Awesome Presentation& John Shepherd& his new new composition of America.. also the Met Brass Musicians accompanied by their Met Conductor Yannick .. Also the young 19y/oTennis pro is from Delray Beach( the town I live ,in Florida) Musically yours Shirley De Carlo Helems 🎶🎺
Where’s the Mexican anthem, Chinese Anthem, Japanese Anthem, Native American Anthem, Korean Anthem, Jewish Anthem, Irish Anthem, Polish Anthem, German Anthem, Indian Anthem, Polynesian Anthem, Arab Anthem, Armenian Anthem, Greek Anthem, Italian Anthem, Inuit Anthem, Mongolian Anthem, what makes Black people so special. Every race I named were enslaved at one time or another.
but not in America..Black Americans built America ,by the blood, brutality, and the sweat of their brows..No other nationality except the original Natives of this great land endured such hardships.. FOOD FOR THOUGHT... IF white America would live up to it's creed that all are created equal and treat other race the same as themselves, we wouldn't be having this conversation....
Umm because America’s slaves were Black people and this is the US Open? Also an African American Woman just won the US Open Championship. Maybe that’s why? SMH
Last time I checked the US was the land of the free. You know freedom to sing whatever song you wanted on a sporting event. Make up your mind. Do you want freedom for everyone or just people that think like you?
when righteousness flow like a mighty river, and justice as the waves of the mighty ocean, then we won't need two of anything. Americans separate Americans, nothing else..
A lot of triggered fake Americans in the comments. There's only been one national anthem. Leave it to leftists to want to rewrite history for their own self validation
@@macadon looks like you are responding to all the counter comments. Listen up, we are one nation and should have one sung before the game. Or nothing at all. Where is my Hispanic anthem? Where is the Chinese anthem? So, ESPN shouldn't highlight something that causes division. At least win a war of independence if you want that song played.
@jayizanu5990 Not for re segregation but its obvious the people who take issue with "Lift Every Voice" composed by a black person being played, absolutely are for it.
@jayizanu5990 Everything about your comment was incorrect. You don't have a valid reason on why you believe "Lift Every Voice" shouldn't be played. Other than the fact that the word "Black" is associated with the song. They are songs, two different songs composed by two different American men. Its not my fault that you are triggered by the idea that Lift Every Voice" is referred to as the "Black National Anthem" a Song that doesn't say only black people are allowed to stand when played. Everyone regardless of race have the freedom to stand proud when its played. The fact that you are against a song that speak of liberation just shows it is you who are for segregation or rather the silencing of content composed by someone other than a white male. Quote a lyric from the song that speak of divisiveness?
USTA may sing whatever they want but the US anthem is the Star Spangled banner. To not sing it on September 10 ceremony globally transmitted is very sorrowful and represents the divisiveness the media wants to impose over us.
Absolute rubbish. AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL is just as patriotic. It has a much more beautiful melody. And unlike THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER, AMERICA's lyrics don't have the scourge of the American racism that gifted us race-based chattel slavery and Jim Crow.
@@macadonno.....stupid and divisive. And you're on every comment section defending that trash song. Poeple don't like it but you, and few reddit/Twitter sjws. It's horribly divisive and stupid.
@espn can you post the ladies pre-match performance by Cecile McLorin Salvant? Is was magnificent!!
There seems to be no video! Why would they post this but not Cecile? It was exquisite.
Equal pay but not equal representation for women in the media 🤔. Still have a ways to go
Wow! Will killed that performance. 👏🏾🎹🎼
Will is an extraordinary talent! Bravo!

Thank You .. sounds like you appreciate great music presentations ..🎶🎺 Shirley
What a beautiful rendition of our blended hopes!!
Hopes put through the blender.
Sorry moron…there is only one true national anthem.
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL is a much more beautiful song than THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. It's also easier to sing. You haters are deranged.
Where’s the Mexican anthem, Chinese Anthem, Japanese Anthem, Native American Anthem, Korean Anthem, Jewish Anthem, Irish Anthem, Polish Anthem, German Anthem, Indian Anthem, Polynesian Anthem, Arab Anthem, Armenian Anthem, Greek Anthem, Italian Anthem, Inuit Anthem, Mongolian Anthem, what makes Black people so special. Every race I named were enslaved at one time or another.
Bravo. Agreed.

SMH
Learn US history. Quit being an ignorant snowflake.
Give us the names of those anthems and tell us if they were in America composing those songs. Then you're argument will have some validity.
Thrilling! Magnificent!
I thought Star Spangled Banner was the US anthem?
The announcer never said those were anthems and also we have the freedom to play other songs besides star bangled banner at sporting events.
Seems lately the trend has been to sing everything but the national anthem. They did the same at the KC game
Last time I checked the US was the land of the free. You know freedom to sing whatever song you wanted on a sporting event. Make up your mind. Do you want freedom for everyone or just people that think like you?
@@macadonget lost commie
@TampaBayBuccaneers330 And we do. Not my problem if you don't look at "Star Spangled Banner as one but it is.
We don’t need 2 anthems
when righteousness flow like a mighty river, and justice as the waves of the mighty ocean, then we won't need two of anything. Americans separate Americans, nothing else..
Oh! and by the way..What a beautiful rendition of the TWO anthems blended TOGETHER...
@@jamesingram7097There's only one national anthem. The black national anthem shoehorned in is comical.
Change the channel if you are that triggered. Star spangled banner doesn't always need to be played.
A lot of triggered fake Americans in the comments. There's only been one national anthem. Leave it to leftists to want to rewrite history for their own self validation
…what a joy….
What about the Asian national anthem?
What about it? Book a ticket to Asia.
Do you know an Asian composer who made an anthem here in America?
What about the Native American national anthem? I say we do it all. Lets sing the German one too 😂
what about the Mexican National Anthem?
@@supertomchickenslick6010 Have you read their National Regulations. You might want to check that first.
Beautiful renditions! The other commenter proves exactly why there's two anthems.
why
How do they prove why there are two? Are we two nations?
Well the guy never said they were anthems. But it's awesome both songs were played.

This about as anti American as you get. Woke leftists never cease to amaze me
We don't need 2 anthems....
Yes we do. "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" is played so can "Life Every Voice". Get over it.
The 2nd anthem is for the woke DEI pansies who hate America

ESPN stop pushing this.
Nobody is forcing you to watch. Go eat some horse paste or whatever.
It's was awesome stop crying. It's not stopping anytime soon
@@GoGoPooerRangers😂😂😂 thank you
@@GoGoPooerRangersHorse paste? Huh? Such a quality comment.
ESPN is owned by Disney what do you expect...F both of them

Divided even by song. USA such a sad path you are taking your nation down. It makes no sense.
Cringe
Nope it was great he did a great job.
Super cringe. Everything about this DEI baloney is anti American
@@macadonno.....stupid and divisive. And you're on every comment section defending that trash song. Poeple don't like it but you, and few reddit/Twitter sjws. It's horribly divisive and stupid.
They can’t be bothered to perform the US National Anthem at the US Open.
Pathetic…
Gorgeous voice but they should be singing the Star Spangled Banner
Only one national anthem.
This is ridiculous and sad that, at the US Open, our national anthem is replaced with this bs.
Stop this insanity!
