caught the end of it. who was that kid?
I caught a little about him. He is/was a patient at a Children's hospital in Philly. He is blind and has cerebral (sp) palsy.

well, in retrospect, that was pretty good.
i was going to say it was crappy, and he almost screwed it up.
but, i held back until i figured out more about him.
not bad then for a kid with such troubles.
does he really know the magnitude of football, the AFC campionship, and magnitude of singing at such an event though?

The magnitude of his accomplishment, and of accomplishments by those in similar situations, transcends all of the above except liberty itself.

I thought the kid did pretty well considering he is 10 years old and has health problems.
BTW, this is the NFC Championship.

All of this is no more important and a hill of beans. But the boy is priceless.
This is the third time he has sang out at a Philly game - he's a fan favorite apparently. I think maybe he was a bit more nervous today and maybe freezing cold as well.
holden, I think your post is the saddest ever! Educate theyself on the situation before you get cute!
yeah..its pretty hard to do anything musically when its cold.
pretty damn good for a 10 year old with health problems.

not to mention his dad is fighting overseas right now. Way to be a major ass
Sometimes, it's better to not say anything than to say something before you know all the facts.
Sometimes, it's better to let someone sing the National Anthem more for the inspriration that they give others than for the talent that they posess.

i was moved by his performance. a lot of the military men on the field were moved too. i'd rather watch that than some no talent bubblegum singer do it.

That kid was a genius?
I thought he had a pretty good voice. He was off on a few notes but considering it was freezing cold and the conditions he has and hes only 10 years old i thought he did a great job. That was neat to see something like that.
my apologies, raider.
notice the use of the comma.

I'm not ashamed to say that he left a lump in my throat.
I was at the East-West Shrine game last weekend and the same kid sang the National Anthem then God Bless America at halftime. He was great, really great, and it was really inspirational/enjoyable.
He sounded better last week, so I think he was definitely affected by the conditions today. But you still got a good look at his talent and his spirit. I was really impressed for the second week in a row.

WTF is everyone mad at me for???
If you watched it and it didn't make you sad then you are not human. That was one of the saddest things I have ever seen. Definitely not trying to be cute. I made the comment about the puppies b/c I think it ranked right about there on the sadness scale. I was trying to provide perspective for those who may have missed it. Very touching.
With the icon that you used, it seemed like you were being sarcastic.
NOT sad. Inspirational. That kid showed heart and determination.
My hats is off to him and my prayers go out to him and his family.
Franchione had the #1 defense in the nation in 2000 at TCU and the #3 defense in the nation in 2002 at Alabama.
THE WRECKING CREW IS COMING!

I would take that young man everyday of the week and twice on Sunday over a Beyonce/Justin Timberlake funky dance re-mix of the Anthem.
there's never been a "funky dance re-mix of the Anthem". what a stupid post.
I thought he did awesome. He's 10 and he's sick. This kid is an example of what makes America so great. We celebrate our freedoms by have AFC and NFC Championship games. These games are an example of our freedoms. What an awesome thing for this kid to be a part of something like this.
He should sing at the Super Bowl also.

i too thought it was great. he struggled at times but kept bulling his way through and finished the job as best he could. the crowd responded to his courageous effort as well.
i had no idea anything was wrong with him (figured he was just cold) I thought he did an excellent job then, and am even more impressed now.
Now for the singer or I mean bellower who did the anthem at the Pittsburg game!
Shoot it and get it out of it's misery.
Full Speed Ahead - Fire At Will - Gig'em

Anyone have a link where one could see this kid singing the National Anthem? Sounds like an amazing performance...I'm sorry I missed seeing it.
