  • Yeah just saw Kris sang the National Anthem in the NBA, and as usual he struggle with hi-notes, he did Not do a good job at all. I don't think the crowd was pleased, the applaud was lukewarm. If you missed it watch it again in You-Tube. Well, this is your struggling American Idol when it comes in singing with hi-notes. He kinda messed up, so Kris fans how can you recover on this one? LOL

    • You are full of crap, you called that AMAZING? Obviously he kinda messed up, and did not quite hit the right now. Geeze get a box of Qtips and clean your ear drums good. Kris fans are suchs a tone deaf. Either tone deaf or you need to study music and learn what is the meaning of amazing. Go Watch the video over and over, it may actually embar you as his fans.

    • Another ONE LOL, Kris fans are a big jokes, I think NBA felt bad for inviting Kris that kinda messed up the Anthem. I think the NBA has no choice but required for them to invite the Idol winner. Don't get excited that America did not ge wrong. America DID NOT vote that was the problem. It was rigged and you all knows it.

  • Kris must be nervous about those high notes. He doesn't have the range at all to sing this song.

    • Kris did an awful job singing the Anthem. He kinda messed up, I think the crowd was holding their breath through the end, the crowd applaud out of politeness, they weren't pleased at all!

  • Kris will do a great job singing the National Anthem, he is known to sing the lyrics of a song meaningfully and with emotions, I'm sure he will do the same with the American Anthem.
