Graham Family Reacts to Chris Stapleton Sings the National Anthem 

I love how he allowed the words to shine!

Y'all did great family! Appreciate the love.

I enjoy your channel very much. There are "Americans" who claim they hate America, but they refuse to leave. That speaks for itself. Great reaction.

Come to the US. You'll fit right in.

Hope your daughter did well with her exams! And thank you for your reactions and respect to our national anthem. 🙂

I love when he sings the blues style of music. And the fact that he can sing the National Anthem in a blues style is amazing.

When the Anthem is played, the only noise that you should hear, is people singing along softly in the background. I know that you have learned the "meaning" of the words, and why it brings Americans together.

Chris Stapleton is out of this world. He’s one of the best singers I’ve ever heard.

I loved watching you guys and your reactions I'm glad you can feel our love for our country and our flag america isn't what it used to be but our flag and our anthem is all we got to believe in anymore so we hold it dear to our hearts. God bless you guys and thank you for you thoughts on this!!!!

Troy Kotsur was signing national anthem using American Sign Language. He is a deaf actor who has been awarded an Oscar & an Academy Award.

Did y'all notice that Chris didn't wear his signature hat for the anthem ❤️🫡🇺🇲... first all female fly over as well!

If I remember that flyover was done by all female pilots celebrating 50years of naval aviators.

You and your family would be welcomed w/open arms here in the US. :)

You're not American so it's okay BUT, also hats off during the Anthem ALWAYS!!! If you noticed Chris didn't have his cowboy hat on ❤ but GREAT REACTION!

I love visiting with you all thank you again for sharing your time with us.

Best rendition I’ve ever heard. Makes me cry every time.

Leah is right to study...she is hoping to be an exchange student to the United States! Awesome.

I'm a Navy vet. I cry everytime I watch this video. But then, the flyby with the ALL WOMAN FLYOVER--so much pride for them. He brought a new respect for the song and shows the world the pride we have. Yes, he was signing. LOVE YOUR REACTION. I watched your original reaction--I can't see where the grief comes from. Keep on reacting!!!

Thank you for your respect.

How we love you all! 🥰

You are so right, most of us love our country. Great video!

You are correct, The man was doing ASL (American Sign Language). I studied ASL as I was a teacher for SPED (Special Education), then when I taught the regular classes, The students LOVED learning sign language. They wanted to know how to spell their names and how to say "Hi. How are you? and then their favorite songs - It's a good skill to have, never looks bad on a resume to be fluent in ASL (or any countries sign language). It isn't nearly as hard as it looks and can actually be fun.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, a U.S. Navy band aboard the USS Nevada had just started playing the national anthem. Being aboard one of the prime targets by the Japanese, you would think that most people would run for cover but the band played on. They did play a little faster. Even while gunfire and explosions happened around them, they played on. It's one of those things especially in the military that you don't stop the national anthem once it is started and you stop everything you are doing to show respect. The national anthem is tied very much with the American flag. While the flag is just a piece of cloth and the anthem is just a song, it's what it stands for that is so meaningful. Representing both the sacrifices of the past and the hopes of our future as a nation.

So much love to your amazing family 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇸🇰

😊❤...thanks for your emotional response to this meaningful anthem. Straight from the heart.🇱🇷💯

Any time you want to come to America, you are very welcome!

This year the flyover was done by all female pilots too! Chris's version sounds like Francis Scott Key meant it to sound.

Not too late to move to the USA. We would welcome y’all with open arms!

Take a Knee and LOVE

Chris grew up about 30 mins from my home in Kentucky. He was a good football player in high school.

Yes, Chris can definitely come to the cookout. He covered Metallicas Nothing else matters and absolutely killed it. also covered prince Aretha Franklin and James Brown… same thing

That SuperBowl was the first time I'd heard the anthem sang in a bluesy version, and I loved it!

Even though he sang it in a blues style, he still sang it pretty much like it was written, unlike a lot of them who put their own ‘’spin’’ on it.

I truly don't know how to express to ppl from other countries or backgrounds how much pride Americans have for our country. Me for sure.. my parents raised me to love our Flag, love our Military, and our country.. I don't think that's a bad thing.. I've raised my children the same.. and mine our 36 to 24.. There's nothing wrong with loving you country and hearing your National Anthem.. no matter what country you're from.. love it and respect it .. if you can.. Their are many in my country .. USA.. that don't respect it.. I don't like it.. but they have the rights in this country to disrespect it.. But it hurts hard.. They don't respect the men and women who have died for their rights .

Y’all need to watch…..” The National Anthem- as you’ve never heard it “…….it tell the origins of the song. It’s an amazing story, very educational.

52 years old and still get goose bumps when I hear the national anthem

I found your channel a month or two ago and it has become one of my favorite channels to watch. Y’all have a beautiful family and I love seeing your reactions to our country. I would love to see some more content from your country as well. It looks beautiful in the mushroom foraging video.

I don’t think it’s a big deal to pause it, especially if you’re telling everyone how much you love it.

IMO... THE BEST RENDITION EVER!!!

What a fantastic family! A friend just showed me your reaction to the 10 most beautiful states in America (I live on #6, Washington) and I’ve been binge-watching your videos for 5 hours now. It’s always nice to see how others see America. I’ve traveled to London, Berlin, Israel, Egypt and other places around the world. South Africa and Slovakia have always been on my list. One day, maybe. I think I may have gotten my family hooked on your channel as well. That said, keep up the great work!

Don't feel bad pausing. While I agree that it may be disrespectful, I also believe we have to understand how RU-vid reactions and copyright claims work and be forgiving of non Americans if they commit a faux pas. I appreciate the attempt to be respectful this time just as much as I appreciate the fact that you would even listen to our anthem being performed in the first place. Hope that people weren't too harsh and everyone tries to operate with some love and understanding if there are any opportunities to positively engage in a correction. Thank you, again, Graham family for sharing your exploration of the world with us.

2 best ever of all times.. the USA national anthem.. Whitney and Chris... hands down. I remember Whitney giving me chills.Never thought anyone would come close.. Chris did.

We absolutely absolutely love our flag and our national anthem. I’ve heard it 1 million times and it still gets you right in the heart and it brings tears to my eyes, especially when Chris sings it.

I love hearing Chris Stapleton sing--the National Anthem was on another level!

Great reaction, what a great little family you have. I love the University of Utah sweatshirt your wife is wearing in the thumbnail for this video! Go Utes

Love this guy

Good job homie. I think I might have been one of the ppl that gave you grief can't say I apologize but I think you get it now. Anyway love your content

Best National Anthem ever!!

There are a lot of wonderful places in the world. I feel very blessed to live in the U.S. I think there was nothing wrong that you interrupted the anthem because you were analyzing your reaction to it. The fact that you listen to it, is a sign of respect in itself. I do agree with you the culture of some countries is less open to new arrivals then others.

It is never to late to come to America!

I moved to the USA when I was 51 and my son 19. My husband had died 9 years before and my older son one year before. If you have a job, you probably will have health insurance, so that’s the key. You are still young. Go for it!

Believe me Jono, you and your family would feel welcome in the US and would feel like you are surrounded by friends and family almost anywhere you go. Kat would fit right in as there are plenty of Eastern European immigrants here. Their accent, fashion, and appearance usually give them away very quickly to anyone who has visited that region.

The ONLY reason I turned on the game that day was to hear Chris sing the anthem. He did not disappoint this female veteran. 🤙 The All Women Flyover was a bonus surprise!

As an American, I can say that pausing during the National Anthem doesn't offend me, however I prefer no pausing. I can understand why people may get upset, though. If you haven't already watched and reacted, please do the video of "The Star Banner As You've Never Heard It " It explains in great detail just WHY Americans are so proud of our flag and anthem! Thanks, LOVE your reactions!

I hope you guys and your little dog are all doing well. God bless you all

Enjoy visiting with you!

Beautiful rendition, he has a great voice. If it’s your hearts desire to come to the U.S. I hope that’s achieved one day. I’m sure your family would fit in with the crowd here. I enjoy your videos and from what I’ve seen you have a great family. Hugs from a grandma in San Diego, CA.

Check out a band called The Steeldrivers. They are a blugrass band that used to be fronted by Chris Stapleton. They have many great songs. I would suggest "Long Way Down" for a starter.

@GrahamFamilyReacts great reaction just sub’d! PLEASE react to “Star Spangled Banner As You’ve Never Heard It Before”. After reacting to it, you all will understand why we, Americans, respect & love our flag so much. Thanks! Oh, by the way, Whitney Houston pre-recorded in a studio the Anthem and was lip syncing at the Super Bowl. Chris’s was LIVE. CHRIS sang the best National Anthem I’ve EVER HEARD!!! Thanks again friends!

That was also the first all female flyover.

If I'm not mistaken tell Garron (if I spelled wrong Sorry) that was the first time a flyover was done by all women pilots. The older you get the more you appreciate the national anthem! My want to turn volume a little up or be closer to microphone.

To understand why that flag makes grown men cry...to understand why that flag means SO much.... Do a reaction to the movie "Taking Chance"

I'm old fashioned. I expect the anthem to be sung as a march.

So beautiful! Sorry for the grief you got, it’s out of respect for our fallen, but you are not from America, so you’re off the hook! Thank you for appreciating our Countries Patriatism! (Been kinda embarrassed of us lately) hopefully that get better! We appreciate our British brothers and sister as well!! God Bless America and God bless you as well… from Texas!! Happy Father’s Day!! #trump24 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱

There's one of Calla Smith singing The National Anthem in Navajo that you might like also...

Watch the “ National Anthem As You’ve Never Heard Before “. It give more to why the American people have such respect for the flag many people have no idea why it holds so much importance to us. The best part is that it really doesn’t to this day have no side to politics, It is our as Americans regardless of our political views. ❤❤❤❤❤😊

No worries, you guys are all very honorable and a very respectful (& thus respected) family. I appreciate your always entertaining,fun, informative & positive videos. Each of you are super cool 🌎✌️🤘💖🏆😜🤔🏎️💯❤️🤍💙💛😎

Great video much RESPECT to this talented human… Whitney version Impeccable hands dwn Beyonce version Amazing !

It was good. Very good. But Whitney's version is incomparable. Her voice and the situation at the time can not be replicated. It still brings tears to my eyes. Our Anthem is very hard to sing well. The lyrics were a poem written at the Battle of Fort McHenry during our War of 1812 against the British and the tune was actually a British drinking tune. The two fit together perfectly and were meant for each other. I would love to see you guys react to Whitney's version. There are versions out there where the TV shot is totally masked, but seeing her is not the point. Hearing her is where it is at. The only time I've ever watched the performance in full without RU-vid's stupid restrictions was during the live Super Bowl broadcast of the Super Bowl. Every other time I close my eyes and just sing along while the tears stream down my cheeks. Find a way, Jonah. You and your family will be better for it.

THAT IS MY COUNTRY!!❤❤❤

Our National Anthem brings all Americans and armed forces together as one. And each arm of the military has its own “anthem.” Please consider viewing “National Memorial Day 2024 The Armed Forces Medley” performed by the National Symphony Orchestra. It’s short.

Definitely not disrespectful to pause. Its your choice and anyone who gets offended by a pause its putting their own personal problems on it. Its a video and the fact that someone from another country is even interested in hearing the US anthem is beyond amazing. My fellow americans need to calm down imo. PS time to show them whitney houstons!

You also have to take your hat off and put it over your heart whilst the anthem is going…..hahaha😅. You should watch anthem during Chicago blackhawks game (hockey) …we fans just scream through the whole anthem. It started after a tragedy and we really wanted the world to hear us.

NEVER disrespect the flag, NEVER let it hit the ground.

You might look at Lexi Walker's version. Very good!!

Yeah Americans see it very disrespectful to pause or talk during our anthem. It's a respect thing for those who died for our country.

You better take that hat off next time you hear the National Anthem 😂 Just kidding bro. You have a Beautiful family

Sign language for the deaf.

You should show your son Patrick Mahomes highlights. All little guys love and go crazy for his talent.

As an Army and Navy veteran, I am very picky about the National Anthem and true, pausing, talking, kneeling, etc., during the anthem is disrespectful. However, I see no issue with pausing during the anthem when doing a reaction video as RU-vid tends to remove videos otherwise. That being said, I will never understand why people consider this the best version. Yes, it is good, but not that good. Number one, IMO, is, and always will be, Whitney Houston, followed by Pentatonix. Thanks for another great reaction! 😀💕😀

Praying for your daughter’s exams!

Try Whitney Houston's (not taking away from this beautiful performance). This one made me well up but that one makes me cry like a baby.

I think this is best rendition so far. IMHO

Please react to The Star Spangled Banner as you've never heard it before.

People don’t realize you that this was the first all female fly over.

You need to look into the creation of this beautiful anthem. It puts a huge light on what these words mean. Love your videos, sorry to hear about the string of bad news there but I'm sending positive vibes your way. Keep up the great work!!

You should watch the video ( The Star Spangled Banner as You have never heard it)😢❤ it will explain why Americans feel the way The do about our flag and National Anthem 😢❤

I love our channel. Please don't take the "pausing in the middle" comments personally. Even the least patriotic among us Americans will give someone the stink eye if they talk during it. Its in our DNA

Pause that shit all you want bro. Haters gonna hate.

React to Whitney Houston who had the best anthem for the Superbowl. Rest her soul

*Describing goosebumps as “ants crawling all over my neck” is he most South African thing you’ve ever said*

hey guys can you react to ..admiral mcraven leaves audience speechless

Does everyone get blood transfusions where you live? Something is up with that

I dont see any of these "patriotic" sentiments when Americans are booing other nation's anthems. Especially in international sporting events. We want respect for our anthem, we should show the same respect for the others as well. More often than not, when the other country's national anthem is being played, you hear boos, whistles, or disrespectful talking. We should chastise those who are disrespectful towards other nations, if we wanna get on our high horse and ask for respect as well.

You can pause your video whenever you want to. Don't let the snowflakes dictate how you run your channel. Love you guys.

Being 'offended' is a personal choice. Nobody is responsible for 'being offended' except for those deciding to be offended. Let the 'karens' be offended, and maybe someday they will realize that it is only valid when it is intentional! YOU DO NOT NEED TO APOLOGIZE to KAREN

Chris is great but the best renditions are by Whitney Houston and Marvin Gaye.

Watch "the star spangled banner" as you've never seen it...and you will understand if you listen without talking!!

You should know, I actually was doing the singing, Chris was just lip syncing ;P j/k
