Glee – National Anthem – Game 3 – Philadelphia, PA – VIDEO

The Glee kids sang the National Anthem tonight, @Philadelphia, before Game 3 of the World Series between the Yankees and the Phillies.

Amber Riley (Mercedes) belted out a soulful lead, while the rest of the kids sang background harmonies.

Very nice.

Baseball has pre-empted Glee this week and next, but we’ll finally get our fix when the show returns on Wednesday, November 11.

  • They were awesome! It is not easy to sing in that park (or any park, really), and they were all controlled and in-tune. It’s a shame they couldn’t get a little more gain on her mic for the lower parts, but it was still a beautiful performance – and fun to hear the kids without auto-tune!

  • But, all of this says alot about the music interests of the ‘general’  American public when songs from a TV show or kareoke songs from AI often outsell a ‘real’  singer. A bit sad, that.

    The original artists of these tunes aren’t crying, as many of the peeps who download the Glee tunes ALSO go back to investigate the original. It’s a win-win situation all around. I don’t find it particularly sad.

  • One of the hardest songs to sing and she blew it out of the park! The harmony sounded really good, too. I loooooove Glee and I was really disappointed when it wasn’t on last week.

  • Never was a baseball fan, but bumping Glee, Fringe and Bones for weeks has truly made me hate it.

  • Love Amber. She, Will, and Sue are my favorites for sure. I think she has the best voice. WHEN DID IDOL TURN HER DOWN? I don’t remember this…where was I?!

    Sadly, this didn’t help the Phillies defeat the Yankees. :(

    Yep. For instance, the original Journey version of Don’t Stop Believing has been in the iTunes top 100 since the pilot. They are crying all the way to the bank.

    I love anyone who can take something that iconic and put a new spin on it. That really is a rare talent.

    Also, Marvin Gaye ‘83 NBA All Star Game is still the best, IMHO.

  • Reflections On Life

    I flove Amber!

    NFL prerecords the national anthem for all the superbowls nowadays. Looks like baseball keeps it live for the world series. Prefer the live versions – more at stake, and the imperfections keep it real & soulful.

  • That was very sweet and we will have two episodes of Glee this week if the Yankees win again tonight MJ!!!!! Go Yankees – two reasons for you to win tonight
