[JoyceJennings]

Guess Carl Lewis took an Ric Flair to the voicebox.

[hillh1985]

Lmao

[DevinJMorrison]

And the Rockets....RIC FLAIR!!!

[KMas89]

@DevinJMorrison LMAO

[TecHyyHD]

And the ROCKets Rick Fas

[Bigrobkerr]

First off he is not a singer. Secondy he obviously did not rehearse it enough. Thirdly it is way beyond his natural key...but that goes back to him being a track star not a singer.

[tripleheshy]

@Bigrobkerr Then fourthly, what the fuck was he doing singing the national anthem in the first place!!!!

[Mirren81]

and the rockets....... RAWFFFAD

[deeanthony09]

raa-a ....UH Oh

[cb1tf]

@1234chad1234 Hey dummy, just to let you know there plenty black guys(Ne-Yo, Brain Mc.Knight, R.Kelly, Boyz ll Men) who have sung the national anthem really good! Just because Mr. Lewis did a terrible job don't try to lable.... I would love to hear how you would sound!

[NaomiPetals]

ESPN sent me here as well lol

[XJumpManReturnsX]

and the rockets...Rick flair... ESPN sent me here

[MaxxPainX5]

Carl+US Anthem=Fail!

[CSJones82]

Omg I have laughed until my belly hurts! Maybe this will ease my contractions! lol

[GOFLuvr]

Wow, this was even worse than Rosanne Barr's rendition, and she was absolutely trying her hardest to suck at singing it!

[Bigrobkerr]

@GOFLuvr no, her version was disgraceful and annoyingly awfull. His was bad in a funny way.

[GOFLuvr]

@Bigrobkerr Uhhhhhhhhhh.... Both Barr *AND* Lewis were disgraceful! I'm sure you were factoring in malicious intent, but even when you do count the malice, Rosanne still did a better job. (I'll confess to having a bias in favor of female vocalists, but whatever...)

But at least neither Rosanne Barr or Carl Lewis managed to disgrace things more than Lucy Lawless did! I didn't see it, but I read she did a National Anthem performance that resulted in more boobage than Janet Jackson.

[Quincydellic]

I hope he used his running skills to run out of the building after such a debacle.

[1234chads1234]

black men cant sing the national anthem proven fact.

[zomj]

Tosh needs to web redemption this. LOL

[LakotaDreams]

Wow!  That was painful!

[13ilovesammie]

LMBO!! EPIC FAILURE

[lordreed2]

I love how he couldnt hit the high note so he went low with it LMAO

[sillychrissy85]

Is it possible to hate America after listening to Carl Lewis butcher the National Anthem? Lol. 1000x FAIL!!!!

[EmperorTokugawa]

Not as horrifying as Roseannes, but 10x funnier.

[Airsoftcleaner]

@danw2112 Good oneLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Solowizard]

Makes you wonder if the Einsteins who invited him to sing ever bothered to ask if he knew the words, and if he could sing for them first.

.

Talk about BackAsswards!

[questions117]

Red glare! Croak :) lmao

[nicolesnitchie]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOO

AND THE ROCKETS!!!! RED GLARE!!!!!!!!!

[SolsticeBurningmusic]

uhoh

[clemoldschool]

The worst singing of the National Anthem at a Sporting or important event in our country.

[meganalo]

the best part was the "Uh oh!" at the 20second mark lol!

[CiCie777]

Rehearsal is important... Dont do what you can't and you find that out in rehearsal...

[drunkendragon182002]

i lost my voice and watching this video made my throat hurt so bad. He knew he couldnt hit that note but he tried anyway thats why he said uh oh afterwards lmao (ouch)

[dopplesoldners]

@drunkendragon182002 That's not why he said uh-oh. He said uh-oh because he forgot the words of the National Anthem. What I want to know is, do YOU know the National Anthem? How did you miss that one?

[drunkendragon182002]

@dopplesoldners Why are you trying to spoil the moment? Go somewhere man

[drunkendragon182002]

@dopplesoldners And actually your wrong. This is the short version. Theres another version without video where he sings longer. 2nd off hes says "Uh oh, ill make up for it now" which is an indication that he knew he fucked up. So please know what your talking about before you TRY to come at me

[dopplesoldners]

@drunkendragon182002 I watched this version. I didn't preorder Carl Lewis' discography on Black Friday as you seem to have. I apologize if Lewis butchering the song in this clip is no indication of him remembering the proper order of the anthem on a longer one. I was just going by what I saw in this clip.

[drunkendragon182002]

@dopplesoldners What? who said anything about black friday? your still in shopping mode. Nah, if you meant it as an insult that was pretty lame if not whatever. I was minding my own business to began with you commented on me, but again whatever. No harm no foul

[drc1981]

I think Jordan was the only one who wasn't laughing their butts off at the whole thing.

[Marcell2aG]

Uh oh.

[neetrab]

the player at 0:24 tried so hard no to laugh he had to cover his mouth with his jacket....good idea man, good idea.... lol that was nice of him..lol he didn't want to be mean..

[ally057]

my sides are splitting!!

[seanjohn21276]

I'll make up for it. You didn't Carl. You lied to me dammit. You don't see Whitney Houston trying to run the 100 meter dash, so you shouldn't have tried to sing the national anthem.

[neetrab]

aw man... the players had really tried to not bust out laughing.. LOL.. this was funny.. i feel sorry carl went through this.. and then interrupt the song by saying "uh oh" and "imma make up for it" is just a laugh.. sorry carl.

[michaelvj50]

Why, in the name of GOD was Carl Lewis singing the national anthem? Who thought THAT would be a good idea? Please explain, because I'm confused... You don't see Whitney Houston competing in the Olympics!

[neetrab]

michaelvj50 - LOL!!! my dad was the first to show me this video and i asked the same thing.. he said carl probably requested to sing the song.. they probably said okay without listening to him practice it... so..this is what they get.. instead of a spirited rendition.. it's a nice little comedy treat for the fans right before the tipoff..lol

[Yinnzio]

Jordan is so in the zone that close to tip off that he doesn't even hear Carl Lewis singing.  He's the fiercest competitor in the world.

[kareemabdullah]

he wasnt bad for someone who isnt a singer

[IWannaBeOnOprah]

A Good Song Can Stand Alone! Please!

[bnegs521]

Oh man does anyone have the whole video? Please post.

[mrjustin444]

For the land of the...the land of the FReeeeeeee.. lol. Definitely the wrong note. lol.

[DaMusiq23]

@mrjustin444 LOL! He knew he couldn't hit that high note, so he wasn't even gon' try.......neh eh. He had already done enough damage.

[proof317]

"imma make up for it"! lol no he did not lmao

[634devil]

He never did!

[bsilver887]
