Chris Brown sounds terrible live

lol i thought the same thing. this kid sounds like he can sing on larry platt (pants on the ground guys) level, but not past first round of american idol.

This was just terrible. It was..meh Keep in mind the National Anthem is one of the hardest songs to sing. Weren't they going to change the anthem to another song, I forgot the name, because it was much easier"?

This was just terrible.

thought it was ironic that he was at a boxing event

Chris Brown singing the anthem was telling because just a few minutes later Floyd put hands on a bitch! hehehe, almost spiy my drink when i saw that, hehe

He is terrible. Studio magic gives him his money or like previosuly mentioned the adlibbing made it worse.

He sounded bad on TV also

^not all R&B singers go over the top, hitting high notes for no reason. Babyface at 50 years old could still sing better than Chris Brown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHTSbYxXCHY

it's true, and too many singers of the national anthem do what i call 'stunt singing', where they go into vocal acrobatics at the end of the last word on every second verse. not out of soul, or feeling the song, just to showcase whatever technical vocal prowness they apparently have. chris brown, who was flat and off-key to begin with, did it so many times, it was honestly like a parody or comedy sketch about this kind of singing. i remember thinking, i can't believe this is so ridiculous and bad. maybe that cat was just nervous. but all singers, especially r&b singers, got something to prove with all that vocalizing on a word, these american idol singers, its just useless. Otis Redding had more soul then all of them and never did that shit once!

on the real they should've booted chris brown off the stage and put in mariah carey since she was in the crowd... at least we all know she can actually sing live!!

What!!! Man this shit was so hot, I remember at the time they were selling bootleg vhs' on the streets of this. Shit was crazy Son. wow, that was excellent. Do they sing live at the Superbowl nowadays, I remember reading somewhere that they just mime the performance now that they have already recorded. Is that true or bullshit?

Why does every mo'f*cker who sings our anthem sing the notes in wavy manner, vibrating every note? They over do the damn song. They sing it like a lamb being put in a fire, screaming for help.

The fat guy from Pavlik vs Taylor 2 was not bad, not spectacular, but at least he kept it simple.

Bullshit. Whitney Houston; Giants/Bills Superbowl. Best national anthem of all time. To bad she smokes crack now. Actually i thought Jordan Sparks in Superbowl was the best

Bullshit. Whitney Houston; Giants/Bills Superbowl. Best national anthem of all time. To bad she smokes crack now. I meant at these big fight bills! But never heard her sing that one.

When he was singing, he saw the ghost of Rihanna, poor kid was scared to death. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/11/03/art.rihanna.dark.side.jpg

Tell me about it, also whats with American people? they act like its a talent contest cheering and screaming their appreciation Lol, its just some person singing an anthem, shakes head. :lol1: yeah and just smt I've noticed, but I think the more famous the anthem singers are the worse it actually sounds

I hate that shit. It's like something singers do when they know they can't make notes, so they drag them on and on and on. Sounds so amateurish.

He absolutely butchered that anthem. Whats with all the hanging onto every note? that made it sound worse not better. I hate that shit. It's like something singers do when they know they can't make notes, so they drag them on and on and on. Sounds so amateurish.
