Favorite Super Bowl National Anthem performance?
 
List of national anthem performers at the Super Bowl - Wikipedia

Whitney Houston was very good with hers. Probably is my favorite. And we do have one tomorrow.

Reba McEntire - Wikipedia

Whitney's will most likely never be topped, even though she didn't sing it live.

The Star Spangled Banner (Whitney Houston recording - Wikipedia)

I see that. Did not know that.

I prefer the song performed as it was written. This country has one national anthem. Performing it in a manner that "makes it your own" is insulting. That's not the anthem.
Absolutely hate when it's embellished with squealing, off tune sounds, incorrect pauses, extra or missing or improperly pronounced words.

Christina Aguilera, Super Bowl XLV - LOL

Totally agree.

The best one is the Air Force band rendition.

Lol...it certainly was entertaining.

I very much enjoy every performance equally where nobody is kneeling.

Chris Stapleton.

Ahhh, but she did, although no one heard it.

Apparently all the Super Bowl Nation Anthem renditions, are a combination of "real" & lip sync/pre-recorded.

How often do Super Bowl halftime headliners lip-sync instead of singing live? [Video]

Absolutely! And while I don't think she ever did it at the Super Bowl, "nobody does it better" than Jackie Evancho.

She still "stylized" the anthem quite a bit

Ignatz 02-12-2024 09:14 AM

Couldn’t tell ta’. I politely listen but put no thought into the anthem.

Whitneys was the BEST BY FAR. Never be topped.

HORNET 02-12-2024 11:17 AM

Last night’s was terrible

Richpetty42 02-12-2024 11:46 AM

Whitney Huston was by far the best performance I’ve seen in my years alive

davefin 02-12-2024 06:46 PM

Which National Anthem are you referring to? It appears there are now two separate anthems in the NFL.

Uh-Huh, Not an American, huh?

Glad you show the U. S. the respect it DESERVES worldwide by listening politely.

Maybe YOU SHOULD put a lot more thought into the HISTORY of America and what our National Anthem represents, if you are a United States of America citizen.
