Charice - "Star-Spangled Banner, the American National Anthem"

[pontolononoy]

Whitney Houston came outa her mouth! :o Awesome girl..

[viasaturn]

THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!! <3

[eduardosoaresbrasil]

The BEST!!! FROM BRASIL

[trishxavier]

Charice is a filipino!!!

[HDsharp]

If i was an american, i would want her to sing the anthem too, i would think it would promote america abroad. What a lasting high note near the end, amazing.

[pillow1ify]

Was that an alien ship a 2:57 ( charice must of summoned them ) :) :) !!!!

[brightspark495]

i still prefer chris tucker's version from shanghai knights

[liempo22]

Goose Bumps... all my hair stands.. really! The Best- Charice

[sakura7417]

Shouldn't being an AMERICAN (a citizen) be a prerequisite to singing the American National Anthem?!?

Great that she sings good... but she's a foreign national.

.... just sayin'. We have plenty of talented singers in this country...

are we seriously outsourcing for singers of our NATIONAL anthem.

Ridiculous.

[falutak]

@sakura7417 uhm, Celine Dion sang the National Anthem and she's Canadian..

[sakura7417]

@falutak ... so?? just because celine sang it too even though she's a canadian doesn't make it right either.

last I checked two wrongs don't make a right.

[emiroka]

The Star-Spangled Banner

O-say! can you see by, the dawn's early light,What so

proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? whose broad

stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight,O'er the

ramparts we watched were so galantly streaming?And the

rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave

proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.O

say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the

land of the free and the home of the brave?

[kady849]

SHE SING WAY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER SINGER ..FLAWLESS VOICE OF THE DECADE!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! SUPER VOICE THE IN THE PLANET!!!

[jobaytube]

this rendition should be treasured, for many version will come but only the best will be remembered.

[rebarox85]

She sounds just like Whitney Houston!

[jlandelf]

@rebarox85 That is the biggest insult that you can tell a singer...is that he or she sounds "just like" someone else. For shame.

[LexaUO26]

She's so AMAZING. Best rendition i've ever heard. GOD BLESS AMERICA

[Triberoad6]

she may not be American.. but America, as it has always done, gave her a chance that her country never gave her.....

[meguriaukagiXIII]

@Triberoad6 she is as big of a star in the philippines as she is in america, just so you know...and your comment sounds racist...

"as it has always done"...really...

[Triberoad6]

@meguriaukagiXIII it is not racist; it is just to point out how it had to take another country to recognize her talent first before her own people start to appreciate her..... that is to reason out why she sing GBA like it is her own....

[melai1671]

Wow! AMAZING! Who else can sing like the way she did?, i think no one can do it.. Love you charice..!

[alion017]

[justineleyson]

[EvaJonas]

[523ely]

Demi Loveto's voice and singing can't compare with Charice.



[miaandmakeup12]

her voice is amazing <3

&& the navy outfits are so cute lol :)

[jrhunter308]

I wished she's the one who sung the national anthem @ the super B. Yesterday :(

[myinkheart4]

Oh my, her singing's awesome!

[archidexterous20]

you must be out of your freaking mind if you think demi lovato's version is much better than this one, i watched demi's performance of this anthem but it doesn't give any feelings or emotions but this filipina girl Charice Pempengco gave a beautiful and heartfelt rendition i've ever heard and she's not even an american..jeeeezzz

[pinkrhythm04]

i just listened to Demi's version ,all i hear was screaming not singing :-((

With Charice she sings it wt great respect,emotions are there not too much riffs and runs..id go wt Charice although i like Demi too but not this song...

[kabobabe]

still love demi's more cos she has a better voice. but charice singing is better

[FlyNDanz]

@kabobabe pls it doesn't compare with charice's. charice's version is miles better.

[MissMirawrcle]

This was AMAZING by the way.

[MissMirawrcle]

One question: In a nationalistic perspective, why is Charice singing the American national anthem when she's completely Filipino?

[mari3la]

@MissMirawrcle this proves that music has no nationality...and she is a singer bound by her talent to do so. she transcends all boundaries with her great voice. and America knows what music is regardless of the singer's nationality. indeed it is the land of opportunities for people with great talents, that are usually being considered as mediocre in their homeland.

[emailroy2002]

a harrier at the end! amazing!

[fedrico123nunez]

Dont compare voice quality of singers with different reverb settings, you can always tell who is the better singer with the reverb toned down. having much more reverb effect while singing makes singing easier and sound more pleasant. Hell i even sing better when the reverb is turned up.

[Jessicaisrealawesome]

Charice brings it :D but Demi ROCKS IT! they're both awesome :D but i like Demi's version better

[orbinglight]

@Jessicaisrealawesome i like charice's version, i mean demi went out of tune in certain verses of the song... so personally speaking i like charice version!

[adamaeselena]

@orbinglight well true.. but charice's high voice and the growling style doesnt really fit the song,, i know u like her,, i dont mend to jeopardize,, i just wanna say, for me, demi's version id better,., :)

[orbinglight]

@adamaeselena i was so surprised that you have chosen demi's version instead of Charice? now i am thinking if something wrong with your ears.... coz you cannot distinguished a correct single music note. sorry but you really disappoint me... really!

[adamaeselena]

@orbinglight just shut up! im not doing anything bad i am having an opinion,, if that is your opinion i am gonna respect that.. there is nothing wrong in my ears.. so come on i am trying tom be friendly here ok!. if u dont like demi then be it! i am not saying that u should like her or so.. i am just having a comment here then u r trying to jeopardize what i like., we are two different people ok.. just pls,. respect my decision, my opinion, and anything that i love?..pls.s...

[adamaeselena]

@adamaeselena if i disappointed you then sorry, i dont MEAN to hurt you feelings!

[orbinglight]

@adamaeselena don't tell me to shut up, you shut up your mouth! apparently the consensus of comments here agreed that Charice sang it well. And for the record kid, did i ask your opinion when i posted my comment? well if im not mistaken, you just popped out from nowhere and replied on my comment! Am i correct? So don't jeopardize somebody's comment! Post your own comment on a separate sheet! Don't reply on my comment and we are totally good, and if that so i have nothing against with your Demi!

[adamaeselena]

@orbinglight i just said i like demi then u said there is something wrong with my ear? come on! i did not say anything that i dont like charice.. i just said about the growling thing and demi..,.i am not jeopardizing ur comment.. IF u can read pls go back to my reply..

[TheOrientalSpirit]

It was the best national anthem rendition I have ever heard, “better than the game,” Russell Martin says later of 16-year-old Charice, “tears in my eyes when she really gets going,” Manager Joe Torre says.

[TheOrientalSpirit]

“(The anthem) was better than the game,” joked catcher Russell Martin of singer Charice’s pregame home run, before adding, “We hit, pitched, played defense …”

What was the single greatest memory the Dodgers created for the record crowd that witnessed their home opener? ... Teenage singer Charice's breathtaking rendition of the national anthem?

[virgo1999181]

demi sang it the best but charice is still great

[LordSpanky]

wow 

[bryleesnorlax2008]

I'm proud I am a Filipino!!!!

[kenmon01]

[allfilipino98]

[Bobtheicon]

chills I tell ya

[alfiedeguzman]

to bea730, the reason is simple, the young lady can really sing well. I bet you can't sing like her that is why you are kinda insecure.. try to find a place for yourself instead of giving nasty comments

[bea730]

@alfiedeguzman atleast reply it on me. haha.

[bea730]

What the heck she should stay singing her country's own anthem not others!

[hagwartsz]

@bea730 she was invited and ask by the president not voluntarily

idiot!

[bea730]

@hagwartsz whatever bitch,

[hagwartsz]

@bea730 go to hell itchy bitchy!!



[allfilipino98]

@bea730 yoh dude.... no need to spread the hate

[Jesicho68]

Wow - speechless !

[222aRVeh222]

[BobbieMadisonWalmart]

[kiriaka1972]

[adamaeselena]

@kiriaka1972 have u head of demi singer that when she was 16 also?.. i love her version more but for reals... bot of their version were like the same,,, but i like demi better,, im happy cause you like her!

[FilipinaCupid]

WoW Charice this is on the same level as Josh Goban, Mariah, Beyonce and even Whitney back in the day! What a marvelous tone you have in your voice, so much passion!

Thank you lantaoislands, you always have the best videos.
