  • Get it Kelly!

  • as much as i like kelly, the hole rendition of this song is pretty bad. When she sings the home of the brave it's like she hasn't even planned anything is just throwing random screeches together :S still love you though

  • She still can't sing. I don't know why she performed it that way either with all of the crazy facial expressions and body movements. She looked pretty though. Her vocals are beyond subpar though, most of her vowels sound so ugly and she truly has no control of her voice.

  • Why she so foine?

  • Her voice sounds good but she's doing WAY too many gestures.

  • Kelly, you are so beautiful, with such an amazing gift of talent. I have never heard the national anthem sung so beautifully, until I heard you. Great vocals!

  • She sounds BEAUTIFUL and looks GORGEOUS! GO KELLY!

  • She sounds BEAUTIFL and looks GORGEOUS! GO KELLY!

  • i knew i was gon see comments of ppl comparin beyonce and kelly.....point blank kelly def killed this and i dont remember hearin her sing that high in any of her songs i heard

  • @OfficialBSkillz high??? go look up destinys child national anthem i forgot what game but it was basketball she wearin a blue dress..... kelly sung circles around b n kelly lol seriously!!

  • @iamRoMeOCaRRee BAHA FUNNY, cute joke

  • She song the hell out of that

  • The reason why people are just finding out that Kelly has a good voice is because she had to stand behind Beyonce at the behest of Mr. Knowles.

  • Why you have to choose one over the other when you can have both? Just saying. Not everything is a contest, sometimes it a smorgasbord. Enjoy.

  • Simply WOW!

  • What! kelly sounds better that Beyonce? are you kidding me lol that's a funny...

  • I love Kelly! Beautiful voice! Not everyone can sing like that!

  • Rose Colored Glasses is on iTunes!!!

    AMAZING SONG! Download now!

  • much better than keyshia cole!

  • @coconessfox wtf y would u even compare keyshia ta kelly lmao keyshia cole cant sing to save her life

  • @LadyHooper30 WTF would you ask such a dumb question? Look at Kelly's album sales, it's a flop compared to KC. Maybe Keyshia was nervous had a lot on her mind.

    KC can sing I don't know what your talking about. Kelly aint all that. she aight'!

  • she is beautiful

    wow just stunning

  • YES YES KELLY YOU GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!!!!

  • dis hoe sound like she singing a Christmas song

  • Here u go on KELLY ROWLAND video talkin about BEYONCE. Please go write on B video and stop watchin Kelly stuff. Damn. Yall kill me always talkin B this and B that. Stay off Kelly stuff dissin her. If u dont have anythin positive to say, clickin on her videos when they come up

  • Yea she good and everything but not better than Beyonce, Beyonce gave me chill bumps and everything at the end

  • Comment removed

  • she sounds soooo good.

  • i love this version for some reason better than everyone elses

  • BEST performance of the national anthem by Kelly Rowland!!!

    please call the radio stations and request Kelly Rowland's new songs... if people don't hear her somewhere no one will... Help support Kelly... please...

  • i'll pick bey over kelly anyday but this is a great performance!! keep rockin

  • Her body looks really nice here. A Capella! Nice Kellz! I got goosebumps! I love the National Anthem!

  • people spend there time debatin and fightin of who is a better singer or this or that when at the end of the day it'z a opinion, and not a fact..you can't fight w.someonez opinion that makez you look corny anywayz God bless the usa

  • she song her heart out:)

  • She is very good. I love her voice. The quality is very nice.

  • she is wayy smoother than beyonce;

  • If you guys like this, you should check out her live version of "Commander" she did on the Graham Norton (think that's his name) show.

  • I wish ppl stop comparin Beyonce and Kelly. They voices are totally different. Kelly can sing but Beyonce has alot more control bcause she dances and sings. I luv Kelly though. And if u listen to beyonce sing live, she always sings her songs 1 or 2 octaves lower cause she is nautrally an alto with a range. Both of those girls are really good friends so stop tryin to start mess between them.

  • rally nice, one of the best so far. 2nd only to monica's versions.

  • I don't get why everyone Likes Beyonce better than Kelly!

    Kelly Is sooo pritty & has an amazing voice & Personality.

    I'd pick her over beyonce ANYDAYY!!!

  • No way is she a better singer than Beyonce, lol. People can stop saying that just to try and spite Beyonce, because anyone can hear it's not true.

  • hell yeah she sounds better than Beyonce!!!

  • hell yeah she sounds better than Beyonce!!!

  • hell yeah she sounds better than Beyonce!!!

  • omgg soooo nicee!!!!!! i love kellyy!!!!

  • was this live????? or pre recorded??? **gets ready for the birage of youtube attackers**

  • her best live vocal performance!

  • lmao beyonce sung the shit out of this song and kelly did too but lets be real beyonce vocal range is better but i still love kelly so damn stop hating yall cant get off of beyonce dick damn

  • @txdreamts They actually have very similar vocal ranges and can mimic each other since they sang together for so long. Kelly is a soprano and can go higher than Beyonce, but Beyonce can go lower than Kelly. I would guess their vocal ranges are about even. It's hard to say for sure since Kelly hasn't demonstrated her full vocal range.

  • @blktrekie29 well i'm not really sure that she can sing higher than Bee cuz Bee really has an impressive vocal range (at least bigger than Kelly i think) and she can really go high ... anyway Kelly can sing too.

  • @Cdb6es Yeah, she can. t's based on fact. Kelly is a soprano (highest voice type). More specifically, she is a Spinto Soprano (think Christina Aguliera, Kelly Clarkson) Her voice is naturally higher than Beyonce's, who is a mezzo-soprano (think more Whitney Houston). Sopranos sing more in their head voices whereas Mezzo-soprano sing in middle voice. If Mariah Carey is a high voice and Toni Braxton is low voice, mezzo-sopranos are in the middle - can only go so high and so low.

  • @blktrekie29 yeah i know Bee is a mezzo soprano but sorry she can reach high notes (F5, G5...) just like Christina Aguilera and she can do falsettos...and more generally she uses her voice with a lot more ease than Kelly. last time i saw Kelly singing live on Tv, it was for Guetta's song and i'm sorry, but this was awful.

  • @Cdb6es Bey has been formally and classically-trained. She should be able to hit those notes. In fact, any mezzo-soprano should. I have seen a number of Kelly's performances on Youtube and will admit that it took her a minute to get it together cause she was not used to being solo. She has improved a lot and her voice has gotten stronger, and she is more confident.

    Kelly's high notes (C6) are a lot stronger than Beyonce's. B struggles whereas Kelly can sustain it and project her voice.

  • @Cdb6es I'm sorry but Christina strains so much on her belts. I saw her perform the national anthem twice recently and both were worse than this. I don't think its fair to judge a singer off of one performance or one song. People are so fickle. They she one bad Kelly performance and claim she's so horrible. Turn around and see one great Kelly performance and claim she's better than Beyonce. You have to educate yourself about the singer to be able to make a good judgment.

  • @blktrekie29 Mariah's a mezzo

  • @Scanned No, she isn't. Mezzos sing in their middle voices, and her middle voice sucks. It has always been the weakest part of her voice.

  • @blktrekie29 If you say so.

  • @Cdb6es Kelly has a better and bigger head voice. Bey has the better lower register. They basically have the same belting range. I would like to note that I hate seeing these comparisons on Kelly videos.

  • KELLY DID GREAT. BEAUTIFUL>

  • wooooooow kelly i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!! dis girl can sang!

  • It was still a little too fast but she did great. I love her voice.

  • Beyonce who?

  • i feel kelly can sing this song better than beyonce or michelle thats why she has sung it more times than the others cause this song she owns

  • Kelly is what Beyonce would be without all the glitz and the glam to distract you...acapella....Kelly would sing Beyonce under a rock!

  • don't be silly, beyonces earnt her success, not because of her looks, if you watch beyonce live shes 10 times better then kelly, n thats coming from someone who's a fan of kelly.

  • .....like I said...listen to ther voice ALONE...no music no NOTHING....

    Kelly has the better QUALITY and soulful sound!

    Beyonce is very generic in sound ..she can do some cute vocal acrobatics..she loves a run..but she sounds like she is singing into a fan!!

    If it werent for teh dancing and the clothes and teh hair and the pyrotechnics..entourage...its all a show with her..she couldnt do a small cafe by herself as good as kelly...not happening!

  • @Littlewater  that is so true lmao.

  • @Littlewater EHHH Wrong! Beyonce beautiful inside and out, Vocal wise and dancing wise (and acting wise) she works soo hard and thats why she made it farther than any of the other destiny child members! (Kellys good to tho)

  • Wow Kelly Really song this!

  • wow kelly really song this??? do you me sang or sung this.

  • Idk... This is like another rendition of Beyonce's... *sigh*

  • kill ya self

  • Is it..they did have teh same vocal coach...they all sang as one voice for years..they are all gonna have the same TWANG!

  • @Littlewater HELLO THAT IS RIGHT AND PEOPLE DON'T THINK OF THAT

  • wow...i can appreciate how she sang this..it was kinda fast...but she was on pitch..and her tone was real nice....i didnt even realize she can sing this well...good job....now i am on to watch the next celeb singing national anthem

  • kelly can blow, beyonce too, this particular song beyonce got but damn kelly go head

  • Kelly could always sing. I always thought she was the best singer out of Destiny's child.

  • so owning beyonce's version of the national anthem!!! :D

  • This is what I'm talking about!!!

  • my fave vocal for this song ive heard yet!! Her voice was on point.. She a true G!

  • Her voice is so clean and she doesnt oversing her songs which makes it better for the listener to appreciate her vocals.

  • I wholeheartedly agree.

  • ey u know she's

    beyonce knowles cousin

  • she looked like aaliyah for a minute i was totally confused

  • @shamrockshake86 what u smokin on lol

  • i have no idea...i need new glasses obviously!!! lol.

  • i get whatshe means tho Kelly ant t nothin on Aaliyah

  • kelly is doing her thing..she an amazing singer..beyonce alwayz needs a band to make a sound..this is real talent.!!GO KELLY..

  • Kelly is killin everythin she touches now a days...She is jus in her zone and thats where she will shine...Proud of her she has come along way...I mean she got a number 1 single around the world....not jus in one country but many...even on the American dance charts...Says a lot huh

  • shes's a diva.her voice is on point..!!luv her

  • Wooow... her voice is shooting!! Who said that she could'nt sing?!

  • Whoever said it was lying!!!

  • i love kelly, i think she did great!!

  • Wow. Kelly pulled that OFF. Wasn't expecting that at all.

  • She did a great job. Usually she doesnt have this much control over her voice. She always sounds like she has a cold. But she did great though!

  • @josh82000 most of the time she is sick while traveling thats why her voice sounds like that

  • okay for me..{voice randy jacksn}

  • who lip syncs the national anthem, beside jessica simpson

  • I love how they had all those distractions in the background going off (helicopters, screaming, firecrackers) tryna distract her lol but she still sounded great!

  • LMAO!! like something out of a video game LOLOL

  • Kelly sang her butt off...wow! She's come so far as a vocalist now that she's getting some real experience leading/in the solo spotlight. I always knew it was in her it was mainly lack of confidence and experience. Everyone knows how much b has grown from dc's debut to now...that was all the experience she had leading and growing. This is easily in the list of top anthems sung live. Trumps many of the bigger diva versions.

  • People may not aggree wit me but its sad that it took for her to get rid of matthew and leaving columbia for her career to start takin off like it should.....she basically an indie artist and she doing it on her own wit no help....even if she don't be as big ass beyonce i'm proud of her

  • Well...some would disagree that her career wasn't too bad w/ Matthew - her debut did decent. But I do agree w/ you. I'm not sure what he issue was, of course it all can't be blamed on him, but it was obvious the effort put into his daughters (one successful, the other less successful than Kelly), but not so much into the other girls. I think this new era of hers will be her shining hour. I really do hope she gets the recognition she deserves. AND i'm so looking forward to a new DC album.

  • I gives a damn what yall think about this comment because if your school get some kelly money and she perform you'd bow like hell babies. Like Mj said he got alot of respect but we all know it wasn't from Americans

  • Forever Person who had nothing good to say Beyonce held out notes to as well when she song. They are both talented and kelly sounded damn good now for all you who say I hate when peps. do Bwrong for jenifer you do the same JUST LIKE THE MEDIA And you forget about the peps who got be where she is believe it or not one is kelly. I

  • her voice is so clean!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  • kelly sounds better than beyonce

  • For everyone COMPARING them go and listen to them sing it together as DC3 . These women compliment each other very well, together or solo . I'm proud of them ALL .

  • i pick kelly over beyonce anyday

  • i liked it better than the NASCAR version. but it still needed a little bit of work. i would give it a B-

  • why is non of the fans singing im sorry but they should sing along like we do and show true passion

  • Y'all keep lying. We have all heard better in a local high school gym. Folks just want to pull for the old DC members to try and prove they were "held back" or done wrong. No. Beyonce was just better.

  • This seriously brought tears to my eyes..look at my baby sing that anthem. Gone Girl!!!

  • It lacked a little feeling.

  • kelly sounds like a natural born soul singer! i'm glad When love tkaes over is doing so well right now, she deserves this success so much.!

  • LMBAO @ ATLB's response. I'm usually not this mean but she deserves 2 be mocked for that: "My name Jaiontee. I'm Beyonce biggest fan. I'm a 'big-deal'. I know 'big deal' stuff about 'big deal' people..I can spew relatively useless 'big deal' facts at the drop of a hat!" LOL.Hey, I give credit cause u obviously know your way around Wikipedia. At the same time, did B hire a new spokesperson? In any case, I hope she pays you well 2 defend her honor & speak on her behalf...

  • SHE KILLED IT!

  • have u heard beyonce in 09? listen 2 her new album or pick 1 of her fan taped video's from her 110 city tour around the world or maybe the bet awards sunday, maybe the oscars when she sung 1 of the songs in french & when she set a record of perfoming 3 times that same night which no 1 has ever done in the history of the oscars, u choose, I give kelly her props but dont discredit beyonce (queen) like she lacks, she is also the highest paid artist again for the second time 89 million to be exact!

  • probably because her daddy booked her zillions of jobs and it's so stingy to book kelly or michelle any job to promote their cd, beyonce doesn't have a better voice than kelly, she had to shout through most of her deja vu performances, so there you go, suck it!!

  • probably so but i have seen kelly shout before as well..and another thing......beyonce didnt have to put kelly and michelle in her get my body video nor did she have allow michelle to dance at the 2007 bet awards wit her..........

  • i agree wit u...i hate when they try to put mz sasha down.....kelly has said it herself on the little thing which tell the history of beyonce.............

  • now youll cant say she didnt rock it that time

  • good

  • LOVE HER!

  • dat wuz great

  • I love that raspy tone she has when she belts out notes

  • I didn't know Kelly could sing like that

  • kELLY DID A GREAT JOB,THAT IS NOT A EASY SONG TO SING!

  • you killed it

  • Wow, her voice really did that song justice. Nice job, Kelly

  • i think she should have sang it a little higher so she could show off her range a little more

  • This was very high up in her range...higher and she would have scratched horribly...trust me. Even this was a little too high for her on a few parts.

  • Everyone look up Destiny Child live in rotterdam singing Emotions, Kelly is AMAZING in it no joke..

  • i soo love kelly , shes better then beyonce idc what any one say !!

  • she totally is... she is the BEST

  • Oh what my bad, it's the pro bowl I thought it was INDY again. She can sang, not sing, her ass off, ummmmmmmmm, goosebumps. The National Anthem Asoociation if there even is one should host a sing off between Faith Hill, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland, Nicole of PCD, Brandy, Beyonce, Ashanti even, Fergie, Pink, Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson, Wynonna, Martina McBride, Joss Stone, Aretha, Shania & Patti to see who can sing it better & the winner sing it live @ the Oscars.

  • Why is Kelly standing on the American Flag?! **lol**

  • voice and looks beautiful~!:)

  • Obviously she is doing something right with her career cause til this day and forward, she has been a multi millionaire since she was in her 20s

  • clearly with kellys style this is in no way she tried to add tha whole "beyonce" swag 2 it. IDIOTS keep in mind that they were produced from tha same group destinys child so of course theyre going to take that with them whereeva they go. kelly is tha more versatile singer anyway...TRUTH B TOLD!

  • wow she killed it! kelly has a great voice!

  • it do seem like she tried to hit a little of beyonce national anthem. heeell naw kelly kelz. she did good tho. lol

  • Kelly is very good and Beyonce is to i don't get why people are comparing her because they are not competing she doin her thang and Beyonce is to they don;t need all that criticism

  • FINALLY some sense in all of this NONsense

    Everybody wants to say she cant sing but HMMMMM

    who's a MILLIONAIRE based on their singing ability. RIGHT!!!!

  • she should of of left frm beyonce dad long ago coz she proberly would of accomplished more than beyonce by now. and her album was hot but only released couple of songs what a waste. Beyonce album just released aint all dat at all

  • Im GLad she Left Beyonce Daddy he wasnt promoting her like he suppose 2

  • kelly is better than bey. not as qood as her but better. bey uses tricks and kelly uses talent

  • ...nah, she didn`t do better than beyonce.........though she used tricks, she song better

  • alright miss Kelly you sang that

  • her voice is strong and fast paced

  • Comment removed

  • she sound hella good but why the hell she be wearin these common ass wigs

  • i have always like'd kelly better and i'm so happy she stop letting beyonce's father manage her cuz he holding her back real talk

  • very true!

  • for real?!

    she split with Matthew Knowles?!

    YES. for real on erythang he was not wut she needed

    get it Kelly

  • fireworks during the day. lol what a waste of money. they should've the band.

  • kelly sings good. she has an amazing voice and she is incredible. kelly doesn't get enough credit sometimes. she sings as well as beyonce and she can do even better. kelly is a damn good singer and she is just as good as beyonce.

  • *** USA THE BEST ***

  • Kelly could have killed that high note on "free". But other than that its great

  • Kelly songs are no where near garbage, her songs are not repeditive and neither is her Cd's, she got that REAL RnB music and soul in here, not the bullshit we hear today, plus her music is for the heart,mind, and soul not just to get u dancing in the club and it goes away n a month, she makes songs u can listen to 20 years from now and still relate 2.

  • you shou;dn't say that. her songs are not garbage. if they were, dc wouldn't be so great coz if you don't know, i'd like to inform that she composes half of their songs! it's ok if you don't like her just don't talk trash about her. she isn't even trying to compete with bee. duh!

  • kelly sing alot betta then beyonce. her music isn't garbage cuz i happen to lyke her music. now beyonce music to me sounds the same

  • FINALLY, Somebody that understands real music, yes Kelly music is lightyears better, that Real RnB music that is slowely coming back thanks to Kelz and others liek Brandy, Jazmine S. ect. Beyonce music is so repeditive, it sound exactly the same, no growth, no emotion or deoth, just a song sang so it can be a hit. Least kelly grows every album and least beyonce knows what kind of music she needs to do to sell an album.

  • Yeah...the music industry sucks now...to me it start dieing around 2003...especially hip hop all you need now is a catchy hook you got a hit record..R&B is made into a joke now...I loved both of kelly albums they had real songs instead of what people come out with now

  • TRUE TRUE TRUE

  • sang kelly

  • Wow.... That was GREAT!!!

  • to be honest kelly sings better than beyonce but beyonce has that image that sells music and kelly has more range beyonce live cant sing but she has a recording voice and a lot of voice overs that make her sound like she can blow.

  • she did an amazing job and you people have to asmit it.

  • both beyonce and kelly rowland are great their sisters so they dont really care good job on the anthem

  • are they actually sisters or just as close as sisters
