Marlana VanHoose National Anthem

[Kung Wu]

Maybe this was posted before, but this talented young lady was only 16 years old at the time she sung this, has cerebral palsy, and is blind. She sang this before a UK vs OleMiss basketball game in 2012. Not sure if it goes in Off Topic or Around the NCAA, but after you watch, you won't care.

She had me at "see".

I fell out of my chair at "glare".

I passed out at "free", and still haven't come to.

Thanks for the lemonade!

I don't care what the price is. Book her for the Shox for senior night!

A little more old-time country than I'd prefer, but a VERY impressive voice. You can identify a vocal powerhouse when she's able to sing the high notes ("glare") louder instead of softer. Sometimes noteworthy gifts come wrapped in what might seem to be unlikely packages.
