omg that was just beautiful 😍 😭 just seeing this in 2022. gonna go to new york to see her this spring

[@Stu228]

She did a fantastic job.

[@DAS1962]

She is amazing! Greetings from Down Under, but EVERYONE should embrace Joyce as she is amazing!! Get behind her Kansas - she is way better than Dorothy!

[@fourniturev]

she's so wonderful! bless you!

[@dvdinjp]

Wow, superb. Thank you Joyce.

[@gaynorhenry]

Jaw-dropping. What a fabulous voice!

[@Raynebow.]

Heard she sang it a cappella and needed to hear it for myself... 😱😍

[@fantastiskchow8830]

Describing her as Grammy award winner is an understatement

[@benhotaling6800]

She was beauiful opera voice redemption national anthem by joyce didanto

[@19jacinta88]

Wasn't there a petition to get her to sing this? Anyway I'm glad she did :D

[@caninbar]

LivnamKaur There should have been a petition to stop her from singing this!

[@Deberyokay]

+Zelmira shut up

[@platypusguy]

Wow! Just amazing!

[@sorariku0902korftw]

***** Excuse you. Competent would be an insult for someone of Joyce's caliber. They MLB should be thanking her a million times over for performing this so wonderfully.

[@sorariku0902korftw]

***** Flat? On an a capella performance? You're going to have to be more specific on where because I didn't hear it and remain unconvinced. Joyce is an icon in the world of opera. Arguably one of the most notable mezzo sopranos alive today. Where exactly was she flat?

[@manchitas3531]

Kicks Renee out of the field!!!

[@vocalnerd]

Yes, I also personally prefer Joyce's rendition (and voice)!

[@redwoodcitizen]

Agree wholeheartedly.

[@nostoon4332]

No.

[@redwoodcitizen]

Way way better than Renee Fleming's version at the Super Bowl a few years ago. Fleming was all over the place. DiDonato nailed it beautifully.

[@edouarddelrisco8000]

"Una voce poco fa" suits her better ! Please Joyce stay on what you do best than anyone : opera !

[@gregscheetz2952]

I mean, she is a KC native though.

[@reyesxavier518]

I understand where you're coming from dude but no need to post it lol. I'm sure you'd never say that to her face anyhow. She's too raw for you.

[@caninbar]

How DOES she gargle and sing at the same time???? LOL!

[@BoomBoom-sr8nt]

Zelmira best comment ever

[@LaDivinaLover]

She could've at least trilled or something...

[@Ihdc1]

I can't believe she made the elementary mistake of singing "ba-an-e-er" instead of "ban-ne-er" and added a few other extra notes. Renee Fleming is still the only one who sang it exactly as written.

[@MASMusic1102]

What a mess!
