Jordin Sparks - Star spangled banner at superbowl XLII

[BarrelsPolesandJack]

This is one of the best renditions I've ever heard. One of the greatest American Idols, next to Adam Lambert.

[tyrellswn]

damn i got chillz

[JamMaster0011]

Randy Moss fucked her after the game!!!

[Empresskym]

this is when they Threw the game... Damn Pats. I love This Song though. I so wish I was there. Beautiful!

[ItalianMama66]

i am in tears......it's making me think of 9/11

[Symphorch]

As amazing her voice may be, and trust me, I love her voice, the Star Spangled Banner is in the form of a waltz. That means three beats to the bar. She's doing it four beats to the bar, and it throws you off. Quite annoying for someone who is musically adept.

[tomisboy]

we had Olympics at our school and they put this exact song on and i almost bursted in tears

[destineelovesmiguel1]

I never knew that Jordan 's dad was a football player :o

[skeetholydiver]

I bet she takes some nasty craps.

[SuperMatthewcollins]

19 of these peoplemust want to be killed or want to be unfree



[csever01]

For those who criticize her lip-synching, please realize that the techincal difficulties they possibly face in these things require them to pre-record the song and lip to it. They always do it this way at the Super Bowl.

[ruddkenseth17]

@csever01 Then how did Christina Aguilera mess it up this year?

[TheJSarge]

I am proud to be an American. God Bless the United States of America!

[popsingerstar]

@TheJSarge me 2!!!!!!

[LordJesusIlove]

i thank the good Lord for our freedom

[AMTrane]

I thought my voice started to sound smoother when hitting high notes. Until now . I know what smooth really sounds like lol

[LordJesusIlove]

i love my country, this is a great song expressing my patriotism. i am patriot, i thank God for America and our founding on God's values. i will defend and protect America from the enemies within. those liberals and socialist like obama, george soros, kevin jennings,van jones, chris matthews, sen. bob casey, harry reid and others who are against God and our freedoms

[robin1000]

@LordJesusIlove loser

[XxcrazysexyblondexX]

@robin1000 LordJesusllove has the right to say whatever they want without people like you judging them.

[Aryance08]

she lip this one but its still amazing

[CopWife0910]

@ColoradoLady... LoL!! Osama! Haha!

[DORproductions117]

Take that, Osama!

[ColoradoLadyV]

USA!!!USA!!! OBAMA IS DEAD!!

[Aryance08]

@ColoradoLadyV do u mean osama? lol

[ColoradoLadyV]

@Aryance08 hahaha!! wow I was pretty blowed that night got to typing to fast!! Eff Osama

[countrySTAR06]

BIN LADEN IS DEAD!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[exxcalibur1973]

Bah! singers who make the anthem all about themselves need a backhand.

[PatriotsFan01752]

Beautifully done. Thank you Jordin.

[mout12]

This was absolutely lip-sync'd. 1:33 see for yourself

[shado474]

@mout12 I can't see what's wrong at 1:33 but there's definately a lip-sync hint at 2:02...

[mout12]

@shado474 It was a joke because at 1:33 it's being sync'd by that big black dude.

[bouldercrotch]

@shado474 Yeah... 2:02 .. TUT TUT JORDIN *clicks*

[Immike26]

Im crying, wow!

[dgripper05]

nice



[Narumashina]

[PantherCheerDot]

Her & Carrie were the besttt :) Love you guyss! <3 .

[berfush]

she was awesome.

[SacrificeOfLove1]

beautiful.

[bebop6590]

I believe this is the better of the national anthems I have heard.

[OfficialJennifer18]

For all of yall retards who said she is lip synching; She is Not, so get that straight. I would know, cause i've sang on a microphone as well, & the mic drags her voice ! Stop hating on her, Just cause your not as good as she is.

[cheerleader1712]

@OfficialJennifer18 who cares shutup stupid person and i bet when u sang on the mic. everybody started laughing hahahahahah my sister agrees!!

[ddelfao]

1:25, his facial expression is like "I'm gonna kill you"

[stanleyedison]

the best! proud to be from arizona also ")

[jessie11181]

Simple but elegant, and classy, Love it!

[1livingdeadgrl]

beautiful voice, beautiful girl, beautiful dress and make-up. just beautiful!!

[1livingdeadgrl]

beautiful voice, beautiful girl, beautiful dress and make-up. just beatiful!!

[cookiedeeh]

Loooove this girl.. So talented!

[spookyspooked]

I love Jordin's version- she didnt overdo it unlike some others..

Oh and Tom brady is so hot!

[tia507]

shedid awonderfull job!

[NatCullen3]

1:25 he's cute :)

[elsjesweeney]

@NatCullen3 hahahaha yes, yes he is.

[Zondafreak93]

Fuck u assholes she aint lip synching so fuck off n proove it

[stormtrooper86]

fucked up towards the end >_<

[ogkrilla]

she's pretty

[MaiteChux3]

goshh that's beautifull 

[wb12337]

What a terrific job of singing and arranging! Jordin Sparks "owns" it without disrespecdting the song as written.

[miafromavatar]

Good lord that was the best preformance of the national anthem I've ever heard. That one and the Glee one. I don't know. :)

[KENNYLEON30]

shes lip singing 2:02

[tinclunge1234]

@KENNYLEON30 it's lip synching retard!

[Tinkerbell234657]

@KENNYLEON30 how would u know that?



[Danny15LL]

Lots of minor chords haha

[Bacchae30]

That's one big bitch. I hope she didn't choke on her "purity" ring. *Barf*

[TheGreatSloopy]

FUCKING HORRIBLE!

[MrNobody808]

Why can't the people they get to sing the Star Spangled Banner, just sing the song, without adding their own special spin to it. I hate when they do that, because it cuts everyone else out, from singing along.

btw, i am not saying she is a bad singer, i just don't like it when singers do this.

[MacIrish63]

@MrNobody808 i know! i have to study for 15 minutes each night this song and i can't find one normal good video1

[margarette11]

@MrNobody808 Exactly my point. Just like what I commented on Mariah's version, I did not say she's an awful singer but why would you sing the national anthem like that? made it her own? it's not some RnB or pop song! And I don't get why people think it's AMAZING, there is a PROPER way to sing it. Just saying.. Charice's version and Jennifer Hudson's are the "real" good ones out there.

[EdnaSweetlove]

Very funny. Those uniforms are utterly hideous and that fat tart yowling those hideous trash words made me puke up my tasty lunch. I loved the way one of the big buck blacks chewed gum all the way through. And the voice over was hilarious.

[angel3422]

@EdnaSweetlove who are you talking about??

[EdnaSweetlove]

@angel3422 Who am I talking about? The freaks in the ugly uniforms, the fat tart dressed in black singing out of tune, and the black sports player. Who else, dumbo?

[angel3422]

@EdnaSweetlove please elaborate on how they are freaks and you're not even from America are you? A) she's not singing out of tune.you're just an ignorant fool B) what do you have against black football players?

[EdnaSweetlove]

@angel3422 They are badly dressed people in toytown uniforms; the fat tart is shrieking like a dervish; why should I have any interest in thicko black thugs?

[angel3422]

@EdnaSweetlove Hey Edna here's the simple solution: Get off the Internet!!!! there are tons of football fans here and you're obviously here to troll. And how old are you anyways? your writing makes me think you're 16 but the name Edna makes me think you're 76

[kurtcobainluvr39]

This Is The Reason She Won.

[gordiam]

i'm italian and I don't know her, but she has a very nice voice!! I like her sweet notes

[lilpackerfreak]

i love how her voice is soft but so powerful.

[Marvinglz]

Jordin is a great singer! I'll admit she sounds 100X better when she sings this acapella! This was still good but the music drowned her out a little bit.

[LuckyIzzy659]

the guy at the end starts talking when shes not even done! what a jerk!!!

[LuckyIzzy659]

I wonder why men were evolved or made to have deeper voices?

[Jasmine65581]

jordan can make sumthin bored. in2 sumthin beautiful.

she rly encouges me 2 sing.

[Rhio1]

that has to be one of the best versions i've ever seen it- she looks like she really is singing that with pride unlike others who just want to show off with their voices - amazing

[FUKINHAPPY1]

NICE

SHES SO DAM PRETTY

[Ameliadams]

her ending was great..!!

[kkrista77]

I love the way her voice is soft! People feel that if you have a heavy voice your the best singer, but that is not true. I have a soft voice and I am not a bad singer! My voice just isn't heavy!

[xBabygirlAGx]

i cant keep my jaw shut jeese that was a speechless performance and she has a beautiful voiceher dad must be so pround to hear her sing that song!!!! AWESOME job JORDIN!!

[Blossssom]

She was alright... cautious like LeAnn Rimes... tentative... loved her ending, though... that song is so hard to sing though. All the highs and the lows and the middles... Whit, Carrie and Faith truly brought it! :)

[rencomia]

effortless...smotth..

[hctina]

i got something in my eye's *hint hint*

[Maxmizer55]

Perfect performance by Jordin Sparks.... AND BIG BLUE.

NYG ALL DAY WHOOOO!

[lindamasonmusic]

Ultra love it ;)

[mandingoactors]

she looks like a thick version of beyonce...

[MsRose00]

I am not a fan, but she rightfully won American Idol and she did a great job on that song. She made it her own all while keeping it simple. Very well done!

[Pengibuddy]

Goosebumps :)

[valerias1616]

i like how its not overdone like the others

[vlmofficialreviews]

another playback.. mariah also did playback

[apple323454]

she ROCKS!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ppillas]

she nailed it!

[BradCowleess37]

she can sing!

[Indifferent1618]

thats my favorite one =D

[chelseabullocks1]

she sang it perfectly!! just the right amount of respect towards it, not as much warbling as x-tina :P

[zackysynguitargods]

@chelseabullocks1 i love that you posted this 9 months ago and she (x-tina) just recently screwed it up...are you psychic? although, she's probably done it many times before

[mrmrskth]

she going to be a wonderful women

[neoblitzkrieg17]

check out CHARICE'S version..it is also good...

[ThomasHankyPank]

@neoblitzkrieg17 Charice is a talentless gook who has nothing on the likes of Jordin Sparks, Celine Dion, etc.

She needs to go back to the Philippines.

[Eohyr]

@ThomasHankyPank I do not think that it is right to compare artists because everyone is great in their own way... However, I think that Charice is absolutely amazing. I am not saying this as a FACT, I am saying this as my OPINION.

I think everything from her voice to her upbringing and where she is today is nothing short of amazing... and whatever positive comments and and praise she gets is never going to be enough for her. :)

[hiOsiris]

@ThomasHankyPank Are you fucking dumb? holy fuck. shes way better than jordan.

you go back to where ever the fuck you came from

[Bellacullenthelovely]

WOW she did wonderful!!!

[livepure1]

i remember this game, she did an awesome job.. i still think that "The cactus cuties" did an amazing job.. for those of u that would like 2 that video the name of it is "Star spangled banner texas tech"..

[titesara5]

WOW !!! That's AMAZING !!!! I LOVE IT ^^

[lilla0581]

perfect..!!

[1996JONASfan]

i'm from greece but i cried when i heard that ...!!!

[cekzyjo12]

She seems to be lip syncing.. Was she lip syncing?

[twilightgirlyy78]

Amazing She isnt dreading it, she singing lovley! I love it! (:

[moraistelmo]

I HATE when these artists try to make a flashy show out of the national anthem..

just be patriotic and sing the song..

[MrRashaun8821]

@moraistelmo Agreed!!!! Nobody has done it better than Whitney imo

[MyMerlin1]

British drinking song that is now the US national anthem . lol

[robfromdublin]

BEST versions Beyonce/whitney..........Jorda­ns good as well

[supergoossie]

best version is imho one a few years ago at world cup game soccer where the fans sang along

[danmillerscotland]

i love how simple and original she kept it.

[Cut3gyrl4lyfe]

so what team does jordin play for?

[snakeboy809]

wat other team was that? not patriots the dudes with the reds wth?

[NFLdude505]

@snakeboy809,the other team was the Gaints!!!

[snakeboy809]

lol couldn't tell :D cuz i barley saw them

[rimlea22]

ok just curious if you're jealous of her then whatever but how do you lip sing at a stadium? you cant maximize a stadium with a prerecorded song. It wont be loud enough trust me so if she was lip singing which i doubt no one at the very top would be able to hear her.

[TheLittleTav]

best version of this besides..beyonce

[beyrock]

@TheLittleTav Agree with you, Beside the Best Version made by Beyonce, i think Jordin Spark's did come close...

[danmillerscotland]

...and whitney.

[VEFS17]

r u people serious JORDIN SPARKS does not lip sync!! ok shitttttt ...she"s just the best!! okkkkkkk

[yunstarr502]

damn she fine

[FairyDustAndGlitter]

I'm not sure but I think she's lip syncing... At 2:02 you can kinda see that she kept her mouth open like "thereeee" but she had to go to "uuuu" at that second! Don't know, sounds good though!

[Voileen]

poor girl! She was probably so nervous! She did really well though.

[xkube3]

it so obvious that shes lip syncing it.. pfff..

[Kw12345ff]

I like american people and their National Anthem is awesome. However, This sort of "footbaal" should be banned.

[dana7298]

@Kw12345ff  WTF?

[Glimmerdagg]

@Kw12345ff why lol, its the best sport in the world

[jennyluvsgym]

why?

[vmaryz]

beautiful

[pontolononoy]

wow, she sang it very well

[TxTiNgFrEaK22]

she did really good..

[bubzmama]

very pretty....not a bunch of flashy nonsense. notice they say "To HONOR our country, this is......" that, she did.

[BlogShag]

You gotta give your props to Jordin. She's a new star, and not a lazy one. She does this song justice, although it's not my favorite. Whitney did the best. Roseanne Barr was the worst.

[Amyyie]

the football player at 1:46 had his left hand up LoL mann i bet every football player out there is like danngggg! i want her! LoL shes super hott and has amazing voice!! :)

[kungfuweasel78]

you are a dumbass jr looked like that because she fucked up the song nobodys done this song good but whitney houston all the rest just suck

[CoolPhyaMusic]

@kungfuweasel78 and Jennifer Hudson is a close 2nd to Whitney.

[phengpheng2]

Yes that is really good.

[heylo213]

She is amazing and she is honoring the country! :)

[felecia21]

xD AmAzInG...not many people can pull that off live. Especially this song.

[tillieanne76]

"Weak as all women"? she did a great job,and hang your head for that comment!

[jimmysgirltx]

I think every version of the Star Spangled Banner I have listened to on Youtube is no better then the other versions....I love Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Beyonce Knowles, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Jordan Sparks and I think they all sang it with their own personal styles and they all sang it beautifully.

[tillieanne76]

@jimmysgirltx

Thank you for that,i agree,everyone has their favourite version.

My comment was to someone who inferred all women were weak!

Yeah right.!

It is a beautiful anthem,and that helps.

And they all sing it in their own way.

Tillie.x

[TheNumberoneBillsfan]

I knew the Giants would win this Superbowl, lol. Poo on the Pats. Awesome voice on Jordin!!!!

[vnmj9512]

the orchestra is a beast. Especially that eneding. Whew it was amazing

[AmbRiRoxs123]

really realllllly good

[UltimateLuvStories]

i love her version

is soft yet powerful

some other covers are just yelled

[IvanBeSerious]

listening...still listening...im still listening....I cant hear the crowd singing lol

you call yourself patriots? ;)

[cecy12ily]

really good but whitney huston is still the best for this song

[ancbcc]

how bout coverin your hearts people , show some respect for your country, for the opportunity to earn millions of dollars to play a football game 13 times a year...easy street

[Starixy]

damn u got it all

imma huge fan

u did killed it jordin

[yotafro]

Damn that's a good national anthem :')

[Mensheet]

Swedish television? lol:D

[lutui6]

dang thee color guard is hella bomb even jordan sparks

[Rockykratter]

at 2:02 it looks like she's lip syncing.

[sonicfan23]

i agree

[coolerdude44]

i love our national anthem. if at times anybody is feeling under-patriotic, just play this video, you'll get a distinct american tingle down your spine. makes you think of george washington drag racing a corvette down sunset boulevard while eating a big-mac. hahahaha

[Devian016]

omg it made me wanna cry

[CocaBambi]

the best version i've heard so far...

[jrjohnrico]

i like the part at the end amazing

[laurika1691]

me gusta su himno es muy bonito

[parkerbestdad]

I wish England was as close together as you Americans are to one another. We need to learn a lot from you guys. Respect you so much.

[coolerdude44]

you have to be the only british guy on youtube to have ever made that statement lmfao. you're certainly the first i've heard.

the truth is that both of our countries suck at the moment, and at times we can both be a bit too patriotic.

it's a shame what the socialist elite is doing to both our countries simultaneously.

[parkerbestdad]

lol. thanks man.... i mean it though. england is a bullshit country. and have no national holidays to show how much we love our country. id much rather be an american than a brit.

[coolerdude44]

don't say that man, you have to love your country through the good times and the bad.  there are many times i'm ashamed of my country, believe me. but i never stop loving it. sometimes i get pissed off at the ignorance of some people here, but i am quickly reminded that, contrary to the british and european stereotypes, america is not the only country in the world with ignorance.

the bottom line is this, however: if you work hard in america, your success will be rewarded.

[coolerdude44]

that is why i love being here, and will probably live here most of my life. i'm a firm believer in hard work, and i firmly believe that success will come of hard work. that is why it scares me that socialists like gordon brown and barack obama have taken over capitalist countries, and want to try to redistribute the wealth.

nothing wrong with helping the poor, but there is a lot wrong with holding contempt for a successful person, and forcing him to give most of his money away.

[coolerdude44]

sorry to go off on a tangent, but these (in my opinion) are the only real problems with america and the uk. they're both great countries, and i hope i get the opportunity in my lifetime to live in them both.

[dana7298]

ASS

[luckylass456]

are u calling me an ass??? why exactly

[dana7298]

no i was calling "coolerdude44" an ass

[coolerdude44]

why are you calling "coolerdude44" an ass?
