I much prefer a choir singing the anthem than ANY individual person.

[maurodiaz]

Why can't they have it like this in the Super Bowl jeeez not a diva singing it dramatically.

[brckstng]

This is how the Star Spangled Banner should be sung. God Bless the USA!

[vernonhedge]

LDSs sure can sing.
Time to preserve yourselves a nation again.
Goose bumps from this Briton. Thank you!

[ohaRega]

this gets me teary eyed.. so beautiful. and i'm not even american. or a mormon. or a christian. i'm a turkish atheist.

[jensensharp]

This song came to my mind today, very grateful for all our amazing brothers and sisters throughout history and here now that have served this great country!

[davidm.rubino]

This is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Thank you. God Bless America!

[epicwriter]

I always love the Mormon Tabernacle choir
They sing as if they sing with angels by their sides
Which they probably do😊. Happy Independence Day

[Rubycon]

It hits so much differently when performed with some reverence.

[superbee]

The seldom sung fourth stanza is my favorite ..

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[TWX]

This made me emotional. God bless America

[georgefelty]

This always stirs my soul when at attention!

[FFEMTB]

“Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there.” Man!!

[Asimyusree]

It’s amazing how they can held tears, i just can’t and i’m from Malaysia

[cmpurguy]

I don't know why, but I wanted to hear the american anthem sang by a chorus. I am not disappointed.

[skylercarlson]

A very profound hymn. The lyrics and music magnify the spirit of America and is beautifully sung by the Mormon tabernacle choir. Francis Scott key would of been happy to hear his poem sung by one of the greatest choirs in history.

[surenoganesyan]

Wow! I got goosebumps, listening to this, looking at their happy and proud faces, at the part they were singing about "the land of the free, and the home of the brave", though I'm not even american.

[micbelfast]

This reminds me so much of that deeply moving moment during the Opening Ceremony of the Salt Lake Winter Olympics when the Choir performed the American National Anthem as the athletes carried in the flag from the World Trade poignant and inspiringl....

[BobSFox]

" HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, 2017' Respect Our Flag Fox, USA

[jessieg]

They actually sing it like it’s an anthem, not a funeral dirge! Hooray!
