  • This is my all-time favorite female vocalist right here! I'll never forget the first time I heard 꿈에 back in 2002--- I was blown away!

  • Sing party rock anthem o.O

  • U people have to shut up and watch how beautifullly she sings cuz I dont think u can sing better.짜징나개. 참나 하야면 다냐 머리가있어야지. 놀고있내. U people should really go back to ur history class and actually learn something.

  • Asian pride, look at her and now look at Jeremy Lin :D

  • Love her....She was born in Los Angeles and lived here for 80-90% of her life. She grew up singing in her father's church. How could anyone possibly have a problem w/ her singing the national anthem.

  • amazing

  • Korean Pride

  • so wonderful!

  • she should be up there singing the fucking korean empire anthem.

  • America is a country of freedom?

    America is a country made up with IMMIGRANTS

  • its an anthem not a soul or rnb,,, cut the shit,,,

  • @madcrazy6659 A bit too much. I agree with you.

  • She also performed 2002 Korea-Japan World cup opening

  • She attended the school of general studies? that is basically the community college of columbia university. don't need SATs, GREs or anything like that. woot woot.

  • @tewkewl she actually majored in English Literature in Columbia Graduate School and She's a UCLA undergraduate. So, don't act like you kno something and underestimate her. I mean like, Can YOU get in there?

  • Good ^^

  • Hmph ... at least SHE can remember the national anthem... ;D lol!!!!

  • she has some skill but her singing can be honed to be better.... I kinda expected more from her xD some parts are kind of awkward.. she is still a rly good singer, though!

  • whoever thinks she's shit needs to check their ears

  • she cant sing.

  • @maganda091 your retarded and deaf

  • by blood she is korean guys

  • She got a couple words wrong.

  • why are so many hats still on

  • everyone that has sung the national anthem has their own way of singing it. shes sung it her way...stop tripping. 

  • people... her race is korean not her nationality.

    her nationality is american.. sandra lee also is classified as korean by race you dont count her as korean but they both was raised in a english speaking country.

  • Let me talk one thing. Do you americans like to be called Russian or brazilian or mexican even though you were born in american and you are originally american ?! i hate to be called as a japanse or chinese and you also do. you fucking morons always ask or talk to asians in japanese or chinese languages and some of asian people are really sensitive because of the experience being colonized by Japan. shut the hell up or think before asking and don't think that poor people have poor thoughts

  • I love lenna

  • i love Lena park's voice!!! she sings amazingly well in both english & korean!!! true talent!!!

  • Great voice. Great girl. We should have more of her on TV and Radio.

  • Lol

    If you don't consider her an American, None of the Black White Yellow (alphabetical order) people should consider themselves as Americans.

    Using your ideology, the true Americans are the Indians ;)

    And you should can yourself by the name of which state you were born in. If you were born from from California, raised in NY and works in Alaska, you're nothing!

    You aren't Californian, New yorker or Alaskan.

    If you truly believe that you're American, I'm pretty sure you say that Lena is too.

  • @hyungsup2 hey! true Americans aren't indians! there native americans :3 people just refered to them an "indians" because Columbous though he landed in India when he discovered the Americas :P

  • @Skykilla21 I know... hence ;)

    I don't like the term Native Americans because if you are truly native then you don't need an adjective...

    You don't normally say native english or native french people. you just say english or french people.

  • @hyungsup2 mmm... ok then 

  • What's wrong with Korean-Amreican singing both countries' national anthem... Btw if you diss her about making the anthem into R&B well guess what SHE IS A R&B SINGER

  • I can't believe what I'm reading. I came to this page to see a real artist sing, not get in a mindless debate about worthless sh** that's irrelevant to how incredibly intelligent and talented this woman his. Shame on you people! Anyways, Lena Park is amazing!

  • Lena Park is gorgeous. She's so talented :D

    I'm so jealous. ):

  • she's so pretty!!! and what a beautiful voice!

    YAY COLUMBIA!! :D

  • Honestly, if you don't enjoy the video, why would you watch it in the first place? Do you have nothing better to do with your time than to make ignorant and disgusting racist comments? Rather than putting all your energy into coming up with the most vulgar comment you possibly can, try expending that energy on something useful - school perhaps? Seeing as you refer to her as a "chink" - which applies to Chinese person..she's Korean; not all Asians are Chinese...go get an education + 다들놀고있넹 ㅡㅡ;;

  • @TheRachmaninoffFan AMEN TO THAT

  • Comment removed

  • Perfect!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • She's VERY FAMOUS IN KOREA! One of the best singers there!

  • She is so amazing. My role model forever <3

  • Press 5 repeatedly .

  • i've never had the urge to listen to the national anthem so many times in a row.... this is my 6th time listening to it lol.... it just sounds so beautiful when sung in this way.. i can feel the song lol..

  • WOW I got goosebumps!! she is soooo amazing!!!!!!

  • WOW - Just "WOW"

  • amazing!

    

  • well...whatever people say...I heard she was the first Asian who sang the US national anthem in columbia univ. convocation. Proud of her!

  • ネイティブより砕き過ぎw

  • 2:06

    This girl on the right side is freaking serious as hell

  • she is a good singer, but i think she tried too hard here...

  • Gosh, if i had known she was singing, i would have so gone to graduation T-T Aahhhh..

  • LOL YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY. FACT IS SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THIS ARGUMENTS HERE LOL

  • To the racist idiots, did you attend Columbia or even thought of attending there? did you graduate magna cum laude? were you in the top 5% of the graduates? do you know English better than her? are you a member of the Pi Beta Kappa? did you get all A's your whole life? did you get accepted to all colleges you registered to?

    She was born in USA and lived here for 80-90% of her life. She didn't even speak Korean fluently until recently.

  • Proud Korean American. very well done!!

  • keep pressing 6... ROFL

  • Keep pressing 8

  • @iTzMyFancySauce She IS American...

  • @iTzMyFancySauce Uh. Go google it up she IS american

  • @iTzMyFancySauce

    she is born american u idot

  • @iTzMyFancySauce

    she is born american

  • @iTzMyFancySauce dumbass

  • @iTzMyFancySauce You mean, have an american forget the lyrics or have a good singer sing it properly. Get rid of that discrimination mindset.

  • @iTzMyFancySauce so whos an american to you? are you native american? no.

    so who has the right to sing the national athem? so you expected a white person?

    if an exchange student who was white sang this song and you didn't know she was an exchange student cause she spoke english without an accent, would it be okay then?

    go back to the racist cabinet you came from you sorry excuse for a human being.

  • @iTzMyFancySauce proud of yourself?

  • @iTzMyFancySauce Oh wow. SHE IS KOREAN AMERICAN. SHE LIVED IN AMERICA FOR MOST OF HER LIFE. THE LEAST THAT YOU COULD HAVE DID IS RESEARCH HER ON THE INTERNET INSTEAD OF JUST POSTING THIS BASED ON YOUR IDEAS OF HER.

  • @iTzMyFancySauce define american

  • @iTzMyFancySauce She is American. Born and raised in the USA. Guess that's why white Americans are consider so ignorant. They don't even know there own laws.

  • @iTzMyFancySauce soo tell me why she isnt american and why u are american

  • Awesome..... Proud

  • Does she knows korean anthem?

  • @znkuma Hey, man check this one out.박정현 애국가 [2011.07.23 한국 프로야구 올스타전]

    she is proud to be a Korean.

  • OMG I love it so much!!!! She is unbelievably amazing!!!!!!

  • KOREAN PRIDE

  • Funny how the fcked up fckers that disliked this video are probably idiots that has been taking up the free air in America for no reason. Just be grateful that this wonderful Korean singer actually took the time to sing our American National Anthem beautifully, she's probably more patriotic to this country that you fckers would ever be..... Fck off and watch more of your fcken rock idiot songs or listen to some stupid country songs....muthafckers!!

  • Love Lena Park, but some of those jazzed up bits here made me cringe. I especially loved her "You Raise Me Up" cover from Romeo x Juliet though.

  • wow wow wow oh my god!!!

  • Golden fishery sent me here!!!

  • It's just amazing how she graduated from Columbia while taking breaks to continue her music career in Korea and still be able to be in Phi Beta Kappa. She's always wanted to go back to school and was able to achieve that dream when she was 34 years old. I'm sure it was a great honor for her to sing at her graduation and she probably wanted to make this song her own :)

  • @bijoux522

    She was 34!? She looks so young!!

  • @light80050 Yes! If I did the calculation correct lol. She looks younger than she really is!

  • REPPIN KOREA!

  • She has a lovely voice. I'm sure any criticism has nothing to do with her Nationality....but with the "vocal acrobatics" , which so many seem to feel is a necessary augmentation of a difficult ( to sing) National Anthem. Please don't bring race or Ethnicity into it.....that's not it at all.. Personally the "warbling" distracts me as well.....no matter how pure the voice. Save that for Jazz and R&B vocals.

  • @asksophie now say that to christina aguilara. <--- did I spell that right? cuz her projection of her voice is, in my opinion very similar to R&B and Jazz vocalists. she even got the lyrics wrong. And there should be a specific way to sing the anthem. It should just depend on how much the person has pride in America :D

  • omg.. omg.. omg... real awesome!!!

  • didn't she sing for spy myong wol or summthing

  • @LandLoop yes she did

  • daaaayuuuummmm

  • For everyone who posted anti-comments, I'm surprised to see you boasting about "national pride" and "disgrace". She IS American (born in US), so you should be proud to hear your own anthem. Even if you classify her as Korean, she's still singing YOUR national anthem... wouldn't that be a sign of respect towards America?

    I don't really see where your sense of pride comes from...

  • @theonlyjsp they just wanted someone white. it's not so much of a national pride thing as a racist thing.. imho

  • @GN001FTW person like you would support war in Iraq and Repiblicans with all your energy and screamed out USA when you heard Bin Laden got killed, but WOULD NEVER HAVE BALLS TO ACTUALLY BE A PATRIOT AND DO SOMETHING FOR THE COUNTRY.

    talk about being a true american. what the hell do you do anyway?

  • @GN001FTW fuckin ignorant bastard

  • @GN001FTW You're pretty stupid. She was born and lived in the USA until her early twenties then she went to Korea to become a singer. During those time in Korea she came back and forth to get her education. Does that mean that anyone under the age of 20 that lives in the USA isn't a "real American"?

  • @GN001FTW You're fucking retarded, period.

  • Hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttt!

  • why do people always argue on the comment section??? LOL cracks me up everytime

  • @crazej213 it makes me laugh too :D

    I guess people have nothing better to do than arguing here. lol

  • why do people always argue one the comment section??? cracks me up everytime

  • one word- three letters: wow!

  • i think lena park has an unbelievable gifted voice, but for some reason, i didn't like the way she sang the anthem. regardless, her great talent is a fact.

    i think im more amazed that she was able to graduate magna cum laude, even though she probably had her own schedule in korea

  • omgsh, what's with all these pussy's fighting about her voice, if you think she's bad, let's see you get to her level of recognition first then open your mouth to talk shit about her cuz we all know her musical knowledge and experience if def better than yours

  • Press and hold on to 8 to watch her masterbate

  • Comment removed

  • She is very sensitive person, and shaky at that time. But her song is always beautiful, although I cannot understand the lyrics (I am Korean)

  • Wow ...what a VOICE! ^^

  • I'm so proud of Lena Park!!! I am a Korean too ^^

  • awkward......

  • I love lena!!!

  • that.was.AMAZING.

  • She's gorgeous!

  • o.o increible voice

  • Goooooood

  • Also, those are some ugly grad gowns...

  • Lena Park didn't overdo it. Everyone sings the national anthem that way. Plus, she's an R&B singer with a background in gospel music, so I don't expect her to sing it just straight out.

  • We all know that she's a good singer,

    but she is one of those singers that loses control at times...

    and she did it here again..

    How it's more about her and not so much about the song anymore...............

  • I'm a fan of Lena's, but I think she overdid it a bit.

  • And it might not be her best performance but so what it happens to everyone at sometime^^ Listen to her other mv's you'll know what I'm talking about. Peace!

  • Thoses who didnt like her song can go  listen to the superbowl national anthem of this year and compare. Check it out lol ---> superbowl national anthem 2011

  • Kawaii XD

  • don't care what u say..love it!

  • too much! just sing the song the way it's supposed to be sung

  • she probably should not be shaking her pitch to be cute, if she can't nail the first pitch....to begin with

  • @ckrgksdkrak ur a douchebag pussy. hahahahahahahaha

  • @ckrgksdkrak ur a d ouchebag bi tch. hahahahahahahaha

  • @kilokang well, u gona call him bitch or pussy? make up ur mind.. lulz

  • ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 아이고 얘들아 니들 이나 나나 이분 JUDGE 할 포지션 안된다. 그냥 즐겨라 풉 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 댓글들 보고잇으니까 저낸 웃기넵

  • 무슨 국가 부르는데...... 저렇게 오바하면서 부르지...;; 솔직히...

    노래는 정말 잘 하는데... 저거 내가 보기에는 무슨 graduation 할떄 국가 부르는거 같은데 저렇게 불러가지고는;;

    I luv her voice its really beautiful... but isn't she singing the American anthem?? she should shake her body/head that much.. for performances I bet it will be fine... to express her feeling but this is singing a anthem.... she should shake that much;;; lol

  • @0807khj 야 US national anthem치고는 완전 보수적이였거든. 너도 아이비대 졸업식때 무반주로 야외무대 시설로 노래해봐라. 무식한...

  • @melonbarmonster 제가 박정현씨 팬으로써 한 말이였고요,

    아이비대 졸업식때 얘기는 왜 나오죠? 제가 무슨 긴장해서 노래를 못불렀다고했던가요?

    목소리 진짜 매력있게 잘부르셨는데

    American Anthem 부를떄 대부분 저렇게 기교너으면서 부르지는 않는다고요

    미국 대학교에서 American Anthem 부르는걸 들어보기는 하셨나요??

  • @melonbarmonster 처음보는 사람한테 반말로 하시다니.. 참...

  • @0807khj 영어공부나 하고 오삼

  • @koharu0208 if u think my English is bad then reply it in English. So I can know how good YOUR English is to say I need more study for it. I just wrote it in English for people who doesn't know Korean can understand what I was trying to say.

    plus, why r u talking about how my English is??? when this vid. is about a singer/song?

    mind ur own business.

  • 무반주에 이렇게 까지 할수 있는 사람이 얼마나 될까요? 자랑스런 한국인이 포인트인데, 자꾸 헛다리 짚는 분들이 많은듯. 내가 싫은건 그건 개인의 취향이고, 음악은 싫다는 동사랑은 엉

  • @sunugitar 음악은 싫다라는 뜻의 동사 랑 같이 쓰이는건 잘모는사람들이 하는소리입니다.

  • wtf who cares if she's moving her head/hands a little? you want her to just stand there and sing without emotion like some idol groups? I don't see anyone complaining about Mariah Carey moving her body when she sings.

    괜히 한국사람이 명문대 졸업에 노래까지 잘하니까 샘나나보네ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

  • 교포로써 한국인이 저런 아이비 리그.. 백인주류사회에서 미국 국가를 떳떳히 부를수있나는것이 참 자랑스럽습니다.. 박정현씨.. You make us proud! It is not all about how you are good at singing.. and trust me you sing better than most Mtv stars in US.. but the fact that you can represent not only koreans.. but the Asians in the US... makes me stand up and clap as hard as i can for your awesome performance.

  • I recommend you have to listen her other songs in live, you can't understand Korean lylics though. This video doesn't show her real talent. I wasn't a big fan of Park, but I suppose she is great singer.

  • Wow... My favorite singer!!!

  • 아놔 ㅋㅋㅋ 교포들아 한글 배워라!

  • Speak English here since the song is American national anthem, or don't even say any bullshit like?? hey DchoiHY! i think koreans have the right for speaking korean since lena park is KOREAN american. and no one cursed about american national anthem. if you are right, non-korean-speaker cant comment in their own lauguage like english on korean national anthem vid?

  • 박정현이 과하다고??? 솔직히 난 이은미 같은 가수보다 훨씬 낫다고 생각함. 이은미씨 물론 실력있는 가수지만 자기 절제를 못하고 과하게 한다고 생각한 적이 많음. 팬들분께 죄송하지만 개인적으로 그렇게 생각함. 쨌든 난 박정현이 과하다고 생각한 적은 없네요.

  • 박정현 너무 사랑스럽다~

  • @grokker99 no, o'er is a different representation of the word 'over'. Good job, stupid.

  • 오우,, 박정현씨 노래 정말 너-무 잘해요..

  • She messed up the last line: O'ver the land of the Free and the home of the brave. She said: O'er the land of the free OR the home of the brave.

    Good job, stupid.

  • @grokker99 big deal ;)

  • @grokker99 hate more biatch. no way in hell you can sing like that.

  • @truflip99 noone can sing like a monchichi having an epileptic seizure. Who does she think she is Aretha Franklin?

  • @grokker99 and im sure your soo fucking perfect! Dont be hating cause u cant sing buddy!

  • @grokker99 shut up.

  • 한국의 자랑!!!!일본에서도 더많은 활동 바
