Read the Communist Manifesto,

(Equal obligation of all to work in industrial armies [8th pt. of communist manifesto]) GOOGLE the others, because they are just as devastating.

[weirdopeople75]

[hockey1973]

Ok, can we give these girls some press instead of those booty shaking 7 year old "single ladies"?

[393coupe]

Damn nice job ladies!!!

[ALPHASASYLUM]

these young ladies are so awesome. So much better than any professional that sings this and adds their own twist and ends up screwing it up

[nandi12341]

elliot you shouldnt be talking when they sound way better than you i can already tell by the mood they sang on tv shows and oprah even said they will be the next child stars

[CindyFriedr]

The Star Spangled Banner This was at Texas Tech University Basketball game . . .. The National Anthem is sung by five young ladies. You have never heard it performed better than this! An entire arena remains completely silent throughout the song. You could hear a pin drop. Take a moment to listen to this. You will not regret it. The two young ladies on the right are six years old. The two in the middle are seven and the one on the left is eight.

[halibalu754]

AMAZING!!! goosebumps all over

[robertowatts94]

#VIDEOPOSTERID#, This is why I play basketball, along with all the crossovers. If you can't dunk yet, you GOTTA start training. I highly recommend you to try the one I'm using - 50 inch vertical (dot) com - I m 5 7 and I can dunk!

[webkinzskatergirl45]

Texas Tech University Basketball

[ezsilver]

WOW! Send this to the Democrats. Maybe this will jog their memory of the Oath they took!

[orgbadbob]

Get a life.

Obviously you don't have one.

[ezsilver1]

@orgbadbob I have one since I don't normally post on Youtube. But I guess you don't since you seem to wait around to badmouth people. I guess you OBVIOUSLY don't like yourself and must be somehow involved in the taking of money for corrupt politicians! So who do you work for? What democrat is that?

[orgbadbob]

This was a video about some very talented kids. You turn it around and make your teabagging platform. Try going on drudge or some other place (try another country). This comment section should be on topic about how good the girls sounded.

[ezsilver1]

@orgbadbob Yes, I know that! They are extremely talented. I am concerned for the kids more than you could ever fathom! I am not a Teabagger but they have real concerns about freedom. And every Democrat should hear these great kids because they have lost sight of our countries meaning and spirit. I made a factual Statement. Not making a Platform.

[orgbadbob]

@ezsilver Are you from Texas?? Then I apologize you are from another country.

[ezsilver1]

@orgbadbob No, NH> Live Free or Die. I'm sure you as a leftist will agree with the die. So no more comments from me concerning this.

[jodavidable]

@orgbadbob  yeah,the best!

[liltrezy]

sooo guud !!

[clayfeathers]

I got chills!  Awesome!!! The next new group for the younger generation? Could put Milley Cirus down on the ratings!! YOU GIRLS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

[stratman06]

The two young ladies on the right are six years old. The two in the middle are seven and the one on the left is eight.

I'm not even American, and these girls moved me almost to tears. Bravo, I say.

[suefrue]

@stratman06 no, they were ages 6,7,8,8,10...but currently they are 10,13,13,and 15, the second one on the right isnt in the group anymore

[MassD3stroyer]

They sing very good, I'd hire em for a record..

[isabellabeautiful]

WOW! they're good. I like how they don't drift off in to random notes, that it's about the anthem, not stardom. It has a stronger impact this way.

[DaniKim86]

[shadow244728139]

[KimMessengerOfRap]

WOW! EXCELLENT HARMONY!

[ferrumgrad06]

WOW - i get chills hearing them sing - EXCELLENT job ladies!!!!!!!!!

[cst270]

These amazing girls are the Cactus Cuties from Lubbock, TX. They have 2 official channels here at YT. YouTubeDotcom/user/bullhead003 and YouTubeDotcom/user/CactusCutie­sBackstge

They have many more amazing performances besides the National Anthem at those channels. They also have a website theCactusCutiesDotCom They are named from the Cactus Theater in Lubbock, TX where they originated from.

[tjenner2]

Beauty at its best. This is the Cactus Cuties from Texas. The High note is from Madeline Mae Powell.

These are professionals and gifted with Genius. Obviously something that most critics here are lacking in. To understand the tempo and why not five microphones you only need to do your research before commenting.

God has blessed these children. May their hearts carry this throughout the rest of their lives.

[SpartanLazer101]

who hits the high note at the end

[HiwattGuitarsDDR]

Yeah, they're good, but..... Why have they set the tempo to that of a funeral march? This performance is not keeping with the spirit of the National Anthem.

[Jusmine984]

Well, whose version of the National Anthem are you referring to?

[HiwattGuitarsDDR]

American version, Jusmine. I feel that the performers had attempted this conservative approach, and with considerable success. However, closer adherance to the proper tempo would give an incredible boost to an already fine rendition. Their potential is far greater that what we're hearing in this particular performance. Generally, I had hoped for intelligent discussion on the matter. Those who are publishing insults ought to be ashamed of themselves.

[stratman06]

It only clocks in at 1:53. Any faster and we wouldn't have time to savour every last bit of it.

[mustachelady]

WOW!!

[Tasadaru]

Absolutely love it. The best! The solution to 1913 is the spirit of 1776.

[ducksmith]

Fabulous!!!!!

[ucjb2]

Excellent!

[fromthinair]

If all Americans can agree that this is beautiful, then maybe we can still unite this country

[mafa2]

This isn't even my national anthem, but it still gave me chills, wonderfully done, pretty damn amazing IMO.

[godsalone]

For their age that is amazing. they were dead on pitch and enunciation. Whoever thinks it was slow or whatever, that is usually referred to as artistic rendering or artistic license. basically it just means that they can sing it however they want because they have no accompaniment. Also, I love to hear reminders about our great country. Thanks girls!

[PuppyTN]

You killed it girls! Great job!

[texasboy040]

Pretty good, I think it's too slow. But that's just my opinion.

[drum817]

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTLY AMAZING !!!!!!

[Elliot84]

they are dead in tune man. that's absolutely unbelievable, if this isn't the definition of angelic singing i don't know what is.

[icare4you123]

What a range these girls have. I wish them well.

[BigGeezer325]

Obama hated it.Palin loved it

[kraftie714]

What?

[BigGeezer325]

Obama will not even puy his hand over his

chest when anyone is singing the National

anthem,The people that voted for him were all

fooled by the liberal media.

[maznoe]

Can we please leave behind the partisan politics for a moment? Can we not all just enjoy this moment... as Americans?

[boilersmoke]

NASCAR needs to have these girls sing the National Anthem before every race. The people that they have sing it now really suck more and more with every race.

[disneyking09]

Eh Meh Gawg!

[kgc213]

Truly talented! I am teary eyed and have goosebumps! Beautifully sung!

[86BenCahoon]

that can't really be them!!

[skydivinggraffie]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[charla1379]

They probably only had a 4-channel mixer.

[enidangel]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!

[notmissinout]

WOW, that was amazing!

I have goosebumps.

Way to Rock our National Anthem girls.

Truly beautiful!!

[aubreeandalismom]

Awesome girls !!!

[lazydayfarm]

damn!

[imawesome88]

holy crap

[0oBubblyo0]

WOW! amazing! When was this taped? Was it taped this year?

[mountainDreamer]

Feb. 9th...its in the info ;-)

[vjones1952]

After watching a few more of these kids' video performances, I now know it is Madeline Powell singing the high note (check out her solo version of the Anthem) AND that these girls are older now. You GO girls!!!

[vjones1952]

Absolutely incredible and flawless. Major kudos to the girls AND their teacher. Not only were they right on with pitch BUT their word pronunciations and cut offs were excellent!!! I can't WAIT to hear these girls in 10 years. Hope they will still be making music together. This is a gift!!!!

PS Would like to know which one of the girls hit the high note on "free" :0)

[AliceEnGrey]

I think it was the little girl towards the end.

[Cearrbhach]

Wow! Great job!!

[topfueldeuce]

Phenominal!!! That was absolutely beautiful.

[mrspsycho]

Awesome!!!!!!!!

[MartiSongbird]

OUTSTANDING!!! I have sung 3 and 4 part, family harmony for 35 years, was in choir in school for 7 years, 3 of those Robed Choir, and in church choir for 30 years; I listened intently for mistakes; I heard NONE! Well done!

[britters716]

AMAZING!! these girls are incredible!!

[RedRaider21]

can we not afford 5 microphones?
