I don't care what song he's singing he has a gift of a beautiful voice. No one can deny that. So people who wanna pick on a child you know what you can do and where you can go. Find what your talent is drill into that instead of trolling because you're unhappy. Smooches

I hope as you grow older and share your gifts with our citizens, you will realize how much so many people appreciate a powerful, dignified and beautiful rendition of our national anthem as you have given us. The emotions run deep on this particular piece of music and you perform it with dignity and honor. I hope some people in your audience(s) share with you what it means to them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now let’s teach him how evil that song is
His mama was doing too much with that walk and glasses! 🤐
