Try watching them being sung by 80,000 people at a Rugby game, that's when they really come to life.

I'm English but we all know the Welsh one is just the bloody best.

I am not Welsh, but I my opinion their anthem always wins hands down. I am not sure what it is, none of the other anthems make me feel emotional. That one always does.

Sorry Welsh anthem gives me goosebumps and makes me very proud to be Welsh! We are 4 separate countries.

I'm biased but the Welsh National anthem is just epic.

I am a very proud Englishman and the Welsh anthem always gives me goosebumps!

Doesn't matter where you are in the UK you have to admit the Welsh anthem is a thing of beauty

The Irish national anthem is most often sung in Irish it’s called amhran na bhfiann- which translates to soldiers song like u heard. It is definitely more beautiful in Irish ☘️ 🇮🇪

The Welsh anthem is a thing of beauty.

You can't beat the sound of a Welsh Male-Voice Choir in full voice ...

The Welsh one is definitely the best it's so powerful makes me proud even though I'm Scottish

It feels wrong hearing Ireland’s national anthem in English like I’m not gonna lie I didn’t even know or national anthem in English I started singing it in my head in Irish when I heard it

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the welsh flag. I’m a proud English man but that flag is cool as hell and the anthem sounds amazing at a rugby match.

That version of Flower of Scotland sounded weak and insipid. It’s actually a very long and strong sounding song, and when sung at a rugby game sounds amazing! It should be sung loud and proud. The Scots stamp their feet, or clap hands at certain points to emphasise the words. Hello from Scotland 🖐🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm Scottish with a welsh dad and I have to say land of my fathers is the best of them by some distance.

can’t articulate the feeling of belting the welsh national anthem along with thousands of others

I am of mixed ancestry and my mother's family are mostly Welsh. I have felt a connection to my Welsh blood all my life and although I have never lived in Wales, my Gran did and my parents retired there. Moving around England all my life, Talgarth and Bronllys were the closest thing I had to a home. Some years ago, my mother, sister and I attended a concert by a male voice choir on St David's Day in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Lots of old Welsh songs were sung and when they got to the national anthem, they invited the audience to sing it in English or in Welsh. I knew it in Welsh and as we started to sing, the hall filled with proud Welsh folk, singing loudly in their own language. It was incredible.

As an English girl (with Irish & Scottish roots) the Welsh anthem had me tearing up, wow. Must say I was disappointed when I had my DNA results that I didn’t have any Welsh in there at all. Still won’t stop my getting goosebumps for their rousing anthem though 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪

Nothing beats the Welsh national anthem ... Especially when it's sing at Cardiff Millennium stadium.

as a welsh person, there’s no greater feeling than singing our anthem in a stadium full of people at a rugby match

All these anthems are just so much better when sung by 70 or 80 thousand people at football or rugby matches

The Irish anthem is not sung in english that needs to be played in the language it was written in

I’m not just bias but our welsh anthem hits different 👌🏼

The Welsh flag looks like a battle standard from Lord of the Rings 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊ And the anthem ? *The soul of a nation distilled into song* ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

The national anthem of "Wells" sounds very similar to the national anthem of Wales.

The Welsh National Anthem was created by a father who was a poet and his son who was a composer, and it was created in 1856 to be performed at an Eisteddfod. An Eisteddfod is a huge festival/competition in Wales that typically happens every year, and it goes to a different town or city each year. It's a competition of Welsh culture such as poets, musicians, dancers, writers, artists, etc. The Eisteddfod started in 1176 by a Lord Rhys in his castle in Cardigan, inviting poets and musicians all across Wales to perform and be awarded in their own categories with a chair at the Lords table, although it gained huge popularity in the 19th century, and become an official National competition across Wales in 1880, and since then there has been an Eisteddfod in Wales every year except for 1914, 1940 & 2020. There are also Eisteddfod's held twice a year in Patagonia, Argentina as there was a huge migration of Welsh people who moved there in the late 1800's due to the belief that the Welsh language and culture was being threatened in Wales due to the English. Although the Eisteddfod's in Patagonia are influenced by the many different cultures and languages that are used daily in Patagonia and Argentina such as Welsh, English & Spanish.

Proud to be English but my god the Welsh anthem is a thing of beauty. Went to Wales v Australia as a neutral during the World Cup and it was an incredible to hear it

I'm gonna be belting out the Welsh anthem on Saturday when Wales v France in the six nations grand slam come on Wales

The Welsh National anthem was first performed in my town in the Llynfi Valley. You should look up the anthems being sung at sports games the atmosphere for each one is absolutely incredible.

The only thing is the Irish national Anthem is normally sung in Irish rather than English. But yeah as others suggest its better to hear them sung at a six nations rugby match

You couldnt possibly have picked a worst Flower of Scotland!

I’m welsh and I hear the anthem all the time, but it gives me goose bumps every time! 😂

I'd say "jerusalem" would be the unofficial English anthem.

You should go watch the Welsh rugby team and fans sing the anthem, that's something else.

I'm English but the Welsh flag and there anthem at a rugby international is extraordinary

A proud Welsh woman. Cant wait for Saturday. Come on Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Christ, that version of Flower of Scotland is horrendous. Imagine it with massed pipes and drums and thousands of folk singing and it's much more rousing!

Before even seeing the video, the Welsh anthem, Land of My Fathers/Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau is easily the best song, and I say that as an Englishman with 1/4 Scots 1/8 Irish ancestry and no Welsh blood that I know of. Great that you played a gutsy version of God Save The Queen with two verses sung. One of the problems with the national anthem is it's often played too slow, one verse and mumbled, when it should be sung with gusto. That said, it is the Queen's preference that only one verse is sung in her presence, after all, she has to hear a lot more than the rest of us. :-)

Thats not the Irish anthem. I don't blame you for that, its very difficult to find the real anthem on youtube for some reason. That's an English language cover version, the real anthem is in Irish called 'Ámhrán na bhFiann'. The only way I've ever found this online is if you look it up live at a football match or something, otherwise it gives it in English or the wrong instrumentation.

So much love for the Welsh anthem on here! ❤️❤️❤️

"Coronation" is the official term for the crowning of a monarch.

The Welsh national anthem was the first anthem to be sung at a sporting event. It was sung in response to the All Black's Haka in 1905. Also the Welsh anthem was the first thing to ever be recorded in the Welsh language. Also God Save the Queen must be sung at any event where the Queen is present. Can you imagine how tired she must be of that song after hearing it her entire life. Even before she was Queen she had to hear it all the time as God Save the King when she went places with her father.

Fun fact, the Welsh national anthem was made for a Welsh completion, there are 3 other verses in the full song, it's a beautiful song to us, it is a big vibe if sang in a rugby game or by the male Voice choir

The Irish national anthem was originally written in 1910 in English. It was later translated in 1923 by Liam Ó Rinn after the victory of the war of independence. It is called "Amhrán na bhFiann". Only the chorus is sung at official events. Out of respect, we stand with our hands behind our backs either singing or in silence. Today it is sung as Gaeilge (in Irish) NEVER in English.

The Welsh translation has left out the last line: O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau". Literally translates as "May the Old Language continue ". The Welsh anthem is, of course, the best one. I've been known to cry like a baby when it's sung before a rugby International - there's no sound like it in the world, it's spine tingling.

We don’t sing the anthem nearly as much as Americans do, you’ll mainly hear it at international sporting events, never before regular sports / events. No saluting or hands on hearts. I’ve actually heard the US anthem way more in my life than I’ve heard the British one The home nations anthems like Flower of Scotland get sung at rugby and whatnot, like at the Six Nations currently. It would be worth looking those up, especially the Welsh and Scottish ones

Never in my life have I heard the Irish national anthem sung in English

Being English I do love our anthem and the Welsh one is class as well

Flower of Scotland is the anthem but it's sung to slow,needs a bit get up and go about it,Would have been better if you'd chosen a video of it sung at an event by the public

When it comes to events like the commonwealth games where "God save the Queen" is played for the event, England either use "land of Hope and Glory" or more likely "Jerusalem"

First time I ever heard the Welsh anthem and it's beautiful.

Without a doubt the Welsh anthem is the best, so much passion. I was sad hear Flower of Scotland being sung so slowly and without pipes I love the Scots coming to Cardiff for the rugby.

The anthem 'God Save the Queen' has several unsung verses. They were dropped as they were very anti Scottish.

The only way to listen to any of these anthems, is in their home stadiums during the six nations tournament, THAT is true passion behind ones anthem.

Hearing Flower O' Scotland without having pipes in the background is sacrilege lolllll

Ireland's anthem is actually in the Irish language, it's called “Amhran nà bhFiann.”

I wish you used the Irish language version for Ireland but it sounds ceart go leor in English 🇮🇪

what do you mean we're "not technically" part of the uk? theres nothing technical about it. we *aren't* part of the UK. we just arent. that like saying Canada isnt technically part of the USA. edit: also not the best version of the irish anthem ive ever heard. but it is beautiful.

The Welsh national anthem is stunning, Not the best version of the Flower of Scotland but some great images in the back ground of the most beautiful country in the world.

No one knows this but the reason why national anthems became a thing was because Wales wanted to respond to the New Zealand Haka back in 1905 so they sang the national anthem

Hate 2 say this but that's t 1 of the worst Flower of ScotlandsI've heard yet. Yip bad choice lol

Watching this in the morning and loudly singing along to the Welsh national anthem. Sorry next door neighbours. 😁.

If you love acapella, you may like to check out Welsh Male voice choirs, they are truly moving, and this is being said by an Irish woman. 😊

I just found your channel through this video and I had a watch of some of your other videos and I really enjoy them. They are entertaining and informative, thank you. Keep up the good work and I hope your channel grows further!

I was once in Twickenham on an errand when England were playing at the national Rugby stadium. I was in the street when the fans in the stadium belted out God Save the Queen before the match. I could hear it quite clearly, even though the stadium is a mile from where I was. I may have wept just a little bit.

We Welsh never ever sing God save the queen. In fact, if it's played at sporting events it's booed!! The English use it though. Our anthem is Mae Hen Wlad fy Nhadau. It's absolutely superb and brings tears of pride.

I’m a welsh speaker and I can say the end of the anthem doesn’t say “for this land so pure” it translates to “hopefully our old language lives on”

Fun fact : the Irish national anthem was written in English and became well known in that version and was only subsequently translated into Irish, the version that is now used

Northern Ireland doesn't have a national anthem, but the closest thing to it is Londonderry Air, which they play at the Commonwealth games to represent them.

Everytime I hear the national anthem it reminds me why I'm proud to be Welsh! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

i love that you didnt have the disrespect to pause or talk through the anthems, you deserve a subscribe

The Welsh actually invented the concept of singing national anthems at the start of sporting events in 1905. The visiting New Zealand All Blacks rugby team, made up of all Maori NZ natives who had been introduced to the sport were touring the home nations of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. However at the start of each match they performed the previously unheard of Haka wardance (still done today). This helped contribute to an aura of invincibility about them (they were already pretty amazing). The 1st 3 matches against England, Scotland and Ireland they won deciesively. Observing this the Welsh team organised to respond to the haka by having all 40,000 welsh fans in the stadium sing their anthem defiantly. They went on to beat the All Blacks and anthems at sport became a new thing!

No biases but the Welsh national anthem SLAPSS

The true English national anthem is Jerusalem.

The welsh anthem is best! I remember as a child being taught it (I didn’t live in Wales, but our teaching assistant was Welsh) and we all enjoyed learning it! Still know it off by heart, in Welsh, to this day.

Flower of Scotland played on the pipes at Murrayfield at rugby matches. Can't beat it. Goosebumps

I enjoyed your reaction but though I love the Monarchy the general public, generally, prefer either of these 2 Anthems: 1/ "Land of Hope and Glory - Last Night of the Proms 2009" will demonstrate the power of that one if you put it in KZfaq search 2/ Jerusalem

That is the WORST version of O Flower Of Scotland

I am Irish and our national anthem is not in English it is in Irish. It is never sang in English. Respect to our national language Gailge

The irish one sounds a lot better, in my opinion, in Irish and live (especially in a rugby game) We also have a second one for rugby alongside the main national anthem.

Has anyone noticed the number of National anthems that refer to conflict with England or in the case of the USA conflict with Britain. - just saying. Anyone think of any other ones?

I'm biased but the Welsh have the best anthem and the best flag!

The versions that I chose for this video were based on the number of views they had, like all the reaction videos I do, I do not watch them first so as to have a real reaction to them. If you know of better versions then please share, I assume it's like our anthem where there are thousands some very good some very bad.

I was amused by how you say, “You guys have the main one, and then each country has their own little one”. You’ll likely find that no one has a “main anthem” and a “little anthem”. Each of those anthems you played is considered THE national anthem by the people of those countries. No criticism of the video mind. I enjoyed the video and your reactions to the anthems. 👍🏻

I'm English and ours is a dirge. The Welsh have it hands down

Flower of scotland sung by the rugby crowds are the best to get the emotion and passion from our anthem

You cannot beat the Welsh national anthem, don’t like seeing the translation but just to hear it being sung at sporting events rugby/football etc is so magical I’m welsh but can only speak the language a little bit but wish I could speak it fluently. Listen to “Yma o hyd” that’s another sporting favourite of ours 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You've missed a trick here the 6 nations Rugby internationals are most likely the best way to hear them. The 6 countries of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France & Italy When there is at least 80 thousand belting their anthems out.

Wales is pronounced wails, not wells. England's national anthem is Land of Hope and Glory. Jerusalem (which mentions England in the lyrics) is a hymn. One of my mother's favourites.

The English anthem is probably Jerusalem, my choice would be Land of hope and glory. Or as Yorkshire is the best county in England then maybe it should be 'On ilkley moor bar tat'

Proud Welsh man here. Whenever the anthem is played at a rugby game. I put my hand on my heart & sing it loud & proud. I think the Welsh are the most proud of their country. I also like your American anthem

Wales is pronounced Whales like the giant sea mammal. Plus we have the greatest flag ever.

You have an unhealthy obsession with all things British but i like it! :)

The Welsh national anthem is lovely and I'm English. Also, we only ever really sing the first verse of the English one. Wales is pronounced the same as the large sea mammal rather than "Wells" as Americans seem to say it.

I'm a proud Irishman and that sounds nothing like our anthem our anthem is sung in our native language and even the music is off but it is called "Shoulders song"🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

i’m honestly glad that people from all around the uk and not just wales are coming together in the comments to really appreciate the pure beauty of the welsh national anthem.

Neither Scotland nor England have an official anthem, something that definitely needs fixing. Too often "God Save the Queen" is used as an English anthem, which then causes confusion when it's really the British National Anthem, as it's the Queen's Anthem in reality. Most people in Wales cannot speak Welsh but all learn the national anthem in school. As others have said, that's some weird version of the Flowers of Scotland. You really need to hear all of these anthems in a rugby crowd setting. In fact, if you want to do a second video with "Anthems of Rugby", you'll get excellent renditions by the tens of thousands of members of the crowds. As for respect for anthems, we don't do the anthem-worship that Americans do, but thanks for your consideration.

You wouldn’t catch a Welsh person singing god save the queen EVER 😂 it’s England’s National anthem more or less

You should definitely react to these being sung at a game, it’s fantastic 🔥

I’m astonished so many of my fellow Irishmen thought that was a cover version 😂 totally agree it shouldn’t never be sang like that again, Gaelic version just sounds so much better, but that is how it was for quite a few years until someone translated it to what we are accustomed to today.
