OMG!! Chris Stapleton's National Anthem Performance BLEW ME AWAY!!

[@sillau9]

Facts,loved your reaction..his rendition was soo heartfelt..it makes you acknowledge in a way our strength of our country or something,can't explain it.. (Whitney will always be the one to beat,but his one is definitely right up there with her(anyone else is not even close,lol😅)..they both sang their hearts out with our beautiful American national anthem with such pride 🇺🇲🫡..

[@lizzyfletcher3175]

This is the most American that I have felt in a long time! Definitely my fave rendition! He makes me cry!

[@lizzyfletcher3175]

I love music that makes me feel! They couldn’t have picked anyone better! He has now set the bar!

[@lizzyfletcher3175]

See it is so touching!!

[@LifewithTab]

Me too! Yes, he was a good pick for sure! 😊

[@olerain]

He killed it !!! I have never heard anyone sing it that good

[@goaliedon]

You need to do a deep dive into Chris’ music. There’s a reason he’s an 8-time Grammy winner. Start with Tennessee Whiskey live at Austin City Limits then anything after that. There is no wrong choice with his catalog. 😜

[@couyonuniversity96]

I highly recommend this as well!

[@LifewithTab]

Thank you Don! I will dive deep into his catalogue. I'm sure I will be very pleased. 😀

[@williammillward197]

Yes do Cold 2021 CMA’s amazing will blow you away

[@KONEIL1775]

And a Multi-Platinum Certified artist. I love that Chris Stapleton can bring people into Country music that otherwise wouldn't have. He deserves every bit of the recognition that he gets.

[@cscar7615]

Cold is also amazing

[@mickeydooley2230]

True patriotism from a real american when he sang this

[@kathyyeary5798]

Yes! We are blessed to be Americans! Chris put it on our hearts that day!!

[@eddie623]

When I saw him sing the national anthem and I'm sure many veterans will agree with I had the honor of serving the marine corps my chest swelled up with pride my eyes went watery and right there I thanked the Lord himself for making me AMERICAN 🇺🇸

[@idontlikeyou-bn2pb]

But why? Like America is so great? You guys have fallen of that thrown long ago.

[@Mike-yj5yw]

Chris’s unbelievable rendition of the Star Bangled Banner set the tone for the entire evening.

[@LifewithTab]

YES IT DID!😊❤

[@robinhatcher8021]

Chris took us to church!

[@LifewithTab]

Yes he did!🙏

[@kathyyoung9539]

Chris had everybody cryin'. He can make the phone book sound good.

[@ebenclukey7293]

I'm so glad for your reaction to "Gallantly Streaming". That's really the musical moment. It was a very difficult and technical run, especially without much wind behind it. I believe he sang it quietly out of respect. He didn't want to upstage the meaning behind the song. Also, Chris is rarely seen without his hat, but he removed it to sing the national anthem. A solid man he is.

[@sophiaoconnor777]

Don't know Chris Stapleton but it's special when an artist makes you feel their art. Beautiful.

[@smoothcs7366]

Chris is in my opinion the best voice the planet has right now. You are in for a treat if you go down that rabbit hole .

[@LifewithTab]

Yes, he is a gift! A True raw talent he is! I won't go all the way down the rabbit hole lol but I do plan on checking out more of his catalog. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@susanmullen7398]

All of his music is like this

[@garyglardon5140]

He took the spot as the best anthem ever chris is next level.

[@thecatalist9117]

Chris Took Us All to Church singing the National Anthem ❤

[@mrivera7696]

I, too, was blown away! When I tell you that I had to play it, play it back all over, pause, rewind and play it like 10 more times ... Whew! It was AMAAAZING!!! This man had me crying, yelling, laughing, woohooing, in my car to the point where I had to pull over on the side of the road (seriously) and play it again & again (loudly)! Anybody driving past me was going to think I was a nutcase because I had it up loud then kept clapping, yelling, laughing, etc! I mean I was talking to Chris Stapleton meanwhile he has no idea that I even exist. (Laughing now.) 🤣 Uggghhhh! So sooo GOOD. My only complaint: It was too short! As a matter of fact, I'm going to stop writing this comment so that I can go and listen to it once AGAIN!

[@LifewithTab]

Lol I love ittt! You're like me. This kind of singing and music always makes me lose my mind cause it's so touching. Thanks for commenting ☺

[@harrypalmer7169]

I am English to the core and yet Chris Stapleton's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" brought tears to my eyes. He sang it with passion and reverence, not as some have done, what i mean by that is, without the vocal gymnastics. I will be watching it again and again, it was truly inspirational.

[@LifewithTab]

Absolutely, I thought the same thing! Thank you for watching! 🤗

[@randycarranza4997]

That's voice of angel singing the national anthem.

[@pt1122]

Brought the song to life …made it real to me

[@bettystewart1705]

T h e best ever of the national anthem. No one could compare to him.

[@KennethKBBenson]

Chris Stapleton was sangin', sangin'

[@LifewithTab]

Yes he was! 🙌🏽

[@jimbennett8036]

Chris sing this the way it should be sang, from the heart.

[@LifewithTab]

Ain't that the truth!

[@veronapaisley6915]

Chris Stapleton was passionate Gospel Soul giving the Anthem reverence and spirit.

[@Ssalyer41]

Gritty Soul is a very good description of his voice.

[@LifewithTab]

Absolutely!

[@nancydoney7203]

They pick the right person this year to sing our National Anthem the best to ever heard

[@MizJilly]

This rendition brought the anthem to the personal level. He could have been singing about an uncle who died in Vietnam, mee-maw and them, or the next generation coming up. It was an ode to all of us as Americans. it was simple and beautiful.

[@aidanduque6464]

The word your looking for on how his voice sounds is "America." That how it makes you feel! Makes you Proud to be in and feel American.

[@malcolmcarter3223]

Hit me like that too, it seemed very “anointed” to me!

[@dumillion23]

Perfectly said

[@sherrybaldwin2544]

You got it right, I believe it most definitely was anointed!!!

[@sillau9]

Definitely agree

[@dylanross5510]

Anointed! That's the word. Thank you! I've been looking for the description and that is the word that covers it entirely!

[@LifewithTab]

Anointed is absolutely a good word to describe it!

[@Badass_Rooster]

I can’t hear this version without tearing up!

[@LisafromFL]

U need to react to some Chris Stapleton. U will not b disappointed.

[@mybusiness7646]

Yes.... i heard it girl.... that "gallantly streaming" was pure fire!!! I have been trying to watch these reactions to see if they hear what i hear and you are the only one!! Thank you!!! Even the run at the very first word, "oh"..... OMG.... He nailed the anthem.... That is all!!!

[@Gumtreegary]

Best live anthem ever.,

[@robertworkman1419]

Yep. I cried !

[@debbiewaters5153]

Yep you should really check out more of his songs!!! Powerful stuff!!!

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

Beautiful and Powerful ❤

[@joshuasimmons6155]

Yes, Ma'am. Go ahead and dive on in to my man's catalog. You will not be disappointed. That man is nothing but soul and emotion. A once in a generation talent.

[@LifewithTab]

That is the truth! ☺

[@joshuasimmons6155]

@@LifewithTab What did it for me is that this felt like The National Anthem sung by Chris Stapleton and not Chris Stapleton sings the National Anthem. To some that may be a distinction without a difference, but to me, it was everything. You knew he was holding back while singing and not simply looking to display the breadth of his skill as a way of keeping eyes on him. He found a way to get out of the way and sing our hearts to attention at the Anthem being celebrated.

[@nikkinicol78]

I love your reaction!! Your commentary is spot on. And you have a beautiful voice!

[@LifewithTab]

Aww Thank you so much. That means a lot!

[@nikkinicol78]

@LIFE WITH TAB please consider reacting to Angelina Jordan! She was only 9 when she did a cover of I Put A Spell On You, or her Bohemian Rhapsody cover at AGT, she was 13. She is an absolute prodigy!! 💯

he was smooth like Tennessee whiskey 🥃

I will check it out!

[@madelineshockley5906]

Thank You beautiful Lady, that was so great.

[@LifewithTab]

Thank you! ❤

[@halah34]

Not gonna lie, I knew about him but this one snuck up on me. My guy just stood there in front of a few million people with sunglasses and a guitar like he was practicing in front of a mirror

[@LifewithTab]

Righhht! I was like how is he so calm and cool right now, like he's just practicing in his living room. It's amazing to see.

[@smoothcs7366]

@halah34 Chris was always scared to perform . He wrote so many number one songs for other stars . Until his wife Morgan encouraged him to try. He released “ traveler “ with his own songs and the rest is history . A legend was born . I’m glad so many people got hear him for the first time durning Super Bowl .

[@quintondees4501]

Already a legend

[@STORMYDAYS]

The only issue i have with Whitney's is she lip synced in 1990 due to a throat issue., this is my #1

[@LifewithTab]

That's true! But you already know if she didn't have that issue she would've sung it live and it would have still been great because she had the most amazing voice.

[@marlostanfield1087]

Loved your genuine reaction!! Also, you are beautiful lol

[@LifewithTab]

Aww thank you so much! ❤

[@josegracia5853]

Just perfect

[@thomasdailey7242]

No comparison between Chris and Whitney. Appels & oranges. Both were excellent.

[@LifewithTab]

You're absolutely right!

[@lanaalfaro3825]

Take a look at his performance with Stevie Wonder at the grammys. It was great too.

[@LifewithTab]

Whatttttt he performed with Stevie at the grammy's???!!! I didn't know that. I must check that out now, Thank you!

[@scotsirish1970]

your spot on!

[@richardallen6617]

"Soulful smoothness" is right! You nailed it young lady. The only other version I have ever heard at the Super Bowl that comes close to this version was Whitney Houston.

[@LifewithTab]

Right lol!! If you were to describe his voice it most definitely be that. OMG yes Whitney is my all time favorite version but he is by far a strong second.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Liked and subscribed. He has so much soul when he sings

[@LifewithTab]

Thank you! And yes he does

[@jonathanmclean5807]

Chris been the goat since his Steeldrivers and Jompson brothers days. The dude is legendary.

[@LifewithTab]

Indeed he is!

[@basicplace]

Love your analysis, especially the difference of feeling vs singing a song--spot on! Marvin Gaye's soulful rendition at the 1983 NBA All-Star game and the significance of Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner are also all-time greats!

[@LifewithTab]

Haha, I'm just reacting to how I feel, you know? Thank you for listening. ☺

[@NK-wy8wp]

Chris Stapleton and Whitney Houston was may favorite.

[@michelangelotroccoli7748]

Songs you need to hear by him.....Cold, Tennessee whiskey, sometimes I cry, either way, I was wrong.....just a few

[@zippyzipster46]

We just witnessed #2. Whitney hit it at #1 and may never be topped. I watched and listened to her unreal talent. Then watched this past Sunday. In the ballpark. And then followed by a great game. I love this country. Name one that is better. We have problems. But man..,we have it good.

[@Northeastguy14]

People that say this don’t know that Whitneys was lip-synch. Apples for apples… Stapleton’s version was better.

[@janicelsutton9437]

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

[@iamfodder1017]

Just mastery...brilliant. He easily could have jazzed it up and done a dozen other things with that song....he didn't. He very gently stroked his guitar and sang the words with passion....he was serenading all of America. Could you imagine the woke board room conversations when someone must have suggested a country and western singer sing the anthem? Ha! For two minutes everyone was American. Well done Chris.

I agree. Whitney, Chris, then Jimi. I just wish all the hate would stop. We are creating more racism (ethnicism) than we have ever had just in the last decade or two. Peace, Love!!

Welcome to Chris Stapleton. It's a rabbit hole. Seriously. Listen to "Cold" (Live at the CMA's), Tennessee Whiskey, I Was Wrong, Sometimes I Cry, and What are you Listening To? You won't be sorry!

[@davidk8509]

You know, I thought Whitney Houston's was better, but I found out that this week that she didn't even sing it live and what we heard was recorded in a studio and played for the audience. Even the orchastra finger synced it. So this is IMO the best LIVE performance ever.
