Kirstie Maldonado - National Anthem [1.21.17]

[@Catz1a]

I can't believe this girl. Kirstie literally did not miss a single not. She didn't crack, she didn't release too much air, she never went off pitch. She's flawless

[@trishradloff8817]

You should check her out in the group Pentatonix. They are fabulous!

[@charliet.4756]

Well sorry to burst your bubble but she’s was off pitch a few times

[@Catz1a]

@@trishradloff8817 I know who she is haha that'd why I watched

[@Catz1a]

@@charliet.4756 When did she go off pitch so that I can train my ear better if you don't mind

[@SeptimusTSS]

@@Catz1a in the first line "say" wavored a bit, and the next word "can". but overall she has amazing pitch control

[@Melisadudley]

1:21 That note... I can't physically breathe right now

[@rmac1042]

Every individual in Pentatonix is a vocal master! The gigantic talent of each person is responsible for the genius of Pentatonix as a whole! Kirstie was absolutely killin' on this; I'm sooo proud of her!

[@richiethesee]

Yep. They go around in turn to each individual, beginning with a solo, the rest blending into perfect harmony, no one voice discernible, nobody standing out- just one pure beautiful sound.. That first solo you think is perfect and nobody could do better than that, then the next in line tops the first, and this same thing progresses.. impossibly ... till you get back to the first.. and then the strangest most amazing thing happens, rather than start over from the bottom, the spiral of blowing you away continues!... they go on forever, there are no bounds, no egos, just pure professional talent. They are as a group a living masterpiece made up from living masterpieces.

[@brenna5045]

she sounded so nervous aw aw aw I love her she still sounded amazing wth

[@minervaj5484]

Brenna I also think she was nervous, but who wouldn't be so, with so many people listening ONLY to her and she standing right in the middle of everyone's view... and singing thier National Anthem! It's crazy

Hi the US found oil in your country give or be invaded

[@odieredila]

She was a bit shaky at the beginning, leading me to assume that her belts would be a bit off, but bOY I WAS WRONG. Her high belts are SO powerful and SO clear. I'm so glad I have her as a role model, vocally, mentally, and physically. Wow.

[@emikenzii]

ThatPentaholicOdie "shaky voice" is a choir thing.

[@m1randa638]

I believe it is just a style of vibrato.

[@pb2560]

nah, she was definetely nervous. usually her vibrato is not that fast.

[@acuteal9068]

She totally deserved that standing ovation well done queen

[@marz0909]

I'm not American but I do know for a fact many famous singers can´t handle singing their country's anthem... But not this girl, let me tell you. She stood up to the honor and nailed it. Pitch perfect, Kirsten!!

[@Lisa.H.]

I'm not American, but your National Anthem is so wicked!

[@luzzzzzyc]

Ok so we already got Scott's version, we got Kirstin's version, and now we need a Mitch's version to the national anthem. Anyone agree?

[@dehlia1221]

And Matt! Also it would be cool if Kevin did like a beatboxing unique version!

[@manamiwashington9558]

@@dehlia1221 Kevin can sing I want to hear him sing the national anthem

[@syhviona]

I'm so proud of her, her talent is overwhelming and everyone ought to know her and keep her as a role model, she's always so kind to the fans while still doing an amazing job on stage, I'm glad I'm a fan of pentatonix💖💓

[@abolishice591]

Kirstin is so good at portraying deep and powerful emotions/storylines with her voice. People don't seem to appreciate how skilled she is with that.

[@taylorthon8320]

Just glanced at this video. Kirstie killed it. So good it gave me chills, especially at the end. Would have been awesome if she sang that for the presidential inauguration, that way the whole world could see.

[@jennygreig5776]

Half of Kirstin's family immigrated from Mexico, I highly doubt she would want to sing at trump's inauguration

[@ptxvogue]

thanks for posting this!! now I'm blessed 😍

[@dillon9450]

I just love her vibrato so much, it's so even and strong

[@odieredila]

i. have. not. stopped. watching. this.

[@procrastinatorblake7041]

So happy to have these 5 beautiful and talented people to look up to, BUT Kirstie is an even bigger role model for me because we are so close in age. I just turned 19 in November and she's about to turn 25 in May. She is so talented and wish I could hit notes like she can…

[@eva_vert8942]

You're closer to Mitch in age, just saying. And 19 and 25 aren't even that close... So that argument for her being a bigger role model for you than the rest makes no sense. (And I'm not saying that she can't be your role model, just not for that particular reason)

[@procrastinatorblake7041]

Mitch and Kirstie is only a few months apart, Kirstie is May of 1992, and Mitch is July of 1992. I'm not trying to bring an argument. Just stating facts. I love all of them equally, but I feel like I have some of Scott and Mitch's personalities in me. I know 19 and 25 aren't that close, but there's really not any other young musicians I listen to.

[@eva_vert8942]

Shania it's okay girl, I don't know why I was nitpicking

[@procrastinatorblake7041]

Eva you're fine. I understand, I do it sometimes as well.
