This isn’t the first time we’ve brought you Cornelison singing the National Anthem in Chicago, and I can’t think of a better man to sing it on the 10th anniversary of 9/11:

Wow. Aside from it being just truly great singing, I think the crowd was cheering someone finally singing the anthem without putting all kinds of crazy runs and extra notes. This guy just SUNG it. And the crowd appreciated it straight forward.

That was powerful, but not beautiful. I've listened to four little girls bring more life to the banner than most. Whitney's performance was top knotch. I agree many try too hard, and inevitably ruin it.

looks like most of the stadium is filled with "bitter clingers" itching to vote out the Marxist in Chief! Excellent Chicago!

He sings the Anthem before the Blackhawks hockey game at the United Center.

You cannot think straight it's so loud. Fans going nuts. Really incredible

I KNOW!!! The first time I saw it, I just about died, I laughed so hard because it is SO true! :-) I just had to post it here in response to your comment LOL. It was the first thing I thought of. Thanks Jaynie.

If that song doesn't put a lump in your throat, nothing will.

I have to admit I had to look him up to know who he is, but my goodness he's got a voice! I don't watch football, hockey is more my game (go figure) so the Black Hawks I know, the Bears, not so much as far as watching pre games go. Thanks for posting this Scoop. It's nice to hear our National anthem sung so beautifully.

Gazowie !! What a Patriot!

This was from the heart 110%

Even Paul Krugman might be converted to praise the USA if he listened to this-

Maybe even Obummer might tear up - BUT I doubt it since he didn't write the song

himself

I just listened to Jordin Sparks sing it in Arizona and after hearing Cornelison, it was about as meh as it could get.

He can really belt it out. At the end of the Anthem, he sings and holds Brave what seems forever.

And there's no question that he put everything he had into singing the National Anthem. I love how the crowd cheers through the whole song.
