Best Renditions of the Star Spangled Banner at a Sports Event by a Female Singer
This was a great rendition, I really enjoyed it. Am looking forward to upcoming games in baseball, football, and even hockey. She is one of the best singers out there, and I can't wait. Maybe even the Super Bowl sometime soon, that would be extra great.
Jackie is a pure performer. She never overdoes it. She lets the song sing itself and we get to participate in her performance! She is plain ole thrilling! What a beautiful voice!
The only thing good about that game, was Jackie and her melting like butter voice. I had to listen to it again after the game just to feel better after my team stunk up the place.
Gobsmacked the announcers at the Thanksgiving Day game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions in Detroit, 2013
She is beautiful for an 11-year-old.
Hey, guys! This is a sing-along! That's how she sings it! And because of that, we get to think about the words! Not some fractruraization of the the intent of the song with grace notes that no one really wants to hear,. Oh, and she happens to have the purest voice on the planet. No brag. Just fact.
This is the only #1 option. No other comparisons, I can't believe a bunch of pedos are really simping for someone who was what, 11 or 13 when she did her famous renditions? What are some of these comments? "She is beautiful for an 11-year old"? Gross.
She has always been a favorite, plus her energy during this performance is real, and very patriotic.
The fact that this isn't number 1 is sickening. Stop riding Jackie evancho.
Young, vibrant Whitney at her very best.
Jackie returned to PNC Park after 6 years and boosted the home team to victory.
This national anthem without a doubt is the most rememberable one. Her singing flowed amazingly, and she sung in A DEAD MICROPHONE. This woman may rest in peace
Yes, the microphone was dead because she was lip-synching.
Should be Number 1.
Jackie Evancho is the best because she doesn't try to make it into a Pop song. She doesn't scream or yell the notes louder to be more impressive. She powers into her notes and sings them correctly. She does a 2 second octave jump on the word free for emphasis without overdoing it. Most importantly she does not try to make it about her singing or talent. ALL other singers are there to impress people with how great they are as singers. Watch as Jackie finishes her singing of the National Anthem. She does not say "thank you", raise her arms, or even take a bow. She is there to lead the audience in the singing of a song that represents our country.
NBC decided that a title sequence and a commercial were more important than the Marine Color Guard presenting the flag, and the singing of The Star-spangled Banner - particularly in these difficult times when a reminder of what we have in this country might make us stop and think what we would be were we to lose it. Luckily it was made available by the local television station, and can be seen on YouTube.
