Demi did way better , Ariana sung it like it was all about her singing with no passion at all. By Demi did it with so much passion and it was so pure and her voice is just a lot better and mature
What exactly was wrong with this performance? She was singing the National Anthem in front of lots of people AND on live television and must've been nervous as fuck, but she still killed it!!!!
Wait holllld the FUCK up, can we talk about the way she literally sounded like an angel singing from heaven at 1:09 when she sing "Gave Proof " oh my fucking goodness. I'm a die hard demi family, but an even bigger die hard music fan and I haven't ever heard someone sing like.she sang that part at 1:09. I kid you not I've replayed that part over a hundred times and each time it blows my mind, I can't believe how angelic she sounded especially in that part. And than the way the camera moved, and the wind brushed her bangs out of her face when she sang that part, everything about that part is amazing. That's honestly the most beautiful fucking notes I've ever heard. she saaaaaang that SHIT
+Bryaan Cast I'm not an American (hopefully someday) but everytime I listen to this song, I have goosebumps, and listening to Demi singing this one, goosebumps from the start till the end haha....she's just damn amazing :)
Demi's voice has definitely changed, but she's talented and can sing nonetheless. You all should probably go look up the older version of her singing this. It's a better version. Just type in 'demi lovato national anthem', and click the first video. You won't be disappointed.
She was nervous, but it was still outstanding and breathtaking ... I was even speechless for a little while ... she's improved so much since she last sang the National Anthem in 2008!!! I love Demi!!!
I wish I knew how to reply on the RU-vid app but sadly, I don't, this one is for Taneisha. You ask for rude people not to reply to your comments and yet you can sit here and say that she fucked up the national anthem and that she has done nothing to "give back" and neither of those seem rude to you? And yes here I am, a fan, defending her because she deserves it. Not only is she a fantastic musician but she seems to be a more than decent human being that has had her fair share of struggles. She has been a mentor to children who suffer with depression, she created the Lovato Treatment Scholarship, she has supported several charities and who spends their 21st birthday doing charity work in Kenya? Give credit where credit is due.
No, I just dislike ignorant people who tear others down that they don't know. Just like you just did to me, so congrats on being an awful human being. Have a nice day.
I cried and got goosebumps watching it that day and I know the same is gonna happen tonight when she honors America with her angelic voice again. Everyone needs to watch!
It's pretty strange that I'm British and I don't know our national anthem, but I know the American one, only because of Demi. Jeez, I think I need to be a bit more patriotic.
Its God save our gracious queen Long live our noble queen God save the queen Send her victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the queen Theres another bit that I dont know but thats normally the only part thats sung anyway
I think the key is too high for her. She's obviously straining her voice and her vibrato is way off. Very evident on the word "FREE". She's trying to fake a vibrato using her throat, but comes off very odd. She's basically not a very good singer, period.
Kristine Espiritu Well, if she became an X-Factor judge based on singing talent, then half of American would also qualify as a judge on X-Factor. So obviously that's not the reason. The reason is that she's famous, and you don't necessarily need to be a good singer to be famous. With auto-tune and all the technology they have today, they can even make a barking dog sound descent. And talking about X-Factor, why don't you go and have a look at her flop performance there where she humiliated herself in front of the contestants she had been criticizing.
Excuse me! If u think Ariana did better that demi than ur wrong! Coz both are amazing and btw if u say this things about demi fans will make ur life miserable!!
tahani reza both did really good. Ariana Grande personally I think did better, and she has a lot more fans.... I guess I dont have anything else to say... LOL
Who gives a shit about who sang better, at least they got the opportunity to sing the national anthem :) Both did amazing even if ariana sounded better you really couldn't understand wat she was saying.
She does an amazing job at portraying the emotion that this country has gone through to get to where we are today. Demi is truly amazing and one of the most inspiring people out there
Just because one person on the x factor told Demi they don't use autotune while she does doesn't mean she uses it while live or whatever some people think. Every artist uses some sort of auto tune on an album doesnt mean they use it live. Demi lovato has pure natural born talent and she uses it every concert, performance, etc. She is the definition of an excellent,excelling artist and this performance clearly proves it. Great job,Demi!
