When Being American Is Awesome: Jim Cornelisons National Anthem on 9 11 11

[NickSolin]

Easily one of the worst renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I've ever heard. Completely off tempo and the timbre was awful. He sounded like a Nazi giving orders while singing.

Aaron rodgers, not cool to dislike this video...

[ChuckTheSandwichGuy]

Better than any pop star's rendition any day.

OMG If this didn't move u are lifeless inside.This is not propaganda.This is how we do it in Chicago.Even befor 9/11.Checkout 91 nhl allstar game and you see.

[csbartonorgan83]

Give me Wayne Messmer any day over Cornelison. At least Wayne could fuckin' sing.

[ghy252]

@csbartonorgan83 this guy can sing man, hate to burst your bubble



[csbartonorgan83]

Call me un-patriotic, but I wouldn't stand for this, not anymore. I will no longer buy into the propaganda.

I get why people are excited about this, but really, I didn't think it was all that great. He belted it out, but it didn't really move me at all. I was hoping for better.

@vaughnjb You obviously didn't get the punt he put behind this version of the Star Spangled Banner, this event put us Americans through alot, (9/11) and a decade of war, this version to me, yells a pride of country, and that we will never give up in the name of freedom and liberty. God Bless America

[Seyekcub]

Now that is Awe inspiring !!

[TMW313]

Simply amazing.

[jordanv78]

If this doesn't move you, I don't know what to say. NO ONE does the anthem better than Jimmy C!

[mbtepp]

That was sung with heart and soul! Best I Ever heard.

[wewd]

Nobody does it better than Cornelison.

[heckler121]

...and... THE BEARS KICKED ASS!!!

[heckler121]

Are you kidding me?

That was awesome!!!

PRIDE BABY!!!

[HeyYou711]

He has a great voice, that's obvious, but I think he sang it WAY too fast, and I did not like the way he ended it in a rushed and strange way. So yea I'm disappointed on how it was sang.

[duke1425]

@HeyYou711 He sang it the way it was MEANT to be sung. Not like the, so called, pop-stars of today who extend and bastardize the song to show off their "vocal talents".

[HeyYou711]

@duke1425 Ok, whatever. But I'm saying I do not like the way he sang it!

[duke1425]

@HeyYou711 I'm saying that I loved the way he sung it because he did so the way it was MEANT to be sung. I'm saying that 99% of the "celebrities" that sing the anthem do a shit job and should be embarrassed. That's what I'M saying.
