Chris Stapleton Sings the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII | Reaction

[@brittywren2877]

Whitney Houston and Chris Stapleton those are the standards we hold for the anthem. Bc bebe they brought it. Nothing was left. Ate every single last crumb. The ants don't even have no work to do. 🎉 Amen

[@krisschobelock4973]

Yep but let's add Reba !! She was awesome this year!!!

[@bobbydelamar606]

​@krisschobelock4973 I love Reba Mcentire's version. But nothing touches Chris Stapleton or Whitney Houston.

[@YouTubeBinging]

​@krisschobelock4973 you're joking right? She did perform better than I expected. She did less jaw movements than usual, but to put her in the prerecorded Whitney version and Stapleton atmosphere is ridiculous.

❤❤❤

[@bsmith8943]

To me. This was the greatest National Anthem. Im 50 and ive been around. Lol

[@MistMi73]

Hands down... the best National Anthem ever. Amazing. Flawless.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

Agreed.

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

He is the best.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Sadly - Whitney's was recorded in a studio. Chris sang it live and from his heart. Enough to make a grown man cry!!

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Very true means nothing lol she did it again also live sung it the same way. But yeah for me this is second and also the very best that I've ever heard from a man

[@PappaPurps79]

Whitney’s was live in the stadium, but the tv coverage was prerecorded in the studio.

[@andreadeamon6419]

@PappaPurps79 actually hers was recorded in a studio and she lip synced for the game

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

The BEST RENDITION EVER!!!

[@allisonpayne1655]

You know what I loved so much about it? Me and you both know he could've taken it to a whole other level! He could have come through louder and stronger than most in all the typical places in that song but he didn't. He didn't take away from the song by going too much with it , but he sure didn't slack off either. It was just perfect. It doesn't matter what he's singing it stabs me right in the soul lol

[@ericwilliams5126]

Can make a 40 year old man tear up every time.

[@michaelphipps8647]

By far the greatest live performance of our National Anthem EVER!!!! Way to go Chris!!!

[@bmack2244]

BEST ONE EVER BESIDES/WITH WHITNEY. The guitar in this is so underrated. So clean and matches exactly how he sang it. Guitar (somehow) made this even better

[@lampiz2008]

That last section I literally YELLED out in my room; -"That's CHURCH! Bring us to CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!" hahaha

[@susandickerman4939]

Not really a country fan. But.... absolutely flawless. Gorgeous ❤

[@dianel222]

He country-fried that anthem!💜💜

[@EdwinSemidey]

The man took us to church

[@thadofalltrades]

I loved how simple, yet profound it was

[@sheilasisk7550]

We needed that at that time , too. It was all most like it brought peace back to us all

[@dianeritthaler7792]

He had players tearing up😢

[@rondaschafer2656]

I love how he left a part of his soul with this rendition.

[@gabrielerego6906]

All the american🇺🇸 people can be proud of Chris Stapleton 👏 What a great National Anthem... Give goosebumps 😍 Great Reaction too 👏🙏

[@janieyoung8759]

By your reaction I think you should be singing. Btw great reaction and props to Chris for the best National Anthem rendition ever!

[@TheSakebomb1]

Chris took us to church. Period.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

This is my favorite Star Spangled banner performance ever.

[@bobbydelamar606]

No one beats Chris Stapleton and Whitney Houston. 🇺🇸

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Yessir I agree with u BUT to Chris’ credit….Whitney sang over a prerecorded cover therefore Chris has the best LIVE performance of the National Anthem ever 😉

[@gwynethzen77]

Chills! Flawless!! Yes, sir!!!

[@scottkenzig5144]

Wow 👌. God bless you America 🇺🇸 🙏. The best singer of all time with out a doubt. Can't wait for the day he comes down under 👌🫶

[@cherylb309]

Chris Stapleton killed the National Anthem at the Superbowl! 🔥🌟

[@iamhere4now980]

Please people so comparing Chris to Wintey, cause CHRIS TOPS ALL PERFORMANCES!!

[@angelas.g.9848]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@Mikki44]

Chris is AMAZING! Thanks for this reaction. ❤

[@samrichards9015]

STUNNING what year was this , amazing ,chills and I'm not even American ..nailed it ..sooo smooth

[@angelamiller6275]

2023 Superbowl.

[@krw73]

His voice sounds like America

[@Lonniebird]

This was a beautiful version for sure, wow!

[@TennManYT]

Bro I can't lie the first time I heard him sing this I cried my eyes out! Also, wanted to let you know you have some great reactions bro and I think you should keep doing what you do and God bless 🙌🏼💯

[@karenedwards6713]

Chris Stapleton and Jonathan Antoine sing completely different types of music, but they both could sing the phone book and it would sound great. Now I hope you want to look up who Jonathan Antonie is and listen to him. He was just a kid who blew Britian's got Talent away. A teen who is overweight, just like myself and his story they play reminds me of my son, who walks onto the stage scared to death, wearing a faded Jimi Hendrix T-shirt and sounds like a Angel. He showed Simon and the World to not judge a book by its cover and i just fell for him and his story. I don't listen to the type of music he sings in my daily life, but he just touches my heart!! Check him out if you have never seen him. The title is Jonathan and Charlotte on Britian's got Talent. Do yourself a favor and let your ears get blessed listening to this young man.

[@jaunessajackson6322]

“Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.” 🇺🇸 He is a bad dude. ❤

[@Charli1996]

I came & found your channel through your Taylor journey, but I grew up on country music & Chris Stapleton’s one of my all-time favorite artist🥰

[@rebeccaanderson8305]

If Chris Stapleton and Jelly Roll had a child, his name would be Teddy Swims.

[@elizabethshook9691]

I love your facial expressions when you hear great music! It is infectious, keep being a great human 😊

[@perspicaciousd]

Whitney and Chris, best National Anthem performances of all time, by far

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Agreed

[@TheChristOfRockNRoll]

It's public knowledge though Whitney's iconic performance was sung over a recording meaning it was not live. Ricky Minor who was the musical director and arranger of Whitney's version confirmed this. Chris Stapleton's version is great but how do you beat a version recorded in the studio with the luxury of multiple takes and studio editing and production especially sung by someone like Whitney?

[@ThatSingerReactions]

To be fair she sung it again and it was done the same way lol it's Whitney let's not discredit her but I do see what u saying

[@vickypunzalan3755]

This is the best version! Better than Whitney’s!

[@ritchiewillard9472]

This is what we call country soul. Chris sang that song. I give him a 100 out of 10

[@donnakushinsky2101]

I remember your reactions to Chris previously and how much you love his vocal talent. True Chris fan as many of us are!!! Check out Higher on his new album. Amazing vocals. Thanks for reaction ❤

[@HappyRamblingCamper]

Chris took it to church…. No voice like his!!

[@stevestauff2220]

Yeah his just made you feel more

[@paulcanbefoundhere]

"you better cry" Classic.

[@karenwalsh1143]

Your the best! I love your enthusiasm for Chris Stapleton ❤

[@bigkw1568]

Outstanding... He has some new music out

[@johnnycincoguitar]

I would not want to be the singer that has to follow this version in 2024.

[@MrSmithGuy]

Whitney’s was the big Disney production version of the National Anthem, Chris’ is the Soul of America version and for me, that puts Chris at No1.

[@alextnasty]

Facts.

[@donnaewe3692]

He understood the assignment ❤️‍🔥🤣

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

Hi Nick, Chris Stapleton is so cool, you don't know how he gonna sang a song...Peace🔥🤙☝️😌

[@andibay3736]

I like the 🎶mmmmmm 🎶 you added at the end! That would’ve been excellent had Chris done that!

[@vivianidelacerda9708]

Your voice is lovely, man 🎉

[@Dudewires]

Great voice by the way “soulful”

[@glennburch1081]

I agree with your comparison between Whitney and Chris's performance of the National Anthem. When you can make grown men cry........... brother, you have somthing going on. For those of you who may not have been moved by this version of the national anthem......... check for a pulse. Over the top reaction, TY.

[@julie-annepoole6859]

Check out the title track Higher off his new album, his vocals are fantastic. No live performance yet, but he said he wrote it 22 years ago and he’s been a bit afraid to sing it, that it’s him on a good day. I’m a fan but I was blown away, know you will be too

[@jeffp5197]

The studio version is phenomenal. Can you imagine the live version will be spectacular.

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

[@tinawhite8835]

Love Chris Stapleton! He's only made one music video, and was very particular about how it was done. If you get a chance to check it out, it's 'Fire Away'. He chose the actors and the 'cause' he wanted to support. It's incredibly moving.

[@FLArmyGuy]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@amanibey1391]

ThatSingerReactions: you are awesome! Marvin Gaye’s rendition was number one until Chris Stapleton’s version. Thus, Stapleton is now number 1, Marvin Gaye’s 2, and Whitney is now number 3. Please listen to Marvin Gaye’s 1983 national anthem version. Keep up the great work

[@selinayates4826]

HIGHER his new song!!!! You will be covering it for sure and……. I’m here for it

[@robinbeerman4726]

Yep.

[@vmlksm9]

Whitney #1 Chris #2 ❤ 2 Is an honorable spot because Whitney set the bar so high

[@67DARKMATTER]

Chris is #1 in live performance Whitney is #1 in pre recorded lip sync.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

He's been hired by the NFL❤

[@robertmorano2372]

Prince is definately on the list, but this version is what we need as a nation.

[@ivxample]

Marvin's anthem is top 3 for mine

[@nickcaputo3406]

😂😂great reaction 🤟

[@michaelphipps8647]

Whitney didn't sing it live. Chris did!!! No comparison!!!

[@megandelynn6114]

She did sing it live, which they recorded. But then they played that at Game time in case anything went wrong, which she was really not ok with. They do that for most of the halftime shows as well sadly

[@TheChristOfRockNRoll]

@@megandelynn6114 That's not what singing live means. Live means on the spot and if something goes wrong nothing and nobody will save you or having the luxury of redoing the song afresh. One shot only.

[@vmlksm9]

If singing live means better then that means every national anthem sung in the 21st century is better than Whitney’s & we know that’s not true 😂 Whitney set the standard & will always be the standard.

[@headache1959]

Al Green and Meatloaf have great renditions too!

[@Dudewires]

Great review I had to give you a thumbs up halfway in. Can’t say anything more about CS

[@michellejackson6679]

Have to say.. Whitney was the best ever.. I thought..till Chris blew me away.. However... I just heard today that Reba will be singing the National Anthem this year.. I love me some Reba!!! Awesomeness everywhere.!!!

[@FeistyWildHeart]

If you like him he has also done several guest spots on other people's songs including Pink and Carly Pearce

[@kennethAmos8929]

There is Whitney, and Now there’s Chris 😃

[@sugarkane33]

Whitney's was recrded...Stapleton is live...His rendition better than all

[@1STlilone]

Have you heard God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood?

[@kelvinalexander4353]

It wasn't the Super Bowl friend. It was the NCAA National Football Championship game.🙏🏾

[@1perfectpitch]

Consider this. Whitney didn't sing it live. She lip synched to a studio recording. End of discussion.

[@krw73]

Exactly. Lip syncing doesn't count

[@andreadeamon6419]

Yep - Chris blew hers right out of the water

[@angelamiller6275]

EXACTLY!

[@jennyd2624]

You need to know what you're talking about. Before you start talking cause you are incorrect. That was the only to date live national Anthem ever Performed at the Super Bowl get your facts straight.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

FACTS!!!!!!!

[@samf.6298]

Whitney has always been the standard bearer for our great national anthem but damn...Chris just made it extremely interesting!! My humble opinion, they have such different sounds you can honestly argue they're equally as good 😏

[@Atochabsh]

not for everyone. her version was banned from youth tournaments (10 pin bowling) in our area due to her drug use.

[@muchomacho9961]

So you saw my Chiefs win a Super Bowl and Chris Stapleton too? That’s a lot of bang for your buck.

[@bluesguy6380]

Don't forget Marvin Gayes version.

[@shawntatom5613]

Please listen to Chris' live version of Willie Nelson's "You Were Always On My Mind" from last month. You're gonna love it.

[@thomniced]

No. These comments are wrong about Whitney. She DID NOT lip sync. She sang it live to the people in the stadium. What the people watching tv or now the internet hear is in fact a recorded version. This version from Chris is #1 no question.

[@crystallynnesmilezz7682]

His vibrato reminds me of Elvis

[@richbrown5209]

Why are people KNEELING during the national anthem we love our country... STAND STRONG 45/47

[@randiroswell1656]

Please listen to the TESKEY BROTHERS -DONNIE HATHAWAY VERSION OF JEALOUS GUY LIVE IN 2019! MUST LISTEN ...

[@cpb5128]

How have you not done a reaction to Stan walkers I am yet???

[@erikamitchell8502]

As a non American I always thought the end was “ the land of the free because of the brave” I’m a total twit 😅 I often miss hear lyrics though and wear hearing aids but still that’s a bad one.

[@shambramulder4082]

Did you hear Fantasia sing at the College Football Championship game on Sunday?

[@Somber7]

I'm not going to rank one against the other but will say Whitney has the best female vocals while Stapleton has the best male vocals for our anthem. A person can't pit one against the other because they are so different like bottomless realms from the same heart but different corners.

[@MidwestFarmToys]

This is better than Whitney Houston for me by about 8 miles

[@franciscogamalielcruzgomez7345]

Reacciona por favor a Jazmine Sullivan "lift every voice".

[@joycarlson2492]

Chris tore The Star Spangled Banner A new one by singing it simply and yet soulfully. For a different take, listen to Sandi Patty's version. She made Whitney Houston look like an amateur.

[@kristenboren7853]

you NEVER pause the anthem sweetheart!

[@gonzjr44]

You’ve never seen Marvin Gaye sing it have you

[@mikex1463]

I feel sorry for any man whose job is to do the anthem after Chris's performance. Hard act to follow!

[@scottkenzig5144]

I want to hear you sing your national anthem 👌please.

[@michellejackson6679]

Did I just see in the comments here that Whitney's version was prerecorded and she was lipsyncing... Hell no.. pls tell me that is not true.. hoping it's just a hater out there. Whitney singing it in 1993 I think.. was the best till Chris in 2023. 30 yrs.. However, Chris might go down too... lol.. cause Miss Reba is doing it this year.

[@lilibethadon1589]

React to Ariana Grande singing National Anthem

[@janicesimmons5272]

Can’t see the video!

[@kawrss31]

damn dude....u should try it 1 time. you can hit and sustain and vib ur cords great! why dont u sing?
