  • the worlds most successful pop group! you got that right! the very best and there will be no other. Pop Legends

  • That was awful. Awesome job my ASS.

  • Wow worlds most successful???? That's *Nsync. They had more platinum gold album whatevers. I will always be an nsync fan cause they sang this even better. But it was over all purday good.

  • @adubcameronquiseng Wrong. I like *NSYNC but BSB is the #1 selling boyband of all time. That's just recorded fact. They have sold over 130 million records. *NYSNC was #10 I believe. They did good first week sales in the US but overall worldwide BSB had them beat.

  • They did a wonderful job!!!!

  • Why do people have to boo artist. If you don't want to cheer then just don't. no need to boo. very unsportsmanlike. also, they did an awesome job. love BSB!!!

  • gay

  • @fidke stupid and retarded

  • @fidke CANADIAN

  • Better than Christina Agulara.

  • If they knew BSB since 1993 like I have and how hard those guys work on singing everyday, even when their off, they wouldn't have booed, especially since Nick.(The tall blonde) is from Tampa, Flordia as his hometown.

  • the world's most successful pop group. 6 words for ya!

  • only exciting part about the game+ halftime

  • i don't get the point of booing for an artists that will sing the national anthem. the anthem isabout being united and be proud of your home!!

  • well at least BSB are still together and going strong. I did feel sorry for them because they got booed by the crowd. I thought this was a great version.

  • I will listen to NSYNC FOR THE REST OF MY Life thank u...THIS VERSION IS CRAP COMPARE TO NSYNCs..NSYNC HAVE SO MUCH PASSION AND FEELING i get goosebumps everytime i hear it..BSB ARE JUST PLAIN Showing off boring...stop singin Bsb u embarrass yrselfs

  • @MrBOBBYOO6 u said it

  • Nicky looked so cute <3

  • duuh

  • That is a beautiful version!!!

  • alot of people forget that this song was written at a time when americans were fighting for theyr freedom against tyranny....now, when i see the flag of america, i think of tyranny....our government and the people that support it, have destroyed america...this is no longer a land of the free, it is the land of oppressive government and dictatorship...a land where the government is the master, and the people are subjects of the master...the opposite of the america over 200 years ago

  • @longfootbuddy If ours was a land of an oppressive government, don't you think your post would have disappeared by now (along with you)? How is government the master when you have Fox News, the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal and drudgereport tearing apart the President daily and Gov Palin makes a fortune with her speaking tours across the country? Where is the dictatorship when Republicans can vote against Obama's agenda in Congress and campaign against it for the midterm elections?

  • @ers586 amazing how you say im not oppressed because i can write this comment.. the government not only steals my income, but it forces me to pay tax on my property, and things i buy... and what happens if i break one of theyr many rules they set up for me,? they throw me in prison, and if i put up a fight, death to me...they steal peoples children they decide arent raising them right, they take my money and give it to who they choose.. they require permits to exercise rights..should i go on?

  • @longfootbuddy Earlier you said our country was ONCE free. But taxes go back to the founding of our republic. Under Pres. Washington, we taxed whiskey! The Revolutionary cry, after all, was No Taxation WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, not No Taxation. Reasonable people may differ on the proper amount of taxes or their expenditure, but when you call taxation "theft," do you expect to have the services of the police, fire, and the military, air traffic controllers and Center for Disease Control for free?

  • @ers586 the taxes are unreasonable, and the idea of stealing percentages of a person's income or collecting tax based on what he owns is downright stupid.. im want extreme downsizing of goernment, not this bloated, all controlling bohemouth that requires sucking up the citizens wealth to support it....i would be ok with it all if we could opt out of it, but as it is now, im stuck being robbed for serices i dont want...americans shouldnt be forced into contract with goernment like that

  • @longfootbuddy How can someone "opt out" of police & fire protection, medical research, air traffic control, food inspection, a vigilant military, the weather bureau, and a prison system to incarcerate the most violent offenders? How would you receive your salary since taxes pay the costs of printing US currency and punishing counterfeiters? Would you opt out of using dollars? If you want to opt out of organized society, go to Somalia where there are no taxes, no government, and utter chaos.

  • @longfootbuddy So much for an intelligent exchange of ideas. Your parents must be so proud of you

  • @ers586 clearly your end of the exchange is lacking intelligence, so why waste my time talking to you

  • @longfootbuddy Let's see. I present my arguments (how can one opt out of police and fire protection) and your response is, "Go #@^* yourself." If that's the best you can do, go back to watching your Confederate videos and leave the rest of us alone.

  • @ers586 ive said all i need to in my previous comments...anyone with any sense knows im right..you appearently dont have enough brain power to understand it, or perhaps your just in favor of more government control over us "free" americans...either way, theres no need for me to continue explaining or arguing with a fool like yourself...theres plenty of blind fools like you.. im not complaining about reasonable taxes, im talking about the unreasonable taxing to support a bloated, oppressive gov

  • @longfootbuddy Earlier you wrote, "taxes are unreasonable" and compared it to theft,. You wrote, "The government steals my income" and wanted to "opt out" of it. Now you are saying, "im not complaining about reasonable taxes, im talking about the unreasonable taxing..."

    I'm so glad I could persuade you to change your mind. Now you agree with my earlier post where I wrote that "Reasonable people may differ on the proper amount of taxes or their expenditure."

    Game, set, and match!

  • @ers586 i said, "the taxes are unreasonable"..and they are.. the amount of taxes, the means of getting the taxes, and the uses of the taxes, are all unreasonable for american government.. if you want to pay outrageous amounts of tax to support a huge nanny government, fine. if you want to have all the absurd regulation, fit for toddlers, fine,but id like to opt out of such nonsense...now you can pretend you taught me something, but youll only be fooling your fellow sheep that happen to read this

  • @ers586 i didnt vote for mccain or palin or obama, i voted for the guy that shouldv been presiden, ron paul...and we know how that turned out in this glorious democracy...im sick of it

  • @longfootbuddy I agree!

    It's both parties falt, that we're in this mess! But remember it all started with a man named Bush that wasn't so bright.

  • @shanshanrere started with bush? hahahah .....

  • @longfootbuddy Yes the debt bloody Americans are in started with Bush!

  • @shanshanrere uh...no, america's problem didnt start with bozo bush

  • @longfootbuddy Um.. what palnet are you living on! This shit has been going through for over the past 6 years didn't start with a black man named Obama thats for damn sure.

  • @shanshanrere hahah, no kidding...damn.. it started hundreds of years ago

  • @MrBOBBYOO6 BSB suck at harmonizing? LOL, you're clearly tone deaf.

  • @MrBOBBYOO6 lol you made me laugh....then you should only listen to Nsync for the rest of your life. congrats.

  • I don't care what anyone says, those guys are talented.

  • They are incredible!

  • If i'm not mistaken, super bowl is the 2nd biggest event in terms of Sports events.. The First one of course the Olympics..

  • @airhead03031989 The first one is probably the soccer world cup. It might not be big in America, but the rest of the world is watching it right now. It is definitely bigger than the Superbowl.

  • @airhead03031989 wrong

  • when was this? I can't velieve that BSB sang the National Anthem in the Super Bowl 2 times... this only tells that BSB is the greatest pop group of all times, and one of the greatest vocals in the world...

  • Makes me proud to be an American.

  • O_O wow! Howie started it off! Usyually its Brian. but DAMN!! Howie slounds anmazing! like an angel.... :)

  • Does that white boy have corn rows?? God Bless America!

  • lool, buuu loooool

  • What unsuitable accompaniment

  • 1:21 STOP SHOWBOATING!!!

  • Comment removed

  • they sing in tune but the music sometimes doesn't go together with what they sing..

  • LOL.

    Sorry but Nsync's version at the Olympics is still better.

  • Why have guests singers sing the national anthem if they've already got a LOUD orchestra in the backround. Midway through you couldn't even hear the Backstreet Boys. I think they should of just let the orchestra play their version , it would've been better. Whenever you have singing guest stars its because you actually want to hear them sing it.

  • this wasnt good... they needed more practice. Maybe they should have pre recorded it. Poor harmony arrangements and transition.

  • It wasn't their harmony arrangements OR their transitions that sucked.  It was the microphones. They'd go off and on and get the volume raised and lowered without reason by whoever was controlling the levels. If the sound system was handled correctly, you'd have heard this song the way it was meant to be heard and it would have been perfect.

  • sounds like they missed an entrance. but they recovered

  • That was pretty good. I'm really glad they didn't change it into some kind of pop song. Because in my opinion, the Star Spangled Banner should never be messed with like that.

  • @stinie363 is this the same superbowl in 2001 when britney nsync n aerosmith did the halftime show?

  • I gotta hand it to these guys. They didnt turn it into some hip hop bullshit that disgraced the anthem like some other douchebags like to do.

  • 1:10 nice combover dude

  • I am so glad Howie got to sing a big part of it, he sounds great!

  • fantastic

  • ABSOBLOODYLUTELY FANTASTIC!

  • sounds great...

  • GOOSE!

  • This is nothing compared to the October 2008 National Anthem they sang- now that is amazing. Sorry to say the Boys did not do this version well at all. Very rarely do they disappoint.

  • They can really harmonize and the blonde hair boy is a majpr cutie..LoL..They did an amazing. job! <3

  • I've been a fan of the Backstreet Boys in 15 years and I must say that they are just getting better and better. Gotta love them!

  • I love how they all salute the flag while singing. Sooo many people don't do that. Wheather it was planned or just straight patriotism, one of the best gestures I've seen.

  • Okay, both are good, stop bashing Nsync...geez ppl. I love Nsync better, but I ain't bashing BSB. To say Nsync sucks is being ignorant, go watch Nsync singing this at the 2002 OLYMPICS...in 5 PART HARMONY.........ACCAPELLA!!! Yeah, that's right, I said it. Good job BSB, although the tech guys need to hone their skills, because there was some tech problems. Anyways, both rock, I prefer Nsync because they sing in harmony more.

  • @brownsweetsugar

    just correcting something you said.

    BSB sings in harmony ALL the time.

    its why they're still around cuz they're just good vocalists.

    this version isnt as good i admit but the one from the 2008 world series is acapella and completely amazing and there's harmonies. tight harmonies.

    so just wanted to say that.

    but you're right both groups are good in their own way :)

  • Yeah you're right, they do harmonize all the time. I stand corrected.

    What I meant to say is that I prefer Nsync because I like the type of harmonies they choose. I find they are more adventurous in their harmonies and music arrangements. That is my personal opinion.

    I also like Nsync better because they put more Acapella songs on their CDs. To my dismay, BSB didn't do this a lot. They can do Acapella, I wish they just put more acapella tracks on their CDs.

  • yeah you're totally right.

    NSYNC had "i thought she knew" on no strings attached and i dont think BSB has any acapella tracks except maybe one or two on those burger king CDs.

    but they're incredible live acapella

    .

    and you're right NSYNCs star spangled banner had chords that kinda made me go "whoa ive never heard that before".

    its so nice to see a comment about actual harmonies and arrangements and opinions based on knowledge of music rather than just "nysnc or bsb sucks!" you know?

  • lol...I love how you respond back. I'm happy that some agrees knows what I'm talking about.

    I find it a bit pointless when people say, "Nsync/BSB suck" and that's it. I find most of the comments are a bit juvenile and not well formed. If individuals are devoted to one group...fine. There's not need to bash the other one, you just don't like them. If you don't like them for a certain reason then state it. Provided they are reasons with sufficient grounds. I get annoyed when ppl argue with me.

  • I'm so in love with Nick <33

    x

  • I used to believe in this song. I used to believe in America, until it somehow turned into "The Land of the Offended". Im surprised you dont see many more people confined to wheelchairs. I mean, how do they walk without spines?

  • they were not out of tune in the middle part...its just that their mic maybe by accident, turned off. and only the bass blending was heard. but then the mic turned on again after a short while if you guys notice. its all technicalities..

  • my music teacher thought me this

  • no need to fight over nsync and bsb!!! both are pretty damn good.

  • Of course they aren't Nsync. BSB are the ICON of POP MUSIC, the LIVING LEGEND.Sorry but Nsync was all about Justin and JC!

  • They sure not Ncync, because they sing much better. In Nsync just JC have a very good voice and Justing always sang with high-pitch falsetto, which is not a voice at all. In BSB every singer can be a solo artist but Ncync always was Justin and Jc and backup vocal. Sorry to disapoint you, but Ncync 7 years like they gone for good, and BSB are still around and still can sell arenas.

  • I agree with you...

  • Of course not! If they were like N'Sync, they'd suck

  • wtf?

  • Look how youg Ray Lewis and Strahan look.

    Even Kerry Collins doesn't look that old.

    And i love the enthusiasm from 1:09 to 1:11.

  • nick and howie r the hottest out of all the backstreet boys

  • they should've sang it acapella

  • that wasnt that good

  • Wow! this is just one of their greatest Star Spangled Banner performance...I miss them together...but i heard that they are working on a new record with the five of them together...I pray to God that this would happen..A lot of BSB fans are really craving for them...Merry Christmas!

  • Phenomenal...

  • those old days were nice. whatever happened to those boy groups who don't sound trashy or sing degrading things? i miss the backstreet boys! ]= i still have their cds...

  • i used to be a big fan of them until they broke up and nick carter went all drunk and whatnot. now aaron carter is too. i miss them like that.

  • They haven't broke up! It was a BREAK!You know what that is?And now they are singing together as always! In 2005 they realeased an album, in 2007 they released another album and last year they started the UNBREAKABLE TOUR and they working again on a new album.Aha you're a FAN, sure.....

  • hey catfish4975 go check your ears and thank you for entertaining the BSB fans with your ignorant comments!

  • Ignorant? Well its clear that they sing like women. So why not just get a woman to sing it in the first place? Its terrible how they used their "artistry" to ruin the song. Bastard cock suckers.

  • Yes ignorant comments - you know when you say stupid things without real arguments. I've heard their voices to many times in their songs and sorry to disappoint you but they have great men voices.And in this song are great too!It's terrible how mad and envious you are on them- that's why you're talking crap!He,He..

  • I think you are the one whos ignorant by being brainwashed into thinking that this is good music. Its shit. They should be ashamed. I'm ashamed. I'm glad you finally agree with me. I was getting worried!

  • sorry but your brain is more than washed.I think it's broken or something.Actually it's really good music and they have nothing to be ashamed cause they all are really multitalented even if you are too ignorant to realize that.And now talk to the hand cause I've already said everything I had to say I mean the truth of course and all your bad talk can't change it.Kisses!!!

  • ffs, If you don't like the Backstreet Boys then STOP comment all of their videos your fucking asshole!

  • idiot

  • they sound like ninny girls?hmm is that why they're one of the most successful boy bands in history? are you seriously gonna say that.

    alexandrarop your right,this person is so ignorant.you obviously don't know what a good music sounds like.

  • This is the best version of the star spangled banner i have ever heard.

  • take away the music drowning their voices out and see how good it sounds...

  • If this is supposed to be a negative comment then I advise you to listen well.If you did not notice they sang the National Anthem without any music, it's called ACAPELLA singing and it's obvious that they have great voices and ability to sing but of course this is not news.BSB always sang and still sings ACAPELLA!

  • it sounds better accpella i think but this was great too

  • amazing as usual

  • nick birthday is janurary 28th!

  • i remembered, it was on january 28th 2001, is was nick`s birth, too.

  • Wonderful!! BSB are perfect!

  • I have to say that I love this version of the national Anthem that BSB sang, cause Howie sang more, but The world series yesterday was the best!!!!!!

    KTBSPA

  • imposoble voices perfect backstreet boys

  • i love backstreet boys

    son lo mejor en el mundooooooo

    la mejor banda de pop de todos los tiempos

    i loved backstreet boys the best

    i love AJ

  • heart-melting voices!

  • Damn...is it the audio on this vid, or do the instrument accompaniment drown out the singers?

  • boyz ii men version is so good!! and so is take 6 version!!!!!

  • that mah doode wit the braids he so cool

  • Anyone who judges this video is crazy. The mics were so fkd up and the audio was so unbalanced. They were probably on point with the melodies and harmonies but YOU CANT TELL. NO ONE CAN with this crappy audio.

  • You gotta be kidding. They are not really manufactured if you know the history but who cares?  They are fantastic singers. Hell even Elton John said they were the best singers he's ever sang with. If you hear some of their acapella stuff and listen to the vocals, they are pretty damn good.- Cheesy pop songs and lyrics aside, they are very good singers. This version blows though cause the audio

  • u suck!!

  • I must agree with johni43. They are not manufactured.After all they are still here singing and making music after 15 years.That tells it all!You must be tondeaf too.They are great great singers.But who cares what you say they are a LIVING LEGEND and all your bad talk can't change that!

  • Wonderful performence Howie yes good

  • dang did u hear them blend once howie's solo was done, u didnt hear one voice lead. beauitful

  • the beginning sucked.

    and the rest wasnt that good either...

    the best IS THE DIXIE CHICKS!!!1

  • hmm..boyz ii men and take 6 take the cake on best national anthem.

  • get off their jock. that was the worse version of the star spangled banner ive heard in a while. i say this even though i love the backstreet boys. just being truthful.

  • holy shit

  • Howie sings a Note to high at 1.20 - 1.25

  • wow beautiful

  • not bad, but the best 2 do it by FAR, has 2 be TAKE 6! I dare any1 2 tell me other wise!

  • Ok I dare you to listen to the Dixie Chicks and tell me it's not the greatest rendition of the national anthem ever.

  • i would say Marvin Gaye's rendition is the best ever

  • amen to take 6 :]

  • Take Six and their Harmonies! I'm not even an american, but their rendition make me feel left out!

  • i like the more free syle version they did

  • This is the best version of the Star Spangled Banner that I've ever heard, hands down.

  • i like n'sync's version more..!!! its because n'sync's version has more harmonies and their voices where as one...!!

  • Nice job guys

  • Why do you need 5 guys if you're only going to sing 2 parts?

  • Backstreet Rules.They are so well balanced.

    But does'nt howie look like a member of Il Divo?LOl

  • Amazing !

  • they should have had someone else sing the beginning...sry but its the truth

  • the baltimore ravens i live in baltimore

  • im just wondering what the heck they're doing there...i agree with u.

  • like it, but more harmonies would have been better

  • awesome

  • i do like this version, but as NSYNC is acapella (in their version) i have to give them better scores haha.

  • i hate the backstreet boys but they sang this pretty good! i was wayyy surprised!!

  • after reading comments about Nsync and BSB, i actually thought both those bands sang together in the video. LOL

    coz everyone kept saying "Nsync is better", "No, BSB is", etc..

    but anyways, it was awesome and i liked it!

  • NSYNC and BSB have different styles. They both work. BSB shares vocals and has stronger individual singers, but Nsync has better harmony. Both need talent and charisma to make the groups work. I mean, look at O-Town. Remember them? Oh wait, they sucked, so no.

  • NSYNC and The BSB did a good job on this. But I have to go with NSYNC. and they can sing. go listen to them sing the national anthem

  • no... justin and jc can sing the rest suck. every bsb can sing thats why backstreets better

  • mhhmm. as far as the Star spangled banner goes NYSNC sounds better. that is MY opinon and you have yours.

  • um, they can all sing. ther r songs and commercials wer an individual sings. like the chillies commercial. it showed lance can sing. and when they sang happy birthday 2 rosie o'dannal it showed joey can sing. ther is also a song just 4 chris. so i have know idea wut ur talking about

  • I was born in the same hospital Brian was! It's an awesome story oh they rock!

  • is he gay?

  • I LOVE BRIANN!
