Jessica Sanchez – ‘US National Anthem’ – Pacquiao vs Bradley

Jessica Sanchez sang the "Star Spangled Banner" or the US National Anthem at the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley fight in Las Vegas.

American Idol season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez sang the “Star Spangled Banner” during the pre-fight ceremonies of Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao’s welterweight title defense against American challenger Timothy Bradley on Sunday.

Team Pacquiao had earlier considered Sanchez singing the Philippine national anthem but according to reports, they already asked another Filipino-American teenage singer, Kirby Asunto, to handle “Lupang Hinirang” for the fight.

So perhaps Sanchez will sing “Lupang Hinirang” in Pacquiao’s next fight.

  1. Jessica sang it really beautifully. I saw tears from the audience. Big, old men in tears. Definitely a standing ovation.
