You laughing... while men where crying - because they know what has given to them, their right to play and coach the game they love and gives the the opportunity to live your life with Freedom is quite disrespectful. Why can I say this.... because I have served!!! God Bless America!!!
That's because you read my laughter as malicious if you actually knew me you would know it's not that deep. If he was my friend I would tease him to his face but still have his back. I never lose my sense of humor even when things go wrong in my life. Life's too short to take it too seriously.
@POLO REACTS haven't gone through the whole video yet, but what a self-serving response. You could have acknowledged that ANYONE laughing WOULD be disrespectful, but that isn't what you were doing. And then maybe even thank them first their service. I'm Canadian btw, and really did enjoy you before this comment - yeah, I'm at the laughing part now... 💔
You are absolutely right. Once we take this oath to our Flag and our Country no one can take that away! Mine was August 18, 1968 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Semper Fi Brother
I live in Australia and watched a documentary about the origins of the American national Anthem, OMG I cried no wonder you are so proud of those words❤️
Every time I hear the national anthem I cry. This is the best SB anthem ever. Yes I know background story and I’m glad somebody did put it on RU-vid so others would learn why we love our flag so much and what it stands for. Thank you for your kind words.
I believe that Chris Stapleton's iteration is the only one that brings so many people to overflowing tears with the reverence, passion, soul, gospel and emotions to the American National Anthem. He brought "Reverence" to the Superbowl LVII.
Especially when America means the world to you and you know what it means to be American and what it took make and takes to keep America, you f*cking cry. God bless our country and f*ck everyone who doesn't like it.
A lot of singers put so much vocal gymnastics in their renditions of this song, they make it all about themselves. Chris said "I can do all that too, here's a taste", but he also showed restraint so as not to overshadow the song and the moment.
that was what made it magical. he took you on a journey. He gave you a little, then he gave you a lot, then he took, it back. Those runs were killing me. He earned a few million new fans on sunday.
Damn..y'all think the Eagles coach Nick was crying? Man, I was straight up fell back in my chair, hand on my heart, talkin leaking. Hell, I'm still blubberin! Wow
I'm a Veteran and I was crying during that as well as when they played Johnny Cash's "Ragged Old Flag" earlier in the pre-game. They always touch my heart-strings. I put this version on top of my list right before Whitney Houston's Olympics and Super Bowl versions. I totally forgot about Marvin Gaye's version. I'll have to go find a recording of that now to listen again. Cheers!
I love Ragged Old Flag. I cry every time no matter who's around. Anybody who says sh*t about my tears just plain doesn't have enough love for this country and doesn't or can't truly fathom what it means to be America. The values and morals she's built upon and stands for, the blood that's been shed to make her and keep her, the families who are forever missing someone who fought for her, and the lesser way life could be anywhere but in America are things I think of every Godd@mned day and that everyone should think about and hold dear to their hearts although many don't. "For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know." God bless this beautiful America and Semper Fi until I die.
I have a son over sea in the military and every time I hear this it brings tears to my eyes because he's out there defending our country and I couldn't be more proud of him
The pride standing on that sideline would have had me in tears also. I put this right up there with Whitney's version because his voice actually sounds like America. If the country could sing, this is what I imagine it was sound like.
What's amazing about Christ Stapleton is that his music unites all Americans. It's country but with soul; it's red dirt but with the blues. Whites and blacks can cry together when we all recognize authentic beauty.
Just a beautiful voice he is the best performer who ever did this song he had the players and audience feeling proud to be a American and I can tell you I am very very proud to be slamrrican no need to laugh at the players crying
I feel this is #1. I've listend to them all back to back. Chis#1 Jennifer #2 Whitney #3. It's the depth, style, tone, emotional appeal etc that did it for me. The song was arranged in such a way that it took you for a ride on a bike along the beach through the snowy mountains through the Savanah ending at the parade!!!
I give the Eagles Coach a pass for crying. I heard somewhere before hand he has always pictured himself standing there on the sidelines, right before the Super Bowl, listening to the National Anthem, and how emotion that would be.
I ALWAYS cry with this song. Every time. I always feel the pride and love for the great country we have privilege to call "home." Home of the free because of the brave....
I think more ppl would if they knew the story behind it. Francis Scott Key witnessed patriots pay the ultimate price to keep the flag upright despite knowing it was certain death. And to see ppl spit in the face of those patriots who died so we could be free are despicable subhumans.
Chris just reaffirmed why I love this country so much. We are far from perfect but my goodness we are blessed to live in this wild experiment that defied all odds called America.
I love it. A man that rode the school bus with him in high school says Chris sang all the time. Said he had that voice he sang all the time. A few months ago when those horrible flash floods hit eastern Kentucky, Chris got a concert set up in a week for a concert at Rupp Arena for the people. He got Patti Loveless, Dwight Yoakum, Ricky Skaggs and other singers from eastern Kentucky. They raised over 2 million dollars. I saw him on the local news. He had his hair tied back and was helping distribute water and other items. Chris and Patti sang, You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. at the CMA's award show. She's a little older than when she recorded it. That was the best performance at the award show. They came from a little farther north in eastern Kentucky than I live.
I have followed Chris for about 3 years now. You have to listen to his Tennessee Whisky. It is phenomenal 👏. Chris grabbed everyone's soul with his fist and starred into it. He had everyone in the palm of his hand ❤️ I will always love this man. ❤️
Polo, I am a fan of yours. This is only song that should NEVER be interrupted in order to make comments. That is our "National Anthem", our anthem is sacrosanct. You listen, hand over heart ( as I was taught), then you comment whatever you wish. Men and women have sacrificed their lives so that we can enjoy the Super Bowl, the least we can do is listen with respect our National Anthem. I am perfectly aware of our 1st Amendment rights, but lives are sacrificed for that as well. Be Blessed.
Brother, yes Chris is AMAZING LOVING YOUR COMMENT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL AND POSITIVE. CHRIS PERFORMANCE WAS A TEAR JERKER. BRAVO, BRAVOS . POLO,❤❤❤ THANKS AGAIN❤❤😊 AGAIN
i thing he managed to accomplish making it his own, without seeming like he was stealing your attention away from the reverence you should be feeling at that moment! he gave it heart, sang it SO beautifully, but obviously avoided putting on a performance as serious ad we all know he could! FN LOVED IT!!!
Chris Stapleton singing made me feel like I was back in Afghanistan, plate carrier, waiting for that 108mm blow out, American flag in hand screaming FUCK YAHHHHH!!!
I only saw Marvin Gay's performance last night, for the first time. Yes, that was one for the books as was Marvin Gay. Thanks for reacting to this favorite... And for the mention of not jumping to conclusions about appearance. Lessons being learned.
It's CHURCH! The guitar tune has an organ feel to it, this is soul and church... He didn't try to over sing it, Whitney was the best singer, but this is my favorite version because it's sung in almost pure reverence
@@Kevinschart It's nothing to do with liking to be offended. Your statement doesn't apply here because Linda's right. The appreciation for what it means to be America should bring tears to anyone and there's nothing funny about it. It's like laughing cuz someone's tearing up at a funeral and saying, "I knew someone was gonna cry" and when someone gets mad about the laughter a twit like you says, "Relax."
@@jamesmackiii8418 No, food, water, doctors, and self defense keep us alive. Laughing at someone's tears which are caused by knowing that men die so that we can continue to live isn't what keeps us alive. Save dark or weird humor for something else.
@@fyou2327 dark and weird humor? lol this isn't even the slightest bit dark. You really think his intention was to disrespect the Anthem or dead soldiers? Get your ballsack out of your throat and lighten up. This is coming from a proud American too.
I agree with you on the halftime show. She’s pregnant so she barely moved. The dancers were really good. Chris Stapleton alone can move people to tears. He also duets beautifully with his vocally gifted wife. Tennessee Whiskey; This is a Man’s World are two great starting points. 🌹
Chris Stapleton is an amazing singer song writer!! That was incredible!! Lady GaGa sang it last year I think, and if you haven't heard that one, you should, she was also incredible!!
KC, MO born and raised. Whenever we listen to the National Anthem, I'm always waiting for the line "and the home of the... Chiefs!!" Those that turned up for the Super Bowl, didn't disappoint. You can hear it right at the end 🤣
Yes, the absolute precision in timing required for those jets to be on target when they should be is not an easy feat. It's called "TOT" (Time On Target) and takes an extraordinary amount of different factors, all mathematically coordinated, to have them arrive at that point in the airspace...at that exact second. It is practiced constantly and used in all air to ground engagements, be they warfare, military ceremonies, funerals, and Super Bowl's. Everything from their airspeed and vectoring to the target, to Sky-Harbor airport stopping all air traffic for them to pass through...all of it needs to be precisely timed Consider they are traveling at say...400mph, they need to line up and be in-formation @many miles out. If they miscalculate any of this at 4-5 hundred miles an hour...they either don't arrive in time...or they arrive too early. And they only get one chance.
I can’t believe that you are laughing while our Nation’s Anthem is being sung. The players are reacting to the Anthem like I do every time I hear it sung. It brings me to tears. This will be the first and last time I visit your channel! That’s disgusting of you!
I agree I never knew of him before but it was the best I’ve heard!!! Goosebumps & and loving tears! Breathtaking!!! And since I’m an eagles fan so that call! 😩
Look up Steel Drivers. I think around 2008. Not long after that he went solo. There used to be RU-vid videos of him singing the songs he has written that famous country music artist recorded. His version blows them away. Enjoy
Chris did an amazing rendition. His voice is so soulful. This is my 1st choice for a male's voice. Whitney is my top #1 all around choice. Definitely #1 female vocalist with Lady GaGa's rendition ( at Pres. Biden's Inaugural) as my #2 female choice. These are the 3 renditions in feel have captured the essence of what the song is saying. In case You missed it....those 4 fighter jets that passed over the stadium were all pioleted by women.
Hello Polo. I have gone back and listened to Marvin Gaye sing the American National Anthem. Marvin sounds less soul full and much less from the heart. His jazz version does not cut it. I did not see anyone shed a tear. It is just not as emotional, or heart felt. I would vote like millions of other for Chris Stapleton as the GOAT and would invite him back for a back-to-back performance!
This is why we have the freedoms that we have because of our military to all the military servicemen and women thank you for your services this is what the songs about anybody laughing need to go to another country and see how tough it is look at that basketball player I bet you now she likes America Chris Stapleton is one of the best singers I am a big fan of his
I looked to see if there were recordings of Terry Kath (Chicago) or Ray Charles singing this. Chris Stapleton sang it just as I would have imagined if these giants had. ❤
