I haven’t saluted a flag since I was in JROTC and ole Chris had me wanting to jump to attention and salute in my living room😂 I’m a proud American every day of the week but Chris put so much “‘MERICA” in my heart in that moment that I literally didn’t know what to do with myself 😂
Whitney’s was perfect for the epicness. Chris’s was perfect for a nation’s simple roots. Not the glitz or glam. It’s like the world got to peer into a typical American home of a man with his Telecaster who’s singing one of the greatest songs ever written and it’s so honest with the guitar playing and vocals. No need for flash because you’re singing a national anthem that cannot be outdone. Plus, considering what the whole world recently went through, we’re all, American or not, tired. Tired of the world being told to stop. So much turmoil in so many countries. We’re human beings who aren’t here for a long time. However, I hope we can be here for a good time. I love my country. I hope we never lose her. There will never be another.
The Star Spangled Banner is amazing no matter who sings it. I always cry. I'm very proud to be an American.... Hope you guys can come see America soon!!!
Homey is a very good description. Family and friends sitting around a fire. Chris's song brought tears to a lot of us. It's about the sacrifices made to keep our country free. Our family members that had and do serve.
Most people sing this song so people can really hear it, using all their belts, runs and octaves. Chris instead sang it so that everyone really felt it. My favorite rendition ever.
I promise you, if you see someone tearing up during the National Anthem, it has more to do with national pride and remembering sacrifices than how it is sung. I’m always blaming someone for cutting onions either at a high school event or professional
Yea, it makes me emotional too. Just imagining those early Americans battling the British all night, losing comrades, and seeing the flag still waving above in the morning. Those men had true belief in America, as I do today.
Chris has a unique ability to touch the souls of strangers and invoke raw emotion. Combine that, singing America’s anthem, at our largest sporting event… you are cooking with the good stuff brother.
You also need to see Pink singing it. These would be the top 3 all-time. Pink even said Chris's rendition was the best. All of them were awesome and heartfelt
It isn't his vocals, though they are EPIC, it is just the anthem before the games. I have never been to or seen a game where the players don't breakdown in tears. Either way, love what you said here. Thanks for the reaction. I may not be the most patriotic American, but the tears and goosebumps are in full swing when I hear it!
You would really enjoy the "flyover" videos at National Football (NFL) games.This is when a group of Military Aircraft fly over the stadium at the ending of the "National Anthem". The deep roar of the jet engines will give you shivers. Very emotional for the players and the fans. I was at one in Jacksonville, Florida and you could feel the vibration from the roar.
You might enjoy watching the videos of the best National Anthems flyovers at the Super Bowls. You know Americans have a special place in our hearts for our British cousins!! God save the King!
I'm curious, Do Brits not do this before your sporting events or major events? Are the British people not patriotic for their country? I watch these reaction videos of brits reacting to America things and love to see their amazement. Thanks
Heart and soul is what he sings with. By the way, Whitney didn't sing it all live there were parts that had been recorded and she lip synced them. Chris wouldn't do it but there were some sound issues but he said he wouldn't lip sync.
The USS Carl Vinson was the ship that dumped Osama Bin Laden's body for a burial at sea. I had completely forgotten this until today. It's wild the significance of showing them is.
Hi you two! Love you both and your react videos! Keep them coming please. I've got two videos that I'd love to see you react to. First is Pentatonix, singing Bohemian Rhapsody. The second is Richard Goodall on America's Got Talent, singing Journey's Don't Stop Believing. I'm confident you'll be blown away by them both! Thanks and much love from the U.S. ❤❤
whitneys version was awesome, but she didnt do anything different for it, chris brought something different to the table that also didnt ruin our national anthem!!
You guys really need to react to the Top ten worst tornadoes and top ten worst hurricanes that were put on by the weather Channel. I can link them to you if you need, they are some of the greatest weather documentaries you will watch as well as tornado alley videos. But with these put out by meteorologists, they have the most believable information as opposed to the other "tornado" videos you'll see online
Whitney was incredible, but the fact that it was produced does not feel right. Lip syncing the National Anthem feels wrong. Although Whitney did catch a little heat, and sang it live at a later event extremely well also. Chris just seemed real, sincere, and was not about himself. It was about the song and not himself. They are both great, but I would give the edge to Chris for sincerity.
For years I have attempted stop this improper display of the flag. I've also attempted to get the NFL and NCAA to remove the flag from athletic uniforms and helmets. I've been completely ignored by the organizations and individual teams. In accordance with the flag code, the flag of the USA should never be used as a decoration on football helmets nor sewn or affixed to athletic uniforms. (c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. Often you see our American flag carried into stadiums and arenas with people holding the flag by its edges thus displaying it flat in violation of the U. S. flag code. This should never happen. Every NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, college and high school game where the flag is displayed in this manner is a sign of disrespect. The American flag is to always be displayed or carried aloft. The only 2 exceptions are stated below. In accordance with the flag code, the flag of the USA is never to be carried flat. The only exception is when it is draped over a coffin or over remains during a burial at sea as seen below. In accordance with the flag code, the flag of the USA should never be used as a decoration on football helmets nor sewn or affixed to athletic uniforms. Yet, college and NFL teams place the flag decal on football helmets and sew it onto the front of basketball team jerseys.
Whitney's performance was optimistic and uplifting while Chris performed a more somber and reflective version and let the lyrics speak for themselves. Both are brilliant.
The main difference between Chris’s and Whitney’s is Chris’s was actually LIVE whereas Whitney’s was a studio production and she lip synced to it.. STILL iconic regardless and she would have sang it Iive I don’t know if they had the resources to do it back then or what
I love how Europeans react to U.S. content for those north american youtube views lol. Based on the comments, my fellow Americans are under the illusion it is out of genuine interest. How about some British content rather than pandering?
Whitney Houston's version was totally lip synced. This has been admitted by everyone from her camp. I wish everyone would stop talking about her version.
This was more emotional. Chris is umbelievable.
I think this entire country shed a tear that day....
I'm a Navy vet. I cried like a baby when I watched and heard this. What a proud moment.
Thank you for serving!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
🔥🇺🇲🤘🇺🇲🤘🇺🇲🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your service 🤝🏻
Thank you for your service

I’m a proud American every day of the week but Chris put so much “‘MERICA” in my heart in that moment that I literally didn’t know what to do with myself 😂
Chris’ was soothing. Whitney was powerful. I love them both. Amazing amazing amazing performances they delivered. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
That’s why Chris is one of my favorite singers he maybe considered a country singer but I love how his voice has that old school blues sound two it
Chris was amazing. It was very intimate and had so much care and thought into how he would sing it. His is my favorite.
Chris reminded us that we are all connected and that the blessing of Freedom is WHAT connects us.
Whitney’s was perfect for the epicness.

I love my country. I hope we never lose her. There will never be another.
He has a very unique voice. He is a country singer and the songs he sings sounds nothing like the traditional county music. He is so good.
The Star Spangled Banner is amazing no matter who sings it. I always cry. I'm very proud to be an American.... Hope you guys can come see America soon!!!
SAME!

I've never heard the anthem with out wet eyes god bless the u.s
This and Whitney. Distinctly beautiful, both. I feel like this one reflects the solemnity of our Anthem, Whitney’s celebrates our country.
As a 45 woman in Indiana I have to say this is the best!! Thanks for reacting :)
Chris has a unique ability to touch the souls of strangers and invoke raw emotion. Combine that, singing America’s anthem, at our largest sporting event… you are cooking with the good stuff brother.
Chris take felt like a prayer almost, kind felt like I was at Church.
You also need to see Pink singing it. These would be the top 3 all-time. Pink even said Chris's rendition was the best. All of them were awesome and heartfelt
This is the BEST
Its Real....
Chris is the one singing for OUR country and Yours
45/47 LETS GO!!!!!!!
Chris is AMAZING! Go thru that rabbit hole of LIVE performances of Tennessee Whiskey, Cold, the video and song of Fire Away….he is just that artist.
Whitney's was an awesome show and Chris' felt more personal....I know exactly what you mean --- Both awesome!
It was more "real" and heartfelt. Shit, I started crying and wasnt even at the game. Whitney was awesome as well.
My favorite version. I couldn't watch this Superbowl so very glad it's on RUclips now - I've watched it several times.
It isn't his vocals, though they are EPIC, it is just the anthem before the games. I have never been to or seen a game where the players don't breakdown in tears. Either way, love what you said here. Thanks for the reaction. I may not be the most patriotic American, but the tears and goosebumps are in full swing when I hear it!
You can't imagine what it's like to being in one of our stadiums when those jets fly over. The ground shakes and the stadium rattles.
Whenever I here the national anthem sung in a good way always makes me tear up
You would really enjoy the "flyover" videos at National Football (NFL) games.This is when a group of Military Aircraft fly over the stadium at the ending of the "National Anthem". The deep roar of the jet engines will give you shivers. Very emotional for the players and the fans. I was at one in Jacksonville, Florida and you could feel the vibration from the roar.
Now that’s how u sing the anthem
As an American and Kentuckian, you make us proud Chris.
You might enjoy watching the videos of the best National Anthems flyovers at the Super Bowls. You know Americans have a special place in our hearts for our British cousins!! God save the King!
Soulful.
We call it blues an soul down south home
Tie for the vocals, but Chris gets the nod for guitar and uniqueness.
the term you’re looking for is Soulful. a lot of southern music has that soulful twang.
Thanks y’all love yall
Yall should react to music it’s the stuff that binds us all try Chris Stapleton I was wrong live Tennessee whisky Cold and so many others
You don't even need to be American to feel patriotic after that.
I'm curious, Do Brits not do this before your sporting events or major events? Are the British people not patriotic for their country? I watch these reaction videos of brits reacting to America things and love to see their amazement. Thanks
The word your looking for is soulful. He has soul.
Heart and soul is what he sings with. By the way, Whitney didn't sing it all live there were parts that had been recorded and she lip synced them. Chris wouldn't do it but there were some sound issues but he said he wouldn't lip sync.
His was more from the heart.
You need to hear Tennessee whiskey, you won’t be disappointed!
The USS Carl Vinson was the ship that dumped Osama Bin Laden's body for a burial at sea. I had completely forgotten this until today. It's wild the significance of showing them is.
i love you guys alot. thank you.
homey and homely are two different things
Stapleton is a country singer.
Country people are proud Americans.
Hi you two! Love you both and your react videos! Keep them coming please. I've got two videos that I'd love to see you react to. First is Pentatonix, singing Bohemian Rhapsody. The second is Richard Goodall on America's Got Talent, singing Journey's Don't Stop Believing. I'm confident you'll be blown away by them both! Thanks and much love from the U.S. ❤❤
This was especially emotive.
All-women flyover the stadium. Awsome!...🛦
Other than that, the performance was perfect!
@@cwell510 what a pathetic little boy
This is the best version of all time.
"Homely" in the US is a synonym for ugly. We use the term "homey"
Yes it felt more less produced and more raw/
whitneys version was awesome, but she didnt do anything different for it, chris brought something different to the table that also didnt ruin our national anthem!!
Same on both things lol

Whitney was lip syncing... Chris Stapleton NEVER fails!!!!❤
Whitney's performance was optimistic and uplifting while Chris performed a more somber and reflective version and let the lyrics speak for themselves. Both are brilliant.
@YassFats Chris is the best live performance ever! Whitney’s was prerecorded in a studio and she was lip syncing when she performed at the Super Bowl.
I think you guys may also enjoy the performance by Jasmyn Sullivan
That's a good one as well
His version is so American. There’s nothing international about it.
Marvin Gaye at lakers game is my fav
The Best ever
Whitney was lip syncing not really live it was a studio recording being played , this is truly live .
bluesy style of music
The all women Fighter Jet pilots!!!
Whitney Houston i think was taped…..thus this beats it out.
They should have just kept Chris Stapleton to play the halftime show
I’m new to your channel but have yall reacted to the truth behind the star spangled banner video it will show why us Americans cry
I can be at that Stadium in 25 minutes...
Chris Stapleton is one of best voices out there
Have you guys seem the Super Bowl halftime show ?
Best rendition EVER!!!!
I love both versions, but Chris Stapleton just killed me with his version - his voice was raspy and rough, and it added grit to the anthem.
I agree with you , whitney houston was the best.
You two are wonderful ! Check out Mavin Gaye's National Athem at an NBA championship..
@FeeOzymandias-qc9ho Absolutely ! Ray was fabulous, too..
Homely here means ugly. Not a good word or association. 😂
Yass we got the same hair style
Twins 🥺
The best national anthem ever sung are the ones where the crowd sings it.
Sorry Whitney you have been replaced.
Madison rising Is a whole lot better
Now do Fergie national anthem at nba game 😃
Homely or... Down to earth
Can you guys react to US military base is everywhere 👍🏿
Whitney Houton had background music whereas Chris had only his guitar. Big difference to me. My vote is Chris
Never understood why after that performance he should have earned a half show of his own.
The word you're looking for is "soulful"
Was more Country
#TRUMP2024 baby!
The main difference between Chris’s and Whitney’s is Chris’s was actually LIVE whereas Whitney’s was a studio production and she lip synced to it.. STILL iconic regardless and she would have sang it Iive I don’t know if they had the resources to do it back then or what
I love how Europeans react to U.S. content for those north american youtube views lol. Based on the comments, my fellow Americans are under the illusion it is out of genuine interest. How about some British content rather than pandering?
Yeah you’ve lost your country I’m from Texas but you need to build guns and vote different people in.
Love your reaction but she is a robot. Unsubscribe for sure
Amazing until the chiefs fans ruined it
Whitney Houston's version was totally lip synced. This has been admitted by everyone from her camp. I wish everyone would stop talking about her version.
