Chris Stapleton Super Bowl National Anthem | Reaction

[@denniesaunders886]

8 grammys? yes he won them without lip syncing, writing his own music, playing his guitar, and not dancing around half naked....pure talent

[@ella-vm6vf]

Yes he does, he is a gem.

[@teresaanderson2136]

Perfectly said!!❤️

[@echibukuaz7063]

Well said! Put him in his place and teach him a lesson.

[@lampiz2008]

You literally said what was said inside my head LoL

[@marilynsmith8632]

Also he’s written songs for tons of Country Artist and Pink and other pop stars.

Thanks for explaining the colors.

[@elizabethjackson583]

Hearing the national anthem always give me chills. Proud to be an American

[@6panzer]

The National Anthem is a love song to the country that I fought for twice. Choke up any time that I try to sing it. All I can do is stand at attention. Go Stapleton! Go Dawgs!

[@steventaylor6070]

I feel pride and honor in my country, it’s people, and our great soldiers who will give their lives for the least of us. Also the families of the soldiers who may not fight but they give us their love ones. I love America!!!!!

[@Melly01]

The first time the national anthem meant something to me, more than a song I sang in school, was when I traveled overseas as a very young Air Force wife. There was a lot of hatred for Americans where we were at that time. People threw bricks at our car as we drove on base, we were made fun of on their tv talk shows and the first time we left the base, there was a demonstration in a park and locals had poured red paint all over our flag and were burning it. You have no idea how patriotic you are until you witness something like that. It was really unsettling for me and the next day, when they played the national anthem through the loudspeakers on base, as they did every day, I FELT it. I felt it hard. The pride and the protection for what it symbolizes. I have flashbacks to the moment that I actually got it when I hear our national anthem now. I bawled when I heard Chris sing it, because I'm a huge fan and to me, he symbolizes some of the very best in America and he brought the song the honor and respect it deserves. I hope you have an opportunity to have that moment, the one where something clicks and you just get it. ❤️

[@davidkinney6759]

Wow!!! That's incredible sorry you had to go thru that. I'm not sure I could take that it would be hard to witness that.

[@susanconstable2113]

I’m 53 and to this day when I hear it I get that weird feeling in my chest and it always nearly brings me to tears. I’m so proud to be an American. I’m so proud of the people who serve our country to give us the freedoms we have and man I love that flag!

[@tammyparsons5656]

Our brothers and sisters in the armed forces, protecting us with their lives, is what makes me have the feels for our national anthem. It's just respect for them.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thecatalist9117]

I have and had many of my family members serve in foreign wars, also a great many friends including my boyfriend of 13 years. The National Anthem holds a very Special place in my ❤. And Chris Stapleton took us all to Church when he sang our National Anthem

[@michellejackson6679]

the man has soul in his voice... Can't take that away

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

“The Star Spangled Banner As You’ve Never Heard It Before”… you’ll have a better understanding of why “kneeling” is such a hot topic. Chris Stapleton just reached out and touched the heart, and gut punched the soul of everyone!

[@chrisstapleton6551]

hello, how are you doing,how long have you been a fan of mine?

[@dberd9149]

He has SOUL! Touches you deeply! God given talent!

[@itsallgood4093]

Whitney sang it with power and made us proud, Chris dang it with soul and made us proud. Both are great!

[@rhondaherdman7338]

Patriotism can't be taught it can only be felt. If you've lost a loved one who served in the military for your grateful to those who did die to keep our freedom. Then it will become more than just a song to you

[@ltodd79]

Yeah. I'm stirred when I hear the Star Spangled Banner well performed. But I also know the story behind the song, which lends a lot of meaning. I usually don't like a lot of vocal embellishment because the singer is not capturing the emotion of the song, but trying to make a mark on something we are all familiar with. This rendition by Stapleton has set a new marker (IMHO) because of his authenticity and "Americaness." He's moving the music forward to a new era.

[@blindbeautyblindgirlmagic3166]

I loved it, he made it his own, as of right now, this is my favorite rendition

[@chrisstapleton6551]

hello, how are you doing how long have you been a fan of mine

[@blindbeautyblindgirlmagic3166]

@@chrisstapleton6551 I may be blind but I’m not dumb lol I know this is not the real Chris but you have a good day sir

[@marylingerfelt6537]

It's like comparing apples and oranges. Whitney's version was so bright and bubbly and full of joy, and Chris' version was so down to earth and bluesy, like he was singing it on the back porch of some Mississippi farm house. The only thing the two of them have in common is that they both killed it, AND made it look effortless, which of course is the mark of the true "one percenters."

[@trumphatesyou]

He sang it live though. Whitney lip sang.

[@blossom_n_gin]

The difference was that Whitney's was pre-recorded.

[@silverenigma7729]

A lot of people don't realize Chris Stapleton has written many songs for major artist's hits, not to mention his own music.

[@MizCriz46]

His first 10 or so years in Nashville, he was a songwriter only, not a recording artist. He had something like 125 cuts from all kinds of singers. Many of them ended up very high, if not at the very top of the charts. Everyone in the Nashville music community knew who he was before the rest of us got to hear his voice.

[@kimberlyellis7347]

Chris had the most beautiful, patriotic, emotional and uniting performance of all time! My favorite used to be Whitney Houston’s and chris in my opinion blew her away. The colors signify their rank-branch it’s called the color guard! ❤

[@reneeharrison1924]

I cry because when I close my eyes I can see other countries ppl and not having the freedom we have!!! I am so lucky to have been born in the USA!!!

[@anncallari7063]

The colors of staff on the aircraft carrier are designated to each job each person has. That’s what the colors are for. They are functional. This performance was more than just a Super Bowl! The Super Bowl is trivial compared to the patriotism and meaning of the anthem. It’s respect for all our soldiers who fought and died and also those who are currently serving. This is a lot bigger than a game that’s played by citizens who are lucky to be able to play in a country that gives them that freedom.Chris Stapleton obviously feels it in that emotional performance. God bless him, God bless our armed forces and God bless America !

[@JoseSanchez-yv1ve]

let the Anthem play without talking and take your hat off! This speaks for all of us no matter who sings it. Everyone is looking for unity and it is in the Anthem!!!!!

[@SparkimusPrime]

I teared up, and I’m not moved by the anthem. His voice is just pure emotion. I will say, this is the most American this song has ever sounded.

[@Adliesmom1]

Same. I've NEVER felt moved or emotional when the national anthem was performed, but this man gave me goosebumps from head to toe. SO beautiful!!

[@patriciadavis1393]

This is my 2nd time hearing this end just when he starts singing I have push pumps from the top of my head to my toes and as I say I am Canadian and It's the American national anthem but I felt it

[@MSMAMA_SBA]

Chris Stapleton's voice evokes emotion!! The mark of a 1 in a million talent!! Also, may I suggest The Star Spangled Banner as You Never Heard It Before. It's phenomenal!! #LEGENDARY !!! 💯💗💗💗 #GODBLESSAMERICA !!! ❤🙏❤🕊❤🇱🇷❤🗽❤

[@kathyyoung9539]

Proud of my Country. And my Uncle Sonny who fought in the Battle of Bulge.

[@staceym7940]

Chris makes you feel every word. Passion, heart, and soul made us all proud to be an American!!! Whitney was lip syncing it was pre recorded in studio she was technically flawless but Chris made me cry so to me no contest.

[@homelesskidsrescuenetwork4746]

The song was written during the last battle when soldiers were trying to get us freedom from the king of England. They waited all night being bombed to see if the flag survived. It was still there, so the British army gave up and America got its freedom.

[@RemyDrmp]

Trying to get us freedom … except for slaves because France’s Scott Kerry was anti abolition

[@GIGI_6-23]

I listen to this at LEAST two or three times a day. This incredible man has the soul of America in each note when he sings it. You might want to check out "COLD".....at the CMA awards last fall.......INCREDIBLE......Also, "Tennessee Whiskey" at Hard Rock Cafe in Atlantic City....And Also check out his duet with Adele......"Easy on Me".....Adele won a Grammy Award for that song. ENJOY!!!

[@dawncrawford7183]

With all do respect most people don’t know the history of our flag let alone name the person who wrote it. Fact! Thanks for sharing I love Chris Stapleton and thought it was outstanding.👍🏻🇺🇸

[@chrisstapleton6551]

hello, how are you doing,how long have you been a fan of mine?

[@trumphatesyou]

I would like to think with all the creators reacting to song most would know.

[@RemyDrmp]

Oh we know who pro slavery, Francis Scott key was , hence the second verse of the anthem

[@angiehall4095]

I tear up. Knowing the history behind the flag and having served in the military is why I think I do. Whether is CS or someone else

[@chrisstapleton6551]

hello, how are you doing,how long have you been a fan of mine

[@vtwlim67]

Amen. I’m naturalized American and we learn the history of America. It’s kinda sad hearing “born” Americans take your roots for granted 😢 Chris killed it!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@deborahconley9276]

Pride, when you read why this was written….pride in our country. Love

[@RemyDrmp]

😂😂😂

[@cherrybates464]

The colors represent their position on the aircraft carrier. Also you have to find the video of how this song was written. Please

[@JacobCuevasVFX]

Even with the issues this country has, this is still the greatest country ever. I wouldn’t trade living anywhere else in this world for the opportunities we have here in America. Chris sang that anthem so well he was able to break down word for word what it means. As a minority, I know things can be better but man I love this country.

[@LJsReactions]

It really makes me think about what it must have been like to be in the hull of that prison ship in Boston Harbor when 200 cannons opened fire all at once...How nerving it must have been throughout that night and how proud it would have been seeing the largest ever American flag being raised in the morning

[@deborahglaser981]

Don’t pick it apart. Just listen, and be proud.

[@KitKat-fq9ou]

I love them both. Whitney & Chris are 2 different styles of music so I can honestly say they're BOTH the BEST versions of the national anthem ever sung. RIP Whitney...you were a talent beyond measure.

[@martinchoi4954]

Chris 1st, and I'm a huge fan of singers singing the NA. He just did it!

[@bbuhdj]

On the deck the colors are for the various jobs. I am always stirred by our anthem.

[@cumminsscout]

So they aren't a "woke" display?

[@bbuhdj]

@cumminsscout no, they are not. Watch Top Gun or any movie that shows carrier decks and you will see the colors.

[@mralowen]

He was a songwriter for years

[@kirkdietz6910]

⁹the soul that makes you feel it in your heart

[@daleb1279]

He's won Grammy's for best country album 3 times, best country solo performance 3 times, and best country song 2 times, and has been nominated 9 additional times when he did not win. Personally, Whitney's performance will always be the best of the best for me, in a classic sense, Chris definitely put his own spin on it and made it one of the best versions, in the same way Jimmy Hendrix did on his electric guitar, but for a classic flawless vocal performance, it is Whitney all the way.

[@deborahglaser981]

He’s just him!❤

[@dwoodrum3118]

I feel love of country.

[@rebeccanguyenasher8427]

All of us who live in this great nation are blessed with incredible privilege; travel anywhere outside of the US and you will see. We are all responsible to learn about our true history and what makes our flag and national anthem so wonderful. There is a KZbin video about our national anthem you need to look up. We got things wrong, as ALL nations have, but we also got things incredibly right. 💕

[@cindykennedy7003]

Please listen to 'The National Anthem as you've never heard it' on here if you don't understand the significance of or know the history of the anthem. It was penned during the battle for our independence from Britain. It chronicles the moment we became our own country and the sacrifices it took for that to happen. They were looking to see if Britain had shot down our flag/defeated us, thru the Smoky dark skies lit only by the glare of the rockets being lobbed at us. Human sacrifices/bodies kept that flag raised, because letting it drop would signal surrender. That's why it's so emotional.

[@deborahglaser981]

Just Different!! No competition. K❤

[@dberd9149]

He don’t have to do anything extra with THAT voice!

[@victoriaburch1367]

Were those the colors of the teams playing the Super Bowl?

[@chrisstapleton6551]

hello how are you doing,how long have you been a fan of mine

[@PaisleySzuSzu]

When I hear the national anthem I'm usually judging the singer's voice more than listening to the words. Every one has always said Whitney's was the best ever but I mean she was Whitney there is nothing she couldn't sing and it was beautiful. But Chris Stapleton made me feel that song in my heart I cried at the second line. I never cried before I never felt that pride in the people who made this country. My parents were military if they were still here I believe they would be so proud of Chris for singing that for us and making it so personal

[@reginaknight5724]

He has written alot of songs for artists

[@joycek6556]

It means alot for all the FREE AMERICANS - BRAVE SOLDIERS DIED FOR FREEDOM - OUR FLAG SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND!!

[@VincentManiscalco]

You said, for what? ??? Chris Stapleton is one of the greatest solo artist ever are you kidding me and if you’ve never been moved by the national anthem before you will be now

[@kayhodge5951]

here's the comparision.....1 amphlifier.....1 guitar and man.....on the field....he doesn't have to have back up or hoopla

[@robsambosky6444]

Dude: For your own edification and because you'll love it, watch The National Anthem as You've Never Known It.

[@temper44]

It's because he always sings each sentence in the way he feels it, not in the best way he can. You always get the impression that he can go higher, stronger or harder on a lot of key notes, but he goes on feeling rather than power. That restraint, I think that is the magic. That, or he sold his soul to the devil down in Georgia. Both are valid options.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

He killed this

[@cassandrajones5120]

The national anthem really depicts a battle during the revolutionary war of what a captured American (Francis Scott Key) saw before he laid down for the night and he would be executed at dawn. He was trying to make sure that we were still in the fight.

[@RemyDrmp]

It’s also depicts him being an anti abolitionist. Key defended the right of people to own slaves and built his case around the idea that anti-slavery activism fomented rebellion among enslaved people and was thus a matter of public safety

[@sharonmullins1957]

Chris has written a lot of songs, crosses over between country......to soul. The colors represent different stations the military held, what job they maintain.

[@linriley7382]

This year is a critical year everyone is jumping on everything and everyone let us find piece and shout out to crises wife and said instead of writing songs for others you get out and sing and a star was born

[@chrisstapleton6551]

hello, how are you doing,how long have you been a fan of mine

[@jesslane56430]

For me, I think it depends on the place and performance.. for example, I work at an elementary school and they had to sing it for a “fun run” fundraiser event. I was like wtf are we doing?! Lol but at a special event honoring soldiers it’s a bit more touching sometimes. My family has a lot of soldiers and marines. My husband is in the army. I completely respect others opinions though. I know it’s different for others. It can for sure depend on the person singing too. Like you said his voice or Whitney’s voice, it’s powerful!

[@kurzzyou5537]

It's an air craft carrier..each color of shirt represents the job the individual does on the flight deck.

[@addisonjames2325]

chris brought the anthem into the 21st century straight beast

[@imajhawk11]

From another thread, the colors depict their specific job on the carrier.

[@paxtonmelder6891]

The different color shirts are so you can tell who has what job on the deck of the ship because it’s pretty chaotic

[@karenpowell6063]

When I hear the National Anthem I feel grateful for our country warts & all . I also realize that there is no country on this earth that is a utopia and doesn't have a less than flattering history.so that's it in a nutshell. It's the world and the US is a great country and btw people from all over the world feel patriotism for their country too

[@erikainiguez1314]

To me the National Anthem as a Marine and as a Mexican, firstly and almost entirely, up until recently...it represents every single sacrifice made by brothers and sisters as well as their families. I'm not proud of the polarity and some of the conniving and pure evils that America is infamous for and of course I'm furious about the racism, big pharma enforcements and my people being hypothetically generalized for all the things when WE are the natives. With ALLLL of that being said and felt, I am still a Marine, I don't regret my time and I am proud to have served. I met some of the truest Marines and military while serving and I lost a few. I want to say more but here it is. To me the National Anthem reverberates every soul lost in battle into my soul and heart. It doesn't represent freedom (not as much as it used to, to me). But I refuse to say it doesn't fill my heart every time I hear it, people lost their lives y'all, when in battle, trust me, you are fighting for the person to left and right of you, behind you etc not for the flag, or sob story. So National Anthem is them speaking to me and the flag waving is those Marines and soldiers waving to me.

[@gdo3510]

I’m fairly certain the colors that they are wearing are for the roles they are assigned and their specific jobs on the deck of an air craft carrier. The colors are important to help distinguish themselves for the pilots landing and all the other hectic things that happen on air craft carriers. I know a lot of people thought they were doing a support of LBGT, but that’s not it.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

He took them to church. Very powerful.

[@deplorablenation111]

National anthem, I feel the positive pride in my country, the beauty it has, and the negative plays second fiddle 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Angie-eh7pp]

Take your hat off, hand over your heart, and just listen. We would not have the opportunity to sit here and watch KZbin videos without the sacrifices made, hence the National Anthem

[@saccomad]

where can you find your poll as to Whitney vs Chris?

[@jeffreytammynorris2706]

I just saw this many times and you are first to ask about the colored uniforms on the carrier. The colors are not the rainbow. It represents the specific job or duty the sailor is assigned. Yellow handles deck traffic, Red handles all missiles , ammo, on the aircrafts, Purple handles fuel, Green does maintenance and cargo, Blue handle planes and equipment, White is the inspections and quality control teams, and finally Brown are the air wing plane captains. It was not the navy representing the rainbow flag. All countries with carriers have adopted our task colors. So China isn't laughing at us. They use th same colors.

[@robr6787]

They're colored designated for the flight deck on aircraft carriers... Each color is a specific job when they have aircraft landing and taking off...

[@VincentManiscalco]

You should watch "Star Spangled Banner as You've Never Heard it". It's an embellished explanation of why our flag and Anthem are so important to us patriots.

[@lindabacas2164]

Please Listen to the “star spangle banner like you never heard before.” It gave me the meaning of the song. You will never listen to it again knowing where it comes from.

I wish you had let the song play out and then comment at the end. It's a beautiful song sung by a great singer.

[@anitasmith7764]

I think you should take a LONG hard look at what this country has been thru to protect its rights and freedom. All the men and women who have literally given their life for this country. Those were all someone’s children, or fathers and mothers, husbands or wives, or someone’s friends. Watch an in depth documentary on The war for independence that birthed this anthem. If you don’t feel anything it’s bc you’re not truly in touch with the history of what this country has dealt with. You should watch several videos on the Revolutionary War, all the other wars, 9/11, and especially on the meaning behind the national anthem and when and why it was written.

[@RemyDrmp]

It’s clear no one in these comments has ever read the 3rd verse of the anthem nor researched Francis Scott key & it’s sad

[@REV.995]

It's a carrier their color signifies their jobs on the deck.

[@patriciawilliams1416]

The colors indicate their job on the ship. And out of respect for national anthem you noticed Chris Stapleton did not wear his signature cowboy hat
