CC's Perform The National Anthem at a Dallas Cowboys Game

[EngrishSongs]

Only americans would consider this good

[Moviesandvideo]

Shit sounds like the chipmunks.

[iknowthetruth881]

I am not a religious person at all. However, I would imagine this is what angels sound like.

[iSometimesWriteMusic]

DAT NATURAL REVERBERATION!

[SirAlfredSourcock]

Talented kids.

[c0N3x]

damn i got chills all over my bag..

[TdotFunk]

Beautiful

[CafeJack]

Great arrangement, but damn, turn that lead's mic down.

[kvkdani]

"You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father..."

[masterdequo]

so how much longer are you going to keep "land of the free" in your anthem

[ColdBlo0oded]

Who's cutting onions around here?

[FrostedBytes]

Well done, ladies.

[nrgianni]

Something about this is incredible. It sounds mediocre, but there's a few notes in there sent lightning down my spine.

[370H5SV]

this is the only thing that has touched me that much, besides uncle dave

[jonesy852]

@370H5SV

...do you want to talk about it?

[Chinabot1]

THAT'S ONE ODD LOOKING KITCHEN

[lotuswings]

@Chinabot1 ಠ_ಠ

[jayc5413]

this is the most incredible version I have ever heard of this song! BLOWed my Face away.

[muhnie278]

if i could pick one version to represent the USA, it would definitely be THIS ONE. beautifully sang :)

[1300176]

tony romo jersey rock on

[peace4111]

I love how the sound rings in the stadium! It makes it sound like angels! Amazing!

[CriticsBabe]

I bet you those 100,00 in that stadium got the same chills I have right now. That was beautifully sung!

[Scritley]

When someone sings the national anthem as it was written, without alteration, and with incredible feeling like this, it just brings chills to my spine and tears to my eyes.

NO ONE does it better than these young ladies... No one.

Best performance of SSB of all time. My only regret is that I was not at that game.

[Finne116]

There are some great four-part SSBs out there...including this one!!! But Whitney Houston is still the best. Hands down.

[MeandTobin]

This has to be my favorite SSB Performance of all time, anywhere, by anyone.

[whodatsed]

USA! USA! USA! We will overcome!

[brunetteDUH]

i love the part when they get higher and higher in the notes during "and the rockets red-glare" <3 favorite!

[JaredTVW]

It just amazes me how a song sung so well and with such meaning, can not move some people. Even while watching this video, I saw a guy checking his watch. A bit saddening.

[Dhemi4life]

This is honestly the best rendition of the National Anthem I've ever heard...OUTSTANDING!!!!

[WHS1985STINKS]

My father's cousin died in Vietnam, just so we could have the freedom to watch these young ladies sing our national anthem. Thank you Cuties, you really should sing this at the Super Bowl Next Year. May God Bless America. By the way, Extremesourtherngal, I've been on the waiting list for Redskins tickets for 18 years, and I don't dislike anything about my country, I love America.

[07yensid]

@extremesoutherngal: Those that dislike it are Redskins fans. :P

[07yensid]

Remarkable! Simply remarkable!

[steelers1249]

I swear America has the longest national anthem -__-

[djurmaine]

@steelers1249 Nope, we (the dutch) have the longest anthem. 15 Verses in total, but we only sing one during games and competitions! :D haha!

[raeram2008]

@djurmaine actually greece has the longest national anthem with 158 versus

[misstsarina]

I'm from Canada living in France, and I love the States, I love your patriotism, I love your national anthem and I love the people living there

[publicminx]

i am also not american but this is simply a great performance! very touching ...

[extremesoutherngal]

How in the WORLD did 12 people dislike this? What is wrong with those people???!!!

[4FabBEATLES]

I think its even more inspiring to see America's youth being partriotic- more patriotic than half the adults in the stadium even who didnt even put their hand over their heart like is proper to show respect to the flag.

[Jamez5cz]

I almous cry by hearing you cuties, cheers from Mexico

[hallohallo499]

make me cry

[peace4111]

Oh. My. God. Goosebumps. <3 Why is there not a LOVE button?!

[TheVerbas]

Wow. O_O

*likes*

~Jess

[OneCosmicGuy]

I think they are THE most beautiful voices to ever sing our National Anthem - I keep listening to it over and over....

[therealdezbah]

i almost started to tear up as well.. awww...loved it

[0000zequi]

i'm brazillian and ... i almost turn to tears

[analuisawadtassis]

@0000zequi sou brasileira também! elas não são demais ?? :))

[bccsb2012]

I have read so many comments saying that people want to hear the Cuties sing at the Super Bowl. Join Cuties Fans in asking the NFL to invite the Cuties to the next Super Bowl. Sign the ONLINE PETITION at the Care2 IPetition site: INVITE CACTUS CUTIES TO SUPER BOWL". Visit "Bring Cactus Cuties to Super Bowl 2012" Facebook page for the link & more info on the campaign.

[gpront]

A couple years later, they're still incredibly cute, and they have sung the National Anthem all over America, including Cowboy Stadium where it was recently butchered by a "major star." If you like THIS rendition, by THESE sweethearts, Google "Invite Cactus Cuties" and sign our new petition to bring the Cuties to Super Bowl 2012. The NFL is considering them!

[fistysticks]

nothings has EVER compared to the Jimmy Hendrix Vesrion of The Star Spangled Banner .. NOTHING !! .. umm ... well ... Until Now !!! .. sorry .. but .. Move Over Jimmy .. Here Comes the Cactus Cuties /Salute

[fistysticks]

i believe that if these girls sang this to every Nation .. the Whole World would be one giant U.S.A.

[TexasSniper67]

WOW! One of the best I've heard.

[firegod1124]

CANT GET ENOUGH!!

[ANWChocolate123]

do they still perform???

[supernova2233]

@ashleync29 True that....I have both raised:)))

[drewby613]

Another Superbowl, and still no Cuties singing the National Anthem. Grrr. Instead we get vocal gymnastics and botched lyrics. Can I make a safe statement? If you understand what the song means, you're not going to mess up the lyrics. Right? Is it *so much* to ask that we have someone singing the song who understands it? AND respectst it? Ya know what I mean? Go Cuties!!!

[MeandTobin]

@Jinpagee: The fifth Cutie in the original video is Tatum Lowe. She was pulled out of the group shortly after that was posted, I believe. One of the girls here, Andi Kitten, the lead, is no longer a part of the group. She had to drop out sometime around September. Makenzie Patton has stepped in in her place, and is doing a wonderful job! (In my humble opinion, anyway)

[StreekyD]

OMG I felt this sent shivers down my neck

GREAT job!!

[FloridaRaider]

They should have sang at the Super Bowl. 

[Kikilies]

There should be a love button! :)

[Kikilies]

This Belgian is in awe of this performance! I can sing, but how would I want to be able to sing like that! Such beautiful close harmony! They just rock that anthem in stead of the version of Aguilera I saw earlier today...

[MeandTobin]

Would've sang circles right around Christina tonight! Though, I feel so bad for her! Bothching the lyrics like that, that's gotta stink!

[bullhead003]

@MeandTobin Cuties still rule re National Anthem performance, but cudoes to CAguilaro re recovery.

[Jinpagee]

@MeandTobin These girls are truly growing up! Much better hairstyles ... but where's that 5th one?? Whoever is making the decision for who sings at the Super Bowl could stand a replacement ... or a fresher idea. Maybe next year for the Cactus Cuties.

[MsMinimoomoo]

how old r they?? there so good!

[cchanderson]

/watch?v=H-BCPymjGI4

[Tritan2095]

I keep watching this over and over. Spot-on harmony! I get chills everytime I hear this!

[breakthrough20]

@Tritan2095 i know right it just makes me shiver every time i watch it.

[AcidLifeform]

here's one twentieth of my country's population. i'd crack under pressure if i had to perform here. they really are a phenomena

[KashToront0]

Amazing!! @AlohaKash

LuckyStudent loves this!



[bus114]

Why is the biggest cheer always for the high note on "free-EE"? It's just a high note, much less impressive than their outstanding harmony through the rest of the song.

[SmileyJetsonxD]

Seriously how can you dislike this? If I heard a National anthem this good back when I was playing in high school, I would have been moved to tears

[MeandTobin]

I think this is one of their best performances. It's very powerful. Not that all of their performances aren't!

[JakeysMom07]

Awesome!

[DELLISTX]

Excellent

[AmazinGuitarist4u]

you arent supposed to raise your hand over your heart or this. only the pledge of alliegiance

[incr3d1bl3s]

@AmazinGuitarist4u

that is incorrect

[JakeysMom07]

@AmazinGuitarist4u

Since when ? We've always put our hands over out hearts for the National Anthem.

[jberlotti]

These little girls break me every time. They sing our Anthem with such reverance it gives me chills. These are 4 of the millions of reasons I have served in the Air Force for the last 15 years. God I love America!

[skycop61]

WOW WOW WOW~~~Perfection x4. It could never get better than that!

[ashleync29]

THIS Monday, October 25th, watch the Rachael Ray Show for a Cutie surprise! :)

[Dannoc100]

1:19-1:25 ...wow

[thekatelynahern1]

i sing better come on

[1m6]

nobody can beat the CC when it comes to singing the SSB

[kayla4n]

"and the rocket's red glare!!"

ahhh gets me every time.

[catesinky]

I like how the one 49'er clapped at the end

[chefrick]

Ironic to see then national anthem being telecast on an Asian manufactured jumbo screen....HOWEVER, the singing was awesome. 

[adorabletrainee]

singers that give you the chills. never gets old.

[BaseballFreak1468]

I was at this game and they were amazing!

[OttoRax]

Gotta remark here again, that this is so pure, so polished...it's almost beyond comprehension how these young girls can sing this song so perfectly. I thought the clip from the TTech game was the greatest rendition of the SSB I ever heard, but this is better. The only thing better in the Tech game was the crowd waiting till the last note was over to go nuts. NFL fans are clearly not as patient.

[wakawakacody]

Im not Americaqn but the Americans sure are loud at any FB game during the anthem just like how Canadians are at hockey

[rokarecisu]

Cuties, please don't ever change this. You have the best arrangement and rendition of the SSB there is. I have just made a playlist of all the Cuties videos of the SSB, Battle Hymn, God Bless America, etc and wound up with 20 videos Plan to play them all day tomorrow, the 4th.

[Scorpius2003]

This is amazing..speechless..

[msbloom100]

I'm not America, but hearing them sing the National Anthem so beautifully makes me feel like becoming an American! :O

[Dc3atl]

They are reaaaallly amazing! Great harmony great voices!! A+!

[questions117]

I love love love madelines high note in free! This is the best ever version of the national anthem. At the last rodeo I went to I almost had my eardrums busted by the woman singing...

[mkb2000bkm]

at 1:32, their harmonizing sounds "heavenly." And no exaggerating. Really sounds peaceful and beautiful.

[OttoRax]

What a gift. Hard work as well. They would blow most headline acts out of the water singing the Anthem at big-time events...Super Bowl, World Series, NCAA Tournaments, BCS, NASCAR, Indy, you name it. Love the Cuties.

[tntpilot96]

That was...Incredible. I would give up so much just to sing like one of them. I was almost in tears. Beautiful.

[rockinredneck57]

I'd have given this 10 stars if I could! Amazing! Anybody that "dislikes" this is not American!

[mattezyk69]

Still easily the best version I have ever heard of our national anthem. It is just incredible. They HAVE to do the superbowl.

[peacelover1233]

lucky ducks

[jellybeanhelene917]

OH MY GOD! That was INCREDIBLE!

[TheBroadwayChick22]

outstandly amazing! i wish i was there :( They sound almost exactly alike to thier recording in thier book" oh say did you know?" Now thats talent!

[freemankids]

i love this vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But isn't it funny if you look around and barley anyone is holding there hand on there heart! its sad how no one shows respect anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Iamyurdaddy]

This is beyond awesome, these 5 girls have more love and respect for our Flag and Anthem than the current leader of our country.

[jgriffin7]

Seriously?

[allison21fhf]

@Iamyurdaddy There are only four girls now! lol

[atuasuun]

This is how you do it!! These girls are really good!!

[dobb673]

Great!

[assphincter]

I would have paid for a ticket just to hear them sing live. The football game would have just been a bonus.

[bullhead003]

CCs in Concert 03- 5&6 - 10

[allison21fhf]

@assphincter me too!!!

[jaja3731]

WOW!! THAT'S the way to sing the National Anthem. I am so sick of these American Idol singers that can't hold a note (because they try to out do each other on how many notes/sec they can hit) to any of these girls. My vote is for these girls to sing at the next SB!!

[Sharke2121]

*Jumpin' up and down & waving hands frantically*

[ashleync29]

Raise your hand if you think the Cuties should have sung the Anthem at the Superbowl yesterday!!!

*Raises hand*

[americangirlmusician]

*raises both hands*

[MsActress101]

*raises both hands and person standing next to me's*

[sdlewy]

@ashleync29 I am raising mine!!!

[reimel37]

@ashleync29 Amen to that!!!!

[jamcow3]

i bet that blew everyone away... im just speechless

[SonshineGirls]

gives me chill bumps every time i watch it!!!!!!

[bullhead003]

would have near 100,000

[ccowgurl13]

@bullhead003 Wow!!! Are they ever nervous? Do they pray or do something that makes them not nervous before they sing?

[lovelylizzy29]

WOW thats all i gotta say! :)

[swagn]

it's reason like these young women that remind me why I serve

[Sharke2121]

Indeed, and thank you for your service!

[tkhxxx]

The Cuties version is better than whitney's. Much better

[rockymountainsunrise]

i put this right up there with whitney houston's super bowl version during the gulf war. seriously.

[kodokbuta1234]

Amazing and the best... better than other singers who tried to have their 'version' which make the song sound so weird and too much ! But Cactus Cuties.....This is just beautiful !!

[seatbelt899]

Being a disabled war veteran this is one of two of the best ever National Anthem singing I have ever heard. This song gave me goose bumps and tears. Thanks for a great job!!!

[Blooboy120]

Wow! In a stadium that big!! What an accomplishment!

[psychogal13]

So far, this is the best version I've ever heard of the singing of the National Anthem. (: Very well sung. Those little girls are such an insperation.

Great Job ladies!

[kathyx83]

whenever I hear these girls sing it gives me chills because it is just amazing; their voices.

[ravee0625]

They are so amazing! i love them so much :P i wish i could sing like them... Good Job Girls

[drewby613]

I get tears in my eyes from listening to this. These girls just plain OWN the National Anthem! Whenever I hear someone else do it, I'm always thinking--where are the Cactus Cuties to really do it up right? I only wish there had been another 10 seconds on the video to hear and see more of the audience reaction.

[savagex41]

i have commented before..and these girls are amazing..i mean half the time you couldnt hear them because everybody was cheering so much because they're so amazing!!

[jpashby60]

Their DVD is out and it is a must see...Please go to bullheads site and get this DVD...You will thank me later...Or call 806-747-5671

[bullhead003]

The Cactus Cuties LIVE at the Cactus 2009 DVD and CD can be ordered now at thecactuscutiesDOTcom or by calling 806-747-5671. They also will be available on ITunes. It was shot with 4 cameras and 8 audio tracks over 2 performances and is spectacular!

[steve89z]

the 4 angels

[imcline]

It sounds so cool in the Cowboys stadium! I've been there and it is really awesome!

[mariomaniac1234]

2:02 that high note hives me chills

[drewby613]

Not just you! You hear the audience react right there as well. I don't remember an audience reacting to a performance of the SSB in this way--ever. These girls really rocked the house. Wow, I'm putting a shortcut to this on my desktop. What a great way to close out the day!

[carrieunderwood5223]

1:31 is my favorite part.

[puppydogtail6]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ReIzzle]

i have NEVER heard a better arrangement of the national anthem. i've seen this video so many times and i can't help but keep listening. the harmony is amazing and intonation is perfect. awesome job girls!

[peace4111]

THAT IS SOOOOO GORGEOUS!!! Sweet, beautiful harmony! :D It game me huge goosebumps!!!

[mijobeka]

I'm from England and this is hitting us like crazy, We <3 CC!!!!

[textkestrel]

The camera work could have been better but the performance was amazing. On my knees teary eyed with goosebumps!

[JMarc85]

I can't stop watching their videos. I was there in person at the game when they performed this. One of the best arrangements of this song I've ever seen. Their finale cadence harmony was absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to hear more!

[ashleync29]

Whoever decides who sings at the superbowl, I say we email them this video, multiple times.

[americangirlmusician]

Yes for sure!!!!!!

[assphincter]

That was perhaps the most chilling, emotional, incredible performance of the national anthem I have ever heard. I literally have tears in my eyes. Absolutely amazing!

[Elyk913]

that note at 1:24 gave me chills :) I love these girls <3

[skullhead009]

why did you dislike my comment, i meant that they have beautiful voices and that they are as beautiful as angels, every single one!!!!!!!

[skullhead009]

you guys sing like angel <3<3<3<3<3

[milkman1974]

I love the innocence in their voices.

[sherrylynn1951]

Awesome. They still give me chills. What harmony!

[Monarchski]

My favorite, the Dallas Cowboys and the Cactus Cuties!

[nitrox28]

Simply amazing. Unreal.

[kobraa5000]

this is the most amazing performance.ever. period. im getting chills 5 mins after listening to it.

[TattooedCowboy]

As a proud Dallas Cowboys fan, a proud Texan, and an even prouder American...This the absolute best I've ever heard.

[DennyLyons]

I feel like this is one of the best performances they have ever given. I love this crowd too. Makes me proud to be in America!

Great Job!

[Shelleyralynn]

I had fever all week and when you sang in that video, it cheered me up! Thanks! Keep on singing, girls!

[DMMoulton]

It's very difficult to sing in such a large, booming space. The reverberations and echos can be very distracting. The Cactus Cuties did it with great success, as they do every time. Keep up the great work girls, and Pop, thanks for sharing their talents with all of Youtube. Your granddaughter and her friends are very talented singers. It would be great to see them make it big someday!

[toweryman]

good god.....this is touching everytime. so young talent and yet the best!

[lrover03]

They just keep getting better n' better n' better!! They sound soo good in that big new stadium (with the screens hung so low, LOL. Slight building defect there.) Great job gals!! :))

[jgriffin7]

Building defect?? What building defect? The screen is higher than the minimum allowed by the NFL.

[docintex]

my guess is that building defect is how they don't really sound together, and it really echoes... but thats just my guess. GREAT JOB CUTIES!!!!!

[coolblue127]

exactly!!

[wagarcarey]

I think they are still getting better, But will they still talk to common foke? lol Great kids gramps.

Wagar

[jdg48439]

These girls will never classify folk as common or uncommon. A lessen you could learn from them perhaps.

[indygrl92]

will u post that performance on youtube?

[fantasy8088]

Just saw them on the telethon. I thought their new song was AMAZING!
