Mariah Carey, America the Beautiful

From King Louie's Video Vault: Mariah Carey burst onto the national stage with this performance of "America the Beautiful" at the 1990 NBA Finals.  This has been posted before @ YouTube, but with lower quality.  (I'd programmed my SVHS machine to record the game, then kept the tape because of the great performance by this then-unknown singer.)  

Testament to Mariah's instant impact: pro athletes usually tune out the national anthem, but this rendition left John Salley of the Detroit Pistons shaking his head.  OK, Coach Daly was apparently less impressed.  :-)
