Christina Aguilera Sings National Anthem - Game 7 - 2010 NBA Finals
Jimi Hendrix improvising to the US National Anthem. He is playing the guitar like a god and is making it sound like your on a battlefield. RIP Hendrix. If you want to learn more about Jimi Hendrix go to: www.jimihendrix.com to buy the "Valleys of Neptune" Album on iTunes go to: itunes.apple.com Here's a section from Wikipedia: James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942[1] -- September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is often considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music by other musicians and commentators in the industry,[2][3][4] and one of the most important and influential musicians of his era across a range of genres.[5][6][7] After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Hendrix often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.[8] Hendrix was one of the musicians who popularized the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock which he often used to deliver an exaggerated pitch in his solos, particularly with high bends and use of legato. He was influenced by blues artists such as BB King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, and Elmore James,[9][10][11][12] rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis ...

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER - Lyrics Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation. Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land Praise the Power That hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. In 1814 the British invaded the United States, captured Washington, burned its public buildings and then set out to demolish Fort McHenry, near Baltimore on Chesapeake Bay, in a land and sea attack. At this time, a Dr. Wm. Beanes was arrested by the British and taken aboard one of their ships. Francis Scott Key, attorney and friend of Dr. Beanes', took steps to obtain the doctor's release and, while doing so, was detained by the British aboard one of their ships the night before the attack on Fort McHenry. Key witnessed the bombardment, which began before dawn on Sept. 13 and lasted ...

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is sung here by five young ladies at a Texas Tech University Basketball game. You have never heard it performed better than this! An entire arena remains completely silent throughout the song. You could hear a pin drop. Take a moment to listen to this. Trust me, you will not regret it. The two young ladies on the right are six years old. The two in the middle are seven and the one on the left is eight. (Thanks to my mom, 1966CareBear1970, for sharing this video with me.) **UPDATE** 2/3/09-I've done some research, and I found out that these talented girls call themselves the Cactus Cuties.

Here's an embarrassing attempt at singing the Star Spangled Banner while playing the iPhone Ocarina! Submission to Smule's "This Contest (Still) Blows Contest", on this day of inauguration. :) For those of you unfamiliar with Smule's Ocarina application on the iPhone, it's an instrument with which you can create music by blowing into the microphone and fingering on the four key holes displayed on the screen. In case you're wondering, I am actually singing and playing the ocarina (by blowing air and fingering along) at the same time; I did not pre-record the individual parts. :) It's not as difficult as it may seem-- you should try it too~!
