- When a singer failed to show up for her performance of the national anthem at a game between West Virginia University and Kansas, police officer Carlton Smith jumped in. Someone remembered Smith, a former contestant on "American Idol," was in the house, working security His knockout performance stunned the crowd. The scheduled singer, Leslie Dorchester, got stuck in traffic during a really bad snowstorm pounding West Virginia on Tuesday. #InsideEdition
The announcer talking over the actual song is so annoying!
Danielle Ortiz That's Inside Edition for you. Trash tabloid channel.
Lmao he sounds like a Disney channel commercial narrator
The actual video is on this website. If you want to hear it, look it up.

Danielle O right
I'm so sick of the anthem being sung with exaggerating prolonged endings. Why can't it be sung like the cop did. Simple yet beautiful.
Fredrik Chang because people insist on showing off their vocal "skills"
Fredrik Chang agreed
Fredrik Chang foreal. Thats the true America.
Can you do better??

That cop has s beautiful voice
FLAVATOWN you've got that right!
brianna he do
brianna yes
yes
I hope he gets a opportunity to follow his passion
It seems more appropriate having him sing it as he puts his life on the line every day.
Agreed
Chill gen z gonna bark at you

@@jackconnor6172 he said cringe thats def one of em😂
Stop talking and let us hear him sing god damn it.
Yes
Was gonna comment this too, like damn
Asking a recorded vid to stop talking well anyways, who has the full link of the singing instead?
It’s a news channel just search for the original vid
Just watch the original video, they would've ran out of time
All im saying is she got stuck in traffic which sucks, but don’t take his moment away this video should have been all about him
no wayyyyyyyyy
I can guess why....
@@hemlock4519 what?
Tbf it was mostly about him.
Nobody is taking the story away from him...
Can he give Fergie lessons?? Lol

TRUE
I’m your 525 like 👍👍👍👍
Literally LOL’d 😂
It's illegal for him to be this handsome.
🤭🤭😳😳🔥🔥🔥
He's an officer so he better go arrest himself then 😂
@@queenz6988 lmao duuuuuuumb 😄
If it’s illegal to be handsome, you can call me a law abiding citizen 😎
@@pablomendoza4950 lololol!
Plot twist: The singer was pulled over by another cop.
Lol
Lol
That was the plan all along
Teamwork
@@calebr3097 BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Better than Fergie still! Love it 😍

Low bar
i hate american tv. this dude singing his heart out and the news guy is just talking over him unnecessarily.
Well look up actual video jesus it new video
@@kingwolfboss6144 ah yes, new video from 5 years ago
He's handsome. His voice is beautiful and I appreciate his service as an officer. 😍😍
Swipe right.
You in love girl?
@@romekhannaI'm a gay female. Lol. However, this officer is very talented. 👍🏻
I wanna cry...God bless this man. For filling in,and putting his life on the line for others. 🥰
Send this video to the NFL for the Super Bowl. He would do a better job than most celebrity singers and what a tribute to Law Enforcement during these difficult times for Police officers. Lets draft Officer Carlton Smith to sing National Anthem at the 50th Super Bowl. Tweet #Officer Smith for Super Bowl 50
I would follow with this movement
Fast forward to this year and there is a 0.1 percent chance that is happening but I wish it would
@@mattyb3050 yup
@@mattyb3050 because of blm and trying to live koolaid drinkers
Preach!
he was better anyways...
jennacablair how do u know?
+Mikai Sheppard bc the video lets u listen to her -_-
It’s very different from being on a speaker/microphone than regular voice on a phone
jennacablair that's what I was thinking
She isn’t bad but he’s better than her
It's not that he's NOT better ... just that they each have their own respective complimentary sounds.
[diamond] yep
@@trenae77, so... he is. Saying “It’s not that he’s NOT better” is a double negative meaning he is better.
Lol she hasn't got a microphone in hand.. obviously it would sound trash
@@liamc1102 if you can sing you don't need a microphone to sound good if you can truly sing. A lot of Street singers don't always have a microphone.
who got this recommended in 2021 AND IT WAS 5 YEARS AGO now
Me too ... 2021!
I was thinking the same thing
Me
🙋
Yup. Been happening way too often. Algorithm is messed up. Got news ads + clips from '09, recommended vids I've never in my YT history watched...crazy. Seeing less + less of my own subscriptions on my feed
I personally think Carlton did better than Leslie did, but I didn't finish her performance. But, they both have a beautiful voice!!!
Same
He's been preparing for this moment since birth
Awesome to see people actually standing with their hand over their heart
It makes me feel proud to see how passionate this hot cop sing the national
anthem. And I'm not even an American! A snappy salute to the flag and to you, sir!
In the same way we think all veterans thank this police officer for his service!
As veteran and retired nurse, I always do thank them, and our firefighters and paramedics, other community volunteers as well.
I beleive God gave this man an open door right here. Beautiful absolutely beautiful.
only if fergie got stuck in traffic
a l a n i best
😂😂😂
Lmao
Who is Fergie?
@@user-wh5fj6pj6m A Woman who sang the National anthem for the 2018 all star game and she sang it horribly
Little do they know the cops friend pulled her over so he can sing
This comment is underated
LOL!!!
Best comment
Lol caught him 😂
Definitely underrated comment.
Singer: not gonna make it
Cop: hold my gun
Carlton, man you nailed it!!!! Plus you knew ALL the words....I keep watching it over and over again.....GREAT JOB particularly at such a moments notice!
I feel bad for the original singer. He was way better than her!
Both of you make my eyes water. GREAT JOB
I salute you! Hands down beautiful performance!!!
Tbh the cop sounded better than the girl that was supposed to sing it
100%better
My substitute teacher knew him in college and we got to facetime with him, and we got gim to sing Hello by Adele.
Forever_ Gabby Last time I checked how do you know he’s telling the truth that’s like saying he didn’t shoot someone because no one else saw or heard it
Damn, it's a small world..
Super cool!
Wow thats awesome. Hold on one second, let me get a calculator to calculate the time we asked
Meanwhile, the ticket office was robbed.
😆 🤣 😂
Seriously, he was awesome and it's very cool thing he did. 👏 👏 👏 👏
CNN:”now it’s your chance to sing on the show”
Leslie:”ohhhh say....”
CNN: *GOOD JOB LESLIE*
This isn’t CNN
Right😂😂😂😂😂
I think as much as CNN hates cops, they would have preferred her out of spite. CNN hates cops.
Carlton was like hold my coffee
hes better than hers
It’s like inside edition waits to talk only when the singer is on screen
Can you imagine if they sing a duet? That would have been perfect. They both have amazing voices.
He should be on America’s Got Talent!
Wow !! He has a fantastic voice !!
God bless you sir you have a beautiful voice.stay safe GO Blue👍🤗🤗🤗
This cop was on stand by, literally!
This freakin made me tear up. Good job inside edition for letting the young lady sing on your show. Post both full videos please. I wanna hear the whole thing!
He was there and knew the words, too# Go Carlton.
I'm sure Leslie will have many more chances to sing the national anthem but this day was meant for Carlton.
They both sound just great. It is a difficult song to pull off properly.
Interviewer: “Describe that moment when you realize you couldn’t make it?”
Me: 🙄
Leslie you missed the show cause of weather, better give youa rain/snow check, can't wait to hear your rendition
He crushed it! 👏👏👏
They both sound beautiful!
I'm just here commenting on every national anthem about Fergie's anthem at the NBA game lmao
James Go LMFAOAOAO SAME
he's been waiting for this moment all his life
WOW!!! Great voice!! So glad he was able to sing at that game! And the young lady sounded great as well!
plot twist: the officer highjacked the traffic so he got to sing
SWEET VOICE LESLIE / GREAT JOB OFFICER TAKING LESLIE’S PLACE
I love when humans get together like this. Rare and beautiful.
I am an immigrant citizen of The United States Of America and i am so proud that i did not move in the country of less patriotics. Proud to call myself a citizen of a country full of talent/courage/patriotism/love/care and the list goes on. God Bless America.
Awesome story. She had a beautiful voice as well.
His voice is so beautiful!
He waited his whole life for this moment
Reminds me of my pops. He's retired EPPD and also a beautiful mucician himself. Much love from El Paso, Texas 🏜️♥️
At first I didn’t realize this guy sings as a pastime and I was genuinely shocked at how well he performed.
Where can I find a video of this without reporters yapping over it? Thanks
Abigail Carroll lmfao for real !!!!
He is great! And, wow, her voice is amazing too!! ♥️👏🏼
He still sings the anthem for us at WVU!! His voice is fantastic and he’s surely a familiar face to many! I’m a Junior currently and have had the pleasure of meeting him numerous times. Great guy!
Not gonna lie, totally stopped the video as soon as the chick started singing.
steve david yeah she sucks
ndgo ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
She had a good voice too though.
wtf she ain’t even that bad
ndgo what?
WOW! THERE’S A REASON WHY EVERYTHING HAPPENS. ❤️
What an awesome opportunity for Carlton Smith! Thank you for your daily service. God bless you, your Family, and your Team/Blue Family! 😊👍❤️🇺🇸🦅👮
WOW ... Thanks to both
Just beautiful glad you were there ☺
Agree (Christina's was an epic fail). AND HE SANG IT CORRECTLY. It's all at the "banner" part. "Oh, say, does that star-spangled BAH-NER-ER yet wave" (not "ba-ah-ner"). I'm sure you know what I mean. Even Whitney Houston, who was the best with her creative license, sang that part correctly. Both performances make me so proud of (and sentimental for) our country.
Being ready in season and out of season. Nice job!
I called 911 that night and they sent a professional singer.

Lone Warrior yah yeet

HE SANG SO GREAT😍😍😍🙌🙌🙏PURE TALENT! GOD BLESS
Amazing thank you OFFICER
And people want to label all officers as bad....
As he singing this he's thinking I wish this actually applied to me
Haha I’m mad she tried to sing still at the end 😂
Awesome performance !!!
That's a tough tune to sing on a moment's notice. Nice job!
lol earl sweatshirts dad
Wow... You receive the "You're not Fergie" award
What a legend. Respects to the cop
Bless you.
That cop should sang the anthem at the nba all star.
And the home of the “BraveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEeeeeee”
The correct way, the cop was: And the Home, of the Braavee
Nice to see everyone standing :)
Wow!!!
I have goosebumps! He was amazing
What the heck, I was expecting to see dude sing the anthem. They showed us literally two seconds of him, no one came here to see the lady sing 😂
Better than Fergie
Fr lol
Dariel Castillo Nigga Im better than fergie
Leslie has one heck of a voice!!!
Leslie was actually really good too!
i think he was better than her go head mr cop u have a great voice!
