Canada

[HumaPeace]

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee =)

[tmb132000]

Yes, Ms. Cox, very well done. The Canadian anthem is soo much more classy than the American... (and I'm an american)

[kieranfletch]

UK is a dump it has crap hospitals and is full of people who talk a load of mince and think their right they all dress funny drink to much and hate foreigners and have racial problems thats why im ashamed to live here no matter what people say Scotland is a dump and who would actually live in the highlands its EMPTY for christs sake.

All i want is to make a differnce its called Christian Vocation (im cathloic)

[kieranfletch]

why do people hate Canada so much go on convice me tell me why because if you cant you shouldnt say bad things about it

[12we3r]

O say can you see is the best song in the world USA ALL THE WAY!!!!! WE Rock canada is a big wimp

[ShallowBoi]

Beautiful! GO Canada!

[Xgirl81]

Canada is the best country in the world. I love my country

[ziyou1969]

Deborah Cox, you rock! Keep up the singing. You made my day.

[zstratus]

Canada is much better than the U.S. If I told you why, you would all be rushing to move up there, so I'll just keep it a secret so it stays nice and serene up there when I finally get around to moving there. As far as Deborah Cox goes, great voice and great talent.

[nlpjohn]

Canada has one of the world's best national anthems. Great music with great lyrics. BUT....you can keep you socialists workers paradise.

[AmericanPatriot92GBA]

Actually Canada is alot worse than the U.S. maybe if you would have said Ireland I would have believed you but no you said Canada lol now I guess I could KIND OF agree to that but Canada is nothing special not like Ireland or the United Kingdom btw the Irish National Anthem is the best go check it out.

[al3xse]

Omg, seriously you dont have a clue.The United kingdom sucks, the quailty of life is awful and its full of chav's(from personal experience, i used to live there)Canada and the US are far better.

[JohnMichaels20]

yea but ur currency is awesome? how do u not live awesome there?

[guychicken]

Great singer.

[EhpoliceGuy]

She is so great Obama in 08...

[nina416]

she tried to spice up a little too much

[XTBounty]

DochSchneider, your comment about black people is totally racist and should not be on YouTube.

As far as the quality of Deborah Cox's voice in this video (which I think we should be commenting instead of trashing Canada), she sings way out of tune. Ms. Cox tries to belt out a great rendition of the national anthem of our neighbor to the north, but falls far short. She is pretty, but does not sing in tune!

[saltandpepper]

LOL, Its funny, but not really appropriete from this...now shh! x

[laffytaffy0720]

i just moved to Canada and i have to say it has the nicest ppl. i think im gonna love living here

[artgal80]

What's the point of her singing that anthem? I hate to say this but she doesn't live in Canada anymore.

[ChristianAllen]

but she's still a canadian citizen...it doesn't matter where she lives now.

[ical84]

Simply stunning. She gave it her all. And she delivered. A few pitches here and there but very minor. But in the end she killed it.

[skrivbok]

My dad has cousins in Vancouver :)

[dinoomk]

CANADA & MACEDONIA= FRIENDS!

Bravo for Canada!

Macedonia LOVES YOU!

Thank you for calling us by our name MACEDONIA!

[GraafschapThooly]

I like her version better than Shania's. Surprising considering I'm a big Shania fan...but this girl does a beautiful job.

[BrownMan8]

O Canada! Proud to be a Canadian!

[SlyJuno]

Je suis fier d'être canadien. C'est le meilleur pays dans le monde.

[MaxCreations]

Go Canada! You're home and Native land!

from the United Kingdom

[jfhaight2]

The French and English are different. It was written by a Quebecois named Calixa Lavallee who fought on the Union side in the US Civil War, and who based it on the March of the Priests from Mozart's Magic Flute. Listen to the Mozart, and you will hear O Canada. No wonder it sounds good.

[MusicalHeart88]

Did ya know...

Did ya know that the English version and the French version are totally different???

[MusicalHeart88]

I use to hate this anthem. Everyday hearing it every morning. But I like it now.

[SWAT518]

u have to listen to the anthem every morning? is it like how we americans say the pledge in school every morning?

im american, but i must admit that friendly dudes to the north have great anthem. except when the person singing it has to hold out every fudging note for 5 hours!!!! but w/e, ppl do that for our anthem too. still very anoying...

[MusicalHeart88]

ya. We listen to the Canadian anthem every morning at school for elementry and high school. Y'all say the pledge. Same difference.

[magicsitck9916]

I concur....sometimes I wish i was there...besides...where I am, they make us say the pledge, and sing the anthem....No offense to my classmates, or anything, but they cannot sing.... I swear you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a cat wanting to murder someone for wetting it...(that's putting it lightly in the least)

[hara001]

haha not in quebec we don't listen to it.

[saltandpepper]

Celine all the way :) x

[spookykooky]

The Canadian Anthem is the most melodic sounding Anthem in the world. I love it.

[Joelsas1]

canada is AWESOME!!!

THANKS CANADA, I HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE THERE!

[daveholm]

Some rough patches but that last note was awesome. Whitney-esque.

[tightvers2]

phhh she forgot the FRench Part!!!

[MusicalHeart88]

no she didn't.

[skrivbok]

I fell in love with this anthem the first time I heard it. It is just so beautiful! And it might be my new home one day ^^

[kumike80]

Um, she is not American, she is from Toronto, Ontario. Not only that, the announcer clearly states that.

[Dedicednu]

I was talking about me, you idiot

[Recreant456]

Look at that.

Even Larry Brown is impressed!

Nice job, Deborah.

:)

[jbird46]

Excellent and well done Deborah.

ô Canada our home and native land true patriot love in all thy sons command with glowing hearts we see thee rise the True North strong and free from far and wide ô Canada we stand on guard for thee God keep our land glorious and free ô Canada we stand on guard for thee ô Canada we stand on guard for thee. (Anthem written in French and translated in English.)

[trodlabal]

ô Canada terre de nos aïeuls ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux car ton bras sait porter l'épée il sait porter la croix ton histoire est une épopée des plus brillants exploits et ta valeur de foix trempée protégera nos foyers et nos droits protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
