2011 WVU vs LSU: Landau Eugene Murphy Jr sings the National Anthem

[hrtyanskil]

I was at this game. Probably the greatest moment as an American and WVU fan in my life.

[inFAMOUSmattR39]

Landau is the fucking man!!!

[Knight6D]

I love Landau, I can't believe I picked him from his first audition on AGT and he won it all (: I want his CD.

[crazyboy41100]

4 people need a brain check. this is how somebody should sing this song.

[pgholl1234]

My favorite part is that you can hear the 60,000 people singing along with him. This is our national anthem, it shouldn't be sung as a solo.

[partydude1230]

I really like this man. His singing style is incredible. I loved how he sang this song. Amazing.

[TIGRES56]

Laundau singing the National Anthem wearing West Virginia clothing took West Virginia's mind off of the loss they had against LSU that night

[lilbro2000]

it's amaaazing how he can make all those people just wanna sing with him must have the greatest voice of all living things

[DemonOinker]

The video title should be "Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. And 60,000 of his Closest Friends Sing the National Anthem".

[Ladygem05]

Its Really Nice To Hear The National Anthem Sung Without All Those Riffs?!

Great Job Landau-- Proud of Ya. You Go Boy!!

You Put Logan WV on da MAP!

[mikeytoospikeyishot]

he will be a legend someday

[alexuong23]

at least he didnt mess up like christina aguilera lol

[kittysusca]

This pretty much sums it up.America wants to sing WITH this guy.I think hes great,I cant wait for his albums to him,Im gonna buy em all.

[WashfromCali]

That has got to be the greatest high, singing like that in front of a very huge appreciative audience! We love Landau!!!

[cpcs4]

wowww speechless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[crystalclare1000]

i'm not even american and that gave me goosebumps. Gotta love Landau.

[circlet58]

Wowwwwwwwwww is all that I can say about this performance and the crowd singing and response to the part of our National Anthem "THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE" should give every American goose bumps, never seen nothing like this before, GOD BLESS THOSE MOUNTAINEERS !!!...Wonder why the news media and ESPN didn't report it ???? Go Figure !!!!

[labsrus1]

WTG Landau! We all love that voice and kindness!

[dbcorley1978]

West Virginia -- you guys are GREAT!!

[JenFreFra]

Proud...good job

[benellinova7]

Landau...West Virgina and beyond...I'm so very proud of you!! Watched you from the beginning of AGT!!

[potatoman1029]

hes on AGT



[denellesol]

my babyyyyyyyy i love landau so much

[flyyspit]

Bravo Mr. Murphy

[jdixon56]

Amazing job, and the crowd loved him!

[May16Joe]

Landau is so humble, he doesnt even dress as a star. God bless him.

[smarch51]

I'm smiling! Landau Eugene Murphy Jr just sang The Star Spangled Banner the way it was intended! He performed it proudly, as written, with his head high & a big smile on his face! And you could hear the crowd in the background singing along with him...what a great moment!

[ScottyB8u]

I was there for this. My video is from 13 rows in the upper deck, so this one is much better. I am also a native West bygawd Virginian, so glad to see one of our own doing so well.  We're awful proud of him!

[darylfan]

@ScottyB8u I bet you are proud of Landau as you very well should be!! Even though I have only seen him on TV, I feel the same way! I can't help but think that the future holds wonderful things for him! :-)

[optimusN64]

i went to this game i had a blast it was awesome

[laurelrobinette]

@optimusN64 me too! it was crazy in the student section, I must have gotten whacked with a towel 50 times haha

[optimusN64]

@laurelrobinette lol it was god knows how awesome that time i'd liked to go to school here one day

[amccann1000]

WOW!

[TheWestTV]

MogWV ... how did you get on the field with a camera?

[BootCampFX]

AWESOME!

[TheRustyB3]

Yes, the whole stadium full of patriotic WVU fans was signing along, proudly.

Personally, I was doing my best Sinatra rendition.

[darylfan]

@TheRustyB3 Nothing like singing the National Anthem "My Way!!" Thanks for the laugh!! :-)

[TheRustyB3]

Yes, the whole stadium full of patriotic WVU fans were signing along, proudly.

Personally, I was doing my best Sinatra rendition.

[bethanylippencott]

Truley Awesome wish I could of gone to the game to see him, thank you Landau for singing. I was very moved by this, I have a son serving for this country and very proud American and Mom. God bless you and your family I see great things for you.

[shirleybw]

Is the crowd singing with him?

[celticchrys]

Thanks for posting this

[93ksch]

Who's he calling?

[AKentuckyWonder]

Incredible! And thanks, Landau, for singing it the way it was written! You have an amazing talent and your pure joy in sharing it shines brightly in your smile.

[darylfan]

@AKentuckyWonder I agree with you!! Too many singers perform the National Anthem as if it was all about them. Landau sang it so the crowd could sing along and be a part of the event. I wish more singers would show respect for both the song and crowd by performing the National Anthem the way that Landau did!!

[SHUTUPNEWB1]

hmm. over rated

[teajay1]

Congratulations Landau, I watched you on AGT, and you're great - keep the faith,

good luck to you and your family, I am from Canada and watched all your performances that I can get on You tube, just waiting for you now to produce an album,

congratulations again on your win !! was fantastic !!!!!

[thecolaratlady]

SUPERBOWL! SUPERBOWL! LISTEN UP NFL!

[TheOdoyle72]

and i was there

[ScottyB8u]

If you all think his voice is amazing on tv and youtube, you should see him in person. Sharon isn't the only person who Landau's voice has given goosebumps. Amazing. Simply amazing.

[darylfan]

@ScottyB8u  Hi..were you at the game? Are you from Logan? Where did you see Landau perform and what did he sing? I am really envious so...details please!! :-)

[JackieFan123]

Not bad but not as good as platinum international recording artist Jackie evancho, but nicely done good job!

[vicburk]

Landau gets all five stars. He's the greatest!

[purplepassion1974]

Way to go Landau ( Dooney) I wish I could've beenn there to see you perform .. Maybe someday... you are fantastic!! Live your dream don't ever stop believing in yourself... God Bless

[grammarhodes]

Glad I finally got to see you sing at the game. It was great.

[meggieinwv]

We love you, Landau..

[swimbabe567]

i love this!!!! i am SOOOO happy you posted this, also! thankyou! he fibra WV a good name!!! LOVE

[zbobick]

Thank you also for posting this; disappointed his performance was not broadcast

[TheErusarf]

@zbobick He was on WCHS ABC TV in Charleston, W VA performing the National Anthem. He was as usual "GREAT"

[fogette]

A straightforward, well sung rendition. Thank you for keeping me as a fan!

[BobTheWhistler]

Now THIS is the way to sing the National Anthem. GO Landau!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpohuraFan]

marvellous!



[kandi4561]

I love Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. and look forward to his successful career.

[OmaTeresaAnsell]

I love Landau!!

[thecolaratlady]

SUPERBOWL ! SUPERBOWL !

[MissDucttapegal]

WOO HOO! GO LANDAU! WV LOVES U!!!!!!!

[autumnsummerdawn]

Absolutely beautiful. I'm proud to be a WV Mountaineer.

[bonjovinc]

Thank you, Landau, for singing the anthem like it should be sung. Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!

[wvfatboycdn]

The best I have heard in many many years Feel the PRIDE !!!!

[luckygrandma1]

Thanks so much for posting this. Landeau has a wonderful future, and this fan in California wishes him the absolute best. It's been a long time since someone so deserving has won one of these contests. With his abounding talent, Landeau is sure to go a long way. I hope he uses his Million Dollars wisely. Looking for his first CD to come out!

[robtjonz]

Absolutely magnificent!!

[jantheempress]

Coolness!

[indyscape]

I tell you--I get chills every single time I hear him sing!

[Lolly82683]

He did a great job :D

[swsteph7]

Oh my goodness homeboy, you did us PROUD!!!!!

[jmmbsmom]

Landau I got to it see on youtube... Tuned into the game to watch you sing it live but they never showed it :) ugh ESPN! Great job Landau...

[uselessjoe]

Would he win American Idol? and they would kick him off Survivor...

[Boblikescheese014]

@uselessjoe

Nope because theres an age limit restriction of 30 on idol. And despite being a major landau fan that voted for him on talent over 500 times, I doubt he could win Idol, but his talent is fantastic enough to get him far enough.

[uselessjoe]

@Boblikescheese014 agree

[MsThebeMoon]

@Boblikescheese014 : Why do you doubt he could not win Idol? He can sing anything and he has perfect pitch and exciting stage presence. I think he could win AI hands down. He's one of the best vocalist I've heard across the reality TV board. I think Simon alone would drool over him thinking of the money SONY would make on signing Landau. To me, he's one of the best finds made.

[fenderbender256]

@MsThebeMoon He couldn't win idol because he's above the age limit to audition, but i think he could've won any talent or singing contest he entered.

[Boblikescheese014]

@MsThebeMoon

I love Landau and support him fully, and I do believe he could be a finalist on even a full vocal competition like X Factor or Idol, but considering the talent bar set in talent, and how high the bar is in specified talent shows (IE Dance or Idol), even someone as incredible as he is would have trouble winning.

[Predarat]

Well done, awesome job!

[Andie8259]

YAY!!!



[LILDARBYGIRL]

Columbus loves West Virginia and loves Landau! I taped the game just to hear him sing, (Bah humbug ESPN!) TG for YouTube!

[shopgirl71]

Great job!

[lindsaymichelle92]

He is marvelous and has such a wonderful spirit! Can tell he is blessed and thankful to God for his talent. Just wish the PA system had been a little better so it wouldn't have had the echo!

[slgracie89]

@lindsaymichelle92 The PA system isn't to blame.. Everything echoes in that stadium. It's just the way it's set up.

He did a brilliant job though. I got chills while we were singing along with him.

[Carri1953]

Great Job! You are great and make WV proud of you!!

[pama0721]

Fabulous Landau! You are the greatest! West Virginia is so proud of you.

[AManCanFly]

You're adorable....love your attitude and happiness.

[gretagailmay]

Great job, Landau!!!

[jolly950]

PLEASE sing at the Superbowl. That's how the National Anthem is supposed to sound. Beautiful!

[a99miata]

most excellent

[wernerbrandy]

Wonderful job, very dissapointed it wasnt broadcasted but hey thank god for YouTube!!! Landau is very wonderful

[jjnutts]

Good Job Landau, You were great? Godbless.

[pharless2003]

AWESOME!!! This is just soooo GREAT!! Landau and the Mountaineers fans on a Saturday night!!! PRICELESS!!! Proud moment!!!

[5deb6]

ESPN GOOFED! a WV MILLIONAIRE! Would of gave them a good rating. OH WELL WE people know how to get things done! Go Landau! Your still mking WV Proud! Did you hear the crowd sing with him!

[imneva]

gives me goose bumps!!!!

[kywoman70]

Great job Landau!!!! You are a class act and you make WV proud!!!!

[DeniseMM1958]

I'm not a big football fan, but I turned on the game just to see Landau sing the national anthem. I was really bummed when I didn't see it. (The game was broadcast on ABC.) So glad someone got a great video and got it on YT. Great job, Landau!

[MsGhurd]

I have been looking for SOME sign of Landau since he won AGT! Thanks for posting this (and good job on the video)! For sure disappointing but not surprising it was not broadcast...was the game on NBC? If it wasn't, there's your answer. I love this guy! He is, as Sharon said, a "class act".

[CantEscapeMe]

@MsGhurd It was on ABC.

[elvis4all]

Yeah, I don't watch college football but tuned in just to see him and caught 12 minutes of Nissan commercials instead... Good on ya, Landau!

[ginnispal]

I was hoping someone would upload this to YouTube--still can't believe it wasn't shown on TV. Thanks!

[Zayrina]

Love ya Eugene, you did it wonderfully and with respect. Bless you.

[krissygl]

thanks for sharing

[thecolaratlady]

God bless You sweetheart! Amazing!

[darylfan]

Fantastic video MogWV!! Super close view and great camerawork!! It was disappointing (but not surprising) that ABC and ESPN did not broadcast this. Thank you sharing this wonderful moment with all of Landau's fans!!

[romanticspirit]

GREAT!
