Knew she was dying but still showed all those folks how it's done with style and grace RIP.
AMEN AND AMEN
No she didn't that's not how you do the national anthem that's honestly disrespectful
Yes she hit it in the park. When you bring the players to tears that says a lot.
@@karenhampton9693 She took forever to sing it though.
matt13r1 And you took forever to stfu 😐
Detroit lost a legend. R.I.P Ms. Aretha Franklin one of the best Vocalist of all time.
Spidey7747 not only Detroit, the whole World lost an beautiful voice 😭
The entire world lost the legend, Aretha Franklin.
And Memphis
I would say the best !! Long live the queen of soul ❤️🙌🏼
The world !!!!
Legend has it she's still singing the National Anthem.
Easily most beautiful version I’ve heard. She put so much into it
She completely butchered this. What drugs are you on and where can I get them?
tank gunner out of your mind. So much soul
Aretha took us to church on this one. It’s one of the few tunes I wanted to say “hallelujah” after the National Anthem!
I mean we could have gone to church DURING this one, so yeah
Like Jamie Foxx
Aretha Franklin took America to church that day. Rest well Queen!
Darrel Humphrey well said brother!!!!
Sadly for the last time. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😔😢😢😢😔😔😔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As great as Aretha was this was just awful & total disrespect of the national anthem.
BBBYpsi what the hell can you possibly mean?!
Beautiful rendition, Queen of Soul!
FUN FACT: And now, Aretha Franklin holds the record for singing our national anthem the longest at a sports game.
Im hollering 😂😂😂
The old lady should have learned to hurry up
@@matt13r1your mother should have learned how to swallow.
I just had to come back and see this performance here. Pure vocals with no shame and no tooth; that’s how u kno she was real. RIP Aretha.
😂 u play too much
You so wr wrong😁😂
Brandon B oh really lol
IMA NEED YOU TO DELETE THIS LMFAOOOOOOO
I love Aretha's uniqueness - so beautiful ❤
Ms. Aretha plays the piano beautifully. That was a very passionate rendition of the national anthem.
The “gospelized”, 12 inch remix...
I remember this like it was yesterday. When I realized she would be singing, I called my two daughters to the tv, they were 22 and 19, and I made them watch it, knowing it might be the last time she performs. I still tear up watching it. She was a treasure.
She took forever to sing it.
It only finished yesterday
And your daughters were 23 and 20 when she finished singing
haha, yeah, i love Aretha, absolutely adore her, but yes, they segued right intoo the halftime show when she finally finished.
She stood the test of time.
Maybe even outsmarted time. She will live for ever through her music.
Looks like she failed because she isn't standing any more.
She's standing in heaven.
Still belting it out at age 74.
And the nation shall rightly mourn the passing of a legend!!!!
Love you Queen, To see and hear her Perform knowing now she had Pancreatic Cancer how Soulful she still was.Truly the QUEEN Of SOUL!! Rest well!!
She not only made me feel grateful to be part of America with this song, but that gratitude extended to this beautiful world. Amazing grace.
I remember watching this live. At the time i was like "just finish the dang song Aretha" but now I'm like "Sing it Aretha!!" R.I.P to a great Musician and a great woman.
Anton Riley, dont you now wish she wss right there singing today?
I miss Aretha Franklin and know she's waking up Heaven! I can hear her voice echoes through the vallies, hills and everglades❤❤
Dude same I was like I want to watch Thanksgiving Football already I didn't even know who she was then
this was trash tho
When the Queen speaks, you hush until she’s finished. If the National Anthem takes 10 minutes, then damnit, its 10 minutes. Haahhaa
to funny!!
I remember watching this outside on thanksgiving day in Houston with my family and having my eyeballs glued to the tv with patriotism. I realized how long she had been persisting as the players and coaches looked in disbelief and I was so grateful to have let every second soak into my soul. #RIPLADYSOUL
Unlike many singers...Aretha rarely ever lip synch a performance. In her own words "They booked me to sing and that's what I'm going to do." Thank you Aretha! You gave your audience your all until God called you home. Bless her family!
She took forever to sing it.
@@matt13r1 anybody who has a urban gospel background Aretha included, u know their songs gunna be long even with a National Anthem
@@blakedmc1989HD just like bleeding gum’s Murphy on The Simpsons. Aretha took a very long time to sing it. Even the guy next to her was like “You done yet?”
@@matt13r1 if u want it quicker, add a beat
@@blakedmc1989HD or just have her not be like Bleeding Gums Murphy
I remember this day like yesterday. Heard her singing and caught chills down my spine. We lost a great one but one thing for sure, she will live on especially through her music and powerful singing. Lord have mercy...
Took it to church!!
I'll never forget how long this performance was. She took us back to southern Baptist church services.
heart and soul listening to every note and vocals this is the truth....
The guy’s face said it best “You done yet?”
Aretha was basically an old Bleeding Gums Murphy.
@@matt13r1 im sure she had very good health care and a life you couldnt even dream of.
@@hipowa909 You don’t get it. She took forever to sing the anthem just like how Bleeding Gums Murphy did.
I don’t care that she’s old I find it funny she took forever
@@matt13r1 oh i get it but it want that long lol appreciate it now play it back and love your country..
Aretha Franklin voice will never be forgotten for a many many years from now as of this year December 24, 2023 🙏🙏 I will always Love her 💞💞
R.I.P. to the queen of soul
I will always love Aretha Franklin...that voice colored my childhood and covered me for over 40 yrs until now. Thank God for the art and science of recording.
I loved this from the first time I saw it live. Ms. Franklin said y’all gonna get this church today. Amen and Hallelujah!!
She played the hell outta those keys!!!! Omg!!!!
A true Lady and Legend.
The soul of it grabs me by the throast and I´m not even American. Never ever to be forgotten.
I miss this beautiful lady so much. 😔🌹❤️
Her voice is unbeatable.. Amazing and stunning. RIP Aretha... May god will save you always!
Especially considering her age and illness.
I sho' do miss this voice being around. I listen to her daily though!!
That was truly amazing!!!
2022, and I am in tears!!!!
Thank you Aretha Franklin!
Whitney and aretha gave a powerful national anthem on the field rip icons rose
latino heat Marvin Gaye also.
And even though it was not the national anthem, Jennifer Hudson hit her performance in the ball park at the 2020 all star game.
@@karenhampton9693 Demi Lovato wasn't terrible either.
Patti too
Whtiney's was pre recorded & Aretha's was just plain awful.
God rest her soul! She paved the way for so many women in music. Such a special place in my heart. I'm close to Detroit! Go Lions!
She sounded amazing. And at her age with cancer. Whoa! I felt that. Brought tears to my eyes.
Proud to be a Michigander and Lions fan! Remember watching this live and getting chills. May you rest in peace Aretha.
And I loved the "Time of Possession" CBS posted at the half: Vikings = 10:48, Lions = 14:37, Aretha Franklin = 4:35. :)
I’ve been looking for that clip since then. It was epic 😂😂😂
I miss Aretha! I love her music. What a great National Anthem. Awesome video.
*THE LADY SANG FROM HER SOUL. the best: Aretha, ... and Ray Charles.* rest in peace, weary warriors.
She blessed that whole stadium
Aretha Franklin voice provokes so much emotion. It make you want to laugh, cry, get your life together, punch somebody in the face, hug somebody.
You forgot falling asleep.
R.I.P Aretha Franklin you will be remembered.
R.I.P. To an all time great Legend and Phenomenal artist
I was there with my 2 sons and they started getting text messages from their friends after it. I told them to message to all their friends. “My dad says before you criticize someone old that is a legend. Maybe you should look into their past. She a gospel singer. Rappers bring you to the hood. Country singers bring you down south. Aretha brought you to church on this THANKSGIVING DAY “. my kids friends all respected me and I guarantee they posted it. When their friends come to you bc they screw up and know their parents going to freak. I tell them the best advice I can give them.
This was not for them. This was for us.
absolutely.
😂Yup
I felt that
@Bryan Bradley Naa she was never for amerikkka
Sounds like a funeral procession for one of our great worthies....
Can't believe people are complaining it's too long... She sang it so beautifully and emotionally.
As I played this video it' started raining so bad!! At the sound of her voice!(tears) The earth cries tears for a annoited women ! Has joined the heavenly realm and made it back to the other side! Aretha Franklin I will miss you!your music inspired me! In so many ways.

The most incredible of voices. Her music will live on forever.
RIP Queen of Soul you will be missed but never forgotten.
She truly took us to church!!!!! She plays beautifully.🇺🇲
She took forever to sing it.
@@matt13r1 you do realise we can see you replying to EVERY comment with this over a period of like 4 years 😂😂 get a hobby
@@reuben3588 well it’s true. She’s an old lady who took forever to sing it.
Well what else were you doing that day that it took too much time?
@@matt13r1 no you are to impatient to watch a very talented Icon sing our National Anthem!!!!!
I know in not the only one here weeping tears of joy ass Miss Aretha sings hear heart out on our nations anthem. Rest easy baby.
Though I am utterly bereft, I still think that this is absolutely hilarious!

I'm not the only one that got goosebumps from this 😍❤
Rest easy Queen❤
You are loved
I love her voice❤...great voice!!
We were at church and a football game. Rest in peace legend!
Every song that Aretha Franklin sang she brings so much compassion love in a song she makes it her own the world is missing you everyday
I remember I was listening to the game on the Vikings radio network. It took so long that they caught her off.
Most beautiful and touching version I have ever heard. The world mourns the earth's loss of the beautiful Aretha Franklin. The beautiful soul is Home now.
I remember watching this on thanksgiving day, it still blows me away!!
DETROIT MICHIGAN HAS LOST A LEGEND MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND FRIENDS# A BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL WOMAN SHE HAS LEFT A MARK ON OUR HEARTS#MOTOWN
What a genius singer, Ms. Aretha Dranklin, to make the National Athem into a soulful, anointed, riveting gospel genre. Re Re took me to church. She personified her gospel heritage into this song.. " Amen!"
The ONLY singer EVER who can take liberties with THAT SONG... such a revered, traditional, and emotional song... was THE GREAT ARETHA FRANKLIN! There will NEVER be another, nor should anyone TRY. RIP, Aretha. You are greatly missed!
RIP Ms Aretha Franklin
You have been an inspiration to many! Thank you for many yrs of Beautiful Music❣️
Your legacy will forever be The Queen Of Soul🌹
In Gods Hands now🤲🙏🏼
I just love to hear her sing. There's just something about that voice that meets ur heart n makes u wanna cry. God bless her soul. #QueenofSoul
Those notes will never be able to be hit by anyone else. The feeling of her voice can only come from her. Rest in Peace Miss Aretha
This Performance Brought Tears To My Eyes Love You Aretha Franklin Take Your Rest!!!!!
A LEGEND that we are truly lucky to have had in our lifetime
*Beautiful*
Never knew she played the piano too. Another Legend. Gone but never forgotten...Thank you, MS. Aretha Franklin. Thank you.
Them Chords sound churchy Aretha... Play mam RIP
Her an whitney's rendition of the national anthem are my personal favorites. Rest well Queen of Soul
Anthony D 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👊🏿
Marvin Gaye was good also
Wilson Wilson his was good as well
I also like Jackie Evancho's version from 2013 Thanksgiving
Check out Marvin Gaye's......also 🔥!
Man, awesome!! I remember her as a child being hypnotized by her singing all through life. She is 74 here and can still jump octaves abs hit the notes with a powerful voice. God Bless her. I was just watching her bio and didn’t know her first husband neat on her and she was always a lady about it. God blessed her so much , she had trials she had to overcome. And through Jesus she is still delivering powerfully.
It is 2023, September and it still made me cry
I liiiiiiiiiived for this performance 💅🎹😄😁! I remember watching this two years ago everyone was taking about how long the performance was, but I was thinking "take yo time 'Retha" 😆😁🙌
RIP QUEEN ARETHA....Who could dislike this?
I it always a great loss when any child of God dies. But "who could dislike this?" Are you serious? I got about 1 minute in and stopped the video, because I don't just dislike, I hate, even despise when people DESTROY the national anthem in this way. It takes all kinds, and we all have a write to our likes and tastes...so enjoy it for me, 'cause I just can't.
Kent St I fully agree, people should sing the national anthem how it's properly sung
@@kentst8956 I watched this game live and my and my whole family couldn't believe how bad it was. she takes an unnecessary long time to say each individual word, its tedious and frustrating to listen to. The national anthem is best sang short and simple. no need to spice it up in such a horrible way. its like trying to make twinkle twinkle little star different, you just cant do that its meant to be sang in one simple way. So yes I very much hate the way Arethra Franklin sang the national anthem.
Who could dislike this?? Anyone who doesn't have 4 hours of spare time to listen to the national anthem 😂
We all knew she had the gospel and soul music crown but to see her play the piano too is just amazing!!! Miss her like she was my family.
RIP Aretha Franklin
Always brought tears to my eyes. More lately.
That was moving, and beautiful.
Now that is holding hand over heart, eyes forward, stand up tall, proud to be an American -- Aretha, you rock!!!!!!
The little things in life are so beautiful!
Best National Anthem performance of all time!!!
Also great to see football players standing, hands on hearts! Awesome.....
Heart piercingly beautiful!
We miss you Aretha. RIP and thanks for the memories.
I knew this is going to take awhile LOL, RIP
Lmao
Yea might as well have been a halftime show
I keep thinking urethra Franklin lol idk why
Always had it. Never lost it for a minute.
Bring me tears every time
PRICELESS...SOUL TOUCHING!
WOW ...... GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER ME. THAT VOICE.
Beautiful voice. RIP lady
THis gets me.........everytime..............................A real legend that will NEVER be replaced
All the players should have started shouting that would have been hilarious "holy ghost "
I would pay money to see that
Phenomenal Talent --- amazing.
Rest in peace, dear sweet Aretha. Detroit loves you.
Love her so much so was a mega legend guys I sing with her on this clip !!😇😇
ONE Of A KIND!!!!!!BEAUTIFUL😘😍😘😢 R.I.P. Thank U.
