National Anthem Epic Fail 7-3-2011

[@Zzzk23]

You can tell he has a not terrible voice by any means. He just wanted to make sure we knew that everything was there.

[@HODMinistry]

🤣

[@ogelcrew]

It's strange, but after listening to him sing I'm wondering "if I was there?"

[@4crazybeans533]

I guess you just had to be there

[@joshuakatz2499]

Actually pretty bad

[@Wildflower444]

😂😂

[@MissTruthz]

"And the rockets gl-red glare were so glalantly there,her stripes were all there,and the rockets were there." Best part

[@bq5586]

Boogiedoogie&toogie couldn’t agree more

[@calvinzimmerman8570]

Now he tells us who was there I’m wondering who wasn’t there? No lakers? Like you had the rockets but no Celtics? 😂

[@carolinepeters28]

and the voice crack tho 😂

[@GutAValoiS]

He wanted to go there where everything already was... so galantly there!

[@karatedeathtower]

I'm glad there's someone out there keeping proper inventory of the rockets.

[@davidnissim589]

LYRICS: Oh say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars Were so gallantly there As the rockets were there And the twilight's last gleaming And the rockets' gl-red glare Were so gallantly there Her stripes were all there And the rockets were there Oh say does that star-spangled bannern yet glaaaaaze? Over the land of the free And the home of the brave

[@kdeanpro2013]

This needs to be the actual anthem 😂

[@Lanii_.]

Thank you 😂

[@scoob7995]

Great except at the end he cut off the end of brave 😂

[@Maklop-102]

Im pretty sure it was THERE

[@curtthechameleon]

That look at the end is priceless. Like he was apologetic with one look.

[@beloveddagger2892]

It was at this moment he knew...he f*cked up.

[@sheiladaly1507]

This is my favorite National Anthem fail by a mile! He stayed calm and focused...beautiful voice and even added a little "glaze" with the rockets - lol Plus, I love the little head shake at the end - just to let us all know...he knows what he did.

[@twiggystardust9573]

I really wanted him to finish with "O're the land of the free, and the rockets were there," but I guess I'll just be left wondering if the rockets were still there. I'll assume they were.

[@chrisstamper5181]

Bless his heart,he sang so well and persevered, you can respect that all day long

[@Bigjshifty08]

I have the utmost respect for Sir Gage Charles. He really did nail that last couple lines like a champ. Props for even holding it together without a complete meltdown.

[@itsannapop]

I think about this for a few minutes once a month, going on year 3 now.

@@doobythecat your timing is impeccable are you magic? I can't believe I just looked this up about two weeks ago. I don't understand how it's so engraved in my mind but I will continue to let it live rent free, using up all the utilities carelessly, until it's ready to go. Happy fourth ahead of time doobythecat, may everything you need and want be _there_

[@randonian1]

He got us there for sure in the end!!

[@MackB2023]

I was impressed with his poise .. he knew it was a major f up... went with it like a boss lol! Good on him

[@alanmorris7669]

He did the wrong thing. If you keep doing the same thing, you will get the same results. He should've switched up and started singing "America The Beautiful" or "God Bless America." Everybody knows those songs. If nothing else, he should've just stopped and said, _"God bless you and God bless America."_

[@NyxDream]
