Bloody beautiful! One of those rare moments when the Star Spangled banner is played like a real ANTHEM. Not a Bieberinian song.

I'm not American but I agree with the other comments in favour of a rendition like this and critical of the way pop stars sing it at major events. When performed well it's quite a dignified and inspiring anthem. I have a similar frustration with pop singers mangling my own country's (Australia's) national anthem at sporting events.

@@brantphillips9133 Some thoughts from a half Korean half Swedish guy: Jealousy? Pain - probably. Being taught about the supposed (and sometimes real, no country is free of scruples) horrors of the US every day in school probably gives you a burning hate and it must be painful to stand there listening to the "enemies" anthem. At least they did not boo or show real disrespect - I saw US supporters boo during Russia's anthem in Sweden some years ago and that was unpleasant. I also think that some of their faces seem to almost panic, might be the cameras and the thought of them being hand picked for this event = a lot of pressure.

Little known fact about this, the orchestra almost refused to play because they wouldn’t let the American flag be on the stage and to the right, left if you are looking from the crowd. Which is was the US flag code states. Finally the conductor and the NK minders agreed for it to be there and how it was supposed to be displayed. 🇺🇸
