(3 Feb 2020) GOSPEL LEGEND YOLANDA ADAMS BLESSED AFTER PERFORMING "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL" AT THE SUPER BOWL Grammy-winning gospel legend Yolanda Adams says she feels 'blessed' after performing "America the Beautiful" at the Super Bowl.
"What a pleasure and a privilege to be able to do it at this time in our country," she told The Associated Press after her performance Sunday. "We're dealing with so much — Kobe and the passing of the eight passengers along with him; the coronavirus coming over and things like that; the trials, the impeachment — all of that. Right now the country needs some hope and I'm just glad I got a chance to do my part."
Adams was also excited to finish the performance and enjoy the event: "I feel really good. It's over. I get a chance to go into a suite and eat," she laughed.
The singer said she loves attending sports events like the Super Bowl since her father was a coach. For her performance, she was joined by The Children's Voice Chorus of Miami..
"They are absolutely impeccable. I love those kids. They are the sweetest, most mild-mannered kids you ever want to meet," she said. "They are great, absolutely great. And they sounded fantastic."
