[tommygunn162]

This is just great and very beautifully sung. Makes me proud to be an American. There is hope with our youth. And YES, I would of said the same thing if the fine and very talented young girls were black or any color in between.

[toby7cat]

This gave me goosebumps. What a truly beautiful job.

[bestfriends4life1000]

[ChitownStever1]

It's nice to finally hear our anthem sung with grace and dignity instead of some hip hoppper tearing it up.Nice job!!!

[thethrill1990]

The original post of this video has garnered over 6 million views. You can see that, along with many other performances, including the latest from the Jerry Lewis Telethon 2009 at Bullhead003, and the latest solo performances from these amazing girls.

[Bobesocks]

I waited for forty minutes for this to down-load...

Why?

Because I'm on a nasty dusty Combat Outpost in Iraq.....and our web-servers are as slow as ice-cold molasses....

The wait was worth every second...

Thanks.....

[jem3375]

Thank you, Bobesocks, for your service to the USA. Hope you get to come home soon.

[rutilia]

Absolutely stunning voices. The harmonies are beautiful. Made me feel tingly all over. MAGIC!!

[NEMstrodamus]

This is an example of how the anthem should be performed, compared to the manner in which it is desecrated by so many of today's talentless pop singers.

[XoLuv2SingOx]

[Sailorgirl1312]

We listened to this about 15 times in Social Studies. We were learning about the history of the National Anthem and so our teacher played this for us...we couldn't get enough of this. Way better than my chorus class tho.

[jherd1]

holy hell my choir teacher made us listen to this, it put all of us to shame! these girls are bad ass! >:'(sppb

[Sharke2121]

Please, this place draws a lot of real young folks. Vulgarity tends to show disrespect for the very people you are wanting to praise. Love ya! :- )

[ashanalgama]

Amazing !!! Perfect harmonizing and pitch!!!!

[Glamgir]

These young ladies sing beautifully! I have far too often heard this amazing song butchered! However, these young ladies truly did justice to this song! BRAVO! Bravo!

[LilHamlin83]

[hinterwaltler]

God Bless each and every one of their lil' hearts, and America too! Great job little ones!!!!

[cmcmakin4]

this is incredible. Anyone not proud of their country after listening to this? Didnt think so. And I think these girls stole the show, it definitely wasnt the Tech basketball team....

[AAA679]

aww they're so cute! i just want to hug them!

[cst270]

These amazing girls are the Cactus Cuties from Lubbock, TX. They have 2 official channels here at YT. YouTubeDotCom/user/bullhead003 and YouTubeDotCom/user/CactusCutie­sBackstge

You will be amazed at their singing talents. They sing many great songs other than the National Anthem which btw is the greatest rendition you will find at You Tube. They also have their own website TheCactusCutiesDotCom as well where you can find tons of great info about these amazingly talented girls.

[PHollens3837]

Umm, I sing for a living, and when I was there age, I could barely sing the Melody. Soooo MUCHO PROPS!!

[gchskidd2011]

angels could not have performed this more beautifuly.

[d10sturg]

well...

[RebeccaLovesAnime]

i watch this vid over and over again and i am still amazed!!! :D plus they are so cute!!!

[countrybears35]

Phenominal.

I cried, and something inside me just opened up like a blooming flower after I heard their voices. I'm going to tell everyone I can about these little wonders. Amazing. *****

[jacobissmexi]

absolutely AMAZING!

[xtremeWickedfan]

That is absolutely amazing!! I agree w/ everyone... goosebumps and chills for sure!!

[LindaC781]

[bigredpuppydog]

[willsing4fun]

I am in awe. These young ladies are AMAZING.

Literally, i am in shock.

[Jester580]

Unbelievable. Well done.

[goldenmean]

I cried too! Just amazing.

[ThatsAmorexoxo]

[MsAnnie07]

These girls are phenomenal! They should sing at the Presidential Inaugaration and the Super Bowl! How can we get them there???

[MsAnnie07]

These gals are phenomenal! They should sing at the Inaugaration and the Super Bowl! How can we get them there??????

[Jorbo23]

Possibly the BEST version of our national anthem I have EVER heard. And they're all under 10!!!

[humdinger77]

Wow, definitely had to push back the tears. That was simply amazing. I have never had that song do that to me before. Just wow.

[readtrio]

Somebody better hurry and get em a contract!!!!

[veggiesausages]

amaaazing

[spikku]

I've never heard the anthem performed better. Made me cry actually. :)

[jmvernal]

played it 5 times. Had to put this in my favorites can't let it go.

[jmvernal]

I'm 62 and never heard children singing like this. I too almost cried. They sang so beautiful. I hope that we hear them again. PLEASE

[sharbill77]

I just emailed this to the Executive Director of the Tampa Sports Authority in hopes he hires them to do the National Anthem at the 2009 Super Bowl, I truly hope he does it! - Simply Amazing!

[daoldestsoccerguy]

its so beautiful and amazing

[Lilpudintader]

hi i'm 12 and i think you guys r. so good i happen to be a good singer myself but i bet im not even close to you guys! keep it up you can go anywhere in life when your singing is as sort and smooth as that

[RebeccaLovesAnime]

i almost cried its amazing all of them have amazing voiceses. im very proud and i havent even met them.

[chrisbrownrulz2]

who is the 5th girl???

[americangirlmusician]

I think you ae talking about Tatum? the second from the right? She is no longer with the cuties, she sings with her best friend tori.

[ryanthomastew]

Fantastic job girls! That was truly beautiful. I hope this lands in front of a recording studio exec who will help them record some more music.

[utahliberator]

Fantastic. They're really, really good. But this just serves as further proof that the "Star Spangled Banner" is not readily singable by most people. Let's adopt "America the Beautiful" as our national anthem.

[EmmonsLL3]

You girls are AMAZING!!! I am a singer and I know talant when I hear it and you all are VERY TALENTED!! Keep up the good work...I want to hear more!!

[feldrew]

comparisons are indeed foolish. Whitney was brilliant, and so are these girls. What I admire SO much is the combination of great musicianship (intonation / diction / timing) beautiful harmonies (especially for young children), and how beautifully they capture their own unique spirit and passion in this performance. Makes one proud to be an American regardless of politics and opinions.

[llano52]

Excellent - but the best ever was the Dixie Chicks at the 2003 Super Bowl.

[brinabear1]

they have an AMAZING sound!!!!!

[vanceperry]

Simply amazing! Wow! Goosebumps all over! These young girls need to be signed!

[1776trombones]

Breathtaking!

[gr8jim118]

It's very good, but definitely not the best. That honor belongs to Whitney Houston, period. End of discussion.

[theroofies]

"End of discussion" usually denotes some sort of intelligent closure to debate. You're comparing Whitney Houston to a couple of 5 year olds? ... something tells me you might of missed the point.... and yes, Whitney Houston is amazing as well.

[cartelfan12]

By far the best version of the national anthem I've ever heard (:

[miwebste]

Wow - that was simply amazing. Such professionalism from such young girls. Way to go.

[xxjonboy]

Jolly good girls. Now come over to Britain and do ours.

[fptcheerchick]

adfjkshd

[pmjjcloud]

Without question, the best version of the National Anthem I have ever heard (and I was in the audience when Whitney did it)! They need to be signed to a record label and record this song.

[shippermd]

goosebumps! Incredible singing by these little girls, someone needs to put this on a CD and hire them to do this at ALL games!

[vigibill]

WOW! Now THAT'S the way it should be done! Perfect harmony without all that showy crap. One of the most majesic, heart touching versions I have ever heard. These girls and their director deserve a medal.

[eebvkabc123]

they should be on the nfl sericle u sing girls

[brebre533]

theyre all between 6-8 years old...... absolutely amazing

[The311Junkie]

I think this is the best version I have ever heard.

[yugiohtay]

wow great singing girl's.

[abbyj3]

OMG that was ABSOLUTLEY amazing! WOW im blown away!

[jersey1008]

Wow !!!!!

Wonderful job girls !!! Just beautiful. Thank you !
