Elizabeth Hughes, 8 years old, Norfolk Admirals Game, Scope Arena

Bet the cackling woman feels like a real jackass now.

That made me cry. *promote

Pfft, My lil cousin can sing better than that. Any of you guys hockey fans?

she did all the hard parts for us... difficult not to see it through to the end!

(... yes, I was singing here at home)

What is this feeling coming over blankfist? Fuzzy... tingling... emotion?!

For all the shit we see that makes us sick of humanity, it's a beautiful thing to see something nice and moving like this.

Thumbs up to that girl and the whole arena. Now I just have to go get this thing out of my eye...

...to be fair, I doubt the lady was laughing AT the girl, probably at the tech who screwed up. Some people just react wrong to sudden, unexpected situations. It's obviously not anything the girl did.

That was pure class from the audience. Well done!

This is awesome. This is the Real America the world wants to believe in and be like.

It is a nice anthem, always liked it. I can't imagine having to sing your national anthem at sporting events though, that does strike me as weird.

Her melody and words were WAY off. That isn't even close to "the star-spangled banner"

I wish the crowd would've sang the whole thing from the beginning. They seemed to be more on key.

*sports

Did she even know her mic went out? Amazing that she kept going with the crowd. What happened after this? I hope she didn't cry!

Adding video to channels (Sports) - requested by ant.

Rip on her all you would like, siftrolls... This young lady was just featured on NPR and finished up from where she had left off and gave a dazzling finish. Bravo!

Up vote for run on sentences

@rottenseed: I agree with you, the OTHER girl (not the one in THIS video, but the one that Aniatario linked) isn't singing as well as this girl did. That's just my opinion, I'm not trying to dig on her just to be a jerk. On the FLIP side of that coin, Aniatario did NOT say that his link WAS the girl singing the SAME song, just that she sang BETTER. The youtube comments in his link say "Kahnawake Mohawk Kwahara:ni Kieran Jacobs gives her rendition of the Canadian and American anthems at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston on Jaunuary 18, 2010."

@everyone else who think rottenseed is being a jerk (which he's not, I think there's just a bit of confusion going on here), he's not. It's an 8 year old girl who tried her best, but really, if it's a NATIONAL ANTHEM, wouldn't it make more sense to ALWAYS have everyone sing it from the start all the way through? Of course the crowd sounds better than the girl, she's not a professional singer, but I, myself, sure as hell wouldn't have the guts to do what she did. Good on her for being brave! That TOO is part of what it is to be an American.

All that being said, I just realized what a horrible thing it is to name your kid 'Kahnawake Mohawk Kwahara:ni Kieran Jacobs.' How the hell is that kid going to fit that on a drivers license? My name is K. Mohawk K. K. Jacobs? Seriously, what in the world! hehehe

Yeah.. as long as she wasn't a muslim 8 year old!

Kahnawake, is the name of the town she's from. It's her Mohawk reserve. People in town call themselves "Kahnahwake Mohawks."

And, the vid I linked was a little old, she's gotten alot better. I think some of her other songs are up.

Yea it is not an easy anthem to sing, that's for sure. But I love it, and every time I hear it I cant help but sing along. Makes me proud to be an American. But in the end isn't that what every anthem is supposed to do?

To those trolling her, I'd like to see you at eight singing the song in an arena with hundreds of people. Most adults would have a hard time keeping tune, let alone an 8 year old.

It's called Pedophilia.
