honestly though, the american national anthem is pretty bad. it doesn't sound good or sound powerful, it's slow, and its hard to remember, hard to sing along and just overall bad.
it's more of song than anthem (and not even a good one at that).
Its a shame she's not more well known, she blows so many current pop divas out of the water with her vocals... shows you how much a good agent/ marketing matters. Girl, go get Beyonce's management, B's got mediocre vocals, or better yet, get Britney's agent, cause that girl can't even sing.
dang she has hella soul wen she sings this song amand so black ppl praz the lort! lol! but she got hella soul my nigga! i love her ,! she is my new wifey! lol! ,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I thought she was canadian. This song is becoming too much of a contest song, it's loosing its soul... Although I enjoyed it but I would prefer it to be sung by any american singer...
where can I get the national anthem sang by Alicia Keys? I know she did it once, I saw it here in Youtube, but I can't find it anymore. Has it been taken out? I just remember that Alicia had done a great job.
SHE MURDERED IT! Kill is an understatement. Murder is such a stronger verb choice here. She's no mega international pop star and I'm pretty sure when the audience heard her name, they were a bit apprehensive. Then after it was done, all they could say was well damn.
OMG... i haven't heard someone turn this out since Ms. Houston herself.... Ms. Fiona u r something something and in an industry of warmed over artist... U R THE TRUTH BOO! i just downloaded ur album on itunes and i'm mad i didn't know about u sooning so i could have been jammin' on u while i was still warm outside, but it's cool... u gonna bring in 2010 with me and we riding thru next year with u! be sure to come to STL so i can hear ur skills live!
this girl is really winning me over.... i love the richness in her voice! its good to hear somebody other than Beyonce and Rihanna (sorry, but they are becoming oversaturated)
get over yourself lol if shes gonna appeal to an american artist shes gonna have to sing the national anthem one time or another im sure she nots ashamed she was there and was asked to sing if u look up artist like mary j blige danity kane hell whitney houston they all sang it at one time in their career
she's not doing it to appeal to us you dont see aubrey graham hitting the american anthem lol shes embracing our country and used this as more of a way to get her name out think about it you go to a game and here this phenominal singer singing your countries anthem your gonna look that artist up im sure she would be top of the charts either way im just making a point you shouldnt take her singing our anthem as shes embarrassed...
she's a good singer, but the " Star Spangle Banner " is a difficult song to sing, alotta american pop stars can't sing and has never song this song, the greats Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Patty LaBelle has memorable performances singing it. Marvin Gayes performance was considered the best and is still talked about till this day.
why would she be the next selena??? that makes no sense. Selena was mexican american from Texas with Tejano music influence and Melanie is Guyanese from Canada with Soco, reggae and soul influences.
first of all little girl no one was getting an attitude with u. 2nd Don't be mad b/c ur embarassed that u didnt know Melanie wasnt mexican american. U were comparing her to someone in a whole other music genre and voice. U didnt say she was good...u were asking a question. Thats why ur little comeback was weak! Anyways don't reply back...i hate little bitches who complain on the internet when they know they are wrong!
OH MY God. That was so beautiful. How come she is not super famous yet. I don't know what is going on. How come she is not more famous and popular than rihanna i don't know. This is crazy. The whole must know about this girl now. She is too good a singer to keep her quiet. I hope melanie fiona gets her due man. She is music.
You are too right man. Lets not even go there with rihanna i am tired of that chick. She is a one trick pony. Melanie is so versatile she mixes it up. I heard dis track called "magic" and it once again shows how great she is adapting to mainstream pop r&b as well as her retro groove and reggae thing she got going on. FIRE!!!
Holy smokes. I thought this would be a challenge for her, but DAMN!! Melanie killed it again. She should be a big star lets hope they promote her properly. I am still blown away!! You right i dont think i heard a better version to this next to whitneys iconic performance. Those runs were crazy!!
yo ya need to check out kelly rowland version of "star spangle banner" she did a great job. people see her as a backup singer for destiny child lol but she did a better job then beyonce's version. ppl sleep on kelly.
fyi i love melanie fionas version she killed it kudos to her
yes melanie is amazing ; can't wait til she blows up .!!! && people need look pass beyonce, cause she isn't the best singer ever.!! ima bigger fan of melanies. [=
Please dont compare these 2 artists. I think they are phenomenol in there own right. I luv me some Bee but i think that Melanie, having heard her live ish can throw down with Ms Carter. It is exciting when someone of her talent comes onto the scene. It is so refreshing to listen to someone with raw talent and such great spirit. More power to both of them.
i really like melanie fiona i think shes has a amazing voice and her songs walk on by and priceless are the really good but this wasnt, it was out of tune - did someone say it was the best theyv heared beyonce sang it like 100 x better - but, thats because she a superstar - i still like melanie tho ;)
Not all singers sound alike and Melanie's sounded wonderful to me. Everyone cant sing the National Anthem, its a fairly difficult song to sing. Plus, so what if Beyonce is a superstar, NO ONE sings this song better than Whitney Houston. Period
Very nicely done but no performance has topped Marvin Gaye's 1983 national anthem at the NBA All Star Game for me, simply amazing. Look it up on here.
