For as long as I can remember, our daughter Kendall has been humming, singing, or strumming a guitar. It’s like she was born with music in her veins and a song in her heart. By the time she hit our public high school, she was singing the national anthem before almost every football game.
When it came time for college, there was only one place she wanted to be: University of Southern California. She applied to USC's Popular Music Program.
I'm not gonna lie; it was a very intense application process. We had to do all the normal applications plus submit supplemental applications and a videotape in order to land an on-campus audition for the program.
When we created the tape, we put a little clip in there of Kendall (in her field hockey uniform) singing that national anthem into a crappy microphone before her own game.
Well, she landed that audition.
And she was accepted as one of two vocalists in the Pop Music Program at USC Thornton School of Music.
Fast forward five years, and I’m not only shocked by how fast it went, and how much she’s grown, but I am also still processing what just happened.
This past week in LA, Kendall gave her final presentation... in the exact same theater where she auditioned five years ago.
At her graduation ceremony, she had the remarkable honor of singing the national anthem at the USC 140th Commencement Ceremony in front of 20,000 of her fellow graduates.
Talk about a full circle moment!

Just amazing! As her mother, Mel, I am imagining how much your heart and emotion was bursting. I was moved to tears by the end.
My words, exactly!
Me too and I’m from the UK! 🥹
This national anthem is beautiful what a beautiful voice
As a retired Marine, I must admit Kendall's version brought tears to my eyes. The purity and almost haunting clarity of her voice evokes a visceral response which highlights the true essence of this anthem. The SSB is not a platform for "performers" to defile in their endeavors to brand it as their own, rather it is a stark reminder of the true cost of freedom. Kudo's to you Kendall, for your beautiful rendition; it is for people like you whom I humbly, and proudly served...
Thank you for your service. May god bless your soul.
I‘m not American, but hearing Kendall‘s voice brought more than one tear to my eye..Truly beautiful.
Frl I’m crying
I love how she held back her power until the end! Gave me chills!
Does'nt take much to give you chills. Whitney Houston is still the GOAT. Chris Stapleton is second.
@@bettywallace3375Whitney Houston is the goat, but go listen to her version of this. She holds the notes too long and tries to make her own version of it. Instead of respecting the song how it was meant to be done.
Absolutely beautiful, natural voice.
Wowzy!! What a beautiful angel she is. I was mesmerized by Kendall's voice. Kendall absolutely knows where she needs to be in this world - I can see it in her eyes - and hear it in her voice. I watched it twice - had to put it on full volume. I cried - happy tears - I'm not even American! Keep sharing that beautiful voice - special angel. Thank you for sharing, Kendall and Mel!
Definite chills both times & I’m from Australia!! What a beautiful voice with such natural authenticity & grace when singing her own national anthem! One of the best I’ve heard👏🏻
Same here
This beautiful voice needs to be shared with the world.
Yes
As a Gold Star Mother, thank you Kendall for honoring my son with your beautiful voice!
Sent shivers up my spine and I'm an Aussie. Beautiful voice.
I'm Canadian but her singing the American National Anthem gave me chills! Great job!
I think the Canadian national anthem is the best.
Apple doesn’t fall from the the tree … a radiating star like her momma! Superb!
Kendall, this was fantastic! I cannot wait for your first album to drop and to hear you on the radio!!
WOW! Probably the most beautiful rendition of Our National Anthem that I've ever heard! It literally brought me to tears! Thank you Kendall! Thank you Mel for sharing with us.
So nice and refreshing to hear it performed so classically. Beautifully rendered.
I started to cry and I’m not even American and I don’t live in the US. Kendall Robbins sings like an angel.
She is terrible.
Incredible voice and what a fantastic, perfect rendition of our National Anthem! Bravo!
Are you serious? She wasn't terrible, but totally no where near the ballpark.
Oh wow Mel, that was stunning you must be so very proud. Well done Kendall. You did good Mama! Xx
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Mel. Kendall, as a music major it is hard for me to get goosebumps from the National Anthem. I had them listening to this! Congratulations on your amazing weekend!
Absolutely beautiful, incredible performance.
I was searching for the national anthem properly sung and I found this. Thank you again and congratulations.
I absolutely love the initial tenderness in her voice! Have never heard it sung like this before! Beautiful, moving and powerful!
TRULY AWESOME. CONGRATULATIONS 🙏🏽😇💖🌞🔥🔥🔥!!!
Wow. Just WOW! Not an easy melody....and yet she made it seem that way - beautiful restraint, control, nuance, you name it.....but you guys have had a front row seat to that level of skill her whole life. Thank you for posting this. You and Chris must be beyond proud.... 🤩
Sung the way it ought to be sung. So well done!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! The only other artist that sang our Anthem Acapella wonderfully was Whitney Houston at the super Bowl prior to the start of the 1st Afghan war.
Seriously I love our Anthem and your daughter brought tears to my eyes!!
Thank you for sharing...I know you and Chris are so very proud!!!!🇱🇷💫❣️
She made it her own. Her talent is great on so many levels, in that she used it to enhance a difficult song, NOT BRING THE ATTENTION TO HERSELF! Greatness she learned at her parents knees , no doubt! Congratulations on your making a family that gives us all hope. We NEED to be a part of all tour ups and downs. You invite us in to join you , making us believe we can this for for ourselvesas well!🎉💗🌹🎈🎵👩🎓
So we'll spoken /typed ❤
So pure. Thank you for sharing her triumph and talent!
Mel you have to be sooooo proud !! Great job Kendall !! Bravo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
OMG Mel, you must have been bursting with pride. What a stunning young woman with a beautiful, beautiful voice. I would never be able to be so composed in front of that huge crowd. Clearly, you have done something right regarding your family, despite your self deprecating remarks. I would love to meet them one day. However, meeting you is at the top of my list. Hoping that one day the universe will bring us together.❤
I am at a loss for words…there are no words to describe Kendall’s beautifully amazing performance 💗💗 Such a wonderfully proud moment for y’all. Congratulations 🌸💗
What a beautiful voice 😭. Congratulations to your beautiful daughter 🥰
Talk about a goosebump moment! And I’m not American! Wowsers, Kendall, Mel and the entire Robbins Family…. You guys rock my world and change it for the better every single day 😍 THANK YOU 🙏
(Love from Mel’s biggest fan!) xxx😊
Just BEAUTIFUL!!! I can listen to her sing all day. Thank you for sharing and I hope to hear more.
Wow! I'm not American but that gave me goosebumps! Bravo Kendall and all the very best for your musical career. Also well done Mum and Dad. Proud moment X
Amazing Mel....she has been blessed the voice of an angel. I just heard my 23 year old son sing for the first time about a year ago. I never knew he was hiding his gift. He is an introvert and doesn't like attention. Thank you so much for sharing this. It is a gift as well!
Kendall, your pitch, control, and feeling were excellent!
As a USC Mom w a mixed race son in studies for his Masters in Urban Planning so that he too can grace LA with his finest; the is such pride for the Anthem but also for this young woman whom shared her gift 🎁 with all the world 🌎! Go far Goddess! Shine ✨
