[markdeantube]

Her voice sounded shaky. Is that a mic problem? I think her voice was not in good condition

[NationalPro]

[akosikuyzak]

good

[bdaf07]

Patti doesn't need reverb...they should have fixed that. But Patti killed it! Great job.

[DJFrederickHart]

Clinton was smiling because some chick's hand was tugging his McNugget off camera. Patti was plain awful. Francis Scott Key rolled over in his grave.

[thebrycepalmer26]

it must me scary when she is mad! i feel sorry for the person she yells at :O

[AmericaPoop]

SANG IT! YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[TayTayDior]

[redeasy55]

OMG an angels voice she will sing in front of the lord one day

[Sendria]

screaming ass patty lmfaao lovely preformance tho :D

[akatheempress]

Patti sings high and in the whistle register often. She is not screaming; she's singing in different ranges. SMH

[dontavius78]

Bill Clinton looked like he was very proud to be a american right now

[madsketcher]

Patti Labelle: High Priestess of Tearin' Shit Up

[akosikuyzak]

@madsketcher 

[KingCast65]

@madsketcher She BLASTED that shit, totally killed it. I hate America's politicians and everything phony about this Country but her version still puts a chill on my spine and stands hair on end. I'll never forget watching this match, I believe it was 2000 Lindsay v. Venus. Venus won.

[lovejon4lakersvideos]

it’s like she’s crying in the beginning

[tighmir]

Clinton was a straight G!

[MEareCAT]

HOLY SHIT. MY FUCKING EARS ARE BLEEDING. Lmfao screams of agony erupt from the half dead crowd.: L

[jbreezyRulez]

Talk about over singing!

[singers333]

Man she sings the sh*t out of this song!!!! Amazingly powerful!

[AmashaVEVO]

Her ass is screaming...!!

[JacksonObamafan4life]

To hell with Whitney & Aretha. Patti made me 10 time more prouder to be an American with this & any other time she sings the National Anthem.

[OR1ON1STAR]

I'm a La Belle fan for shore, but I couldn't even listen to the beginning let alone the end of the song when you're suppposed to go high! I meand Dam Patti give them people poor ears a break. They should've handed everyone in there ear plugs as they walked in as a safety precaution. LOL Dam Patti you my girl but have mercy on them folks the next time. Givin people ear infections and people leaving tone deaf & some more crap.

[jaytch1]

@OR1ON1STAR I LITERALLY fell out my seat laughing when I read your comment!! lol

[qbbowles]

Patti took  you to church with the national anthem!!!

[MrGerbilking11]

@qbbowles shit in pattis hair!

[ThePianoguy89]

Her voice is so powerful!

[NickJayKay]

omg, this is too much lmfao

[slimm766]

that girl looked pissed. miss patti screamed her way through that like only she could. she was a little off-key, but the power behind her voice is UNMATCHED! FACT.

[whitefangedprince]

Go America

!

[whitefangedprince]

Go America



[SadFac309]

GONE PATTI!!!!!!!!!!\

[jaizon4life]

I love her

[Taeg151]

This was magnificent!!! Love it!!

[justicecarly]

voices like this are GOD GIVEN!!!!! THAT VOICE PROVES HE EXISTS!!!

[READY4REVELATION]

That woman got some vocal cords for your ass. Christina A is good but her voice is not as strong as Patti's was back then nor has it ever been.

[TheMjgirl1]

my ear hurts right now...i had to turn the volume really low. all that screaming was unneccessary ms patti because we all know you have a beautiful voice. why don't you try actually singing the song instead of screaming it next time?

[JacksonObamafan4life]

This just made me love the national anthem 10 times more.

[wellythonvieira]

Lacked sound for both voice!!!

[tasiawood]

1:54 she is singing really hard. go ahead Patti

[strawberriesncandii]

That's right Patti. Kick off them shoes girl. They ain't ready for ya.

[vangoghmatisse1]

WOW AMAZING AND POWERFUL!!!!

[onendonliigiggles]

She really didn't need a Mic!! Omg her voice is a force to be reckoned with..

[Neepinn]

I bet she could be heard without the microphone

[kdrayf01]

@Neepinn She can! Watch the performance of Forever Young live at the Soul Train Awards.

[crunkcymbals09]

Patti LaBelle! Get it!

[itnow]

her way, no doubt...

[Jfingers19]

Loved every second of it!!!!

[smoovsouljah]

patti know she dont need no damn mic. bet that soundman was working that board

[ami7mina]

this was an interesting performance. her vocal prowess is indeed incomparable..

[destinydiamondsteam]

I don't care what Miss Patti sings, she always sounds incredible. What a gift that only God can give. SANG GIRL!!!

[phillyTne]

Done her way and to perfection!

[chezdaniel]

She gets me every time!! Her voice get fiercer as she gracefully ages! Miss Patti Miss Patti! Love!!

[Rhonda900]

Patti! Patti! I love this version of our National Anthem...I had goose pimples from start to finish! What a great talent! 

[xoxSOiNLOV3xox]

kilt it !



[10smirya]

WAAAAAYY TOO LONG! BUT ONE OF THE BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCES!

[READY4REVELATION]

Her vocal capability is out of this planet and the haters know that. Patti is truley a rare talent.

[stardusth2o]

Incredible. I just don't like those squeaks or cracks that she's doing.

[aquamarine11500]

@stardusth2o She can't help it,It's the breaking point in her voice.It does that when she peaks on certain notes.

[Jadervason]

fucking sound engineer! all those echoes

[vstarr89]

Man, you can't say she didn't give it all she had. What a knockout voice.

[LACIELLIA]

wooooooooooooow

[rockercicatrix]

i was shocked when she started,i believe that is the highest pitch of the anthem so far,no one is brave enough to sing the same song with the same pitch

[brdwybnd08]

I LOVE HER!! There might have been too much liberty with the song. And the way that she ended it was a little anti-climactic. But over all, she was FIERCE!!!

[luigihoustonn]

Geezz !!!

[sweetdarkcocoakiss]

Miss Patti LaBelle has a strong beautiful voice...let me emphasise the strong voice because I didn't even realize that there was even a chior singing with her lol.

[chauminh]

Is martina hingis sitting next to former President Bill Clinton?

[britrob24]

I remember hearing this from outside the stadium... and I live in FL.

lol But how many octaves did she transition through with that "the" at the end? I swear I heard about 6 lol... this is why I love her... how can ANYBODY dislike this? Oh, it was probably 100 deaf people who realized they would never be able to experience such audio joy, how sad.

[Imforeverone88]

She looks so beautiful with her hair like that- um yeah don't try to ask any artist today to do this a cappela

[CookyMonzta]

Oh, yeah...I remember this one very well. This was the 2000 U.S. Open Women's Championship final. Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport were scheduled to play in the late-afternoon; but not too long after Patti finished with the national anthem, it started raining. What was supposed to be an afternoon championship match became the Open's first primetime ladies' final (c7:00 P.M.). Venus won the championship 6-4, 7-5.

[d0nk3yb0i]

lol i LOVE MOMMA PATTI!!!! but now i have a SERIOUS headache!!

[AUGUSTALLEN28]

By far the best greatest version of the National Anthem ever sung. I was watching this and I couldn't get a tape to record it in time.I didn't even know she would be there. I'm glad someone did and put it on YouTube.

[sangindrew16]

@frispo..like the smile too. The jet fighters had to compete with Patti's missile notes!! LOL!

[jimdavis081]

Yes indeed. The longest star Spangled Banner I've heard!!!

[itsuniique]

DF IS UP WITH THE ECHO?

Other than that though OMG man her voice is incredible and she hit them high notes like a G ! I loved this !

[frispo73]

Incredible powerful performance! I like the smile at Bill Clinton`s face at 2:17 LOL

[Imforeverone88]

@frispo73 former President Bill Clinton's face at that point always makes me smile something fierce.

[Imforeverone88]

Venus Williams was just like "Go ahead sister!"

[Clowningaround65]

Damn I think MAMA Patti sung to the mountain top literally...LOL!

[Platinum400]

Christina Aguilera might want to watch this video to learn a few things, not just the words.

[TheLeadCreator]

lol people just dont even know what to do whith themselves

she is so goood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! uuug incomprable is an understatement.

[MsDolo08]

speechless. 

[travis7310]

Usually, I don't like when people sing our National Anthem like this, but, this time, I do. Patti sure can hit those high notes like nobody's business! And, she remembered all the words!

[18Revo]

Longest Star Spangled Banner I've ever heard in my life.

[MelroseMen]

Ho... ly... shiiiiiiiiiitt goosebumps

[candygir87528]

Show off those vocals girl!

[rhorantoy24]

I was so emotionally touched, the tears began to fall. She is truly a inspirational artist for ever in enternity.

[MistahLiberty2011]

Bravo !! Now that`s a motivation before a game !!

[khbsm2008]

ouch



[DubStackG]

Incredible...there aint nothin more to say.

[creamiorange]

All I heard was "Yodelay Yodelay yodelayyy heeee-hooo"

Yep, she was basically just yodeling the whole damn song

[phillyTne]

Here's another example of someone with too much time on their hands and no constructive/positive outlets for all that pent up energy....tsk, tsk.

[madsketcher]

@creamiorange lol

[Jamaicanchocolate34]

MY GOD!! I am not an American, but MY GOD!! This woman. This woman!!

[girlie294girlie]

I thought Jennifer Hudson was the best supervowl performance but I was wrong! this 1 is the killer!!

[mojako606]

Holy Cow!

[acctconnect]

Cruising around listing to the Anthem tonight. Love Patti, sings from her soul, gives me chills every time I hear her sing. This rendition has similarities to the famous Hendrix version! I just listened to his a minute ago.

[labellefan]

She never even broke a sweat...

[philyphil93]

this was a powerfully sung redition but could she have cracked anymore lolz

[MistahLiberty2011]

@philyphil93 you should sing so good instead of sitting on your ass and busting on those WHO DO from your pisher PC.

[lee9245]

Patti is awsome i love her :D

[Imforeverone88]

Let's not forget, of course, that she did this A CAPPELA

[1light]

who starts that high? Patti LaBelle does baby

[philyphil93]

i dont understand how she can hit high notes so easily and then crack on every other ending note

[MistahLiberty2011]

@philyphil93 Because you know nothing about singing. Why don`t you find something to do?????????

[mizzphatty2u]

i love her howls wooooo

[lokijordan]

I think she's the contemporary Ethel Merman. I mean that in a good way: astonishing and far too outs-sized to be a mere mortal. She is the embodiment of the way others see the American model and potential: a little gaudy; waaaaay too much; but , in the end, a lot of fun; cool, fairly breath-taking and gutsy; yet profoundly human and fleshy, despite all our flash!

[MrMbell2]

@lokijordan I agree with you. Patti Labelle is the black Ethel Merman. God gave her a voice that shakes the mountains. Yeah some people might wine and say "She sings too loud" so what. She's flashy, bold, a little hood, ballsy, and fearless. She's a fine looking woman and she gives the young bitches a run for their money.Dont blame the singer for her thunderous talent, blame her maker cause he made her voice in his image. And he did damn good job! Belt them notes out Patti.

[ICANDIGUOUT]

patti will always be a beast! awesome powerhouse vocalist!

[jacobrogers18]

what was the choir for?

[notabadguy06]

wow.......that was sooooooooooooooooo over the top

[Nate37982]

the lady has awsome singing skills but it was a little bit to exagerating

[OmegaJerico]

I've seen this video at least a Million times...Patti LaBelle had to sneak out of Heaven because she is not from this World. That Voice is a once in a lifetime deal for 1 Person...She's done what she was suppose to do with that type of Gift.

[WHITESLICK10]

All i can say is DAM she got vocal cords for life.....wow ! This is my first time ever hearing her do this and i didn't know she did such a great job on it. Her vocals are like out of this world.

[TEoDOrIsM]

shut up...wtf is she doing with the song

[Dionysus269]

SANG PATTI!!!!

[efil4own1]

Hoo boy...what a voice! I hope she has a lifetime contract with an optician...I thought I heard someone's glasses break towards the end! :)

[mmoran3]

sounds like a shouting match

[BoydashianLive]

Her and Jennifer Hudson have two things in common, loud, Louder and LOUDEST.....

[muzikisl0v3]

Chiiild, Patti dont play !!

[pinkmusiicluva]

Mariah who?

[aNdReW16944ever]

so much high!!!

[444drive]

The absolute best version I have heard. Daaaamn!!

[SoIcee15]

whoo! that "land of the free" part was banger!!! she is a beast!! lovee it

[AsiaticBeauty]

Brought me to tears.....GO PATTI!

[princemakar]

DAMN I LOVE PATTIE. POWERFUL 3:54 "BRAVE"

[MisterCrazyLegs]

when she got to "and the rockets red glare", the hair on my arms stood up. Her chops are a force of nature, and she's about as subtle as a jackhammer, when she sings. She's always been a "go hard, or go home" kinda singer..and I adore her. Definitely, one of the greatest vocalists of the last century, no doubt.

[MrMusicstone]

im sry but this is rly bad...

[sblxi]

@MrMusicstone I agree.

[MUSICLOVER79100]

SING IT PATTI!!!!!!!! YESSS!!!!!

[buttazz4]

sheer power and beauty...

[CallmeXtina80]

@misterbee66 I'MMA SCREAM SHE'S ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE & TALENTED VOICE OF THE LAST 100 YEARS

[delriosbro]

i think she has been banned from the national anthem for the next century. Her voice is too strong. some songs she can sing that are made for her.  we know you can blow girl.

[doublej777]

Bill Clinton: "Get it Patty"

[ChariceBillboard]

ewww

[R0BUchiha21]

YES PATTIE GET IT!!!!

[biencenose]

this is the most annoying version.hahahaha

[lesfeuillesmortes]

Screaming for the win, haha

[TICETOCAR]

I had the door open while playing this.. dogs actually came running in my room!!! but yeah, she can sing alright :-)

[johnnycip]

the only bad note here is hearing the ECHO over take the next lyric. Patti BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE...

[MikeSings82]

@johnnycip Yeah, agreed. That echo was soooo annoying and ruined an otherwise phenomenal performance.

[johnnycip]

at 3:32 that no respect JEHOVAH WITNESS serina/venus williams. SITTING during the national anthem. I can feel the hate JW'S have for coun try just by looking at herr face...

[calientando]

Horrible... Way to loud

[Bariterror]

Pfft, who needs subtlety when you can belt!?

[DanielAvilaAGT]

Yeah i wouldn't dare to mess with her either at school. she would turn anybody deaf trying to lecture you lol.

[Mation1982]

Get it Patti get it. She did that

[Mation1982]

Get it bitch get it. She did that

[robiealva]

you needed to be there! five stars.

[brimosi]

she didn't need that mic!!!

[chi2capcorn]

@brimosi lol

[jeanise10]

@brimosi I know thats right lol Ms patti has some lungs on her hahah she can't smoke no way. hahah
