Maya Rudolph- National Anthem

[kyana4687]

@1:00 gets me EVERYTIME

[eROCtele]

help me out...is she making fun of christina agularia or is there an actual Pamella Bell that sang the national anthem like this?

[yaznicole]

@eROCtele this is just a skit. not a parody of christina, this actually came out way before her performance.

[HanzSygnal]

underated babe---no doubt. Soo smokin' in Idiocracy

[freshair345]

come back Maya

[bluntlyill]

after i saw Christina Aguilera last night i had to come watch this lol

[Bonesaw2000]

Christina failed to realize that this was a joke about her and her ilk. She obviously mistook it for an instructional video.

[miklbikl2]

Is that Christina Aguliera?

[imachickenman]

She did it better than Christina Aguilera.

[Ilikethis67]

This is hilarious!!

I don't mind a soulful rendition of the National Anthem it just shouldn't be longer than the actual game.

[mizike06]

"Give a Little Boop"

[TonniCee]

@mrbrandon71 except for that ugly word you used I agree with you. I hate when anybody sings the national anthem at events they all sound crazy to me... dragging out notes and the poor people who are there standing up waiting for the hot mess to end.

[xstanadu]

She's great ! It's Patti , Whitney , Christina , Mariah all in one ! Hysterical ! SNL lost all the good one's ...

[tagcheeta1992]

I thin she probbilly has a fanntatic voice!

[neerrg]

All the new girls from snl suck because good ones like maya and amy left to early to teach their ways

[love4triumph]

I haven't been able to find any humor in SNL in WELL OVER a decade but this has definitely changed some of my negative thoughts and feelings about the show! Maya Rudolph is hilarious!

[JayZer0]

This is how Christina Aguilera sings.

[leearrizola]

@JayZer0 its exactly how she sings!! lol!!!

[NurEineStimme]

Better audio:

watch?v=naO6h2xi-Og&

[limafilho27]

I always thought she was one of the funniest from snl. But this was... I don't even have the words to express how funny this was. still recovering from laughing.

[pinkpanther734]

L-M-A-O!

[d3sst]

1 2 3 strikes you're out hahaha

[Bleon2010]

Ahahahaha this was soooo funny. O couldn't stop laughing. I miss her!

[littlepanchito7]

This is too hilarious. I wonder why she hasn't made any movies lately.

[Onusoj]

well she did Away we go in 2009, and after that she got pregnant, this year she has shrek 4 and Grown Ups playing chris rock's wife

[kyana4687]

@Onusoj and bridesmaids

[jimtherat8]

Soooooo Funnnnnny...Maya Rudolph is awesome.

[KingDean24]

hahahaha

[andrecueca]

i think she is doing patty labelle...lol...she sang just like that at the superbowl

[jagarza777]

1:03!!!!! hahahahahaha!!!

[DimwitFilms]

Duhwut... sopuruhoudly we haiyayayayayill!!... WHO'S BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT RAAAARRRS!... through the buhnight...

[Blip925]

LOL..!!!

[Psycomantis1]

That's Minne Riperton's daughter! If she really wanted to sing she could!!

[othrox14]

I've watched this like a zillion times-and whats really sad is that for lots of the time-she sounds like the popstars actually do.

DWHO'S BROAD STRIPES AND RIGHT RARS!

[AnthonyDaGreat87]

I laugh at this every time lol

[nrafter530]

And the rockets red glare, the bombs are burstin' up in the air!

Hilarious. I hate how some people butcher the national anthem.

[jozamberVideos]

Hilarious

[netterstyl]

This can be found on Hulu in much better quality. Just do a search there for "National Anthem SNL" or something to that effect.

[groovekitty70]

This was HILARIOUS! Finally, someone who calls out all the so-called artists who don't know squat about singing anything but their own "styles" but think it's ok to butcher the National Anthem. I stand up and applaud--this was a long time coming. Also kudos to Ms. Rudolph for her technical execution--she is truly trained and talented to be able to pull off so many color changes while maintaining a fantastic resonance. Grammy darlings can't hold a candle to this woman vocally--& she's in COMEDY.

[chea2003]

this has me in tears everytime i watch it. i LOVE it

[krthriller]

the host wasn't steve martin, it was hugh laurie.

[IndianQueen001]

Is this real? lol. How does she feel about this?

[melmartini]

omg - so hilarious. a PERFECT parody of all the idiot singers who perform it.... awesome!

[toto653]

for those who want to know, the host was Steve Martin. Thanks for the website, I'll keep it...

[toto653]

Who was the host for this snl please? I try to find it but I can't...

[nostalgiajunkie70]

@toto653 , do a search of SNL archives on google search. There are a couple of websites with detailed info on every episode of SNL

[TheMomo65]

thanks for the tip...

[freshair345]

I love you Maya

[MCfan09]

:49 is jusdt priceless

[PHAEDRIDER]

i like her!

[nostalgiajunkie70]

I cant say for sure, but I think she is mocking Patti Labelle. There are quite a few videos showing her singing the National Anthem and she gets the words wrong and does all this crazy singing although not to the extreme that Maya does it but thats what makes it so funny.

[TRASHYgah]

Can you pleasssssssse upload ladies sing: cold open the santas my boyfriend song!!!!!!!1 PLEASE I cant watch it on hulu cause i live in england and it doesnt work outisde the us!

[melelover309]

I found it online!!

[andrewdude1]

and right rawrrrrrrrssss! lol

[melelover309]

Hi! Onusoj,where did you get this video??-- Because this video is the best quality I've seen but I'm trying to find one even better. Please help!

[Onusoj]

well i don't remember exactly because it was a year ago, but it was on a site, an it was recorded from my laptop. and it was the only site that had it, so i recorded it because I knew that it was gonna be hard to find later . I dont think there's a better quality out there on the internet.

[melelover309]

K.thanks for replying! Oh well, I'll try to find it!

[Ihatetomie]

Did you fart while recording this?

[Onusoj]

what??? lol noooooo

that's the feedback from my cellphone,plus its recording from my laptop microphone so every time i moved the laptop that sound would record

[neerrg]

@Onusoj you seem defensive.

[Onusoj]

@neerrg about what exactly?

[neerrg]

@Onusoj about the fart noise haha

[kenfole]

I wonder will she ever try to sing for real, im sure her voice is as great as her mothers

[Chrizbreezyfanpage09]

she reminds me so much of her mom minnie riperton!

[aberberry]

Does anyone have the clip of Maya doing Diana Ross from jail on weekend update?  I just remember laughing for like an hour after watching it. Tinaaaaaaaaaa!

[stupid8911]

That seriously was the funniest,"Ti-na-na!!! I'm in the pokey,Tina!" I've searched low and high for that video,and all I could find was a transcript.."Tina,do you remember when I was in a all-girl group and I had 10 #1 hits and 18 Top Ten Hits?? Well,jail ain't like that,Tina!"

[equinoxranch]

Great spoof on all the endlessly insulting and disrespectful negro "singers" who eternally slaughter the National Anthem.

[xfoxelil1xx]

[KyliesMCJ]

My favorite part will always be "Da-what so parahoudly we haiaiaiaiail."

[jarrell1e]

She is so Minnie Riperton's daughter! She has a good voice, not like her mom, but good.

[Ecksntrick8]

Wonder if she could hit that F sharp..probably not.

This would have been a lot funnier, if you put the right name up. This is supposed to be Patti LaBelle, then it really makes it funny, because who the f*&^ is pamela Bell?

[Pimadude]

Pamella Bell is the name of the character maya is playing lol

[Tap16]

haha...how embarrassing.  Know the facts before you go making snarky comments.

: )

[Onusoj]

Haha thanks for defending me, and clearing that to this know it all lol

[KikiTRS]

[freedomfighter13103]

wow y r u people so worked up over this vid. just enjoy it its not meant to offend the USA, its meant to make fun of black people when they sing (and thats the truth) so just laugh about it or if u cant post anything nice about it, dont post anything at all..................

[SaxxonThespian]

oh and SNL is not making fun of the national anthem but all those "American Idol" singers who go to baseball games and sing the anthem with the way they show off their voices..

[SaxxonThespian]

Her mother was the famous singer from the 1970's Minnie Riperton who had that big hit records "Loving You". Sadly her mom died at the age of 31. I guess Mya has her mother's talent.

[LillyAnnevmk]

LOL hilarious! I've always loved SNL

[gargantacortador]

wow i love when people act like posting on youtube about the horrors of the liberal media like its ging to make a difference. . . . . . . . . . D'wat and tha Banaiiiiiiiii

[allforthemusic2010]

july6771:

stop being a little whiny fucking pussy ass bitch, AND GROW THE HELL UP

If you honestly have nothing else better to do than to go on youtube videos all day and bitch, then you need to get a life!

This is simply a freedom of expression, and considering that United States of America is a nation that is famed for its freedoms and privileges, i would suggest that you find something better to debate about, seeing as how you're only making yourself look like a close minded dickwad.

[UrbanUnderground]

AMEN! to July, It's a PARODY, not to be taken seriously at ALL. you probably liked Rosanna Barr's rendition...

Do you really think that anyone here really CARES what you think? LOL

[Carina08x]

to the b to the r to the a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[CocoaAnyone]

hahahahhahahaha xD

[BeyonceSoloStar]

LMAO.....SANG MAYA !!!!!!!! LoL....

[Ullbritt]

funny performance, however WORST RIP EVER.

[kaykay7188]

lmao july6771. you sound like one of those terribly uneducated, close-minded, one way, liberal-hating, radical right-winged Republicans that are actually part of this countries downfall, THANK YOU. Go take some Oxy, listen to Rush Limbaugh because I'm sure you do (he's every radical republicans hero), and stop wasting our time here. Take your outlandish shit elsewhere. On a good note, Maya Rudolph does a great job mocking those who really do.. overdo the national anthem lmao. shes hilarious.

[july6771]

Rush is not a Republican, we are Conservatives, just like the Founding Fathers. I am sorry you have something against highly educated folk who have traveled to more than 18 socialist countries and seen the extreme divide between the very rich and the poor. You will see no middle class here in a few years. Thats what Conservatives provide.

[bokabeed]

True, there will be less poverty, but nit thanks to any fucking conservative asshole. Thanks to the democrats.

And for the love of God, shut the fuck up about politics you fun killing bitch, damn

[greendayguy220]

juky, com on seriously its not mocking the anthem, its mocking a singer just learn 2 take a joke

[july6771]

Real Americans and Patriots hate this because it disrespectful to all the fallen soldiers. A real American would refuse to mock the National Anthem. Mock anything else, but not the song of our heritage. This just proves that the USA is moving more to the left. From a Republic to a Democracy to a Socialist State. The very same moves that Germany took.

[rideshorse05]

she is not making fun of the song. She is making fun of the people who take the song and MURDER it, using it to show off their vocal range rather than support their country.

[tiauabi]

Leo says: First: As everybody has said, is not mocking the anthem but Patti Labelle, second: The national anthem is not just for "fallen soldiers", but the whole nation, last: the first that need to stop mocking the anthem are all of the singers who appear on TV adding extra notes and showing off.

[rideshorse05]

Exactly... I was agreeing with you.

[engrish2006]

I so agree with you. There are singers who ruin a very patriotic song with a really bad vocal range.

[july6771]

You are right and I know that, I just wish it was a different song.

[rideshorse05]

A good example of this is when Aretha Franklin sang my country tis of thee at the inaugaration.(sp?) She sang "let freedom ring" at least 10 times.

Thank you for not being rude! :)

[allforthemusic2010]

lol ROTFLMAO!!!! XD
