Her version is nice....but Whitney Houston has delivered the MOST SUPERIOR performance of the National Anthem. Second to that is Jennifer Hudson....Beyonce....and then Carrie.
Very powerful voice, and with no music!!!!! The best vocal version thus far! Marving Gaye first with music, Whitney Houston Second, Mariah Carey third. But just vocals, this girl is number 1!
This is the best one I've heard, it's actually how it's sung and not a rendition that can't be sung with the audience. The whole purpose is to honor America.
Carrie Underwood is by far one of the best female singers. And it does me good to finally see someone actually sing our National Anthem correctly, and with such passion!
@ElectrikkPaperClipxx wat i find stupid is that christina whos way past her prime chose to do a fajillion vocal runs and melismas and alter the melody of the song to sing it her way to show off when she clearly can't even handle the high notes or her self induced runs. and to top it off she messed up the lyrics too. Carrie stuck to the original melody of the song and didnt add a thousand runs causing her to forget the lyrics and go off key every 10 seconds like christina.
Carries voice is amazing! I'm a huge fan of her and how can 5 people not like this! this song is for our country and how carrie uses her high voice makes it even better! I LOVE CARRIE UNDERWOOD SHE IS AN AMAZING SINGER!
i am british but i must say i am really hooked on america's national anthem i can't get enough of it...does that make me wrong???anyway this is the best version i have heard by far!!!
Carries does a wonderful job here. While I love most of the different versions sung or played by various artists, hers is so lovely and straightforward - you could teach a child or a new citizen the anthem just by listening to her. Nice that there's still room for a traditional version like this in the public's hearts (judging by the number of "likes" on this video).
She killed this....im a blk female i fight tears when i hear our anthem...she is number one...i am listening to many including Gaye and youngsters who give me more hope.
She is fantastic and she did a great job. I did notice however, she had to rush to finish the song at the end because the jets were approaching sooner than she'd expected. If she had just a little more time for interpretation, she could really knock it out of the park (pun intended).
THANK YOU CARRIE!!! Finally, an amazing talent that doesn't try to make OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM their own by dragging out a note, or singing parts with a different pitch. Sing the song like it's supposed to be sung and BE PROUD OF IT! Awesome job Carrie!
Carrie underwood without a doupt is the best singer that came off from american idol. she is a great singer an sounds the same as she does on the radio an not a lot of people can do that
I love how they have used the aid of the military during the National Anthem, Very fitting for the Boys and Girls, who give their lives for their country. Salute.!!!
I would give her the world if i could. Shebis so sexy in A classy way , so cute omg im in love with carrie . She reminds me of some girl u met in the city they look just alike by face . Im in love and i dont have a chance lol
every national anthem she has sung has stuck to the original tone of the song and she has never added her "interpretations" to it which in my opinion ruins the anthem. Very nice.
I looooove the fact that Carrie sticks true to the original melody of the anthem. My only thing is that I wish she wouldn't use her head voice on the "land of the free" verse. We all know that she is capable of belting it out without it. If she didn't, she would without a doubt be the best interpreter of the national anthem. LOVE YOU CARRIE!!!! :) Bring the Play On tour somewhere near Dallas on the second leg please :)
@englishjumper123 Haha. I just now noticed that I typed head voice :p I guess I just wasn't thinking when I was typing this comment. But I still stand by what I said, and even though I don't like that one part of her interpretation she is still my favorite anthem singer :)
@englishjumper123 head voice and falsetto are the same thing - tones from a singer's upper register. Chest voice or "belt" are from a singer's lower register. So dsf0035 was correct.
@englishjumper1123 You know what? You are correct about head voice and falsetto not being one and the same - but she's not singing falsetto. In a woman, falsetto is the whistle register - the notes Mariah Carey uses at that same point in this song. Carrie is singing in head voice here.
So that makes you half correct, but still thoroughly rude. Stop yelling.
@nightswimmer99 No whistle begins at E6 for both genders, it is a hyper extension of Head Voice, both men and woman can scream.
Falsetto is the oscillation of only the back part of the larynx, and the vocal folds don't fully close, as a result, lots of air escapes, giving falsetto its airy sound.
This action of oscillation is possible in women easily, so women DO have falsetto
Head Voice is simply the upper part of Modal Voice, the oscillation is full, the resonance point is higher than chestV
Best Ever!
