Eddie Vedder- National Anthem Live at NBA Finals

beautiful voice

he sings it the best of everyone. We LOVE YOU VEDDER.

Fuck Vedder is cool - that version was a sick rendition of SSB - a million times better than the bullshit versions we get these days from chumps like Aguillera, Knowles, and multiple random American Idol winners. Bob Costas?! hahahah! - what a freaking Revenge of the Nerds'esk character that muppet is!

@smooveXXX  fuck yea man u feel that shit!!!!!

Pooor reporter everyone hate him now. He's just doing his job you pricks!!

That's the way you do it. No embellishments, no "look at me" histrionics or changing the words around, or taking 2 and a half minutes to sing it.
Just sing it the way it's drawn up and let the words of the song be the star, not yourself.
It figures E-Vedder would be smart enough to know this, as opposed to some of the dummies out there like the Jessica Simpsons and Beyonces of the world.

poor Bob Costas...why was he confused? i don't get it?

Bob Dylan's still around...so is Tom Waits...how can they be replaced just yet?

Not replaced yet,but when they go.....

I maybe wrong, but I understand that Eddie was singing an encore. He sung the anthem, Bob was about to begin his thing, then Eddie sang the anthem again due to crowd demand. That is, I think, why Bob looked like "what the" when Ed starts up the song.
