[HD] American Idol Runner-Up Jessica Sanchez at the PBS National Memorial Day Concert 2012 (May 27, 2012)

[@ThelntellectualTruth]

This is the best and most proper way to sing SSB. No tweaks, just the superb vocal prowess of Jessica hitting the right and proper notes of the anthem. Nobody had done it better than Jessica.

[@SourShlee0]

I LOVE HER SO HAPPY TO SEE HER ALREADY DOING STUFF LIKE THIS

[@Winrich12]

I love you Jessica Sanchez. My brother is in the U.S Navy, and he's so happy that you're one of the special guests during this event. BTW- you sang the national anthem beautifully!

[@boobylinks]

Yes, Charice will be glad to know that someone out there in the world will always be thinking of how much better of a Diva she is compared to others. May God bless you sir for reminding the rest of us of this with such powerful eloquence! ='P

[@yourstruly265]

[@yobilyo9948]

wow!! goosebumps... I felt her while singing the anthem...

[@LoisLane18]

Wow! Her version got me teared up.

[@chocofield]

great singing there Jessica.. thumbs up..

[@petenolasco]

The best rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I've heard and seen in a long while. Jessica sang with beauty, power, conviction and reverence. The way anthems should be sung, sans flourishes and embellishments -- which she could do and had done in the past. But here this is most appropriate. I also love the fusion at the end of all-male voices representing the different US armed forces branch field choirs. I just love it. Very touching. And I'm Canadian. Belated Happy Memorial Day to the US!

[@rolly25000]

SOUL DIVA, WORLD IDOL AND TRULY AMERICAN IDOL...

[@TheKim2893]

she sang the anthem in the right way! this is not about her showing her vocal abilities! this is for people who served our country! this performance is full of respect and class! which is great! actually! singing the right tempo at the right place! beautiful!

[@joanrain2313]

This girl cannot get a break! Now we didn't get to hear her sing the Prayer, man.........All l can say to her fans is buy her music and help her succeed. I love her voice, for this type of talent doesn't come too often. Let us not lose her!

[@nestorsilvestre1]

one word: EFFORTLESS! America is so proud of you.

[@rubixcube1079]

Jessica sang it amazingly!

[@TheKim2893]

that is such a big event! they want it to be perfect!

[@mylenefullerton]

perfect!!

[@MA2DueceNickelTre]

I sure do look awesome holding that navy colors behind her. Was one of the top two best singers i have every heard sing the anthem.

[@akomattoy6920]

the best ka talaga Jess! your awesome..I Love You..:)

[@marydiorlyn7928]

Perfect

[@b3fiend]

usually the winner of Idol gets invited to this concert - They invited jessica way back in the top 5 because they knew she was by far the best singer idol has ever produced. (can you imagine what PP would have done to this song? he'd manage to rewrite it into 5 notes as usual)

[@dreamer1875]

Flawless! Bravo hija bravo!

[@peternolasco3668]

LOL. I'm not American but I have been deeply touched by Jessica's rendition here of the Star-spangled Banner: with beauty, power, conviction and reverence. The way a national anthem must be sung. Best I've heard and viewed in a long while. I hope memorial day concerts going forward will adopt this most appropriate singing of the anthem.

[@yourstruly265]

she's already matured enough at 16 to know just how to respect the anthem, she's actually born american after all, only has mexican-filipino roots...though she can outdo other singers who exaggerated on this, she maintained her composure with full respect....she has in her mind her father who's still active navy at singapore...God bless her and america....!!!

[@skysmith8586]

Superb

[@gwapo99a]

Excellent.....you are the perfection in this national anthem of USA. A truly AI winner.

[@ParisLoOfficialTV]

love this girl, so talented. ;)

[@excelsior699]

great!!

[@Nosibalasi]

WoW !"World Class Idol!!!!"

[@shari072710]

she's great.. OMG..

[@ranhony]

That is how a national anthem should be sung, right tempo right notes no unnecessary embellishments! Great job!

[@robowenhalsey517]

please no more haters, just support jessica in her album...support her in itunes ...

[@tsak000]

@sunhelmet i TOTALLY agree with you!!! Jessica is amazing no matter what race or color she is!!!! We all should respect everyone for who they are!

[@boydlueong3334]

VERY GOOD. PERFECT!

[@iachmiley]

goosebumps.. ggshes the best..

[@trainrecked]

Jessica has an amazing voice...Just cause she didn't win top spot..does not mean she didn't have the best voice..I've been listening to music for nearly fifty years..Have no prejudice..To my ears..she was hands down the best vocalist on that show..Even Phillip would say that if asked.

[@barbiepr4999]

Bravo Jessica ,cantas hermoso Dios te Bendiga orgullosa de ser Latina.

[@MarleneOrtiz562]

She really sung this a lot better than many of the Major artists out there. She has a great Voice period!

[@quennetteanthony218]

Agpaparaw isuna ditoy kakabsat. has there been any other singers who sang the national anthem as fast as 90 seconds? Jessica Sanchez sang this song perfectly.

[@mckinleywarren]

[@hazel1500]

Wow. She's the runner up and yet she got to sing america's national anthem. Jessica's just too epic XD

[@ashleywebsy6701]

Jessica is the Real american Pro Singer,, at 16 year young,, who could expect that she can sing like that?? on front of the White House Crowd???Oh,, Stop!! THE war about your title!! We have our Sweet 16 American girl,, Famous,, from the EAST,,to the WEST,, to the SOUTH,, and to the NORTH,, SHE IS TOTALLY undefeated vocal talent,, with tremendous singing PROOFS!! truly ,, God Bless America!!! for Jessica Sanchez!!

[@angelitachua720]

THUMBS UP!

[@yanomotoharu5059]

For me a great singer is a singer who can sing his/her country's national anthem with poise, melody, exact tune and refinement, not like those singers who twist the anthem's tunes just for popularity. Her voice is so refined. But I hope she doesn't forget her Filipino fans. Actually I am a Filipino, I already memorized the Star-Spangled Banner anthem because of her. Truly, the Philippines is the Songbird of Asia.

[@Ashleechoi7]

that touched my heart, and I'm not even American

[@hazel1500]

nice jessica amazing voice.. i love it......... proud to be PINOY... ^_^

[@jupiter721]

this is the proper way of singing the national anthem of America

[@mgcdavidstubechannel]

I like how the guy on the corner kept waiving his flag.

[@riomori8816]

pretty good!!

[@0912josie]

Charice had already sang the US Nation Anthem at the Dodgers vs. Giants which was also televised

[@JaySanchezFan01]

Wow, beautiful rendition! She is utterly splendid! I can almost memorize the Star Spangled Banner and I am not even American. :)

[@angelitachua720]

AMEN

[@peternolasco3668]

Good to see you here, bro. Missed your acerbic wit.Agree with your comments.

[@lhenclemente]

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST

[@BBallShooter36]

The dude at the end was like "wow shes beautiful"

[@lanidelacruz3439]

[@romavil21]

[@wendy080475]

[@fmaribao61]
