Aaron Tveit sings the National Anthem at Broadway softball league opening day

[@ameliapond8802]

His voice is flawless. Truly. I love this man so much. He has so much talent and seems like a friendly, down-to-earth kind of guy. I love him in Les Miserables and Graceland.

[@karabarkman5685]

I really appreciate that he didn't put in vocal riffs. It sounds so much better sang like this... how it's SUPPOSED to be sung...plus the fact that it's Aaron just makes it more amazing!

[@CraftsResourceful]

You can tell a lot about the character of a singer by how they sing the National Anthem. The humility from such a talented man is beyond me.

[@marleygreen3866]

i just... i just love him so much. *breaks down into tears until i am a pile of nothing but broken dreams and aaron tveit memories*

[@breanabrown9167]

See you don't need all those riffs to sing the national anthem well he made it nice and simple and it was still amazing love you Aaron😄😍

[@krisushi1]

The best version of the American National Anthem that I've ever heard & believe me that says alot coming from an Australian! Aaron, your voice is magic. Never thought I'd ever compliment this item but look what you've gone & done now!

[@TheOudmasterWJ]

God bless America !!

[@franchescacarrasco6351]

What a great imterpretation!! this fellow is excellent!!

[@krisushi1]

Franchesca Carrasco You probably wouldn't recognize him but he played 'Enjolras', the leader of the Revolutionaries in 'Les Miserables' (the movie) except that they had him in a blonde curly wig. He's well known more so in theatre but is still a main character in the US made TV Series 'Graceland'. You are so lucky to have talent like this in America. I have a playlist on my KZbin channel under his name if you ever want to see some of his true brilliance.

[@tamtam1296]

Oh my he is just beyond amazing! No one can ever amount to him. And he sang it regularly with no bedazzlements or anything. That just shows how great he is!!

[@gabbrielviera]

THAT VOICEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AARON, LOVE U!!!!!!!! ♥

[@hannahcoomer6473]

I love that he keeps it simple and doesn't change it up

[@angrybutterflys]

Around 0:40 the man in the back removes his hat and places it over his heart. Awesome.

[@luv4joejonas]

So classic and beautiful! His little "play ball" thing at the end is adorable.

[@cards0486]

Now THAT is how to sing the National Anthem. He didn't jazz it up, or act like he was auditioning for a Vegas show. Marvelous!!! Love the guy!!

[@morganalewis4455]

Eargasm ladies and gentlemen. I just had an eargasm.

[@InfiniteRockstar]

I could listen to this my whole life...

[@bumblebeee68]

This is the best version I have ever heard

[@tennislova33]

These comments from people who love this song who aren't even American absolutely melt my heart. This is why I'm proud to be a citizen of America. Our national anthem is so beautiful and so is our country. As well as the gorgeous man singing it ;)

[@Mellyjh]

Oh Aaron... Perfection as always!

[@raspberryluvr]

God bless America. And Aaron Tveit.

[@cinyihu694]

I'm not an American, but I think the American national anthem is so beautiful just because of him

[@milankucera1148]

Yep, a very good performance. Just a note: your national anthem is one of the most difficult pieces to sing, and sing good at that, most of all because of its range of one and a half octaves. Even experienced and trained singers have only about two or three notes from which they can sing it if they want their voice not to break.

[@yosoyconsuela]

I've always thought it was rather stupid to have the national anthem be this song that's so difficult for most people to sing even halfway decently. That was even before I was aware of the lyrics about slavery in the third stanza.

[@alexratt9490]

Milan Kucera what are you talking about? Real trained singers can sing it no problem.

[@theaterrox0103]

Oml he is so amazing see how he just effortlessly belts out those notes I've died and gone to heaven

[@thierrybrown2417]

oh Aaron your voice is so amazing :)

[@emiliamatteucci3257]

Oh my God! No one will never sing it that good!!

[@bizzibaby]

Is no one else completely charmed by the fact that broadway has a softball league?

[@michaelkilley9962]

Monday: Sing American National Anthem Tuesday: Lead French Revolution Wednesday: Become a Cop

[@jasemaya15]

very beautiful voice by very beautiful guy!

[@imabritishfezz]

I like how he sang it so simply and nice. (:

[@AudreyGolightly13]

he even said "play ball!" at the end, away from the mic! omg

[@abialston8476]

his voice is freaking amazing

[@08171985]

Makes me proud to be an American.

[@arthurkirkland5852]

Broadway has a softball league? Is that where all of those pics of him came from? xD

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

We’ll kind of, the Broadway shows all play softball up against each other in the summer. It’s been a tradition since the 1950’s

[@AnimeisLife4evr]

I haven't ever heard anyone sing it that good

[@emilie9281]

I love the dude that´s just standing there in the background mesmerized by Aaron´s voice, and when it finishes, he´s just like "AHEM, umm, let´s go play some ball.. I wasn´t staring.... I wasn´t."

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I'd have a hard time focusing on playing softball if I had just heard Aaron hot freaking sexy Tveit sing one of the world's most beautiful songs ever.

[@emelyperez7926]

Beautiful 😍

[@iChristinaBeanah]

I am in love with him :)

[@annacori4261]

oh my god he is an angel....

[@Sarajevo1224]

I met him! Wonderful job, as always!

[@allisonmackenzie2150]

He's amazing.

[@shan-ik7qt]

I LOVE HIM OMG

[@hogwartslost54]

... God, I freakin love him!!

[@cittatresnati8232]

for some reason I always come back to this video...

[@hurleyan]

Please note that he actually sang the national anthem in 3/4 time, and didn't add any ridiculous riffs or unnecessary random stuff to that...

[@ambercrook6869]

Omg his voice.

[@jenniferlee9577]

the catch me shirt from this catch me if you can days :))

[@PerkyTurkeyBaby]

It's normal for people to clap and whistle after the National Anthem in the states

[@bUrgerpatti]

I love how he doesn't try to overdo it like everyone else.

[@puppyx230]

Reminds me of his play "Catch me if you can"

[@CorinthianScore]

Thank God. Finally, somebody who doesn't feel the need to jazz up The Star Spangled Banner with runs out the wazoo and every kind of vocal trick there ever was. People can learn from Aaron Tveit.

[@sophiemarples703]

i know the american national anthem better than i know my own now thanks to this! the fan of AT in me is proud but... should probably learn my own....

[@jlth6]

LOL the guy in the back playing catch and then realizing that the star spangled banner was goin on... nice

[@reader1001]

I suddenly feel very patriotic. He has such a beautiful voice :)

[@bluebunnyicecreamify]

Personally I like that response. "He's overrated" definitely needs a "you're overrated". For just about any subject.

[@Sonkist]

Honestly I was worried about him playing Enjorlas (do you hear the people sing is one of my favorite songs). Even after I loved his next to normal performance, his voice just didn't fit for me. But this was amazing. I also loved that he just sang the anthem for what it was an didn't try to show off. Singing a national anthem isn't about showcasing your voice. He did a great job!

[@alyssarybinski5570]

We usually clap and cheer when it is over.

[@JessySynth]

Amazing. He move me.

[@MamaMiaBaby93]

innn looooooooooveeeeee

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Thursday: Become the manifestation of his mom's hallucinations and source of depression. Friday: Become sexy HIV positive rock star who won't pay rent.

[@Pichipichiprincess]

I wonder how they chose who would sing the anthem out of all of these broadway singers :)

[@itmekenna3354]

Well Aaron, you and I sounded dang good harmonizing

[@TheOlympicBanana]

I'm not sure what was better, his singing, or those wonderful tight pants he was sporting

[@DarrensGirl1958]

Fantastic. *o*

[@wampi009]

I agree!

[@inanotherlife1]

That voice, that face, that hair, sigh

[@KateLions397]

Me too! Although I love my town and Italy...

[@raajitha45]

Love him in gossip girl

[@TheEllaLian]

YES

[@phantomdaae1981]

Hehe, I'm american, but this is the first time I've found this song to be emotional and moving.

[@hannahelizabeth7680]

does anyone else notice the people playing baseball in the background?

[@aarizona22]

that's so hot ngl

[@OboeHero004]

Um...I don't know what video you're watching because there's nothing nasal about his voice thank you.

[@SugarFairytale]

I have a question that is a little out of place, with everyone swooning over Aaron (not that I blame you :). I'm not American, but I'd like to know what do you usually do after the National Anthem. Like, do you clap or not? In my country, children are taught not to clap after the anthem and people really adhere to this rule. So, what's it like in America? Ah, it's really a beautiful song, by the way.

[@birdyjo]

Is it only a coincidence that he wears a shirt with "catch me" on it? Because I actually laughed at this :) I have no clue when it comes to baseball, so please don't blame me :D

[@jenniferlee9577]

It’s the broadway softball league and each cast plays as a team, it says catch me bc he was part of the catch me if you can cast back then!

[@germandarling123]

Wow

[@avenisk]

Aaron Tviet??? What?? I think Enjolras!!!!

[@punkrose6724]

lucky!

[@ohyeahtomfelton]

I'll catch you ;)

[@american2383]

Maybe the people playing baseball don't like Aaron's voice and are hoping he will finish up soon. Yes...it's possible that there are intelligent, non-hating, fun-loving people out there in the world who prefer the male voice that didn't graduate from the "popping nasal boys choir".

[@93EmilyyC]

I've watched this 3 times and i'm not even American..

[@NIKEsweet476]

yesssss, Ray Bans

[@shesboleyn]

how can the people behind him keep playing baseball WHILE AARON TVEIT IS SINGING

[@thechocoholicpanda]

Enjolras would be prettu embarased if someone reminded him that he supported another country besides france

[@TheLaurenJC]

HI. I LOVE YOU. OKAY. :D

[@crazyginger24]

can he sing the national anthem at everything?

[@bonitagyalz]

He makes me want to become American

[@jonaford]

Babe 😍😍😍😍

[@CherryBlossom3x3]

you don't need to be an american to love Aaron

[@allonsies]

i think im dead

[@neshannockfez]

haha, take the glasses off Aaron baby.

[@DoNotResusikate]

ugh Aaron i just wanna have your babies.....

[@marisolvaldez7173]

Really. There's nothing he can't sing. Or Do.

[@MissMickey10192]

I think I might be pregnant now...

[@MsActressModel]

Wow! Wow! Very Hot!!!!!!!!

[@trekkie102]

@neshannockfez I think he just wishes he was Elton John. :P

[@RyanReta97]

*patriotic eargasm* And I'm not even American

[@Krisilia]

Marry me...

[@134lalaland]

Go watch Graceland and Les Miserables and then come tell me he's still overrated because he's fanfuckingtastic.

[@jackrigley6893]

Fergie, take notes

[@purplebutterflies16]

I usually love Aaron and his voice is as amazing as normal, but I just don't like his phrasing for this rendition of the national anthem.

[@castilda311]

Aside from Whitney Houston, no one else has sung this with the phrasing as written. Bravo Aaron!

[@raajitha45]

He's overrated
