Mariah Carey - Star Spangled Banner (pre-recorded)

[ImTheDogTheBigFatDog]

I know this is amazing, but it's fact that she lip synced - theres a vid of her singing this at some race-car race and it is identical to this. It is pre-recorded. no affects or changes, they just sing into a dead mic incase they make a mistake. It's proven whitney did to. It doesnt bother me, I still think they're amazing, but people who are saying it is live are actually wrong :)

[boggsman26]

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[patipatou79]

Haters always claim that Whitney and Mariah lipped at their live performances because fact prove that both stay unreachable vocally either in studio or on stage ! This Mariah's version is with Whitney's the 2 best live renditions of the Star Spangled Banner ever !

[15PhenomenoN]

prerecorded or not, this was freakin ammmazing

[pedy19]

She sung this version live :p

[pedy19]

it is live though

[ColdDecemberNight]

I'm not even American and I listen to their national anthems. It's actually quite nice.

[babiphat20]

theres no proof if it was prerecorded or not...show me that. Either way its her fuckin voice, and she sounds great

[hbomb2704]

the whistle register gave it away

[BrettBrand]

NOT IN MA STATE BITCH

[wildemariah]

FOR THE LAND OF THE ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!­!!!!!!! darn it I can't do that!

[zblamm2121]

Whitney and Mariah..IT WILL ALWAYS BE THEM TWO :)

[wiscpatriots]

Mariah's version may or may not be pre-recorded and it is a good version but doesn't compare to Whitney's version which IS NOT pre-recorded. Both women have excellent voices.

[patipatou79]

This amazing version ties with Whitney's.Nobody else can rivalize them both.

Gorgeous and so talented Mariah !

[QueenOfDreamsXxX]

Her voice is screwed up big time.

[Mitzyclick]

Thumbs up if your not even american.

[braian685]

@Mitzyclick NO IAM NOT AMERICAN... BUT I LOVE USA AND I LOVE MARIAH CAREY AND I THING SHE IS THEEEEEE BEEESTT ARTIST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

[TheWolfcub01]

I could see this being pre recorded but Whitney's was prerecorded?? How do you know this?? You have proof? ( However that might explain how she was so good even tho she looks to me fairly jacked & cracked which could just be from the adrenaline of the moment too) lol



[glitterfly971]

i looove her

[Loris900]

you haven't seen Beyonce's LIVE performance ;-)

[1997girlylovesginger]

G7. Highest Note Ever.

[emylxtra]

EPIC! living legend

[bryberry91]

the way she ends the national anthem is such a clincher! god, i love it. no one can beat that. i wish i could do that!!

[cutienoli]

whitney houston's rendition is the best!!!!!!!!

[capcomfighter13]

@cutienoli BITCH PLEASE! You wish WEEDNEY'S version was the best! There's only ONE QUEEN and her name is MARIAH CAREY!!

[CyprusHot]

I LOVE YOU MARIAH SO MUCH X

[anarukaa]

Mariah Carey...Best Female Vocalist of ALL time....

[anarukaa]

Best Female Artist of all time...No one Can or will Ever Beat Mariah Carey....Yyyyeeeaahhhh!!!

[RickySSB]

Presuming Whistle...booring

[lilaaznboiix]

Oh God ! Mariah's whistling ! AMAZING !

[RhondaSharee]

Beyonce's was way better!

[mubarokfasa]

mariah carey's voice is very unique and nice. i love how she sing.

[MeAsOmnipotent]

Look at 1:41-1:43. You can see her tongue moving in an apropriate sylablles. How come its pre recorded? 

[monsteripolo]

@MeAsOmnipotent because the mic is off and she sings it lower. the idea is to look real. remember that whitney also looked like it was live.

[vall3y818]

it sounds amazing but whitneys sounds better becuz it sounds difficult...star spangled banner seemed to easy for mariah, it doesnt challenge her voice like it did with whitney...but either way they are both TOO LEGIT!!! :D

[tonibraxtonbigfan]

at 2'15 OMG INCREDIBLE VOICE

[Marisol181221]

The best...!!!!!!!!!!

[mikhaldavid2010]

this is live!!!! 100% ,, this is her comeback after glitter,, this is superbowl,, and the vice president is present,,this is the only one that is live...your video is just poor!! lol

[MrAndrewaaa]

thats it. im in love.

[cjdgalerta]

Awesome. Just stunning.

[DanielAvilaAGT]

She looks like a princess singing from her castle :))

[ongeify]

She´s soo pretty!! :-)

[33Muslimah]

that last note brought me to tears...simply amazing

[XxFierxX]

I dont get it. If its pre recorded what is she doing on stage?

[LittleMonsterMan93]

@XxFierxX lip-syncing for show. lots of singers do it now.

[MrRedFireIbG]

Haha yeah this american people ^^

[7hermela]

Marieh Carey she rocks and has a beautiful voice

[NANCY5163]

The dislike bar looks like my penis, oh and i wish i could sing like that, sometimes i pretend that they choose me to sing the national anthem and sing with a water bottle #nofriends

[monniieeveryday]

she is wonderful i cant even describe how beautiful her voice is and her beauty speechless

[ervinriel]

Until now, no one can sing like this. 

[BigBlyeEyes1234]

It's so funny going from this, to the Christina Aguilera version.

[CyprusHot]

[GusenbauerAffe]

[toamau12]

@BeyonceSlays she wasn't lipsyncing"/ dum idiot

[toamau12]

[BeyonceSlays]

OMG I remember watching this performance when I was 12! Haha Oh how I never knew what lip syncing was. Still amazing performance!

[GoddessBakaPYT]

mariah eats whitney.

[sawngburd]

She just did that like it was nothing. Beyonce had nothing on this. I need to rehear Whitney's.

[KentonDevaughn]

Mariah Carey is so amazing!!! That ending....I'm speechless:..} Tear..

[DanielAvilaAGT]

@EnzoLopez1962 then get out! WHY ARE YOU HERE IF UR HATING? u don't see mc fans on other and say, "mc is better blah blah" shows what kind of fans they have. We Love Mariah :)

[seraphsis]

I LOVE U AND I LOVE AMERICAN ALL

[seraphsis]

HAHA

[LluviaAva]

[MrsCherrySlushy]

@LluviaAva I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT! ive watched like fifty of these things! i cant believe she hit that high note! i seriously thought it was a trumpet... :)

[CandyApplez97]

@MrsCherrySlushy It was a whistle.

[dudemanwhoathe1st]

[TheJrbeast123]

[mundomariah]

Even for non-americans this version is special.

[edge07]

braaaaaaaa-a-a-aaaaaaaaaa-AAAA­A-AAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAVE!!

[sisqo190pr]

Leave it up to Mariah Carey To Glamorize and lip sync Our National Anthem :)

[mikhaldavid2010]

@sisqo190pr fuck u!!! you just can't accept the fact that mariah is better than your fav artist!!

[randiparis]

Goose bumps...every time...There can only be one Mariah!!luv ya:)

[dellafone]

Notice how the conductor for the live band looked back to see how long Mariah gonna drag that freestyled note at the end? He was prolly thinking in his mind "DAYUMM GIRL, you've got some pipes there!"

[88rr3]

There's a 2nd verse to the song

[amyhill768]

Best version if our national anthem. Gives me goose pimples every time.

[randiparis]

@amyhill768 I know, me too!!! I have to agree she is awsum..:)

[GIANNIYANI]

[zanoases]

[Contrastos]

[toamau12]

@9CrazyHorse4 lol why? she sung it to perfection, if you dont like the way she sung it then why bother watching? exactly, theres no point in writing your comment

[toamau12]

@ikambor she never shows off, thats just mariah for you"/ amazing she is! cx

[ginalovesyooh]

[ikambor]

[popprincessk]

[doggieluvers123]

[Empresskym]

uhhh, so beautiful. Mariah is so is America. I love the Star Spangled Banner

[baygirl91]

they shoulda had trey sing instead of her, LOL.

[Gazzbgc]

This is not lip I know!

[9CrazyHorse4]

@CircusMcGurkus1 @jsto330 I'm not saying that she is a terrible singer at all, she's pretty dang amazing. It's just that I know how the anthem is actually suppose to be played and sung. It is a march style song. It's not drawn out. And I know that I can't sing, no need for a second opinion from the peanut gallery. And I'm sorry that you think I'm some creepy old dude for knowing something about how our anthem is played. What difference does it make that I don't put out videos?

[jsto330]

9 crazy horse 4 u just don't know what ur talking about ur just mad because u can't sing.....

.. if u can make a video

[ChelseaVictorMusic]

oh she's lipsyncing, well it's still really good!

[9CrazyHorse4]

No offence to her, but I honestly don't like the way she sings this. And most celebrities do this, too. I don't appreciate it when people draw it out like that and turn it into a slow number one hit like that. The Anthem shouldn't be sung like this. It is suppose to be in a more march style than slow and dramatic. It almost seems degrading to our anthem. It's been a while since I heard someone sing it right. Please can someone sing it right?

[CircusMcGurkus1]

@9CrazyHorse4 How old are you? 80?

[dudemanwhoathe1st]

@CircusMcGurkus1 how old are you? 5?

[jacko7973]

only fuck

[voondebayosh]

shes a goddess...

[onepointtwofan]

Sorry, but if she can not sing it live, she should not do a pre recorded version that sounds terrible.

[CoolVideoWatcher101]

HEY MOTHER FUCKERS, ITS NOT RECORDED HAD IT BEEN RECORDED CHRISTINA AGUILERA WOULDN'T HAVE FUCKED THE LYRICS UP !

[cotumarre]

A hundred years from now, stories will be told about you, they'll talk about a muse who lived amongst us in past times, an angel graced with a voice that could she could only have received as a gift from God himself. An angel that when she sang, us mere mortals could only exist in awe. For this I am grateful to be amongst those mere mortals who existed in the times of such muse. I bow to you in awe

[RanjitMorey]

@cotumarre your comment should be converted into a plaque of pure gold and adorned in maria's house. Every lamb should have a photo copy of it. You are testament to how moving her vocal prowess is.

[TheDuckie409]

i almost went deaf listening to that but it was good



[jermonteh]

Mariah sings this better than anyone

[scruffynerfherderman]

this ones good, but i think whitney houston's is way better

[slanum35]

FOR THE LAND OF THE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[ablackguy123456789]

@slanum35 she said "free". duh.

[awfulguitarplucker]

@slanum35 i swear...when i heard she singing the "AAAAAH" on the palce of "Free"..i nearly DIED for pulmonar emphysema while rolling on teh floor for laughing!

single most Gloriously Hilarious moment in the whole Maryah Carey career!

[Rwarilicious]

@slanum35 LMAOO!

[lighttbearer]

@iNhanV sorry. listen to this! Whitney at the superbowl it is stunning. this Mariah song is at best nice.

[4x4me2]

so is her mic on or off? 

[Kavado3]

lol it IS prerecorded

[akagi91890]

アメリカにも行ったことのない日本人の私が観ても感動しますね。

この動画を何回も再生してしまいました。

マライアキャリーの美貌と美しい声はすばらしい。

アメリカを好きになりました。

[kukar100]

How the fuck can you dislike this?????

[hijodepuuu]

@kukar100 If people are whitney houston fans they will lol

[kukar100]

This is live. Dont forgett she was the best singer in all time.

[tyty651t]

iAlwaixd luhvd the whistle...imean no one does it qwitee likee her. nd that wht mostt ppl wer lookinq 4

[MrSamuelu09]

MARIAH AAHHHHHHH I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE BIGGEST FAN I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH IN INSPIRED MEEH THE MOST

[kpopftw16]

Totally made it her own style ;) loved it my favorite performance of the national anthem. Hittting on the high notes is impressive, but youve gotta know how to firmly sing the low notes, which Mariah does like a boss. Others try to go low like "oh say can you," but sound unprofessional. Love you Mariah!

[McJulia91]

WOW!........like an angel ♥

the best female singer i know....

[PNelsonContempdance5]

This is LIVE 100%!!! I do not understand why people say this is "pre-recorded" for it is not. Her, her manager and her record label all stated this was LIVE! Love her!

[deny9030]

she is beautiful girl!!!

[toamau12]

the whistle is a F#7

[awfulguitarplucker]

@toamau12 it was a B7

[LindavG]

She has a beautiful voice.

[pijno]

best version of Star Spangled Banner from divas

[sonerojam]

the best ever version of this song..great job, my idol..Mariah....

[imafan123456]

I think Mariah sung this beautiful. A lot of people (including Christina Aguilera's awful renditions) oversing the shit out of it, but Mariah did it justice. She added a few melismers but nothing too over the top.

[tthomastran]

THE ZOHAN!

[cvd13ent]

I am an inspiring artist...please let me know what u think of my version of the star spangled banner.......type in "kang brown national anthem" in the youtube search bar..again im just trying to get heard everybody deserves a chance right???

[Jonah196]

Omg.. hurry up and make a porno Mariah.

[Livlovs2laf]

I love this version! It's awesome! In my opinion I like Beyonce's a little bit better.

[WardoOo7]

Great End :D

[551Music]

This isn't the whole anthem.

[ra3dbadr]

Oh what a soft voice ? will always love u mariah <3

[dleondleon]

911? yes, we have a emergency, a crazy singer ruined the National Anthem, I think that she need valium, hurry, it's a EMERGENCY ..... LOL

[dleondleon]

2:16? The National Anthem or "Emotions"? or it was " Shake it off"? OMG, please, more respect, it's the National Anthem, also pre-recorded, what a shame

[GUGU2101]

@dleondleon stfu. if ppl can go high on that part then why cant she? & she has the talent to go high then most of the others who sang this so this is no disrespect! in fact this was on he guinness book of records for the highest female voice of 2003 so dont say shit you dont know!

[dleondleon]

@GUGU2101 highest female voice pre-recorded, ok? it's common that everyone who didn't know about music will like mariah, beyonce or christina, cause they are crazies singer, screaming and have "highest note', but they'll never sings, that's the true ..... sadly, the world like mostly the worst things, finding the ''highest note" .... the entire world hearing without listen and this's the cause of mariah has 18 number one, many songs from her doesn't diserve be a number one

[dleondleon]

pre-recorded and this version sounds like disney+barney+lazy,backyardiga­ns ................. this never will be sound like the National Anthem

[dleondleon]

the Natonal Anthem lip syncing, now we know why she have 18 numbers one

[NiRie017]

even the title say that it is "pre-recorded" .. the lambs and many, almost and all people out there know that that is LIVE :) this performance put mariah in the guiness book of records of the highest female voice in 2003 :)) hitting g#7 :P

Lambs, supporters and also the Haters :) .. always remember that BAD THINGS never win AGAINST GOOD THINGS :D

[MCsVoice97]

@NiRie017 pre-recorded. obviously

[NiRie017]

@MCsVoice97 i don't believe you .. :) sorry :))

[DegrassiInstantStar]

@NiRie017 No hun, It's pre-recorded. Superbowl performances were pre-recorded them due to reverb issues with sound. Especially after Roseanne Barr. I was confirmed anyway that it was pre-recorded.

[NiRie017]

@DegrassiInstantStar so its even beyonce's performance is pre-recorded ? in super bowl 2004 ?

[DegrassiInstantStar]

@NiRie017 The pre-recording ended relatively recently hun. Even Superbowl officials confirmed they had to pre-record the performances. Even Whitney's was pre-recorded hun.
