(7,627 posts)That was incredible. A capella, perfect pitch and at the memorial with awesome acoustics. They need to get her to sing at the superbowl instead of getting a famous singer.

This gal does it.

(15,445 posts)Amazingly potent symbolism--an African American woman singing the National Anthem, while standing in the monument to the great man who emancipated her people and kept the nation together.

I'd like to hear more of her.

In addition to nailing it, just to know all the words is impressive. Truly, I could not sing that song by myself without the words.
(I am so glad people came over and appreciated her)

Never heard it sung better.

Any nut could grab the one that woman guard was holding and shoot lots of families before being taken out, with more victims shot in the cross fire.
