This is how you know a comedian is a badass, when everyone trusts you to fill an entire sketch all on your improvisational skills, I have never seen anybody else do this.
that's true-ish. you can tell on some parts she was like actually sort of trying... it's hard to explain. I guess what I'm trying to say is that's what they want you to think, and if you heard that actor really trying to sing... it would sound like the average person trying to sing.
That's true, she does have a good voice, and actually, this rendition is sadly better then what some others have performed, ie. Rosanne Barr, who spit after singing it. 🤷♂️
She is talented at singing just like her mother, but I love that she’s done so well on her own that no one has to call her “Minnie Riperton’s daughter”!!

It's special. I think what makes it special is that it really is just one person doing one thing that happens to be hilarious. The closest I've seen to this on SNL is Gilda Radner doing her "Judy Miller Show" bit.
I reckon that straight face came courtesy of making substantial, sustained effort to control her breathing...she was able to f__k it up so bad because she's actually so good.
The ironic thing is that pop mostly favors uniqueness in simplicity rather than complicated excess nowadays (to detrimental excess sometimes, admittedly).
Wait this was BEFORE Fergie's?? I thought they were doing a skit based entirely on Fergie's and now I'm very amazed by the coincidence. This sounds like it so much esp. the beginning what the heck 😂
I think this was done after Christina. 😂😂😂😂😂 Because all those ridiculously-unnecessary over-the-top riffs and raffs and melasma shits was closer to Christina than Fergie IMO. 😂😂😂😂😂
these wannabes don't even know who minnie ripperton is. maya rudolph is a true singer and comedian. she hid her voice because she was afraid of all the feels associated with mom. it is so obvious her talent as a singer.
Bill Downey...Ren Ren Terrora’s right! Maya’s Rudolph’s mother was the late-great Minnie Riperton Here’s her most known song: “Loving You!” At the end of the studio version of the song, Minnie’s heard calling out to her little Maya at 3:23 in the song: “...Maya, Maya, Maya...Maya.” Must be bitter sweet for Maya to hear this song: th-cam.com/video/KhaUnHJjS8A/w-d-xo.html Here’s a live version of the song though th-cam.com/video/K7MqTrXwojk/w-d-xo.html
Stunningly accurate. So many 'singers' just loooove to put scales and cadenza on the end of every line to make it sound more dramatic and 'emotional'. Whitney Houston, 1991 - that's how it should be done.
I absolutely love this woman. She has a truly amazing voice and easily could have had a career as a singer like her mom. Her comedic timing and improvisational skills are mind boggling. I know she writes and acts here and there, but she should absolutely be on par with Wiig, Fey, Poehler, etc as true A list celebs.
Seriously checked the date. Because if this isn’t the best send up of Fergies performance, I don’t know what is?!! 😂🤣 I am dying! My stomach hurts, and have tears running down my eyes, from laughter! Best send up, of any female star who has done a super bowl, or any other big time U.S.A pre game national anthem tribute. This. Is. Gold! 😂🤣😆😁😂

She didn’t my man. It’s (partly) why they cut to the presenters occasionally inbetween verses/when she isn’t singing

Exactly! I saw her in an interview after that performance and thats exactly what she did. She said she channeled every singer who completely distroyed the song and put them all together!
This comment is so underrated
I'd LOVE to see the table read of this
Hannah Taylor oh my god yes
There was probably one note beyond "sing anthem" that's: be Maya Rudolph- kick ass comedienne.
"ok so we need one more sketch so mayas gonna sing the national anthem" "sounds gr8"
Dude she literally personified every single national anthem fail in human history.
That takes talent 🤣😂
The sad thing is this is becoming a common form of singing.
I loved your never in the field speech. M.
I call it unsinging
It has been for a long time. It's not new at all.
Nothing new but it's very true... Don't do it with the anthem tho 😭💔
One of my all-time favorite SNL sketches, and I have watched a ton!
Maya doing Oprah's 50th was good, too. From a UK lover of SNL
I like the real housewives of Disney sketch 😂😂

Anything Maya does is genius. U can b going though anything bad and watching her would make u laugh in a second. Shes so GREAT!
"Through the... Buh-niiight"
Wow. Didn't expect to get some Toni Braxton in there.
Tim 😭😭
I love everything about this sketch. She’s a genius.
Maya seriously has her mother’s voice!
Maya’s mother, Minnie Riperton, was a singer whose #1 hit was “Loving You”. Maya’s mother passed away in 1979 from cancer, when Maya was only 8 years old.
I thought she was 6 when that happened.
Her mother could hit whistle notes with ease. Talk about great genes
Oh my god....didn't know she was Minnie 's daughter
She hit that glass-shattering high note before Mariah was born. :)
Maya has Minnie's skill but the exact opposite of Minnie's vocal range (on the female spectrum).
Minnie Riperton's daughter ladies and gentlemen
I was waiting for someone to mention it. Thank you! She is a great singer, like her mom was. She is just acting.
bun bun Period
Minnie Riperton Came up with the Whistle Tone....NOT Mariah Carey
She looks like her mom
@@user-px9gy6pu2y darling she was neither the first nor the last. now stop pitting black women against one another, both have beautiful legacies beyond the whistle register.
When someone with a good voice tries to sound bad😂
If only the Home Run Derby hired Maya Rudolph 😊
Yet somehow still the shortest rendition of our National Anthem ever
😅 Right!?
I don’t understand why they are laughing at a perfect rendition of our national anthem
*Fergie WISHES she could sing this good*
1:32 my favourite part. I think I'll make it my alarm.
The backround is like:
