I love how he doesn't do those stupid extra trills and what-not's that singers usually do while singing this, and is STILL able to show off those amazing, amazing vocals of his
It just doesn't get any better than that. Josh Groban is a pleasure to listen to. So many "singers" tear America's song apart. Josh performs it with style and respect.
I'm not a singer by any means, but when I sing it as it's written, I'm gasping for breath at the end of the song. Must be nice to be so perfect that you sing the National Anthem perfectly every time and never once gasp for breath.
OMG! His voice is heavenly. This is a great performance of the national anthem! I haven't heard it this well in a long while. :) I love how he's wearing like... converse. xD
The lady crying at the end sums it all up right there. Simply beautiful and brings tears to my eyes to hear him sing. He is truly an INCREDIBLE singer.
Lovely! Nice simple version, no fancy "vocal shenanigans" like some singers try. Belongs in my top two National Anthem performances... the other being a version by the Steele Family Singers at the one MN Vikings game I've been to.
this is an absolute amazing job...he really puts his heart and soul into it...unlike so many i have seen where they are putting on a performance ya know? he really is just singing the national anthem with passion
I must say that the American national anthem is the the best national anthem I have heard and having Josh Gorban sing it like that should make you all proud. Well done thanks for uploading this video. Greetings Form Australia.
Beautiful... As I listened to all videos I knew I will not be dissapointed when i get to Josh Groban's video... This is live perfomance, not pre-recorded. Josh is an exceptional musician.
I thought he was going to make that same mistake that many other singers have made---singing FLIGHT instead of fight. He did a FANTASTIC job with the SS Banner!!! Way to go, Josh!!! He's like a male version of Celine Dion, he has that same ability to do a lot of vocal inflections and STILL manage to sound so powerful and beautiful.
got goosebumps . .at 1:40 . .im a big fan of him . try watching remeber when it rain . .its amazing . . im from philippines. . and from philippines. .we love you josh .
What I love about Josh Groban is that he such a regular guy - no airs and graces - just the boy next door. He wears simple stuff even on stage. Doesn't wear poncy cllothes like all the celebrities. He is a very unique guy and amazingly talented. This rendition of the American Anthem is the best in my opinion.
Totally agree w/you, a treasured gift to all of us, 2-27-23, his 42nd birthday, delighting us non-stop since age 17 & having his 2nd Broadway masterpiece starting tomorrow, 2-26-23, God's Speed & Blessing, Mr Josh Groban & to your very special parents & brother, Chris!!!
***JOSH*** There is no one else like you, and I feel blessed to know such an extraordinary person. I appreciate you, respect you, cherish you, look up to you. Love yaaaaaaaaa JOSH you are the best..:-))stars stars stars for this Video---elke
i just can't really explain in words how much he he inspires me, but he does. every morning before school i listen to like 3 of his songs... n press replay. luv u!!!!
My dad was positively allergic to people who 'did things' to the National Anthem, but I think he would have liked Josh Groban's very respectful and moving rendition of one of the most difficult anthems going, thanks to the range required to sing it. And I like it a very great deal, myself! But then, I have always thought Josh Groban was a major class act and a great talent.
A Rahim harleston The jacket is irrelevant. I think his tone is much more powerful for a song like this. Groban is good but it's kind of, basic in a way. Anthony has much more passion in his range; not to mention his vibrato is fucking great.
As a vocalist I prefer vocals over all other things. Tone, timber, and clarity for me excelled; therefore Josh Groban has it in my book. I respect your opinion tho.
I just got the honor to sing the National Anthem for the Red Sox for Maine Day. This is the version I am performing. This rendition is the best I have ever heard and touches my soul!
I've heard alot of artists doing the anthem but none do it like Josh Groban. He keeps it simple and sings with such passion. It's flawless. I could become an American just by listening to him lol!
Josh Groban is the best singer in the world...Nobody has ever done a better job singing our National Anthem. He is spectacular!!!!
This man's voice is so beautiful...he LITERALLY brings me to tears.
NOW you know what angels sound like.......
Whitney Houston and Josh Groban are right up there for the best National Anthem performances. Their voices are amazingly powerful.
Yup, can't think of any close to these two
Are you sure about that: th-cam.com/video/jrZGkPPxwTE/w-d-xo.html
Copying marc Anthony
Romes Republic and Smokey Robinson.....
Period
This is how our national anthem should be sung every single time. Absolutely incredible.
Totally Agree!
This is the best version of the Nation Anthem by a male recording artist that I have heard. Awesome Job!!
Every time Josh Groban sings, I get goosebumps!! Beautiful!
I love how he doesn't do those stupid extra trills and what-not's that singers usually do while singing this, and is STILL able to show off those amazing, amazing vocals of his
Totally agree!!!
Ditto. Love that he sings it straight!
He does all that! That's not the original notes! IDIOTS!!
I like it. But you are stupid!
Finally! Someone who can sing our national anthem WELL! Bravo, Josh.
This is my all time favorite performance of the national anthem. He truly has been blessed with the voice of an angel.
Marvin Gaye did it better than this !
if you thought this was great you should hear Whitney Houston
I always get goosebumps when Josh Groban sings
me too
Ditto.
Brings tears to my eyes. I LOVE this version. Bravo Josh!!!
I awwed at the lady's reaction at the end. It was so sweet. she looked so happy. this was a beautiful version of this awesome song.
I freaking love josh groban. He has got to be one of the most underrated artist out there. He was flawlesd his voice is so amazing and pure.
The man can sing..what a great version...my goosebumps have goosebumps
This mans voice is so superb! He can sing to me any day! Beautiful rendition of our National Anthem. Way to go, Josh!
It just doesn't get any better than that. Josh Groban is a pleasure to listen to. So many "singers" tear America's song apart. Josh performs it with style and respect.
Josh always gives me the chills, and usually makes me cry. He's so gifted.
He's so respectful. It's effortless for him. Great. My personal favorite for solo of the Nat'l Anthem!!!!
This is one of, if not the best performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" I've ever heard.
He's just amazing... No other words to describe him
The best version ever!love you josh such an angelic voice..
perfect...no male singer can sing this perfectly like the way he does...i love him forever...
I'm not a singer by any means, but when I sing it as it's written, I'm gasping for breath at the end of the song. Must be nice to be so perfect that you sing the National Anthem perfectly every time and never once gasp for breath.
OMG! His voice is heavenly. This is a great performance of the national anthem! I haven't heard it this well in a long while. :)
I love how he's wearing like... converse. xD

Chills all through the body when he sings, when he sings this particular song, its so powerful!!! Wonderful, talented and awesome singer!
The lady crying at the end sums it all up right there. Simply beautiful and brings tears to my eyes to hear him sing. He is truly an INCREDIBLE singer.
I love Josh Groban. :) His voice sounds like Christmas all the time.
Holy mother of... Something ooh my God that was beautiful. you know you have talent when you make the national anthem sound that awesome.
No auto tune. Just an amazing voice.
HE DOESN'T LIP SYNC!!!!! He is that great live. trust me. I have been to many concerts, and he was surely live and brilliant every time! : )
Sing it baby. This is the BEST male cover of the S.S.B. I've ever heard hands down thus far!
What, I'm not a Groban fan and this is easily in my top 5. I absolutely love The Star Spangled Banner, and this is the best male performance.
Lovely! Nice simple version, no fancy "vocal shenanigans" like some singers try. Belongs in my top two National Anthem performances... the other being a version by the Steele Family Singers at the one MN Vikings game I've been to.
& Whitney Houston!
After hearing so many people who can't sing butcher this great song it was nice to hear it done worthy of the song.Thanks for posting

I must say that the American national anthem is the the best national anthem I have heard and having Josh Gorban sing it like that should make you all proud. Well done thanks for uploading this video.
Greetings Form Australia.

he was so nervous before he started... and that's so very sweet
Beautiful... As I listened to all videos I knew I will not be dissapointed when i get to Josh Groban's video... This is live perfomance, not pre-recorded. Josh is an exceptional musician.
He never lip-syncs. As he said in an interview "I rather be imperfect".
first version to ever give me chills..of course by Josh Groban
I thought he was going to make that same mistake that many other singers have made---singing FLIGHT instead of fight. He did a FANTASTIC job with the SS Banner!!! Way to go, Josh!!! He's like a male version of Celine Dion, he has that same ability to do a lot of vocal inflections and STILL manage to sound so powerful and beautiful.

Wow, Josh is definitely one of the best male singers out there.

Puts a smile on my face every time. :)
No one rocks it like Josh Groban !!!
amazing... Best anthem i've heard sung
Beautiful ! Best male version of Star Spangled Banner !
Kevin Clements Best Male Version. Whitney Houston's version was ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!
No. I think Marc Anthony already has that.
+Shady Tyrell Mark Anthony has passion but throwing the jacket was cheesy and scripted. Josh's was vocally more demanding= Better.
A Rahim harleston The jacket is irrelevant. I think his tone is much more powerful for a song like this. Groban is good but it's kind of, basic in a way. Anthony has much more passion in his range; not to mention his vibrato is fucking great.

I just got the honor to sing the National Anthem for the Red Sox for Maine Day. This is the version I am performing. This rendition is the best I have ever heard and touches my soul!
Larry Gowell for the state of Maine?
I love you josh groban i'm you're number 1 fan
It's truly what angels sound like when josh sings
I've heard alot of artists doing the anthem but none do it like Josh Groban. He keeps it simple and sings with such passion. It's flawless. I could become an American just by listening to him lol!
amazing. Best version I have ever heard.
Coconut Whiteny Houston rendition is amazing too !
I've heard a lot of versions of this song, but his is the best.
This is a great performance. My mentor and inspiration!
Dude's a beast... great performance.
For some reason, I like this way better than Whitney Houston's 😍😍😍😍
Wow! Most heartfelt rendition... The best version forever...
