  • I am American. I love France (and hate the U.K.). I guess I am not your typical American that loathes the French and loves the British. People do seem to forget that France is America's oldest ally. And without French assistance during our American Revolution to fight off the evil British, there woud be no United States of America.

    People can call the French cowards. But not me. The French are the greatest people in the world. We came to their rescue in 1944 just as they came to ours in 1778.

  • The oldest ally of the United States of America: France!

    Vive les USA et la France !!!!!!!!

  • didnt realize they were singing the second verse in english...thought it was the first verse repeated in french haha..they know more than probably 99% of americans

  • @Kentaurosu I love France! From America. Gotta remeber man there arem oron every where and aot more on Youtube.

  • I can't believe you guys... talking about how France is supposedly 'anti-americanism' on a video showing 20 ordinary French citizens singing America's national anthem...

    Besides, know that American culture has been ever present, everywhere in France... for decades already ! Don't judge without knowing, geez...

  • @PhiloAmericana Anti-Americanism is a very complex topic... In fact, there are 7 different "anti-AmericanismS" (sovereignist, legacy, liberal, elitist, nostalgic, social and radical muslim), and all of them are active in France. Watch that video watch?v=LEw4wN-Wkz0 (What is Anti-Americanism? The Case of France ) and you will understand what it's all about. And dont forget the last words of the lecture "Dont take personaly ; the French are anti everything" (45'30). ;-)

  • Vive la France et l'Amérique

  • @patient451 That's because the way Mexico is portrayed in that video (A random desert with a fence and people behind it) the project idea as a whole is interesting and cool, but I do find the Mexico-US video kinda offensive.

  • Love how the video where the French sing the Star Spangled Banner, everyone loves it. But then the video where a bunch of Americans sing the Mexican national anthem is being slammed for hypocrisy.

  • @coraliefrom92 Oh no man it's the samething over here.

  • @TheIceman567 Most french people like Obama. :O They don't like Bush, though.

  • @coraliefrom92 Hey, How do most French people feel about President Obama. Because i really like Nicolas Sarkozy.
