- American Idol's Chris Daughtry sings the National Anthem for Game 7 of the 2011 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers! (St. Louis WON!)
Yes, he struggled a bit but still did an amazing job & is usually always consistent in his performances. He also tweeted that he got emotional while singing which explains why his voice cracked a bit. I still love Daughtry :)
I'm proud of Chris Daughtry for not being afraid to show his emotions when performing our National Anthem!!! He loves his country and it shows!!!
I get chills listening to him
Awesome job CHRIS DAUGHTRY!! Gives me chills!! a few cracks note wise, but, c'mon!! and hello, just look at him...H A W T!!! Go Chris!!!!
Chris crisped some of the lines--perfect for his style of rock. I really enjoyed the passion of his rendition.Great job, Chris!
Sooo good. I love him.
Goosebumb even crook in the highest note...
Chris Tweeted that he was emotional singing this tonight. It was a big deal...that's why his voice cracked a bit. Go and watch the clip the time he sang this song in 2006...it was flawless...give the guy a break. He's older with kids...I cry when I sing it too! That's what life does to you...makes you appreciate things and sometimes you get emotional! Great job, Chris!
I wouldn't say his voice cracked he's a rocker his voice doesn't go that high HE'S AWESOME AND DID AMAZING :) LOVED IT AND LOVE HIM!!!
People are so jealous of Chris because he's an amazing singer big deal if his voice cracked alittle shit happens an i think he sounds great an did the song justice he didn't forget the lyrics like that country dude.. lol so an he's a true rocker!! Great job Chris!
that was great chris GREAT JOB
@halag goof-he can reach them-big time- this was just a raw rock version-where emotion, nerves ect.... took hold.
Dear halag, it is called sincere emotion...I'm just sayin' Chris Daughtry, YOU ROCK!
so good!
Great job and I loved the emotion in Chris voice. He is real and he loves his country. Rock On
His voice gives me goosebumps.
Chris daughtry has such a beautiful voice. I love him and his music!
I felt bad for him that his voiced cracked, but it happens! His voice cracked, Christina Agulara messed up on the lyrics; it takes guts to do that. He is a fantastic singer and I
I love Chris' voice! He may have started the song out a little too high, which led to him cracking a little on "free," but nonetheless...all his performances of the national anthem are among my favorites! Everyone's a critic...from Scotty apparently messing up the words (IMO, he didn't) to this...If you think you can do better, post a video of you singing it in front of millions and we'll see how good you do! :)
excuse me all you people who are ditsing chris. one-he actually sang the song in the rythem and tone it was written. two-he actually sang it correctly. yea he chopped the high note where most singers do a run. he did fantastic. you people know shit!!!
The poor guy was nervous leave him alone. That's one of the hardest songs to sing and overall it was pretty good
Thank you!! HooRAhh!!
@parleyblues HE DID THINK about the song. Read his Tweets. He got emotional, & his voice cracked. Give the guy a break...he is talented, no question about that, but he is also, HUMAN! To all you who are "PERFECT"....if your momma taught you anything it should have been, "if you don't have something good to say, then don't say nothin' at all".
Im an australian and him singing the american national anthem makes me cry :'( i love you daughtry!!!!!!!!! you helped me through so much pain and sorrow when i turned 13, your music is my life, i still remain a fan
Chris' absolute top note is Bb. Trying to sing the NA in the key of D, which demands 2 high A's, was either a mistake or he doesn't know his own voice.
@jaynine65, I'm hearing the same thing you @montiolivettiand are: "he didn't go sharp on the first phrase...he chopped the high notes-thats it." And he already told us why. He sang this in 2006 from the same starting pitch (D) and he did fine, and as far as I'm concerned, he did fine this time as well.
He sang with respect and feeling, his voice right on key - whether he could sustain those two notes for this performance or not.
Not a Daughtry fan, WordNerd here - but what's true is true.
True, Hazard551, and I agree. But I also have immense respect for anyone who puts their butt on the line to sing that tough song in front of countless people, only to be sniped at and critiqued by the Peanut Gallery.
DavidC said it - (paraphrasing) Do it error free, no one cares. Nice job and on with the game. Mess up anything, you're fodder for a week. Those singers know what the score is...and they give the best they can for each rendition.
JMO. Of Course.
Oh and may I add he knew all the words ;p
i missed the beginning of the game. thank you for posting this!!
OOPS, I agree with @Cimco - NOT with montiolivetti. It's a shame - that mistake cost me some character count(*snerk*).
But since I'm here - go look up 'Chris Daughtry sing the National Anthem' from
the NFC Championship Game, Bears vs. Saints Jan. 21, 2006, from viperss9.
That's what I did.
It's right here on youtube - why argue about his capability to hit and sustain those notes when proof is available?
Didn't say they should be praised no matter what. Said I respect their willingness to be exposed to people like us.
Your opinion on how brilliantly is 'enough' is certainly your right to have, as are your technical standards for all the different styles of music. I am able to separate that from how a singer resonates w/the audience, and I think an audience cares about that more.
There are no prizes for pitch perfect. Otherwise, many singers past and present would have been lost to us. JMO.
@montiolivetti one can argue the "sharp" when chris sang "glare" but i would argue it was more a chop-where the emotion, lung compacity, and nerves cut in. either way it gave this renetion character. but lets agree to disagree. you aren't going to change my opinion-and i am not going to change yours.
@montiolivetti history dear watson-history- go look back (you will have to do some searching watson) at the original way this anthem was supposed to be sung. chris was spot on. other than his chopping which i said before. and the run at the end. (the run was wonderful-but it was drowned out by the crowds clapping and cheering.) like i said 96.5% perfect. and with feeling. this wasn't bad at all.
I did not see anything wrong with this performance....As always....Chris Daughtry nails it and anyone who thinks otherwise is hearing impaired!
The best i ever heard sing it! AWESOME!!!
@montiolivetti ooooohhhhhh gawd-keep with the insults. one throws them when they don't know what they are talking about and want to sound like they do. but my final word to you is "VIBRATO".
@GodBlessTonyDanza
definetley
@montiolivetti you talk a good game darlin-but you know crap-one-he started at the right pitch for him and the original way the song was meant to be sung. two-he didn't go sharp on the first phrase. three-he chopped the high notes-thats it. nerves and emotion-thru the whole song. heartfelt. he did a great job. 96 1/2 percent perfect.
And also lets remember, we have to look at the BIG picture here, DAUGHTRY Came off a Looooong tour then just got done in the studio with their new cd coming out! So Chris has been working on that for almost a year and singing hard in the studio last couple months, he is singing on a lil mini tour promoting the new CD. Just maybe his voice is a little tired and needs a lil rest ...hhhhmmm??
I think he did an awesome job & those of yuo who don't - why don't you get up there & try & do it better next time!
@clmco Maybe so. I've never heard of him before so I have no idea. All I'm saying is in this performance he couldn't do the high notes. But he wasn't as bad as everyone on twitter is saying. NOt great but certainly not as bad as some others I've seen.
I wouldn't say negative things here.. SSB is really a tough song to sing...but please watch David Cook's rendition of SSB in the 9/11 commemoration in Kansas City and judge by yourself!
MMM..... Look at those Marines. :)
CHRIS did an AMAZING job singing this, even though he was a lil off and he did chop a couple notes , But hey....cmon now, it was still filled with tons of emotion and he actually made you want to take your hat off and feel these words.
Am i tha only one that noticed that he said "free" really bad 2:10 lol
Chris did an amazing job! Him and Scotty were the best at singing the National Anthem!
@Incipit9 I too respect anyone who performs in public. But by putting themselves out there, these singers are promoting themselves as having the right to perform in front of millions, and it's right that they should be critiqued. They shouldn't be praised no matter how bad their performance, simply because they dared to do it. I think SSB should be performed brilliantly, and I think that technical virtuosity is exactly what performing in public is about, surely? Otherwise, anyone could do it.
If you defend this performance, you are wrong.
Never said a word about the quality of the top notes - just said he didn't sustain them - and also - that it ultimately didn't effect the affect of the song.
I don't take a pitch-pipe to NA songs that anyone else sings - that's beyond detail oriented for me - maybe most of them would fail your test. IDK, and IDC.
There are surely some versions I don't prefer, but technical virtuosity is hardly the point of the National Anthem...it's about the respect and the feeling. IMO.
That was present.
I'm proud of our country!!??
He seems not be able to sing that one note whenever he does the national anthem. It was awesome though
@clmco and seeing as we'd educating, I think you mean "dynamics" rather than "loudness." Also, "Quality" has nothing to do with pitch. You may be referring to tone, blend, focus or colour - which have nothing intrinsically to do with pitch, although they can affect it. Pitch is merely the frequency at which a note sounds, and your arguing that Daughtry doesn't go sharp by the end simply proves you're not trained to a sufficiently high level to interpret tonality correctly. And that's fine.
David Cook done the best version of National Anthem I've ever heard
@clmco oh dear this is getting too funny. My standard of sharp and pitch is weak? I'd love to hear you outline your "training" and musical experience. I would put mine down but I think you'd feel pretty silly. As for your definition of pitch as including perception, you're right, to an extent, but only when discussing relative pitch. Absolute pitch, within a key structure, leaves little or no room for discussion. Within the tonality in which Daughtry sets himself, he's rides high on the notes.
"byprceive" should have been "may perceive" .
it was game 6
To those like Kelli, below, try to be objective. I am amazed by some of Chris Daughtry's songs and his voice in those songs. This was just not a good Chris Daughtry performance or just not a good song for his type of voice, etc. I don't know how any one could objectively say that this was an example of good/great vocals.
Please shut up!! Can you sing? All people like you can do is criticize others. I bet even if people were to be paid to listen to you sing, no one would accept the torture.
It was okay until he tried for the higher notes. He just can't reach em. But when he was singing in his comfort zone it wasn't too bad
@StephenGBrown If you honestly think he isn't talented and that "getting emotional" while singing the Star Spangled Banner isn't an excuse, then there is clearly something wrong with you. He sang the national anthem before and it was flawless. The reason bad music is successful is because Drake, Lil Wayne, and the Young-Money no-talents. They are all terrible and their music is crap. Daughtry is an amazing singer. He sings great live and in the studio. He is great, young money is trash.
@clmco oh dear. I'm not sure of your singing credentials but from what you say, they're not good. He clearly DIDN'T start at the right pitch for him, otherwise he'd have been able to sing the top notes correctly. Not sure how finely-tuned your ears are, but he's a quarter-tone sharp by "dawn's early light" and a semi-tone by the end. The high notes aren't "chopped" (whatever that means). They're screeched. Look at his face and throat. Tight. Bad technique and fear.
Beautiful
@jaynine65 - how can you write that he "stays on pitch"? Take a pitch-pipe, play his starting note and keep checking it throughout. He goes sharp -fact. Opinions and comments are fine, but you lot just aren't using your ears. He's a good singer, but this was very bad singing! Trust me, I know. If you liked the character of it, fine - that's your prerogative. But ask any pro to listen to this and they'll grimace and say "oh dear." He had a bad night. No shame in that - we've all had them.
Let's see you do better, singing the most important song in your country's history, in front of thousands of people.
Oof, those top notes were a bit rough
1:35 through 1:40
what the heck was that supposed to be
@Incipit9 - you're missing the point. I've said in every post that I think he's a good singer. Also, I know he's done it fine before. But he was off last night, very off. That's the point. And I think he knew it, otherwise he wouldn't have tweeted about it afterwards. Take it down a tone and he'd have been fine. I'm not arguing about his "capability." I'm saying that last night it was bad. And it was! The "proof" is in the video. Those top notes are simply awful. How can you argue otherwise?
@clmco you can't prove how you think SSB was supposed to have been sung through TH-cam videos. You said "how it was originally meant to sound" which you could only prove by showing me a 1930s performance, preferably in front of the President. Go ahead. If you can find one, I think it'll be dignified and fitting, probably sung by a decent, trained voice with respect. Daughtry is a good singer, but he didn't prepare properly for this and messed it up. To deny that is blindness in the face of fact
Chris has an awesome style, vibe, sound and he sounded fantastic and nailed it! So Touching-Too Bad TX didnnt win!
@clmco I'm not insulting you, I'm assessing your level of experience based on your posts. Incorrect terminology, basic misunderstanding of techniques and an imperfect ear. And it's fine - we're not all experts on everything. Out of interest, what IS your musical training? I'm happy to keep teaching you; I'm patient and I AM an expert. Vibrato doesn't intrinsically affect pitch. The core and purity of the note should remain the same and the vibrato happens around it. The core here is sharp.
@clmco. Also - "the original way the song was meant to be sung." How in goodness name do you think you know that? As it was adopted by the US as its national anthem in 1931, I'm fairly sure it wasn't envisaged that it would be sung like this!!! I imagine it was supposed to be sung in a dignified way as befits a national anthem. I'm not sure quite why you're defending Daughtry so much; he's a great singer for his genre, but anyone who has a clue about decent singing knows this was BAD
@montiolivetti oh sir i do-but i don't need to prove anything. your standards of sharp and pitch is weak. here i will learn you something. Pitch as defined by MY musical backround is this- Pitch is defined by loudness, quality and is PERCEIVED (notice perceived monti) pitch of a sound is just an ears response to frequency. your ear and my ear by PRCEIVE the pitch of chris' voice differantly. my ear i would say is more trained than yours.
@montiolivetti and by whose standards are you using to say he was a quarter-tone sharp by dawn's early light??? and semi tone by the end??? again-nice talk bud-but you know nothing. the notes are chopped. meaning he didn't finish. probably due to breath-nerves-and emotion. he did it twice. i think you are too used to this anthem being sung with music accompanyment and the pop tarts that do all kinds of runs. instead of this pure raw performance. educate your ear!!
Dude I was hungover that they I could nearly stay awake and hold the rifle.
"LEAVE CHRIS DAUGHTRY ALONE!!"
@clmco you're right, nobody's going to "win" this one. But you've already proved my point by admitting he "chops" the notes. Nobody does that on purpose. He wanted to sing them longer and better, but he couldn't. To say it's an effect is an excuse made by a singer on a bad day. On the theme of sharpness, your ear's probably fine, but not brilliant. Listen to the tonality at the start and finish. It's higher at the end, he's ridden up. Come back and argue with me when YOU'RE a pro singer.
@cletiget1010 um, yes I do. More than you know. And there's nothing wrong with feeling a singer wasn't on his best form. To be blind to that, and simply to say that because he's a good singer he ALWAYS sings well, is bordering on fanaticism and shows no objectivity. He's a fine singer, I respect his voice, but in this case (a) he didn't take the right starting pitch, (b) he went sharp within the first phrase (c) he had no support for the high notes. He's a fine singer, but this was poor. Fact.
1:40 Look in the top right corner. ;P
@clmco it's not your fault, you're just not an expert at this and don't even know the right terminology, but you shouldn't pretend you know better. For a start, it's lung "capacity." Low lung capacity is the result of poor technique and bad breathing (i.e. he messed up). Your opinion is valid as to the quality, but don't argue he's singing in tune when he isn't. You probably did great in High School singing, but you don't have the level of experience of a pro singer so how can you pretend to?
If you are chosen to sing this..as they say."tough song to sing" and you are paid loads of dollars to do this, in front of a million audience for a big event..the least you can do is deliver a good if not the best rendition of it!! Otherwise they could have picked anyone from the street or what not! JMO!!
@MsDivineAZ
Many people can do a better job and would jump at the chance. His rendition wan't horrible, but as a professional musician, he should've done better. He's not some barroom karaoke singer, he makes millions off his craft. The Star-Spangled Banner is NOT a song you just throw your own personal spin on to "make it your own". It's not like there's a shortage of singers that want to sing it, so your rationale of "why don't you get up there and try" just can't apply here.
cardinals win
@montiolivetti this is getting tedious really bud-nice sounding game you play but you are clueless really. chris doesn't go sharp at the very end. he does a run. the high note he CHOPPED- which i already explained. so i am not going there again. and yea bud-it shows your ignorance. quality has alot to do with pitch. but to go into it to teach you would take to much space. what actually HEARS the pitch monti-hmmmm-the ear!!
HEHE JK JUST WANT FOR YOU TO FREAK OUT
@clmco - you clearly have no experience of good professional singing. That's fine, but you need to trust those who do. The performance is sharp by the "standards" of, um, PITCH. Which is an absolute; I don't make up those rules. As for "chopping" the notes, you're proving my point. He does that because he had no support, no breath, and no technique. They're too short for the phrase he's just sung, and they suck. Ergo, it's a bad performance. I'd say this was 50% good. That's not "spot on."
@montiolivetti are you kidding me? do you know aything about singing?
oh my gosh. He's talented, and I'm sure he was emotional, but that was simply a terrible rendition! Most people have off-days, and there's no shame in that. But, you have to rise to the big occasions, and his top range was really, really bad. If it were me (and I'm a professional singer) I'd have been very embarrassed...
ok, so he's definitely not very good with that song ! That was kind of painful to watch.
He is actually great at the song.. Watch the Chicago one
fail.
he did soooo bad!!!
Oh this is beyond terrible. Why did you mess up the most beautiful song in the world. Please don't ever attempt this again. Fail.
