[auntreeree123]

WOW It sent chills up and down my spine!!! A beautiful voice to match a beautiful young lady.

[perfsmurf]

You know what, in my years I've heard many famous singers try to put their own little spins on the national anthem at major sporting events...but I have to tell you, when it was written with a certain melody, it was written that way for a reason...and to hear Sam bust it out the same way I remember it from way back to my grammer school days, obviously with a more angelic voice than a room fun of 9 year olds...now that is what I call the trademark of America

You go girl...you have my vote!

[jimmyjames102590]

BTW!!!

I have checked out the " competition "
