Nervous 9-year-old girl stunned the crowd with powerful national anthem performance
National Anthem sung at the beginning of any live sporting event is always one of the best things about live sports. During a 2008 football game, a nine-year-old made the event memorable with her perfect voice.
Coco Jones took the center stage in the middle of the football field prior to a football match between St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears and sang the US National Anthem before a sea of audience donning an adorable football jersey.
A YouTube video uploaded by Jones herself on her official channel showed her smiling at the camera nervously before the event. But once she starts singing the words to the National Anthem, she proves that age can never limit talent.
Once her powerful voice starts to come out, the crowd is simply amazed and transfixed in the patriotic moment. At times, the soothing vocals coming out does not seem to match the young girl who seems to be far immature for the perfect emotions carried in the song.
