Contest Winner Sings the National Anthem

Jordan Shelton of Arvada, Colo., was selected as the grand-prize winner of the Star-Spangled Banner YouTube Singing Contest sponsored by the National Museum of American History and USA Weekend. Jordan sang the national anthem on Flag Day (June 14, 2009) to a crowd of people including 28 young people who, just minutes before, became American citizens outside the Star-Spangled Banner exhibition.

Look at her mouth at the 51 second mark and you will clearly see that she is singing "at" not "that".

Slip slidin' away :O It would be a relief to hear a vocalist sing what the composer composed! Nice voice and range tho'.

the guy in the back is thinking "Did I turn off the Stove when I left home?"

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

The stupid falsetto point on "free" was retarded, though.

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

Her voice is extremely clean and powerful. Excellent job!
