AMERICAN REACTS & RANKS BRITISH NATIONAL ANTHEMS! 🤯 (ENGLAND IRELAND, WALES, SCOTLAND, ISLE of MAN) 

How would you rank them?! 🤔 LIKE THE VIDEO! 🎉 AND SUBSCRIBE IF YOURE NEW! 💛

Scotlands national anthem has lyrics, you just listened to the instrumental one lol

Just to say but we in Ireland don’t call it Gaelic we just say Irish. Gaelic is a group of languages that are different pretty each other so in Ireland we just call it Irish. Also, Gaelic is also a very popular sport in Ireland.

when these Scottish, Irish and Welsh anthems refer to fighting they are talking about fighting the English!

The last anthem you listened to is for the whole of the United Kingdom: Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

It’s nice that the one thing that truly unifies our countries, is how this video butchered all our anthems and cultures ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪🇮🇲

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿As a Welsh person I’m so happy 😀 you believe that Wales we should have more respect from other countries🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The Republic of Ireland isn’t actually in the UK, Northern Ireland is :) Also, interestingly, there is a debate as to whether England should have its own national anthem cos it doesn’t. England just uses the UKs God Save the Queen. The options for an English anthem are ‘Jerusalem’ (my fave), ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ (also very fun), and ‘I Vow to Thee, My Country’

I am Irish and I've never heard that version of the anthem, why can foreigners never seem to find the actually anthem😂

'can you imagine getting hyped up for the game?' she says. LoL. Clearly you've never heard the welsh anthem sung before a rugby game

Flower of Scotland does have lyrics, we are very proud of it.

The Scottish anthem does have lyrics, the video you found must just be an instrumental version. It’s the story of the victory over the English King Edward at the battle of Bannockburn. Scots love the anthem and sing it at the top of their lungs at sports events

The Welsh national anthem can be sung by many choirs in Wales and that's why it gives an operatic sound. Anthem is always played at rugby matches.

You should react to them being sung at rugby matches, it’s a WHOLE different vibe. Much better

I have never heard the Irish national athem sang like that before and that's coming from an Irish person. If you really want to know what they sound like listean to them sang at Rugby matches with 80000 people

The welsh national anthem sounds way better in a rugby stadium

When the English national anthem is sung at sports we sing only the first 40 seconds really

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau was composed by father and son Evan James and James James in 1856. The original title was Glan Rhondda, meaning Banks of the Rhondda if I remember correctly. It reached national acclaim in 1858 when it was performed at the Llangollen Eisteddfod (which is a festival held every year to celebrate Welsh culture, food, crafts, language, arts and more!) I think it was created when the writer's brother asked him to join him in America to start a new life and he pretty much didn't want I don't think, he must of loved his country too much! (though I don't think it has anything to do with us being sea farers in particular I think it is talking about the sea that cuts us off from a lot of the world but I could be wrong). While Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau is sung at national events and sporting occasions and universally recognised as Wales’ national anthem, it isn’t actually legally or officially known as such - which is the case for the majority of anthems in the British isles. It has also been called the extra man I believe, blamed for making other countries loose against us in sports events such as Rugby as it unites the crowd and allegedly broke the focus of the other teams. Last little fact is, is that song is one of the first known recordings of the Welsh Language. Hopefully this gives you some background into our culture. Also I don't know of welsh being sung in opera as I believe that it is mostly Italian though I do believe it could've been used in an opera somewhere, most likely by Welsh Fathers.

8:30 Just because a language uses the latin alpabeth doesn't mean that the letters always have the same sounds. That includes english not matching the original sounds in some cases. This means that when learning a language you have to learn the sounds of the local albabet too. I suspect that the letters *do* match up with the letters in Irish, although I don't actually *know*.

The last one you played - God Save The Queen - that’s not the English national anthem, it’s the BRITISH national anthem. For the whole United Kingdom. England on its own doesn’t have an official national anthem but we do have an unofficial anthem we use at the Commonwealth Games and occasionally international Rugby matches. It’s called Jerusalem (And did those feet in ancient time). You should definitely give that a listen! You missed NORTHERN IRELAND - the fourth part of the UK. Their anthem is Oh Danny Boy. The Isle of Man isn’t actually part of the UK, they’re a Crown Dependency. The Queen is the Lord of Man and the UK is responsible for defence and foreign affairs :)

The best way to see the national anthems are by watching them performed at the start of rugby matches, just RU-vid six Nations national anthems and sit back and enjoy, nothing else like it.

As an Irishman I have to admit ‘flower of Scotland’ number one all day long

Ireland isn’t British, it has no relation to Britain.

If you watch the wales anthem in the wales v England Rugby 2013 then you will understand why it's so damm good

Ireland and the Isle of Man are not part of Britain

England actually doesn't really have an official national anthem. We've been forced to adopt "God save the Queen" as it's the UK national anthem but "Jerusalem", "Land of Hope and Glory", and "I vow to thee, my country" would all be better picks for an English national anthem in my opinion.

Highly recommend listening to some of these being sang as sports events, in particular the welsh and Scottish anthems at the six nations rugby games. Best two anthems in the world

The ‘English’ unofficial national anthem is I think ‘Jerusalem’ and/or ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ (which is the ‘trio’ section of Elgar’s ‘Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 with words he didn’t write. Elgar....HATED it! But they stuck.). To see these sung with real gusto check out ‘The Last Night of the Proms’ and there’ll also be a usually well over the top rendition of ‘Rule Britannia’ to boot!

The UK is a monarchy but its also a democracy lol It's a constitutional monarchy, so while the the Queen is the head of state, we still elect a government and PM. The queen has a long list of powers but only uses them when asked/ at the advice of advisors/PM. Just wanted to make that clear lol

In Irish the fada ( the line over vowels) means that you extend the sound of that letter, that and the fact the the original Irish alphabet didn't have the same number of letters as the Latin alphabet, is what causes it to sound so different to how it was written

We sing to God, Queen and country 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Just to clarify, Britain is a democracy with a monarchy, the queen gets next to no choice in the country descisions but the people and the government do. The queen is more of just a gimic at this point. It is an easy mistake since the queen used to have absoloute power

We stan the queen because she is the longest reigning monarch in the world… She has achieved so much, she served in the army during the war as a mechanic, does so much for charity, she has devoted her life to duty & service to her country, the woman is 95 years old & is still working. Gotta give her respect 🇬🇧 Also Great Britain is a country was founded on christian/catholic ideals, so our anthem is super religious in that way, and the queen is considered super holy.

I’m English & i think the “Flower of Scotland” is a great anthem. Yes it does have lyrics, to get the best versions of all anthems, go to the rugby versions.

Anthems in order 5.god save the queen 4 ise of man 3 Ireland 2. Flower of Scotland 1. Hen wlad fyn nhadau

"Bearna Bhaoil" Pronounced "Barn-a Bwail" Is Irish For "Gap Of Danger" So It's Saying How We'll Endanger Ourselves To Fight The Invaders To Our Country :)

On the British national anthem at the end, they missed out this verse: Lord grant that Marshal Wade, “May by thy mighty aid, “Victory bring. “May he sedition hush, “And like a torrent rush, “Rebellious Scots to crush, “God Save the King."

Ireland isn't British 😳

A couple of things. 1. God save the Queen is the anthem of the UK. The National anthem of England is actually the hymn called ‘Jerusalem.’ 2. The Scottish national anthem is called Flower of Scotland and it does have lyrics, the lyrics tell the story of the first Scottish war of independence. 3. I am a bagpipe player and we do get to breathe 😂. The way it works is that when you blow the air is filtered into the bag and the reed that actually makes the sound. When you need to take a breath, you squeeze the bag and the air reserved in the bag is filtered into the reed so the sound and your fingers keep going while you take a quick breath. It is a lung workout ur right 😂 but we do get to breathe.

Wales is no1, Scotland close second, both sound amazing at the rugby

Wales have one of the best anthems in the world

The Welsh Anthem is the best in the world. I'm English with no Welsh connection, but it sends shivers up my spine. 🏉

Yeah, should definitely try the rugby versions of all these, maybe another video?

Opera: " I just thaught hey're making some random sounds, maybe it's an actual language"😂 Well most are italian & german, but also english, spanish,...

You might be interested to know that the welsh are famous for being good singers, including in opera

[Verse 1] O flower of Scotland When will we see your like again That fought and died for Your wee bit hill and glen [Chorus] And stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again [Verse 2] The hills are bare now And autumn leaves lie thick and still O'er land that is lost now Which those so dearly held [Chorus] And stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again [Verse 3] Those days are passed now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be the nation again

The Scottish anthem is disputed but most people say its Flower of Scotland, if you want a lyric video, I recommend checking out Nina Nesbitt singing it with the Tartan Army

I’m British and we are not subjects. We have a government . We are a free country

The Scottish national anthem actually does have lyrics but I would say they match the vibe you got from just the instrumental. Also not sure about football but at Scottish rugby games the bagpipes are usually there for the anthems, I would also say hearing the welsh sing their anthem in a full stadium is one of my favourite things, it sounds beautiful

Devastated, as a welsh person I thought you would rank ours first 😂😂😂

You should listen to anthems when sung at rugby games, the welsh and Scottish ones are unbelievable when being sung by the whole stadium

"When the bald guy takes the crown" This Sentence aged Worse than Expired Milk.

This is genuinely the first time I have actually listened to the national anthem. It just goes to show how little impact it has on a lot of people.

Her videos are hilarious! She seems a bright girl but her general knowledge is abysmal.

The Scottish anthem is called "Flower of Scotland " and is both a celebration of the victory over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and a lament for the many Scottish soldiers who were killed during the battle. Hence why it may have sounded sad in parts.

The last Prince of Wales was Owain Glyndwr, but his bloodline is still in Wales today. Also Henry VII and Henry VIII were Welsh. Henry VIII grew up in England though, but was born in Wales.

You definitely need to react to more bagpipes, you should check out Loch Lomond, scotland the brave, and watch a pipe band march, it’s powerful.

I think it might be better to hear these anthems before rugby games to see how they are sung live, i find that much more pleasant way of listening to these

I find it funny that so many Scottish people want to become independent because they think the English conquered their land, when in fact it was the Scottish King James VI of Scotland who united the countries, and became King James I of England and Ireland.

Please react to a singalong of Flower of Scotland or the most powerful rendition of Flower of Scotland 🤯

The letters don’t match the pronunciation in *English*, they match them perfectly in Irish though 😉 Same as Welsh uses the Latin alphabet (just as English does) but that has separate pronunciations from Irish and English too. In terms of a call to action song you should check out the French anthem...

Welsh anthem is elite 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If you want to hear the best of the national anthems look up the songs being played before a Rugby match. If you can, find them being sung in their home grounds for best effect.

God save the Queen isn't the only british song that has an American equivalent. The current American national anthem is just the lyrics of a poem put to the music of a drinking song called "To anacreon in heaven" which is about a gentleman's club.

But in all honesty, I want to try & play the bag pipes now 😅

The welsh (especially the men) have a reputation for being excellent singers particularly in opera and choral music. I think the language and the Welsh-English accent contributes as the vowel sounds are good for classical singing. The welsh men also have a long history of mining and the miners would have choirs and sing regularly. (Similar to how black Americans tend to sing well due to the history of work songs and gospel choirs.)

I'm welsh so I think the welsh national anthem is the best. But I respect your ranking .keep up the good videos

We are a democracy but we also have a Queen

Best to hear these anthems being sung at the rugby Internationals

As an Englishman I would prefer land or glory as our anthem 🎶

Did...did you not know that opera is in Italian? But you can also get translated versions so there are English operas or French operas etc

Opera is quite often in Italian! Opera is the style of singing which makes the pronunciation sound the way it does :) - also, Wales used to have a monarchy but the English came along and conquered us in the 13th century. We know have a Prince/Princess of Wales (currently Prince Charles) whereas Scotland, for example share the same queen as England

That’s not the Irish national anthem!

One of my favourite anthem, that isn’t as well known is Jerusalem. I really like that anthem.

The welsh national anthem is much more emotional when hearing it live. Always brings a tear to my eye

Would love to see your reaction to other European anthems

The UK is a democracy 😅 I think the word you were looking for is the US is a republic, the UK is a monarchy - they’re both democracies. (As a side note, I think the UK should be a republic, I’m an anti-monarchist 😂 it’ll never happen tho cos the Royal Family is so intertwined with *everything* in this country that it would be too complicated to separate the Monarchy from the State)

Opera’s a style of singing - you can have opera in any language, although most popular opera’s are in french or italian

i like how you included isle of man

For the Welsh one you should’ve watched the second video that came up with the rugby players it’s so much better when sung in a stadium

CUS OPERA IS JUST 5 HOURS OF GIBBERISH 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. How did you think that??????

Ireland isn’t part of Britain

We normally don't have someone singing lyrics at football games you can sing along if you want, they just play the music

The Queen is the representation of the UK, so you now know what they are singing about.

Ireland is NOT British

Ireland is not British. :)

Oprea originates from Italy and they sing in Italian hence why it sounds like random sounds because they are singing in Italian.

7:02 How does she not know what language the IRISH national anthem is in?

Ireland isnt British its Irish 🙈

13:58 yes, yes it is a language. Otherwise how do other people sing the songs? 😂

Northern Ireland anthem is danny boy but they only play it at the commonwealth games England also has another anthem called Jerusalem

When you play the bagpipes the ‘bag’ is full of air, and the person playing it gently squeezes it out with their arm, allowing them time to take breaths without a pause in the music🙂

The welsh anthem is about never forgetting the ones that fought for our language and freedom

HELLO FAVOUR I LOVE YOUR CONTENT COULD YOU PLEASE REACT TO CATHERINE TATE OFFENSIVE TRANSLATOR P.S I DONT HAVE A LINK TO IT BUT ITS ON RU-vid 😁

Is the Californian national anthem the same the rest of y'all's Mexican national anthem?

A bit of pee came out when she said both Ireland's should have the same national anthem 😂😂

U do realise northern Ireland has its own national Ireland because its a different country from the Republic of Ireland

Where’s the lyrics for the Scottish anthem?

for the Scottish national anthem. there is a purely bagpipes one called "Scotland the brave". but the one you listened to was an intramental version of "o' flower of Scotland" which is the main anthem we sing, but if you google it Scotland has like 4-5 national anthems. (and god save the queen is the antham of England and the UK as a whole)

The English anthem is ‘Jerusalem’ not ‘God save the queen’
