Boyz II Men - Star Spangled Banner/America Medley Lyrics






Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
Was so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous light
For the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming

My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where my father's died
Land of the pilgrim's pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring

And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night That out flag was still there

Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave

  1. r.... b....

    Amazing harmony

  2. g.... l....

    Heard it the first time before an all star game, my favorite version byyyyyyyyyy far 🇺🇸

  3. W.... T....

    There is Nothing in comparison and more powerful than anthem of the USA 🇺🇸, with the history behind those lyrics, the sacrifice & heroism of their men and women, liberty and patriotism to their land and people, and love for freedom, is what makes this country the beacon of freedom and prosperirty to the free world. God bless America. I love listening to the harmony of boys to men as I think of this

  4. B.... S....

    The hairs on the back of my neck all stood at attention and saluted.

  5. g.... l....

    I used to listen to 2:00-end over and over when i was like 13 years old and used to cry lmao had to hit that repeat one time for old sakes

  11. 7.... ....

    Thank you so much for uploading this. I remember BIIM sang this at the NBA all star game in Utah back in 1993. I have been looking for this for a long time. I found a link to the actual performance here in case anyone is interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU2sWpCZcRw

  12. L.... V....

    simplemente espectacular y hermoso

  13. D.... B....

    In the beginning I thought they were a little off key. Most people don't hear that unless they have an ear for music.

  14. D.... G....

    Shawn stockman's the best

  15. p.... ....

    So call me a hater IDC... so I came over to hear this version of B2M's SSB (because I heard it was better than Take 6's) version and when I tell y'all that y'all niggas not only overhyped this SSB it sounded wayyyyyyyyy worse than Take 6's version where in the heck are y'all ear plugs this was wack af like frfr) wasted my time listening to this 🙄🙄🙄💀💀

    p.... ....

    prettygah12 well they thank you for the view lol since you listened anyway and I'm so sure you could do better than these Grammy award winning legends *inserts sarcasm*

  16. D.... P....

    from 2:38 to the end...brilliant

  17. s.... ....

    Mike with the bass!!!!

  18. D.... J....

    Forever a Boyz II Men fan

  19. C.... B....

    Every time I hear this, I think about that Home Video they made "Then II Now" to support their second album. I miss that tape.

  20. T.... B....

    nobody does it better!!!!! period

    T.... B....

    Not even Whitney Houston?

    T.... B....

    The Boog Show sorry I luv them but take 6 is the best

  21. S.... M....

    thah bass!! so gud!!!

  22. q.... e....

    Good song

  23. C.... J....

    Boyz I Men and Whitney Houston are two of the best national anthems I have ever heard.

    C.... J....

    Listen to the Gaither Vocal Band Version. The Best EVER performed.

    C.... J....

    By far the best ...Brian Mcknight

    C.... J....

    also listen to nsync. :)

    C.... J....

    Totally agree.

    C.... J....

    Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye and Boyz To Men in that order.

  24. D.... J....

    For you idiots who say the melody isn't present, as a music major i clearly hear the melody the thing if I have an incredible ear to pick out parts the melody was there the entire time. The only problem the melody was passed around to each guy which probably confused you guys who aren't as musically inclined as myself and others. You guys need help. Smh

  25. J.... T....

    Yeah, they are very talented and stuff but it's not the National Anthem with My Country Tis of Thee in there and it's much to slow. You need to keep the melody in the song and then add some harmonies. This is MUCH MUCH TOO SLOW!

    J.... T....

    @gigiraven1 no it was done by them but it sounds awesome

    J.... T....

    The melody is there, if you had a trained ear you would hear that, I guess you don't. Just because the melody is rhythmically different with the syncopation of the parts at the final stanza does not mean the melody isn't present and I know exactly who's singing it. Shawn....listen a little harder, or try singing the melody along with them

    J.... T....

    Deondre J. Jackson actually i Think Wanya carries melody here, Shawns more the Tenor 2, Nate the soprano, Mike the Bass, Wanya Tenor 1

  26. T.... Q....

    It doesn't get any better than that. No matter the country you're from you have to appreciate. I have to play it again.

  27. K.... I....

    10 dislikes ? Wtf !

    K.... I....

    9 dislikes. Someone changed their mind.

    K.... I....

    Knowledge I Allah their monitors were upside down

  28. T.... M....

    good rendition but Take 6's sounds better

    T.... M....

    Tee MK are you high? Lol not even close lol

  29. U.... ....

    This is originally a blending of the two, it was done on purpose, and done on point...deal with it

  30. L.... ....

    This is the only version of the national anthem that BRINGS ME LIFE!!!! No, but seriously, this is the best

  31. t.... ....

    South Africa National Anthem by Africappella
    youtube.com/watch?v=BVPX9vctssQ

  32. M.... S....

    Im South Africa and never had my national anthem perfected this way, this is clinical.... ignorant ass holes can fuck off

  33. A.... M....

    B2M and DC are the best male and female group when it comes to harmonizing! i love their rendition of the star spangled banner! :)

  34. R.... S....

    Yes!!! With another Great American Song!!!

  35. B.... M....

    Alright, I'll agree that they are some amazing singers. They made it sounds awesomely amazing, but did anyone else notice that they switched songs?

  36. t.... ....

    I'm Japanese, but I agree you.
    People should respect the national anthem.

  37. R.... S....

    Just glanced at some of the comments to this video, and I am disgusted. People are so damn negative towards positivity. It's our National Anthem. This is the way they CHOSE to perform it. This is America, land of the free, so they have that right. Just like you have the right to make ignorant comments. Exactly what's wrong with this damn country. This is beautiful. I could see if they were singing disrespectful words or something... STFU!!!

  38. J.... L....

    BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  39. k.... ....

    Are they serious? I mean, it's refreshing to not hear the original arrangement all the time but this is just too much. There are times where the melody isn't even present. It's like they're using the National Anthem to show off...

  40. T.... ....

    The one part that bothers me is that they say "For the ramparts we watched" when it's actually "O'er the ramparts we watched," but a LOT of people get that part wrong.
    ("O'er" is a contraction of "over," for those who don't know)

  41. D.... B....

    Off key????? Can you actually hear???? SMH...

  42. c.... ....

    please shut up

  43. D.... R....

    complete crap through and through, worst rendition ever, soooo off key and egotistical to "sing" it this way

  44. L.... B....

    Man if you have anything too say bout boyz2men fuck you I love these guys my favorite.....round of applause;)

  45. L.... E....

    hmmmm. This was featured on the 1996 Summer Olympics Games Album. ;-)

  46. K.... H....

    so much class

  47. c.... ....

    me too!

  48. K.... ....

    Fuck that shit gave me chills yo!

  49. E.... S....

    AMAZING... I wish they would stage a comeback.

  50. e.... ....

    Shawn stockman is my fav in the group

  51. F.... L....

    @formystudies Melody is the same, they just created something new in the middle, then resorted to the star spangled banner again. Harmonies are tight, and loud which over powers the original melody.

  52. m.... ....

    Their vocal ability is from God and no one else!! these men are timeless! I demand they be named national treasures of music!!

  53. K.... D....

    1 person is a nazi the second is a gayjustin beinber boning humping bitch and the thrid is the devil who obviously stole a computer

  54. M.... K....

    @blackman26 probably not the case

  55. b.... ....

    3 people don't have patriotism

  56. S.... J....

    We used this back in high school. I love this version.

  57. l.... b....

    I wouldn't call this the US national anthem. They only used the lyrics, but changed 80% of the tune!

  58. A.... B....

    @unspokenrespect agreed!!!

  59. D.... A....

    I Cry When I Hear Boyz 2 Men
    OutStanding Performance
    People Like You Me Hope
    As A Singer
    Blessing And Respect!!

  60. a.... ....

    @lem5004 For me it's about having four black men singing "Land where my fathers died..." that makes me uncomfortable! Gives it a whole new meaning. Still a HELL of a beautiful version, however!

  61. f.... ....

    0:32 wow! the baseline is just incredible

  62. R.... W....

    @JayDrummerBoy
    It's on a CD called Rhythm of the Games. Performance is from 1996 Olympics opening ceremony.

  63. T.... D....

    Play Ball!!

  64. J.... ....

    what cd is this on?

  65. E.... D....

    hasn't been sung better.

  66. b.... ....

    Great version. Greetings from Munich / Germany

  67. u.... ....

    Wanya Morris SHOULD SING THIS SOLO

  68. D.... W....

    i wish i had a group like that

  69. f.... ....

    Speechless!!!!
