The MLS team, Charlotte FC in North Carolina, did not take home the win against LA Galaxy with a 0-1 loss.
They did, however, snag the record for highest MLS fans in attendance in 2022, with just under 75k spectators.

Today’s video shows the heart of the MLS fans who triumphantly take over singing the star-spangled banner, after Michelle Brooks Thompson, winner of “The Voice” cuts out due to technical errors.
Michelle commented in an interview about how the error was unintended, but was “a magical moment”.

The crowd begins singing in the beginning, Michelle then starts singing, “Whose broad stripes and bright stars” before cutting out completely.
Without a moment of hesitation, the entire crowd continues on with the performance in unison, gradually increasing in volume, until the whole stadium is roaring the ballad.

Fellow YouTuber Kurt D comments, “Honestly, they should do the anthem this way all the time. Much more powerful and uniting and standing there with your hat on your heart for a few minutes. “
One could hope the energy of this crowd takes on a new tradition for more spirited renditions of this timeless, treasured anthem.
Check out the amazing moment in the video below.
