  • You have a beautiful voice. I think you did a great job.

  • Beautifully done I have listened to quite a few soloists doing this song and you did it justice ....much respect!!

  • u sound sooo gooood singing it soo be prouddd gurrrrrllll

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • The yankee anthem is shit like the country and the people,and you have to sing your songs!!!

  • beautiful voice!

  • theres only one national anthem.... why would a group try to seperate itself by making its own version? kind of a slap in the face to the people who struggled for equality.

  • you have a beautiful voice.my only constructive criticism is to be more deliberate and tasteful whenever you change a melody or add embellishments.make sure not to add or do things out of habit unless thats what you really want.you are an artist painting a picture and the song is your subject. everyone that had a negative comment especially the racist ones are just silly, ignorant and sad.we as mankind no matter what our differences may be are God's creation.lets all respect each other as such.

  • Doesn't sound bad, nice voice...just don't like the attitude :S

  • I'm disappointed in the people who disliked it!! They must really be hating because girl that was amazing!!!! Beautiful voice girl!! Very beautiful.

  • im black and im proud and im really sad that some ppl have to be racist someone in free realms was racist to me he called me a black nigga and he said im gonna shoot him :(

  • @yrialb im no racist sweetie...not at all..... i have many black friends.....

    people shouldnt say what that person said to you....I'm sorry

  • You sound beautiful

  • @PretteaOne :) thank u hun

  • Nice job!

  • we have moved pass a black thang or white or brown thing for the song tells of a hope and faith in interpraise that powered a people trapped in a skin that comdemed them with each generation the hope torch of freedom were passed, there isn't a black white alive today that can claim they brought themselves, so sing a song by de way I love ur voice lift it and sing drown de hater and hate who care if ur black or white

  • You can sing like seriosly almost as good as Mariah Carey

  • u hot

  • I don't think the intro was needed, nor was the I'm Not Trying To BE Black. You can obviously sing but people might be standoffish to the intro and that little blurb.

    You sound really good but my first reaction was to surpass the video. Glad I didn't.

  • Fuck the haters. I am a black man and I think you did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!

  • how do i reach u .... my yahoo is d_x_factor99 skye xmanbeyond

  • @xmanbeyond kandeemusic@yahoo.com

  • leave the girl alone she can sing and thats coming from a black person... me, sing it girl best one i've heard so far :D

  • you did a good job mama!!!

  • Outnumber? I don't think so. mus slimes won't make it that long lol

  • Wow - nice. You should re-record this as the sound quality is kind of bad though.

  • If you like the song then just do it and be a HUMAN BEING. Has nothing to do with "trying" to be anything. You sounded great and I wish you did the whole thing. Dunno if you felt slightly embarrassed or not so you made the statement dont hurt me......? PLEASE do the whole song. Your pretty too.

  • Too many vocal slurs in this performance. She should sing this without all of the slurs between the lyrics.

  • TheRosettaStoned character below is just an angry, confused, and uneducated person. See, white people who say, "go back to Africa" don't know their history. It is true that black people didn't originate in America. However, neither did white people. So if you want me to go back to Africa, you go back to England. The only people that are indigenous to America are the American Indians. And further more, but for the actions of white people, we wouldn't be in America anyway, being forced here.

  • @edwardlinnnorris good, then go back to africa you dirty fucking nigger

  • @TheRosettaStoned You're not going to get me to stoop to your level...Even though you say what you say, I know that you are just trying to evoke a reaction. I don't hate you, even though you say those hateful things. People reading this, don't hate this person. When you are raised a certain way and that's all you know, it's what you do. When you know better, you do better. One day a non-white person will show you some love when you least expect it and when you really need it , you'll change

  • @TheRosettaStoned I'll go back to Africa when you go back to Europe or the Caucasus Mountains. Stop the hate, we all bleed red......

  • @Thissiteisapain remember, WE came here by CHOICE, and your people SOLD you to us, so like I said, go home motherfucker, we dont want you here anymore

  • @TheRosettaStoned So you came here by choice but not the ones brought against their will and what do you mean "we" came here by choice? I never saw a 400 year old white man.

  • @Thissiteisapain the niggers in africa SOLD the niggers that are in America today. Read your history boy! nigger are nothing but property. They have no goals, no feelings, no intelligence. They also smell bad.......They are apes in every sense of the word. They should all go back to where they came from. That way they can swing from the trees and feel free again, doing nigger type things, we can send a few cadillacs there also, that way they can elect a head nigger

  • @TheRosettaStoned fail mate get a life stop trying bring racist back from the dirt its pathetic like your statement you present on youtube nobodies listening :)

  • @runescapejagexltd so a financial person, thats into video games. No wonder the economy is tanked. Assholes like you, need to be eradicated

  • @TheRosettaStoned don't play games thank you very much :) ha i'm the asshole and your the one stating racist remarks discriminating others yep i'm complete asshole ;)

  • @runescapejagexltd im White, and PROUD. There is NOTHING that says I have to coddle the dirty niggers, or their anthem. Does that mean I have to speak ebonics?

  • @TheRosettaStoned l0l0l ebonic you insult the white race just sad mate rofl ebonic classic dude i'm PROUD WHITE lul classic dude i love you

  • @runescapejagexltd what the fuck is your stupid nigger loving ass talkin about

  • @TheRosettaStoned Racism*

  • Good job

  • you are white, act it, dont be acting like a nigger. Let them sing their songs, when they are in the field

  • @TheRosettaStoned , you are so in the dark ages man.

  • I am black but until we accept the past and move on, the same old things will continue. We know what happened, and some people while others still old on to the past. So I am talking to you, whoever is reading this, let us remember our history but embrace the future.

  • @froggyluk NO you are a filthy nigger. Go smoke the ganj and hang out on the beach, and rob tourists and rape white women. Jamaca would be cool, if they got rid of the niggers

  • What's the purpose of this video? The delivery is too slow for one thing. I think a Black National Anthem is a great idea. I also believe Blacks should have their own nation within the U.S. A group of states set aside where they can have their own economy, educational systems, financial system, and self determination. Blacks are obviously not happy living in a multi-racial society.

  • @joe80dman NO send the fucking niggers back to africa!!!!! They done deserve SHIT here.

  • @TheRosettaStoned , It is people like you that make the world so terrible

  • @froggyluk no, its the niggers........like YOU

  • @TheRosettaStoned Wake up dude or dudette, who ever you are. No man is better than any. It is the hatred that is killing many of us,, time to let go. What has anybody done to you anyway?

  • @froggyluk a White Man is better than any nigger, spic or muslime on the face of the Earth. The muslime are trying to kill the White Man, The spics are trying to take over and the niggers are killing each other, and smoking their crack, like the yard apes they are. They need to be chained

  • @TheRosettaStoned ,You are killing yourself with hatred and anger. You had no control on how you existed neither did you on anyone else. If you know how wonderful and marvelous you were created you would not be saying the things you are saying. Men were created and there is nothing at all you can do about it.

  • @joe80dman hey, a better idea is to give then wyoming, or some unimportant state, load it with crack, and guns, and let the chimps handle their problems. Maybe stuff them ALL in Rhode Island

  • You did a wonderful job....You're not confused or wrong for singing this song...Blacks want everyone to be included in the celebration and the uplifting of all people....I commend you for having a vision and not caring what others think...You go ahead and sing your praises....actually I would love to hear you sing the entire song...You are very good !!!!

  • @edwardlinnnorris niggers want nothing of the kind. They want to get the White man, for all their support. Pump out kids for bigger welfare checks and smoke their crack. Its funny how EVERYTHING a nigger loves is WHITE. They love the White rocks, They love the White Mans tax money........

  • wow all of u that sit up her and waste ur time fussn with each other is ignorant,, whether the girl was black or white she sung the damn song she did a GOOD (PERFECT) job on singing u (U REALLY DO HAVE A TALENT dont let no one bring u down hunny there are haters every where just let them be ur motivators.... signed nika

  • @kiara535 STFU nigger

  • that was really nice

    it really but a nice touch to the song

    u were bold by doing that

    u know how ppl get sometimes

  • You like what you like. Color means nothing. You did a good job. Fuck what people say.

  • @boobmeister08 color is EVERYTHING

  • @TheRosettaStoned Only a closed minded idiot would say some shit like that.

  • @boobmeister08 not at all, only a pussy liberal niggerlover would think the opposite

  • @TheRosettaStoned I refuse to lower myself to the position of an uneducated inbred hillbilly. Everyone else would be wise to do the same. People like this are just a small fraction of American society. Ignore it.

  • @boobmeister08 yeah, im an inbred hillbilly with a Masters. A small fraction? There are ore and more white folks, being proud to be white now a days. Its a shame niggerlovers like you are so in denial and ashamed of who you are, you feel you have to coddle the niggers, muslime and illegals. One day, you will be classed with them, but the suprise will be on you. They will think, you are white, therefore you are the enemy, and when you go try to coddle the lowlife, you will be eliminated.

  • @TheRosettaStoned - you are so ignorant. I am probably whiter than you will ever be (y'know since it is so important to you) and I am Muslim, not Arab. You did not spell Muslim correctly so I wonder about your Masters. How high is your IQ, seriously? People are scared of what they do not understand & it sounds like you are scared of black people (and Muslims, and illegals - haha) don't worry we will outnumber you very very soon, so you may want to rethink your position. Much love to you.

  • @pineappleupside I spelled muslime correctly, mus-slime. You are a disgrace to the white race, and certainly one that I would never shed a tear for, if met with "circumstances" You are going to hell anyways, as allah is justa big dancing bear, and mohamahed was a child molestor

  • that was beautiful!!! dont let haters get ya babe!

  • Great job!

  • you suck at this video so for a advise never post a video ever in your life

    p.s u suck a singing \

    love. lily1919

  • great job..don't waste yo precious time replying to the haterz down there...this is you-tube,u will always get haterz..

  • she soun gud

  • Omg!!!! U killed it!!!! Keep singin ma dat wuz amazing

  • Girl you sang that song and it is a beautiful song and you made it shine bright wish i had that talent but for that one you get ***** (5 stars).

  • on my nation yu can sing great that is a great talent

  • it dont matter if your black or white you can sing girll!!!<<

  • great voice sing that song use a better camera but u killed it u rock

  • She liked it. Maybe the song touched her in some way. Whats the big deal?

  • Either way, you sound great. Keep it up!

  • what about the meaning behind it? It is not about being white or black. Anyone can sing this be it good voice or not and I would enjoy it. This song is beautiful because of its meaning... so next time do it for the meaning... not to show off your voice

  • I have never given a negative comment on YouTube. You have a beautiful voice. Very beautiful. keep on singing but it did offend me as a black person when u said u were singin it cuz u "liked" it. Yes its ok to like but think of all the struggles black people went thru... they made that song for hope for encourage and you're singing it because you "liked" it?

  • well me being a black person as well i feel lke her reason for singing the song is her choice..would you have come up here and been "offended" if she sang the national anthem and said she liked it bt it had no special meaning to her? i think not...i dont understand the problem of her just liking the song..i only like the first verse..does that offend you?

  • SHE KNOWS THE MEANING OF THE SONG ITS TAKES ALOT OF EMOTION TO SING HOW SHE DID SO FOR U TO TELL HER WHY SHE SHOULD SING A SONG IS REALLY NOT FOR U TO JUDE cuz im sure if she would have said i like the history or the meaning of the song alot of ppl would have siad UR WHITE DONT TRY AND ACT LIKE U KNOW WHAT ITS ABOUT... so just leave her alone shes a good singer leave it at that

  • this was amazing

  • girl yes you did do this song justice. I so happy that other cultures embrace the african-american struggle.

  • @jb12069 seriously fuck you nigger. the niggers have a struggle, as to where they can get their crack the next day

  • I like it a lot! I wish I could have heard more!

  • it was nice

  • Girl u betta sang.

  • for every ones information WHO ARE IGNORANT... music is diverse and its a language on its own... AS SINGERS our job is to listen to a song and interperate it into our own... she did this because she liked the song.. and by her singing this.. she is commending all raises to to keep beleiving in SOMETHING AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL PAY OFF..so if u think other wise u must not know a dam thing about music

  • AMEN!

  • HOW DARE YOU! YOUR NOT BLACK!!!

    just kidding...it was nice...i liked it

  • lmfaooo wow funnny

  • u sing the song the best out of everyone i have heard

  • very good tone quality and god wow you sound like christina aguilera..sooo good! keep it up!

  • girl you can sing.And dont mind the negative comments.You need to do something with your voice.Like Becoming A singer i will listen to every album

  • very gifted! bravo :) who cares if this is the black national anthem; wasn't the whole purpose to bring unity to the human race? great job :D

  • @shlowness how can you unify niggers? Theres 2 ways, put them in a field, and tell them the cotton belongs to a white man, and they have to steal all they can before he comes back, or tell them, they have to stand in line for free crack. They will fight in the line, because they all want the biggest rocks

  • WOW one of the best ive herd in a while. dont let ppl judge u based on color, u can sing what your heart wants. that was beautiful.

  • teach me how to sing lol ur great

  • in da beggining u said blackness song! but then u said it's pretty good! oh for your info black people r just as good as white! just to let u no. cause im black

  • i didnt say anything against black people....hell I live with some...

    I saw the song on youtube they called it the "Black national anthem" so thats what i thought it was called...and I like the song....so what exactly are you getting at?

  • if you knew the slightest bit about music, you would know it's about the feel and the performance...not at all about who is singing it, or what they look like...I'd like to hear you try to beat that...

    I didn't think so, sista girl...

  • NOW YOU SOUND STUPID POSTED DAT COMMENT...I THINK THE WORD FOR YOU WOULD BE IGNORANT!...nd dis is comin from a black person!

  • @jojaeda You must not have listened to this video closely. She didn't say blackness song, she said ,the black national anthem". All you black people who are getting on her case are just wrong. It is nice to have a white person at leaast try to embrace something about our culture...No one said anything to eminem (who is great, by the way) when he busted out with his rap. Kandeegirl, please just wear blinders and don't even pay any attention to any white or black person that is negative !!!

  • @jojaeda NO niggers are NOT as good as white. The darkies are closer to apes, and swing from trees. They are dirty, stupid monkeys that smell bad

  • GIRL YOU DID THAT!

  • Sing what you want to sing , and don't you worry about a thing. Delightful!

  • u know what this is damn ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!! i rarely ever leave a comment but u sing toooooooooo daaamn gooood!!!!!!!!!! i luved ur version of new soul too btw. great personlity and last time i checked i didnt know u had to be a certain color to sing a damn song. anyways, i dont know why u not famous. o ya i like the lil country feel that u bring to every song. original....

  • You song that song beautifully and did it some justice! Your voice is so diverse, you reminded me of Mariah Carey when you song this song! Kandee you are extremely gifted!

  • good voice ma

  • chile you did just find this is the 12th video i clicked on and you sound better than anything, i've heard yet, i was listening to this song as my cousin was killed in front of me and you actual made me feel as if i was listening to the real deal

  • AWESOME!!

  • It's a great song and you sung it beautifully. Don't apologize.

  • gurl so what if u white gurl u can blow ok i see u!! hahaha

  • sounds like you got some haters girl...dont listen to them, you wasnt off key, and you was on point!

  • WOW!!! Amazing... simply put

  • opps i meant to say she doesnt finish the first stanza

  • oh please, she sounds okay, she is off key in several places, has too many trilling runs and doesnt even finish the first verse! people are going gaga over her because she is white, defeating the whole purpose of the song.

  • @shoobedoorocketship shes white nigger loving trash

  • WOW

  • GIRL!!!! you betta get it!!..that was damn good.. you did it justice.... great job!!!

  • That was awesome! Good job.

  • sing girl

  • Very good, an excellent rendition. This song,"Lift Every Voice and Sing," was written to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Now known as the "Negro National Anthem" to exemplify the struggle and achievements of a people. Again, a beautiful rendition.

  • 0:53

  • wow! it's really really really good:)

  • wow good job!!!!! =D

  • LOVED IT!

  • Speachless

  • This song is not only to be sung by black people , anyone can sing it and sing it well just like this girl did so anybody who had a rude comment needs to really think before they speak!

  • white chocolate is sweet too.

  • u have an amazing voice.....this was great,don't worry about what people say, saying you have to be black to sing this song is like saying you have be white to sing the regular anthem...

    CHIMEZ*

  • GIRL!!!!!! you can sing!!

  • it is about black people.

    and overcoming.

    and james weldon johnson wrote the words,

    and his brother wrote the music.

  • you have a nice voice keep it up .........

  • i love you...becasue i did this song in high school for the elemntary schools in my city...for black history month

  • you were alright but for real you just randomly chose this song whatever. I think that sometime people just like to prove they can sing better than other people. try again

  • I wasnt trying to prove i can sing better than anybody....I think there are many people who do a hell of a lot better than i do at this song or any other song for that matter...I just enjoyed the song and enjoy singin....so i posted this video....:)

  • First off yes you are .out of all the songs you can sing you just randomly chose this one please.you new what you were doing.

  • so wat if she was trying 2 prove she cud sing better!? she did a hell of a gud job of it 2...if she enjoys singing let her b...she didnt harm u n the making of it...sooo shut the fuk up!

  • dan racist

  • shut up

    its a beautiful song she did a good job

  • what's with all the attitude? she has the right to sing it if she wants to no matter what her reason is. not only that but you act like this song is some huge secret that only certain people know about...people everywhere are aware of this song and know about it. it's not exactly some random unknown song. why are you trying to turn this into something it's obviously not?

  • gud job fuk wat rts has 2 say u did a hell of a gud job for a white girl!

  • Don't worry about it girl....you can blow. United we Stand, divided we Fall....Go on, lets get it America!

  • you go girl. you did a good job singing this song and i agree with sweetangelz301.

  • that was good..

  • ahah

    i think your recording stuff didnt do YOU justice, nevermind you doing the song justice :)

  • Wtf Shes not trying to b black shes just doin her thing!

    You have one of the greatest voices ever i love ya!! XD

    Lol

  • Girl this song is not exclusively for Black Americans. You sing whatever you choose, now where is the rest of it? I want to hear the whole song. Thank you!

  • Its a fantastic song. Anyone who's ever felt lost or out of place can understand and appreciate its beauty.

    I dunno... are we to the place yet where we can judge each other by the "content of our character?" as MLK said? I live and hope that it will happen in my lifetime. At any rate I wish this song was sung more often by everyone... I actually like it better than the Star Spangled Banner...This one would be a better national anthem for all americans.

  • I love it!!! your have lovely voice! keep singing

  • beautiful

  • that was beautiful!

  • you do the song justice white and all... love it!

  • she is one of those rare singing talents whether she knows it or not..

  • that shit was beautiful miss...do ya thang.

  • do ya thing gurl!

  • naww it sounded so sweet =]

    i love ittt =D
