Marc Anthony sings 'God Bless America' at Citifield All Star Game 07-16-2013

Marc Anthony singing "God Bless America during 7th inning stretch at Citifield during the All Star Game. As you can see I was sitting just above the American League Dugout and was recorded by my iPad mini, which unfortunately has no zoom capability in video mode. I have also recorded and uploaded Neil Diamond's version of "Sweet Caroline" sung as a tribute to Boston after the events at the marathon in April, and also the emotional entrance of Mariano Rivera in the 8th inning. But the big controversy is in this video. Its not way he sang thew song, but rather because Marc Anthony is of Puerto Rican decent (he was born in NYC to Puerto Rican parents). His music is also big in the latin scene, leading some people to believe that he is Mexican. In fact, Puerto Rico has been an US territory for more than a century. Long story short, there are some people (racists) that fell that as a Latin genre singer of Puerto Rican decent has no business singing "God Bless America"

Thanx for uploading this video ...Gives us a great perspective from the audiences point of view... and it sounds even more inspiring than the official release.

Marc is a great singer! Stop judging him!!! His a latino BORN AND RAISED in AMERICA. He's very proud of being Puertorican and American at the same time.
