  • @straps6661

    waarom wil je Amerikanse zijn? Ik been Amerikanse maar waneer ik jonger was gewooned in Den Haag (ok, Wassenaar) Ik houdt van wassenaar en ik dacht dat ik wilde en Nederlander zijn. Maar dan verhuised terug naar Texas en de eerste jaar was het mogelijk. Maar nu weet ik dat het is beter in je huisland te blijven. sorry, mijn nederlands is niet goed. Ik heb te laang in Texas gewoondt en ik heb bijna alles vergeten.

  • a beautiful rendition; no showing off with the heavy "styling."

  • @TheSunmanho You are so right!!!

  • wow leann

  • Wildnatureboy

    Everyone in our country is proud of it and your an idiot to say bad stuff about it infront of us no matter what country your in ours will always be stronger because of all the hard times we've been through! What doesn't kill us makes us stronger! There's a reason what the USA is called land of the free and home of the brave maybe you should learn why! I lov the USA so stop satin bad stuff about it!

  • I lov america

  • Great song , but it needs Banjos

  • From England God Bless America

  • It stirs the soul and it is a gift to sing the song so well that is stirs the emotions and lifts one into some form of super consciousness. God Save America.

  • I love this song even though I am not American and I know there is no such thing as God.

  • Contrary to the statement by the Democrats our constitution is a sacred text inspired by the Almighty just as the Bible!

    "America!..America!! God shed his grace on thee"

    There has been only two nations that God as specifically shed his grace on, Israel and America. I pray to God that he preserves both nations from the Obamanation that Lucifer threatens us with.

  • @kafir001

    Your an ASSHOLE!

  • when you listen that song, even on youtube, please stand and remove your hat

  • While The National Anthem Is okay. I find that this song represents America Much better than the Current national anthem and vote to make this song the National Anthem.

  • What ever dudes. This song means my country is beutiful to me.

  • Very nice

  • Seven Facts known to everyone in the world but US citizens using YouTube. 1/ There are only 48 states in North America. 2/ America is not a country. 3/ Mexicans are Americans. 4/ There are 22 countries in North America 5/ There are 13 Countries in South America. 6/ The US is actually a Federal Republic. 7/ The US of A, is 'of' America which means it belongs to the continent of America but it cannot be called 'America' as it does not represent the whole of America.
  • @wildnatureboy your an idiot

  • @getnick77 This comment, get, is a typical idiotic YouTube adolescent rant, short form. Since we can't see you or know you (lucky you, luckier we), we don't know if this is typical for YOU, but the poll is running about 80-20 yes right now. If you wish to be respected, get some education and post something worthwhile. Otherwise, take a long walk on a short pier.

  • @greengringo2003 You really should check someones profile before you pass judgment or make comments that make you look like an idiot, Natureboy mixed a bunch of jibber jabber that is not true. I have worked in 4 countries in Europe and 2 in Asia and visited many more and even the most educated people I met were incapable of citing the facts that he gives in his comment. Very few even educated people outside the US know how many states we have much less how many are continental verses not.

  • Comment removed

  • @wildnatureboy

    1 There are not 48 states in North America.

    2 Correct America is not a country. We call the US 'America', I know it's wrong, some of are a little dumb, that's because they're trailer trash, but we have about 30% better life than you overall so we can live with some being a little bit wrong.

    Yes, I get it, North America, South America are continents I understand that.

    If you try to teach these idiots geography you are wasting your time. We are not all dumb like getnick77

  • 1. No one else even wants to be termed, Americans. You would be savaged if you told a Canadian that they are, in fact, Americans too.

    2. We are the first established modern independent nation on this continent. So so we have a right to claim the name. Point of fact, even before we were a free and independent nation, the colonies that later became the US were collectively called "America" by just about everyone world wide. The term and usage just carried over.

    3. It's global common vernacular

  • @azzasel

    THAT'S THE POINT..

    #

    WE KNOW.

    Just wish everyone also knew what was coming...

  • @ wildnatureboy Actually, the last time I checked it was called United States of America' ... What part of America don't you understand? But nice try... 

  • @xmlrider

    The 'big A' bit....

    'OF' means 'belonging to' so by defintion it cannot represent it's owner as a whole, it forms 'Part' of the whole, The 'US' is part of 'America' and therefore cannot be called America, because this claim is the equvilasnt of a little girl puttnig on her mommy's make up and shoes, IT DOES NOT CONVINCE ANYONE

    Trouble is, just like that little girl, the US and it's people have a very vivid imagination and like to make things up because they are so young, SO SAD

  • @xmlrider CHECK AGAIN MORONS

    I am totally amazed at the National stupidity which seems to prevail here, I thought people were being harsh when they generalised about Americans being dumb, I am hoping that it is just a You Tube thing, I mean obviously there are very smart Americans out there, and in history, but it scares me to think that maybe it could be this generation...Are you all really this uneducated about the world, and so paranoid, you think the whole world is against you, BW4WAR?

  • Comment removed

  • BW4W = Brainwashed for WAR

    USABW4W

  • America does not exist, LOL,

    I know, Some people actually think America is a country...but why is this continuously and stupidly promoted.. when there's something like 35 countries in the American continents, There is no such country as America, US yes, but it's just a collection, a union of states, sad really. it ain't a country, you have no country.

  • @wildnatureboy fuck you 

  • @rmo18

    LOL

    Dumbass.

  • @rmo18

    You are the brightest shining light in the US of Ass'oles.

    You kept it short and sweet without making any statement which could make you look stupid, well done.

  • @wildnatureboy You are a moron! America does not exist?? You sound like an idiot.. "US yes..." but not America. Um honey its called the United States of AMERICA! Your just another dummy from the UK hating on America as usual... take your uneducated insults somewhere else troll :)

  • @Azurey82

     The plural form is 'the Americas', but the singular form must always be defined by the specific location within the Americas, ie. US America, Latin American, North America, South America, East or West or your continental origin as American etc...but my statement that there is no such country as America is correct, because as a whole we are addressing a contitent like Africa, Asia, Europe none of which are 'Countries'

    So whose the moron?

    Who sounds like an idiot?

  • @wildnatureboy FACT- In some parts of the world students are taught there are only 6 continents. These students are taught to combine North America & South America into one continent called the Americas. Ur obviously one of those students. Ppl from the USA are refered 2 as Americans & taught likewise. No other country in any part of America uses its name like we do. You said 2 define the specific location & gave US America & North America as options when the USA is in North America you moron!

  • @wildnatureboy Let me show you how your actually the moron/idiot.

    There are only 7 continents (maybe 6 if your 1 of those ppl being taught to combine North & South America and call it the Americas. Latin America & East & West America are not contitents. Heres a list of the continents in the world dummy .. do you see Latin East or West America anywhere in there? No, didnt think so :) #1 Asia #2 Africa #3 North America #4 South America #5 Antarctica #6 Europe #7 Australia/Oceania

  • @Azurey82

    I seriously cannot believe you just typed all that !!! LOL Lol lol...

    Apart from calling me a Moron and idiot, every single word you have written I could have written myself, Which makes you look twice as dumb...LOL

    Continents:

    "#1 Asia #2 Africa #3 North America #4 South America #5 Antarctica #6 Europe #7 Australia" 

    I did not say East and Western America were continents, or Latin America..

    Did you know that there are only 48 states in your northern continent

  • @Azurey82

    Yeah I can't believe how some morons outside the US are being brainwashed into believing that you can combine North and South America and call it 'The Americas' !!! THAT'S JUST CRAZY !! The Americas ? What idiot made that up? It must have been someone from Europe who is a 'Hater' or some commie Brit trying to bring America down, Trying to make Americans believe that Canada and Mexico are also in the American continent LOL Dumb Morons hey? Stupid Limey morons. Eurotrash retards...

  • I'm from Brazil and I say GOD BLESS AMERICA ! Beautiful country with kind and welcoming people.

  • I`m from Germany, but I say God bless America and the rest of the world..

  • I am from America and God bless America ! ! ! !

    PRAY

    "In God we Still Trust."

  • GOD Bless you all, ALSO!

  • From South America: God bless America!

  • @tfrege We need all the help we can get! Thank you!

  • @tfrege

    From South America: God bless North America!

  • @TheSunmanho suck my big fat bacon c0ck

  • @TheSunmanho

    stupid people do really still exist thank you for showing the the world what a idiot you are

  • @ tishead.... I just call 'em the way I see 'em.

    So how do we get this moving?

    I'd like to do something good for the Nation,

    while I'm stiil around to see it get done.

  • @ shameonfrance my wanting to have America the beautiful

    as our National Anthem.

    Has nothing to do with Obama or any politcal agenda at all.

    I think that it's is an easier song to sing,

    that it better describes a fuller America,

    and is a more original American song.

    Unlike the english drinking song

    re-fitted with the Francis Scott Key poem. 

  • @honypoboy agree with you 1,000 percent. we would immediately go from having one of the worst anthems in the world to having the best. the other verses of america the beautiful are extremely powerful and moving. it is a brilliant song, superior to god bless america and vastly superior to the star spangled banner.

  • Nobody does it like Ray Charles...

  • In loving memory of 4 million murdered civilians in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.....

  • All in favor of making this song the National Anthem say aye.

  • @honypoboy

    Why are you blessing Obama ? He along with his friends Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers have cursed America for many years ! You dummy !

  • @shameonfrance yes, obama has CURSED this country. because he's a werewolf. or is it a muslim? or a socialist. or a kenyan. i always forget.

  • @tishhead my apologies, but I replied to the wrong person.

  • Why do all of our patriotic songs have to be sung by a pop star and sound so damn weak. Jesus...........

  • God Bless the president Obama

  • God Bless America, And America lets do better and ask Gad to bless the world!!!

  • O God, may the United States of America, bow down to Your Lordship once again! May the millions and millions of American return to the First Love that they once had so dearly. God, take up your rightful place in this land and arise and reign!!!!!! Amen!

  • why are we arguing about Obama and health care? The song is about the beauty of America. We should be saying, damn, she is amazing. I love America, its beauty within is priceless.

  • ugly is in your head brother

  • MrHead is merely mad because he is a Marxist spic stuck in Mexico.

    I guess when his family phoned him and said they were crossing the border to a better Capitalist Country, he didn't believe them. Where they could afford Privatised Health Care.

  • You can stay the fuck out then. Fine by me.

  • I like the Mariah version better.

  • ilnardoni u are a fucking stupid bitch, that sounds like a rich boy LOL all USA presidents didnt make nothing for up the country and maybe much people dont have the money for the health care so is better try that reform than only go to a stupid war with no winners only dead people, the people with a mind like u must burn in hell u are not a real patriot only a richboy if u think that war is great then go to there and die for the country :)

  • Yeah Obama's brilliant health care reform did you know that thing is like 1 1/2 feet thick. Obama is only hurting this country more than it already is. before Obama got into office he promised that he would not raise taxes, and what is he doing now, raising taxes. He is a liar and a retard. And all you liberals are the same expect some one else to defend this country, but don't want to do anything your self. I don't see you out there fighting for what is left for this country!!!

  • Oh and if you want to talk about saving lives why don't you take a little advice from McCain. After the war started he immediately purposed that another wave of troops was sent to Iraq. weeks and thousands of lives later Bush listened and the death toll dropped 10fold. So sending more troops on to Iraq would be beneficial to the troops and would get this war over with and restore Peace to the great country of Iraq and Iran. And there is a way of getting a message across without acting like a 6th

  • I hope the America we know exists after this administration. Im glad to know we stil have leAnn on our side

  • I hope too! Unfortunatly after this administration USA will be United Socilist state of America. Damn it! I hate socialism!!!!!

  • obama's just cleanin up the mess that

    the bush administration left behind and i bet you voted for bush or you would have now look where we are dont blame other peopl for someone elses mistakes all obama can do is try to fix the mess that was left behind for him to inhert

  • Obama is not cleanin up the mess. Obama is doing NOTHING!!!!!! If you wanna win that war you must send more troops. Obama doesn't have the stones to be President, or maybe he's too busy with that stupid health care reform.

  • It's pretty hilarious. All these people saying Obama is bringing socialism have no idea what socialism is

  • obama's just cleanin up the mess that

    the bush administration left behind and i bet you voted for bush or you would have now look where we are dont blame other peopl for someone elses mistakes all obama can do is try to fix the mess that was left behind for him to inhert

  • I love this song, but it`s not right - I`m English !

  • This song still brings tears to my eyes, If you are a veteran you understand what serving her means. The heroes that gave everything deserve this rendition. Thank You. Thank You LeAnn!

  • Thank You rubbing2001. And Thank you for your service! Not sure what branch you served in or when you served but from this Marine to you....Semper-Fi.

  • Without a doubt, there is a lot of talent on this stage, but it needs a director to give it that "togetherness" Goodness that orchestra is awesome. Isk & Tsk Youyousova

  • booooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  • i like it

  • Charming version, however Whitney's is unrivalled benchmark.

  • OMG! she's awesome!

  • My God, So Amazing! Love You Leann!

  • dude the girl at :50 is.... yah.....

  • 'Allah' is the Arabic word for God you ignorant moron.

  • I wish this was our national anthem.

  • this is great but come on nothing can beat the star spangled banner its the greatest anthem ever.

  • Every drop of blood spilled by an AMERICAN SOLDIER cries out, "Wake up America before you lose the land we died for."

  • Let's work hard to make "I've-never-seen-an-abortion-I­-didn't-approve-of" Barack HUSSEIN Obama a one-term wonder.

    And, if he tries to trash the Second Amendment, he will feel America's righteous anger.

  • No, my friend, I believe it is in fact you that fails

  • God Bless The UNITED states of America.

    Welcome to the 21st century.With your New President Barack Obama.

  • oldiebutgoodgirl, you do know alot of ppl in America do pray for their land? Just saying though, I do.

  • God has Blessed Obama and America - and I pray, one day even you... will see that!

  • Lord bless John McCain! Braggadocio is no match for the real American Hero!

  • THE ONLY LOSER HERE I SEE IS YOU!

  • Get a life pshen1989.

  • get your mother

  • try mariahs i bet youll think different

  • This version is the best I`ve ever heard!

  • Have you ever heard Ray Charles?

    He sings the greatest version, but any version of this song is great.

  • On a different note, America needs prayers (like this song) right now. It would be nice if Americans would pray for their land, for their people,as we are surely headed for some *trials & tribulations* in the near future, for the sins that we have commited. I would love to see this country be beautiful once again, full of (humble)spiritual people.

  • what do u cal humble sp,e pf uae americans pray and give to help .................it all comes back for our fore fathers

  • I understand what youre saying & the future can be scary.On a spiritual note we are all one & giving faith to divisions(countries, nationalities, etc.)creates separateness which leads to difference which leads to violence.We do need spiritually humble people who put the lives of all mankind on equal footing & deals humbly with the world through foreign policy & humanitarian efforts.We are in a position to spread health wealth & love to many countries & focus on leading by example instead of fear

  • It's nice to hear those from other countries blessing our country. Thank you. We need it. I think there is so much deep ignorance and misunderstanding around the world of who/what America is & stands for, it's quite sad for us. Unfortunately, I discovered after 911, that so many foreigners are so brainwashed. If they only knew the history and the true ideals this land was founded on, they could see it differently.(not that Geo. Bush Jr helped the cause much. Good riddance to him.)

  • i miss Leann Rimes, where did she go?

  • Absolutely nowhere. She has been putting out a new album almost ever year and her new album Family came out last year and it's not selling nearly as good as it should be. Check it out, it's one of the best country albums we've had in a LONG time by any artist.

  • Hello All, Thank You to all of you folks from other lands..it did this one American's heart good to read your comments. To Closersource...please study, really study the history of this nation and then you will understand how truly fragile our liberty is...and not just from threats abroad. When you see and hear the Star Spangled Banner through the prism of history it is a powerful message.

    Best of luck.

  • I have a BA in History from Princeton. One of my main areas of focus was antebellum US History. Last time I checked that was around the time Francis Scott Key wrote the Star-Spangled Banner. If you read the whole text of the SSB you will see how irrelevant the words of are today. Besides wouldn't you want to sing about how beautiful this country is rather than be in a constant state of fear and loathing of (Barbary Pirates)? In the end it's a personal preference.

  • Actually, just to clarify for anyone who wants to know, the antebellum period is the period immediately preceding the Civil War. Most scholars consider the Kansas-Nebraska act to be the beginning of the period, and that was in 1854. However some people say it goes even farther back to 1812, in which case closersource would be correct, since Francis Scott Key wrote the SSB (poem) in 1814 after the War of 1812.

  • However, the SSB (song) wasn't adopted officially until 1889, and that was for the Navy. It didn't become the national anthem until much later, in 1931 during Herbert Hoover's term. That's after WWI. Somehow, I think it's still really relevant, especially if you consider the story of how FSK came to write the poem while watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British.

  • No matter how many enemies America has, no matter how many trials our great nation goes through, our flag will e'er wave. Land of the free and the home of brave, I'll love it to my dying day and I'm proud to be a American. God Bless the USA.

  • America, your freedom is my freedom!

    So don't let any wolf in sheep's clothing win the White House this fall.

  • Would this not be a much better national anthem than the Star Spangled Banner? Not only does it sound better but also there are no references to bombs, rockets, fighting, or wars. Just America the beautiful, for all its treasures, goodwill and brotherhood, from sea to shining sea?

  • I agree, it would be a better anthem. And for just once I would like to hear it the way it was written. They're changing the melody like they sing a rock song. And this band was way off on the notes.

  • im from South Korea, but god bless America

  • @hyune0404 We are all brothers and sisters. Thank you, and God Bless You.

  • God bless America.

  • im from south America, but god bless america

  • I'm from Europe, but I say God bless America.

  • Today is July 4th.

  • I like LeAnn Rimes but nothing like Mariah Carey singing this... in 1990 and after in 2005!

    anyway, this is a good version!

  • made me cry she's amazing and did this song justice

  • Fight for it, you guys, FIGHT FOR IT! You have so many inside your borders now, who are NOT there to love America. This Aussie would die fighting for America, where the best of the best reside, where God truly has shed His grace. Lucky bastards!

    Damn it, don't you know how BLESSED you are?

  • man, these people really love America...

  • yep

  • Beautiful voice, but she was out of time with the orchestra at times.

  • No, the orchestra was out of time with HER at times. It's up to them to keep up with the lead singer!
