  • Listening to this, I feel like holy crap- I'm an American. All the great achievements and history and culture and quality of life, its amazing and surreal to really think that I am lucky enough to call this my country and home.

  • on of the most beautiful songs about one of the worst countries on the planet.

  • @Regenmacher175 Deal with it. loser.

  • @dlrunner121 I have no problem dealing with it. Gives me a good laugh every time someone pleads his allegiance to the US. It's a good thing to know you're pursuing the Truth without being distracted by abstract notions and symbols.

  • Why can't this be our national anthem?

  • Great rendition. But lol you put a lot of British soldiers in the video dude. Getting out of the landing craft 1:53 and every thing from the guy with the Saw to the guys raising the Flag at Okinawa at 1:58. But im probably going over board lol. Seriously, nice song and video. I think this would be good as our National Anthem.

  • Best rendition I've heard. Salute.

  • God bless you America

  • God bless you all, American friends :D

  • Jingoistic Crap. There is no America anymore. Try living in any of the cities, Newark, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Detriot, Baltimore, Cleveland, LA, NY, Milwaukee, Denver, etc, etc. The infrastructure is crumbling, the economy is third rate. What's left are many factions of race, ethnicity and class. A future of a civil war among theml. As many say the land was stolen from the Native Americans so they will gain it again but as a burned out hulk, depleted of resources that will be millenia to rebuild.

  • What a truly wonderful rendition of my favorite patriotic song! Congratulations on a job more than well done!

  • mexico is more beautiful well if you can look pass all the killing and stuff but aside from that is a nice place. oh and theirs tacos

  • ¡a las barricadas compañeros! contra el enemigo capitalista!

  • God Bless America!

  • The four people who "dislike" this need their head examined due to the fact they can't realize that this i a BEUTIFUL song sung by the best choir ever.

  • A lovely video and song from an appreciative Brit.

  • @mediacityuk1 and America appreciates our British brethren across the pond!

  • I am proud to call this place my home.

  • hi my nesy friend sang this song after she sang it she died

  • The true and light of Jesus Christ lead America !

  • Beautiful! Where are the Indians (Native Americans)? Remember the first and original Americans?

  • @VenusBlue4u Before the Indians, there were the T-Rexes...nobody OWNS anything, it is just evolution. Great song, superb version !

  • @nazgulero Are you saying we evolved from T-Rexes? :)

  • @VenusBlue4u I am saying we evolved from T-Rexes ;)

  • me and my bro are practicing this song in choir..

  • proud asian american sings america please take a look

  • Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you for posting. 

  • @ligergirl123 Then take this opportunity to think through what you have said more clearly.

  • @ligergirl123 America's troops have fought for "our freedom" in decades! In virtually all of our lifetimes US troops have fought for imperialism and domination of others. Not only don't I support your statement I am appalled by it.

  • The defniton of beauty and wonder, God bless America the most wonderful country on the planet

  • Hard to find a traditional rendition of this beautiful song nowadays. Thanks, MTC.

  • If you want a song or hymn sung right - give it to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to sing.

  • Comment removed

  • @LeeGeorge08 that's because the youth of today doesn't appreciate what it took to make America. They just like the fact that their parents have jobs, and some of them a**holes get everything they want. What is wrong with the youth of America today!!!!

  • The Mormon Tabernacle choir impressed this young man in 1962 at the age of nine.

  • I like this some what more than the star spangled banner. It really gets to me every time I listen to America the Beautiful :,)

  • How do magnets work?

  • Greetings from sweden!

  • It never gets old, even after decades of remixes, the original always gets me!

  • god bless u guys

  • This is a beautiful rendition of this song! :)

  • and may America remember what made Her so deserving of those blessings and through her original character reclaim them again and again.

  • Happy 4th of July! May God continue to bless America...

  • The Mormon Tabernacle Choir...the world's best !

    God Bless America !

    Happy Fourth of July !

    Greetings from Brazil !

  • What a beautiful version of this great song....thanks for sharing it

  • All so swell and nice... until you remember what the Mormons are currently doing to deny the freedoms of so many Americans. Tom Jefferson is rolling in his grave!

  • @MegaRobin321 Tom Jefferson doesn't give a crap. Tom Jefferson was for state's rights. Prop 8 was a state issue, the people of California voted for it. That's the way America is supposed to work, no matter how many activist judges tell you otherwise.

  • @MegaRobin321 I feel sorry for you. Have you considered a brain transplant?

  • I've heard a lot of renditions of this wonderful song but nobody does it better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Happy Fourth of July, everybody!

  • like this if you'd like to see this Great song be our new National Anthem. The Star Spangled banner is.... well "hard" to sing and is quite, quite old. America the Beautiful, in my own opinion is a MUCH more fitting song to this Grand and Beautiful country.

  • OMG!!! that was the most moving video about America, and trust me, I have seen the a lot of videos of America. God Bless America!!!!

  • Oh and why does it only have pictures of USA.

  • @imAcowMoo100 No one really refers to the North American continent,really. When you hear "America" most everyone thinks of the U.S., not the whole continent.

  • When I'm older I'm moving to Canada it looks so beautiful. But not USA, I don't know about you but in Australia USA has a very bad name.

  • God Bless America

    ~HM3 (FMF) Cullen

  • Also wow... 2:14 is a truly amazing picture.

  • Why is there religious pictures? What does Jesus have to do with this song?

  • @cutter14 I'm not sure exactly, but my guesses would be because 1. Most Americans identify themselves as Christians, 2. Our laws are based off of Judeo-Christian laws, or 3. America was founded for religious freedom and opportunity (although other religions should be represented if this is the case since America is a "Melting Pot"). I'm a Christian, but I believe that the unity of the American community comprised of many religions is one thing that makes America great! :D

  • Excellent...

  • @ihavtugo You sound like some arrogant 18-year-old who joined the Army Reserve and thinks he's done something great. Pipe down and stop trolling.

  • America! America! God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood

    From sea to shining sea!

    GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HER ALLIES!

  • Seems to be Moraine Lake of Banff National Park, Alberta at 2:40...

  • @ihavtugo So if you haven't served this country you should hate it? No...

  • It isn't just America is beautiful (it Is) but freedom is beautiful! God bless America and All who believe in freedom!

  • @fender1955 I agree with you, this song and baskground pictures are also beautiful. Arakihx

  • @fender1955 Yes, freedom is beatiful, but this music and background film is also beautiful. arakihx

  • America! AMERICA!!! FROM SEAS TON SHINGING SEA!!!!!!!!!!!

  • God bless The USA and Israel

  • God Bless the U.S.A. and the world, may peace one day truly prevail.

  • Frontdesk99, we're not army-obsessed, we're just thankful we have such a great one to defend us and our interests.

  • Replace the Star Spangled Banner with this. Maybe if we replace the word "God" with "We". We're supposedly secular, after all.

  • @IJUSTLOVETURTLES I dissagree about changing the anthem. Perhaps it should be done though, as this is 100%American. Where as the Star Spangled Banner was written to a British tune's melody. We are not supposedly secular. That's on an individual basis of liberty as we have no state religion and no statute promoting secularism either. Removing God would be redundant, as the word appears in both tunes. You just never hear the other three verses of the Star Spangled Banner at major events.

  • @joker52mlb we were still british colonies when the star spangled banner (the poem) was written. it was later adapted to music that was, while british, already quite well known and liked in the colonies. The poem itself is as american as you can get being as it was written during a battle for our independence. Just because they set it a popular tune at the time (which was very common practice) is no reason to disqualify it as a national anthem.

  • @munkeeone Well said.

  • @munkeeone The star spangled banner was written during the war of 1812.

  • @munkeeone well no, but if you go around listening to national anthems, its not a powerful or inspiring tune, and the words are somewhat bland (today!) and hardly inspire much. Frankly this in my opinion (as a non american) is more grand, appropriate to a large and respected nation.

  • I want everyone of you who have cursed and used profanity towards others in here, to listen to that last line in this song. Stop hating people just because they disagree with you, or saying something that you disagree with, regarding them. What the devil is wrong with people in this country, that they have to use profanity in their vocabulary, now? The only people who talked like this years ago were hoods and troublemakers. I guess that says a lot for morals, eh?

  • @IwshIcldstrtover 50 States, 1 Country, 1 Love

  • @Fillistar

    Always forgetting our lovely territories... *sigh*

  • @Fillistar Thats what the other 6 coins are for

  • This song still makes me cry, very hard, especially hearing a huge choir, like this singing it. We used to sing this in the mornings before class started, in grade school. Do they even do this nowadays, or has this too, been banned, because God is mentioned in it? God please save us.

  • Thank you PW, beautifully done!! Thanks for sharing....

  • I love America:)

  • What a beautiful song, for a beautiful country (from France!)

  • This was so beautiful, it made me cry!!! I thank GOD I was born in America!!! GOD bless America my home-sweet home!!!

  • @WickedLady2010

    If you had read the latest Time Magazine article, its in decline. So don't bother.

  • this looks like fucking canada,

    yall stole our land eh.

  • I would gladly petition this to be the National Anthem.

  • God Bless the United States of America, my home sweet home for life, and the greatest country in the world, love the USA lots.

  • Who and the hell is the 1 person who dislikes this????

  • Wow, that was beautiful. This is definitely better than The Star-Spangled Banner. America the Beautiful describes how America truly is. Free.

    P.S. I'm Canadian

  • @Pally3200 unless you consider 72% of the country is literally owned by foreign interest, its a sad and sobering thought !

  • I cried I cant help its to beutifal for words.

  • Thank God for USA's military strength....We have done the blessed thing to free other nations from tyrants, and to keep ourselves free. God has certainly blessed us.

  • Why the hell does EVERYTHING about your country have to be about THE TROOPS? Why is it ALWAYS about fighting, war, death? Why can't you just say you love your country without dragging the military into EVERYTHING? You have so much to be proud of, the US of A is (in my view) the greatest country in the world, the most beautiful place to live, but it's so sad the inhabitants are so army-obsessed!!!

  • @Frontdesk99 There are reason for being, without them our land is vulnerable to those who wish to destroy us.

  • @brainiac492 and you stand for idiot, so which shithead euro country are you from? to be jealous of america is simply so european of you.

    But hey have fun with that socialism of yours over there buddy.

  • @patrick91145 The call us racist because they have no understanding of free will

  • 2:14 wow....beautiful image. Most of all Vietnam vets feel wronged because of what happened when they came back and the politics there of and stuff, not going into details. But showing how many feel guilty and the others consoleing him, is really something. America really needs to wake back up...

  • Exellent

  • Beautiful country created by the fingerprints of God. Proud to be an American.

  • I hate niggers jews beaners and arabs!!!

    If you don't like that then you don't like the first amendment and you hate america

  • @thedude77771 That such a beautiful hymn could be sullied by such sentiments and twisted logic is so sad,

    hate away my friend its a free country , only some day I hope you will be set free and liberated from your prison of hate.

  • @xigibzzqqi You are a disgrace.

  • "America The Beautiful" Mormon Tabernacle Choir

  • God has blessed us so much, I'm am not of the Mormon denomonation, but anyone of any belief can see just how God has given us so much that it is hard to comprehend. Today, just think to yourself, "I could be a poverty striken African, or a restricted man living in Asia. We are SO BLESSED in America that it is overlooked. Never evertake life for granted and live it fir the glory of God because like is short but God is forver and he will forgive you no matter what you have done! :)

  • @moddexstudios aww, amen to that :)

  • @moddexstudios An American who appreciates his land is a good American.

  • @moddexstudios I would not go on talking about god, just saying I disagree with what you are saying I have no belief in god nor will I ever believe. No man can control what we do, only we can forgive ourselves for our own sins, I want no hate mail, I have the freedom to say what I like so do you, I respect that. But just please don't go around saying such things.

  • @ligergirl123 Or Sister

  • @ligergirl123 AMEN, Brother

  • LONG LIVE AMERICA! a glorious nation for 234 years!

    happy veteran's day to all!

  • by 2:15 i was in tears. while i do not believe in this God. this song still brings me such a great feeling!!

  • America The Beautiful Sign Off KNBC TV Channel 4 Los Angles

  • How blessed we are to have our children born in this country (3:13) . A country that will defend and protect them, and whose righteousness shall always come from God.

  • So beautiful. I wish this could be our National Anthem instead of the Star Spangled Banner. I like the message better and it is easier to sing, not crossing several octaves. I haven't been home for a year and a half. God Bless America!

  • AMERICA AMERICA GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THY AND CROWN THAT GOOD WITH BROTHERHOOD FROM SEA TO SHINNING SEA.

  • I can watch and listen to this 1000 times. You're more than a patriot..........God Bless America.

  • I want to be American I mean Canada's nice and all but it just doesn't have patriotism like this.

  • @Jaypwn101 Canada IS part of America!!!

  • @bigworf No. Canada is part of North America.

  • I wont pretend my country is perfect, the politicians have disgraced its greatness and the intent of its founders, but along with its faults, its always the first and many times only country to respond when there is a call for food and medicine, or a call to defend others who are oppressed. We have given much in money, aid and lives to other countrys who dont even appreciate it once they get what they want. Now we are being eviscerated from within by our own leaders, and its our own fault.

  • so tell me, what does it mean, that a dying woman sends me this...sorry to post so much.

  • God bless America, I wish someday I can return to America and see its true value, the land of the free and the home of the brave, rather than the home of the cowards and the land of the oppressed.

  • @georgehalo123 yeah, the cowards that suit up in uniform everyday instead of spending time with their families just so ungrateful bastards like you can safely troll on youtube.....no ones making you stay in the US, you can take the first flight out to this "real country "you speak of. what counrty do you even consider better any way?

  • @canttakemyid Thanks for that - im 51 and remember when we used to sing the anthem and such in school every single day and noone ever said a word against it. I am becoming an angry american, we have allowed our politicians to subvert our traditions and cripple the consititution to please whining liberals and immigrants that come here for the wrong reasons. Our leaders have failed us for the most part, now its up to us to take back our traditions and freedoms. We have a lot of work to do.

  • @yambo59 I agree. We don't need politicians who hold their own in country in deep contempt, like the current Senate and Barack Obama. They are a disgrace to Freedom and to what made America great.

    I'm a US Citizen (born in the Philippines) but I love America, very much!

    God Bless the USA

  • @MsDiesIrae9 I refer you to your ugly disposition, and your ignorant ability to respond to anything without the use of vulgar language. You have NO intelligent response, so you just respond with useless verbage that comes from your mouth, which should be labelled an ass. I have no idea how anyone can kiss you, knowing that your mouth is mainly, just a rectum spouting feces

  • Mormon Tabernacle Choir America The Beautiful Sign Off KNBC TV Channel 4  Los Angeles

  • @MsDiesIrae9 I refer you to my response to vinya.

  • @jeri4579 "Crown thy good with brotherhood..."

    LOL look at your response, and then crown thy good with what it deserves. You deny the freedom you have, and soon, you will give that away, too. He who gives a bit of liberty for a bit of security, gets, and receives, neither. Ben Franklin

  • I will be forever grateful for being born in America. I have been all over this world and seen "what could be." God has certainly shed His Grace upon us.

    Thank you Lord.

  • I'm from Italy and i will not end to bless and thanks The US for the rescue they give us against Nazism and Comunism!! Thank you so mutch.......America!!!

  • My country is not perfect

    My country is not without flaws

    But my country is my home

    It has made me who i am today

    I Love my country

    america forever

  • GOD BLESS THIS UNIQUE NATION. AMERICA WAS NOT MY CRADDLE BUT IS THE NATION I RESPECT AND LOVE AS MUCH AS AN AMERICAN. I AM A BRAZILIAN, BUT AMERICA IS IN MY HEART, SOUL, SPIRIT. AND I AM PROUD TO SAY IT!!!! ILOVE USA!!!!

  • @xxTeXaS14xx What you did, was NOT listen to the founding fathers, ie., when Thomas Jefferson said, "A little revolution now and then is a good thing." And Ben Franklin said, "He who give up a little freedom for a little security, gets, and deserves, NEITHER." That's what you did. That's what Americans fail to understand. We are a nation of Liberty, NOT of state worship. Patriotism??? What the HELL is that? A virtue of the vicious. I do NOT love my country, it is only lines on a map.

  • It is really strange that Americans believe in tossing out those who do not believe in worship of the state. They, the ignorant ones, always say, Love it or Leave it, forgetting the words of their founding fathers: "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Patrick Hale.

  • @georgehalo123 George, do NOT waste your time responding to an Americanized media robot such as rimrider1818.  People like him obviously do NOT know what America is about. This song is very beautiful, and people like him need to really listen to it, rather than spout their media induced prejudices about what they have been told is the truth. Carpe Diem, my friend.

  • @georgehalo123 Y'know Patrick Hale just might

    change his opinion if he saw the mass of people

    coming here to take advantage of every little thing

    they can get their hands on but do nothing but

    complain because they have to work for it. There

    are now those that cry "poor me", take unfair advantage and use

    our laws against us

  • What song am I after, something with a mountain range rather, the Rockies? I though this was it. Purple something? Think a woman sang it...

  • @SEAL1944 You aren't even a Mor[m]on but you're defending Mor[m]on bigotry? You're not only the only idiot here, you're so fucking stupid you can be duped by the lies of a loser cult. How does it feel to be that fucking stupid?

  • America the Beautiful [performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ]

  • @SEAL1944 Don't assume things you don't know, you fucking loser. BTW, you really need to go see your bishop now and confess that you swore on YouTube. Fucking loser.

  • @NavySEAL1942 Wow, lots of Mor[m]on bigots named "SEAL" here. I used to be a Mor[m]on too. Then I opened my eyes and saw that it's just another stupid useless cult started by a con man whose only reason for doing so was so he could get free p*ssy. Thirty-four, to be exact, eleven of whom were already married to other men at the time.

  • @SEAL1944 : Nice try but you can't lie that easily. If the Mor[m]ons simply "don't believe in homosexuality" then why do they forcefully assert themselves in opposing every piece of civil rights legislation in favor of the LGBT community? Why does the cult operate electroshock clinics attempting to "rehabilitate" LGBT members? Why do Mor[m]ons excommunicate and shun LGBT family? Your bland denials can not whitewash your cult's overt bigotry and hatred of LGBT humans.

  • America! America!

    God shed his grace on thee

    And crown thy good with brotherhood

    From sea to shining sea!

  • A wonderful video. A great reminder of what is here, if we will see it. How blind of us if we do not see what others saw and knew and acted upon. Our actions and attitudes about America is like our vote which will add or subtract from that precious bank of people who love freedom not only for themselves but for others as well.

  • Oh the irony!

    This great American song was written by Katharine Lee Bates, a professor of English literature at Wellesley, and proud 19th century lesbian. Her relationship with Katharine Coman, founder of the Wellesley College Economics department, lasted twenty-five years (until Coman's death) and was recognized by all their peers.

    It's amazing isn't it, that Mormons, who hate and despise LGBT people so much that they seek to deprive us of our rights, would sing a song written by a lesbian?

  • @flattopSF That's probably one of the most interesting fun facts I've read in a youtube comment. Even if it's not true(I don't know one way or the other) it's funny as hell.

  • @diovan6 LOL! Thx, diovan6. Every last word of it is true.

    p.s.: I loved your Geo. Carlin redux.

  • @JunkyardWinnebago Maybe you should learn to SPELL

    America before you judge it. Easy to see why this was

    flagged as sub-human spam. 

  • @ThatGuyWhoSucksBoobz No, I'm under the impression that you're an asshole.

  • LOL random fact mountains aren't actually purple :P

    Still an epic song tho :D

    Happy 4th peoplez

  • @ThatGuyWhoSucksBoobz You forgot to mention - we also have airlines that offer one way tickets to anywhere the world. Buy one. If you can't afford one, I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to help.

    Go to the capitol of any other country. Then go to the part of town with the embassies. The American embassy is the one with the razor wire and the long line.

  • @ThatGuyWhoSucksBoobz Great, and you'll get no respect in return.
