Jim Cornelison Singing The National Anthem At United Center

by , under Jim Cornelison, National Anthem

America’s Unoffficial Anthem Singer Jim Cornelison with his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at United Center before Game 2 of the Atlanta Hawks-Chicago Bulls game. Stirring.

I can’t get enough of him singing the National Anthem. Either he or Lauren Hart should be the official singers before sporting events.

The Best Rendition of the National Anthem at a Sporting Event Ever

She prefers Whitney Houston’s lip synced version of the Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XXV in Tampa, Florida during the height of the first Gulf War. While that was a very good pre-recorded rendition, the best version ever done in my opinion was done just a week before at the NHL All-Star Game at the old Chicago Stadium. Wayne Messmer sang it and the crowd as it usually did and still does at Chicago Blackhawks games, stood up and cheered throughout the Anthem. It still brings chills and makes my hair stand up on my arm. Tremendous version.

Of course, you still have to recognize Jim Cornelison’s rendition at Soldier Field before the Seahawks-Bears game.

And here’s a story done by Comcast SportsNet Chicago about the tradition of cheering during the National Anthem at Blackhawks games featuring both Jim and Wayne.

That’s it.
