National Anthem Fuckup

if that happened on n korea they would kill u

this is a lot better than if she nailed it perfectly,im not american and i've heard the anthem a bunch of time,this is the first time the whole anthem touched my heart, perfomances like this are the real thing,not some perfomance by an over rehearsed star who is probably lip singing,and then she went on to finish with the aide of the gentleman, together we indeed stand, too bad all some people will see is failure even in triumphant times cause they are such huge failures themselves.

She did her best, most of us would have just walked off. She may not be the best singer but that's not the easiest song either. My hat off to her effort.

would have been funny if she had brittany spears stuck in her head at the time, she starts busting out "hit me baby one time"

wonder da fools who posted the -ve comments wud hav da guts to pul sumthing like that..the coach n da crowd was so supportive.dats how it shud be..

she is my idol

I can't believe so many comments were filtered. How can anybody say anything bad about this situation. I'm sure the girl studied the song long and hard, but when faced with the bright lights and crowd of thousands looking at you, it's easy to "freeze". Even professionals will admit to it. And kudos to the coach who immediately saw the need to step in and give the poor girl some assistance. I wonder how many of the idiots who left negative comments would have the nerve to do what this girl did. I salute her, the coach and the crowd.

Now Roseanne Bar, that's a whole different story. DUMB

I feel for her and what a gentlemen he was coming to her aid , she will never stop being nervous when it comes to being in front of a crowd nice voice though..

But you were wonderful and a nation of people identified with you and gave the best of them the chance to show how much they loved you. The worst of them are also in evidence they cannot help but expose themselves to us all, pity them for they cannot pity themselves.

Have ANY one of you that knocked the performer tried to perform the National Anthem in front of a crowd in a gymnasium/stadium? I'd be to say not; unless you've done it, stfu. When I was a senior in high school I had the privilege of playing the anthem for our home basketball games. I am a saxophone player, and I can honestly say I never made a mistake with the phrasing...did I make mistakes elsewhere, maybe a breath where I shouldn't have taken it and etc? Yeah, why? Performance pressure causes these subtle mistakes...and as a singer, if you draw a blank in a performance situation and can't recover, this happens. It's totally understandable...at least if you know what it's like to try it.

Perhaps Mr. Maurice Cheeks is a decendent of american slaves - the lower-case in intentional. What difference does that make? Despite a cruel legacy, long discarded, this Gent stood up, walked forward. Mr. Cheeks took a stand, You impress me. I read Frederick Douglass in You, Sir. Stephen.

There are children who are viewing this content.

Okay rednecks, it's just a song you're brainwashed with, nothing important. She's a kid, under pressure, and she cracked up, that's all. At least she stood up and tried.
Land of the free, home of the brave... Yes, some are, but plenty of you aren't.

What he did was very wit & warm-hearted!! Well done!!

Honestly, you people, haven't you ever heard of someone being nervous and scared.....for goodness sake give the kid a break....I wonder how y ou would do before a huge audience....

It is not easy to stand up & sing in front of thousands of people, yet alone all the TV cameras, and lights flashing . I think she done very well, especially for a 13 year old. Everyone thinks they can do it till they try! I thought she was great, and the guy who came up to help her too. Not easy.

she's so cute tho.. lol

Alright she shouldn't be up there but hell let's give her some credit...could u continue? ha ha ha she still sucks :)

My heart goes out to that girl and her famaily, Americans should not be hard on her. I hope she forget it and keep on with her normal life. JUST LET HER BE.

Who decided the F word had to be in this title?
That really distracts from the theme.

Nobody is perfect.So this girl she did very good.We still have to consider that she is very young.Well done kido.

her messing up, the gentleman coming out to help, and her gathering up the courage to continue, honors this meaningful anthem greater then any perfect rendition by some egotistical celebrity.

I say WELL DONE young lady!

she did good i think to

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

THIS GIRL IS THE BEST, FROM ALLMOST AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION SHE GOT HERSELF UP AND WWENT ON AND BROGHT HER PRODUCT- VERY WELL DONE.
VERY WELL DONE' OF COURSE TO THE PERSON THAT CAME OUT AND HELPED HER TO GET HER PRODUCT OUT.
THE MOST CHARMING CLIP.
THANK YOU Craig.

...she is not the first to forget the words during a performance. She came out the next year and did it again perfectly at another sporting event. Good for her.

Kudos to this young woman for trying in the first place. She even had the will to continue. Wonderful to see someone come to her assistance.

Id only cry 4 the rest of my life!!

this girl has allot of guts to go on , respect !
thank's !

THE ONLT THING I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT TOOK ALOT OF GUTS AND COURAGE, FROM A VERY YOUNG LADY. YEAH SHE DID MASS UP , HOWEVER SHE DID CARRY ON AND CONTINUED TO FINISH THE SONG..SHE DID THE BEST SHE COULD DO!! YOU HAVE TO GIVE HER SOME CREDIT.

Lets see you get up there and do this , so she fucked up . At least she had the balls to keep going ! Unlike all you small minded whiners. Grow up .

It's a kid!!! What is wrong with you people? I guess there are only a handful of people that make mistakes anymore. Everyone else is perfect. NOT!!!!

This beautiful, confident singer made me feel joyous and proud of her and her magnificent nation.
She is an ambassador for the very best of youthful America, especially when I compare her with all these Pop Idol hopeless'es my faith is suddenly restored in a fine young woman like this.
It reminded me and gave me a chance to forgive myself for the many forgetful moments in my life. Thank you.

That was one warm demonstration of what happens in this country when we see someone in trouble....More of this please??

I agree, Rosanne Barr just made up her own lyrics.

I felt so bad for her, but honestly how many of us actually know all of the words?? LOL... I like how the audience pitched in to give her a boost too.

I liked it, I felt embarrassed for her, what a screw up lol

i feel so bad for her! she forgot the words poor girl in foront of everyone! at least that man was nice enough to go sing with her and make her feel better

are the Black People.That is what we all learn from this clip...

and still some people
r discriminating them!!!
am not an american
but i hope a black man
will 1 day b da
president of USA!

would of been better if she got brittany spears stuck in her head -hit me baby one more time
