Kelly always could sing...

[@bingsu7824]

She is so underrated... Kelly DESERVES A LOT MORE!

[@Infinite_Deity_Ent]

Oh she is more, what they don’t tell you is she’s the Beyoncé overseas

[@egyptscott4801]

This version was very different and even though she was a little under the weather..she still did a great job 😘😘😘

[@danaegoddess]

She's Amazing

[@swiftlydoesit8480]

She hasn't got the biggest voice but she knows how to augment it. Good job.

[@returnofthemack8347]

Kelly has pipes I’ll post some links

[@ladyofwisdom2]

I think that she was still sick during this performance but darn she sounded very good. I am not sure what happened with that ending?🤔🤔

[@PRHR718]

She was lol she has done this soooooo much better

[@returnofthemack8347]

Yesss kelly this was beautiful

[@neetrab]

I wish they would let gospel singers sing this song on these national platforms. They sound just as good if not better than most secular artists that sing it.

[@kinyadreyahoo]

She was sick almost had someone else replace her

[@nasjones6272]

Kelly is so beautiful and gentle

[@centaviodehernandez]

Beautiful ❤️

[@MrSeptember1990]

beautiful

Those white ladies were like « Get it Whitney ! »

[@ryantan341]

better than Fergie!

[@devontegirdner2341]

#jTan Entertainment haha omg so true

[@joshuajeremiah5689]

Thank you captain obvious 😒

[@cocochante6685]

She sound amazing.. but I can tell that she is congested or sick in some other of way

[@ericmcgowan1993]

She sang it just like her cousin at the very end 😄

[@brandonwilliams4756]

I love the fact that she didn't take those extra long notes & still slayed that song 😍

[@dngarissan5378]

hahahahaha I spending my time now checking all singers singing this, and it seems like they are all have some struggles.

[@danspicer2405]

Not Mariah

[@gbk2006]

She sounds congested..may have been sick

[@pure1769]

She was.

[@neetrab]

lol! i agree.

[@trevonbrazile4118]

I can tell she was struggling but I think it was still good

[@1037pm]

The end was an absolute mess.

[@Blackisbeautifull96]

Word she started out so well and then ended with that smh

[@everythingFLO__]

She killed it all cry about it

[@ZairayCash]

I'm a very big fan of Kelly but I was not feeling this at all! The version she did with DC sounded betta &b I'm just referring to her part cuz her last note was amazing so I know she can do it. Her 2013 version was alot betta than this but wasn't feeling that one either.

[@alperwolfie]

Zairay Cash yeah because Beyoncé makes her work hard, she’s a perfectionist and she has to be a perfectionist or else you’ll get the side eye

[@joymechell277]

She was sick and almost had to be replaced

[@xxxTIN0xxx]

I love the note at 02:03. The performance as a whole wasn't the best, something was wrong, she was singing it too fast and the last run wasn't good, I was expecting a better sustained belt. I think Kelly feels more confident when she's with the group, in fact when they sang it together she was the strongest by far. Let's not forget that, unlike others (included her band mate as a solo) she has actually sung it live here and that is a point in her favor. I detest when artists lip-sync the National Anthem. I can pass on some pitchy notes when the singer sings live. Pre-recorded tracks should be forbidden.

[@pure1769]

She has much better performances of the anthem than this (check out her rendition for the pro-bowl, and the one she did at a boxing event). She was sick during this performance, but that's really no excuse because as a professional vocalist, there are techniques you can administer to help you push through, and if that won't do the trick, you pull out (though that looks unprofessional and could potentially ruin your chances of ever being booked again). I guess it's a catch 22; do I sing sick and risk sounding a hot mess, or do I pull out at the last minute, and risk sullying my reputation? She did the best she could I suppose, but she did not sound like a consumate professional. At least Kelly keeps it real though. Sick or naw, she's going to give you a live vocal.

Technique was sketchy but good.

[@sonnyitaliano4158]

She sounds very nervous

[@travfrank6465]

She sang that way too fast

[@TheChanteShow]

oh no

[@SkyjayFitness]

Why is she running with the song

[@rebeccat7005]

Skyjay Music she was really ill

[@pinkrose372]

It was a bit rushed she must have been really nervous.

[@brandiwatson6218]

She song the the Anthemn better than Beyonce

[@cl3883]

Yeaaa. NO

[@SW33TI316]

i love kelly not this version at all

[@thetruthdotcom100]

Ooops … she was nervous definitely

[@pure1769]

Actually, she was sick 🤧.

[@timikaroberts3060]

She could've kept the song simple at the end but she did good not great but safe until she started to do too much at the end

[@AmaLoveGoddessTV]

That was bad and lazy and that's for someone who can really sing

[@Treybaile]

PrincessAmandaTV She Was Sick 💀 Goofy

[@thelastchange3346]

.... i prever to letoya luckett version ... kelly version sound so weird

[@nasjones6272]

She should have rehearsed a little more

[@anthonytilley5774]

She need a good job

[@bodyu83]

Terrible

[@Knockaswagga]

she kinda did too much lol but she was pitch perfect

[@nicim3730]

She needs to be in a group...she is not a lead vocalist at all

[@tiffanyingram3444]

False

[@jlynnm6364]

Kelly need to find a key 🎹 bcuz wtf was this??

[@cocochante6685]

She’s was on key, she was pitchy in some areas and that’s because she was definitely congested or sick.

[@jlynnm6364]

@@cocochante6685 after watching I do see she is on key at least my apologies

[@pure1769]

This was sung in the key of sick.

[@eman8143]

That was bad

[@dupri77]

I can’t believe you people are saying this sound good 👀 NO IT DOESNT! It sounds really bad, too many runs and unnecessary riffs. I’m not being a bully either, I’m critiquing her vocals considering she was apart of Destiny’s Child and shared the same stage with Beyoncé

[@nicsword1]

Now you see how Beyonce was the talent. It's the anthem, not a Billboard top 40 song!

[@alinam7432]

Beyonces versions were way more modified and overdone than kellys here.

[@TokenTJ]

You obviously haven’t watched any Beyoncé’s versions

[@tierasimone8888]

My goodness relax hate ppl like you

[@stevenmorris2234]

Tiera Simone there's also Michelle Williams who sings this song. Not sure how I feel when she sings it.

[@redzoom7857]

@@TokenTJ Which was clearly better. Lol

[@everetthutcherson2704]

It's a no for me.

[@mrlovepark]

It’s a tough song to sing and she has NEVER had the vocal chops to do this song any justice…. Good try though

[@canon6363]

Umm, this is not Farrah, Kelly was clearly under the weather here and I believe the nerves got the better of her. To say she never had the chops is a big reach. Kelly can sing anything she wants.

[@mrlovepark]

@@canon6363 Kelly is NOT a great singer and that’s just a fact! Her runs are horrible, her breathe control is asthmatic, and her vocal stylings and choices need work. She’s good enough to harmonize in a girl group, but that’s about it! Any member of Danity Kane could have replaced her vocals in DC3. Her voice is NOT an essential worker and she doesn’t have enough star power to overlook it, such as Ciara, Rihanna, Ashanti, etc. She hasn’t grown vocally enough to perform the National Anthem. I like Kelly but unless she’s selling sex appeal or sexy vibes her voice is useless kinda like Janet and Jlo.

[@youngroyalty86]

That was a mess 😂. Sorry. Not sorry.

[@thelastchange3346]

I'm sorry ... she failed ...
