This year, it was John Legend who kicked off the NBA All Star game with a rousing rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Check it out in full in the video above.
While hearing the National Anthem must be a powerful experience for any American, hearing Legend doing it justice must be doubly so.
As we speak, fans are raving online about how amazing and perfect was his performance.
The 9-time Grammy winning artist wasn’t the only one to treat fans to live music, as I already noted today. Alicia Keys headlines the Halftime show, performing a medley of her biggest hits.
Unfortunately, unlike Legend’s, her performance was deemed less than perfect, with voices online even saying she must have been suffering from a cold to sing so raspy.
All such speculation aside, enjoy the awesomeness above!
