I remember her being interviewed before the performance and they asked her if she was nervous singing this. She said, no singing it is no problem, I'm just worried with all the people watching, I might trip over my own feet or something. She had such confidence singing it.
After the satanist tranny bE gONE CE WHO MADE ADULT BLACK MALES SCREAM in shock of its neck and black eyes trance.....but GOD shut off the power HE IS ALWAYS TALKING TO US
Renee’s Kennedy Center Honors tribute sent me here! I’m not really an opera fan but I can’t believe she was the first opera singer to sing Star Spangled Banner at the Christmas Day of all Football Sundays! Brava
This was very classy. Whitney is my favorite singer and her version was one of my favorites...Rene...opera version is on point....I have added it to my favorite list...
Whitney, is the pop version that sounds so free and healthy and she basically sang it as written, with very few flourishes unlike today's singers who tend to oversing our anthem, like Mrs. Flemming - she sings it as almost as written. Classical person here, so both are the epitome of excellence. In my opinion.
What a thrill, after sitting through so many tired old versions of this song. I would actually listen to it if it always sounded like that. Renee was asked by a naïve interviewer before the performance if she was nervous about hitting the high notes. She gracefully said she wasn't bothered by it. I guess she really wasn't!
Right. Those who's not interested in opera or classical singing may find her unknown. But she really is one of the biggest name of opera soprano in her time, she's quite reliable.
After some voice lessons I came back to this video. She is beyond magnificent IMHO. Of course, I have seen other videos of her singing and loved her in them too.
In my opinion, this is the best performance of the National Anthem since Whitney Houston did it in 1991. Brava, Renée. You're talented beyond measure, and I feel honored that you would sing our national anthem.
Trevor Jefferson Renee's rendition of the National Anthem was wonderful! By what standard do you judge that it was, "Not received well by the crowd"?? As a Broncos fan, I think the National Anthem was the best part of that Super Bowl!!!
So The Star Spangled Banner can basically only be performed correctly by classically trained opera singers and Whitney Houston. I wish whoever is in charge of this for events would understand this.
Her high notes at 2:20 - The land of the freee... and so on are just great. A joy to see. A pity the video was cut before the ending. But wow, what a star!
@@SC4368661 A national anthem is the song of the nation. A song that is supposed to be able to be sung by everyone. Not a song that can only be sung by the opera singers or such superbly talented signers like Whitney Huston. This song is not sing able by the every day Joe. So what's the point then.
1:03-1:07..When God shows us whats to come..🤎💙 but things will workout for you💛🖤 God bless you Mr.Wilson🫡 1:08-1:10 Looks over at Mr.Wilson you will make it through❤️ God bless you Mr.Manning🫡 1:45-1:51..God got me here Glory Glory Glory🙌🏾this is how it is when you understand where every good thing in your life comes from God and you give thanks OK, Renee is hitting notes. God bless you and yours daily 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Well yeah this is probably what will you consider an opera version of The Anthem. Whitney Houston sings A blues version of The Anthem. Whitney's vocal dexterity goes Way Beyond this. It's also a Goosebumps hair standing on end with a tear in your eye version.
It’s frustrating to hear all these folks saying that Whitney’s version of our anthem is so much better than Renée’s. IN MY OPINION, Renée’s version is MUCH better!!! A big plus for Renée is that she is still ALIVE to sing it!!!
@@entity9588 Lol!! Never understood this stance - Whitney's is an all time great, but by no mean's the clear #1. There have been so many incredible performances since hers, a handful of which are IMO clearly better (including this one). I don't think I'm deaf either... ;)
Superb! Brilliant idea to have an opera singer/star show how the SSB should be sung. No one has ever sung it better at any Superbowl or other sporting event! I'm not an opera fan, but this is as good version of the SSB as I have heard! Move over Beyoncé and Whitney...
she sang the star spangled banner the way my middle school music teacher MrsNancyTaylor would have wanted the correct way.she mentioned during that period of time the late 1970s that Johnny Mathis was the only popular singer who interpreted the song correctly.
After every Super Bowl Anthem I wish they had you do it again. No one measures up to your Beatiful Voice. I hope you can do Super Bowl LV in Tampa where I Live.
Absolute BEST rendition of the National Anthem for a superbowl EVER. FINALLY we have someone to sing it nobly, correct, and with dignity. I am sick and tired of these woke divas that totally fuck up the words. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, Ms FLEMMING!!!!!!
By a long way, in terms of live performances of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at an American style football game, this rendition remains as the "Gold Standard"...
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic to which it stands. One nation, Under God! Indivisible with Liberty, and Justice for all!!
for the bazillion-ith time - Whitney Houston LIP SYNCHED her version back in 1990 - it's a long known fact - she has in fact, crushed the anthem many times live, but THIS is an actual LIVE PERFORMANCE, which is why it's the best SB rendition of all time...
She could have easily done a high E here. Heard her do an incredible version of You'll never Walk Alone in Germany or somewhere. Those notes just flowed out of her like water.
This is how out National Anthem should be performed. With dignity and respect. I absolutely hate these hip hop/ R & B versions of the Star Bangles Banner.
@Iron Phoenix I absolutely hate them too. Classical music for the win! Here's my video commentary about the superiority of classical music. th-cam.com/users/shortsmWrlt-5LQi0?feature=share

Her likes come once every century, maybe.
This was very classy. Whitney is my favorite singer and her version was one of my favorites...Rene...opera version is on point....I have added it to my favorite list...
Renee Fleming nailed it...... No one else has ever come close.

@@marcojimenez595 renee actually sang it live though, whitney's was confirmed lip synced.
You Americans should be proud of having a singer like Renée Fleming :-)
We are!!
@Augusto Jorgensen Only in your opinion was it “Awful”!!
@Gus BSB Was that before or after she became a crack addict, Gus?
She is the best.
She's the best!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yeah, it’s not even at the top of her range. She has sung much more difficult music for much tougher crowds.
After some voice lessons I came back to this video. She is beyond magnificent IMHO. Of course, I have seen other videos of her singing and loved her in them too.
Whitney had the best taped performance.
This is the best live performance.
Two special singers each unique in their own way.
This is world class. It’s rich in tone. No surprise here. The best in the world.
Opera singer singing the national anthem 💚
And that's the way it should be!!!
Bravo Renee!!!! The National Anthem was the best part of the whole program!
Wow what a performance. ❤
I cried while watching this. Wonderful. ❤
Words fail me, but tears do not. 👏🏼 👏🏼
Renee Fleming was absolutely brilliant. Best performance l've ever seen. thank you poster !!!
Fantastic performance! Brava!
I simply do not understand how someone could put a thumbs down to this.
Kind of person who prefer Fergie's rendition 😁
Probably Colin Kaepernicks fans.
And a whole lot more folks don't understand how I could thumbs down Whitney Houston's version.
Perhaps they are tone-deaf???
Not everyone likes the sound of opera type singing
In my opinion, this is the best performance of the National Anthem since Whitney Houston did it in 1991. Brava, Renée. You're talented beyond measure, and I feel honored that you would sing our national anthem.
+Kris Osterhout She's better than Whitney. Whitney still added some extra notes.
Ihdc1 she sings good classically yes, but her performance was not as good, fluidly sung, or felt by the crowed as Whitney.
Trevor Jefferson Renee's rendition of the National Anthem was wonderful! By what standard do you judge that it was, "Not received well by the crowd"?? As a Broncos fan, I think the National Anthem was the best part of that Super Bowl!!!
Ihdc1 So??? I prefer Whitney Houston’s because hers seemed a lot cleaner
Lord Voldemort What?? What do you mean,"a lot cleaner"?? It is impossible to fairly compare an opera singer to a pop singer!
So The Star Spangled Banner can basically only be performed correctly by classically trained opera singers and Whitney Houston. I wish whoever is in charge of this for events would understand this.
Whitney again...*exasperated sigh*
I. Don't. Like. Her. Style!!! Blues and soul aggravate and irritate me.
AGREED.
@@courtneykayser1213 thank you so much!
Not Whitney anymore.
@@trwent I know 😢
this is what classically abby thinks she sounds like
Beautiful, classy, voice is out of this world!!! Thank you. This song always gives me goose bumps.
Her high notes at 2:20 - The land of the freee... and so on are just great. A joy to see. A pity the video was cut before the ending. But wow, what a star!
She’s one of the best such a beautiful full lyric soprano
Best performance ever
I'm weeping. Just glorious!
Angelic. Renee is one of my favorites. That high note gave me goosebumps. Awesome
My glasses broke when I was watching this is amazing
This is how the high notes should be sung, effortless.
Effortless for her is expected ... such a show off... almost seems out of tune and with not much grace !
Tells you something when your national anthem can only be sung by an opera singer. Need a different song I would say. A song for the people.
@@ajrocks12x I agree I'd much rather have America the beautiful be the national anthem,

@@chaconazo7 classically trained Soprano says, quite in tune and with much grace.
Still the best to ever do it.
Excellent!!! Stunning! Such ease in the passaggio and gorgeous legato singing! Exemplary!
Hands down BEST Super Bowl National anthem performance ever! Renee Fleming is the voice of an angel for sure period!
She is a class act and love hearing her perform
She is so wonderful !!!
Incredibly beautiful!
What a spectacular performance by a magnificent singer, Renee Fleming.🎉
High note was beautiful!
1:03-1:07..When God shows us whats to come..🤎💙 but things will workout for you💛🖤
God bless you Mr.Wilson🫡

OK, Renee is hitting notes. God bless you and yours daily
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
A most stirring, singular and historic expression of the "The Star Spangled Banner".
Four years ago today and still enjoying it.
Beautiful, Renee !
That was beautiful!! I cried and couldn't breathe! Absolutely wonderful! God bless the America we were given!
See a doctor.
I just saw a Classic Arts Showcase music video of Renee and was reminded of this
Meanwhile, at my house, every piece of glass shatters. A stunning performance!
MYTH AND NOT EVEN ELLA SHATTERED GLASS...
@@alieshsonoma922it's a joke, kiddo.
Exceptional! RF’s version outshines the 2021 version by far!
Goosebumps, baby! Goosebumps!
Perfection!
Shes so great..
The best performance of our national anthem. Hands down.
Whitney is much better. You're deaf if you think otherwise. Its a fact not an opinion.
Well yeah this is probably what will you consider an opera version of The Anthem. Whitney Houston sings A blues version of The Anthem. Whitney's vocal dexterity goes Way Beyond this. It's also a Goosebumps hair standing on end with a tear in your eye version.

I love u Renee. Beautiful voice
Wow!
Divine singing, that does perfect justice to the National Anthem, which gets butchered over and over by others.
She didn’t even really need a mic.
Diva extraordinaire.
Among other things, it’s her pinpoint control that is so incredible.

Renee, Whitney, and Lady Gaga ( at Biden inauguration) are my 3 faves.
Kudos to you for appreciating all of America instead of dissing one of these!
Wonderful singer
Now that's the way you do it

Oh my god I cried. Beautiful
Brava!!!🌹🌹
Top ten if not top 5. WELL DONE!
At least one music expert called her the greatest female singer of the last 60 years.
I'm SO GLAD I'm not the only one who thinks Renee is the best!
@@highlysensitiveforestgreen2096
I would love to see an entire Renee Fleming and Andrea Bocelli concert.
Has never been done better.
This was a wonderful, beautiful performance! They need to have more opera singers do this! Maybe have Plácido Domingo do it next?
Singer and Song are ONE. They are AMERICAN Through and Through !
The best!!!
By a long way, in terms of live performances of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at an American style football game, this rendition remains as the "Gold Standard"...
Whitney Houston's version is and always will be the gold standard. Not this crap.

The best performance
Aww nice. I love a babino caro. Found it thru youtube thank u.
Opera just kills it.
Amazing
Amazing 👍🏻
better than Fergie
That's not difficult !
A cat slowly dying would sound better than fergie
My mom and dad in the bedroom would sound better than Fergie or God forbid Yoko Ono.
The Best!

Damn clear Soprano voice is so powerful🦾

I saw that it was the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra playing on the recording, right?
I thought this was the best rendition
I love your voice so beautiful
Renée Fleming This is more of the all new "Operatic-Gospel" version ala Angel Blue or Candace Y Johnson. Stay blessed & #StayHealthy.
who else has to watch these for chorus
That is a good assignment !
Yes, She is Amazing. What a beautiful voice. Our National Anthem!
My favorite Soprano, along with Birgit Nilsson!
Never heard it sung better
She could have easily done a high E here. Heard her do an incredible version of You'll never Walk Alone in Germany or somewhere. Those notes just flowed out of her like water.
Do you mean how she turned the word "free" into "free-o"? That bugged me & took the song from an 8.5 to a 5 for me. 🤷♀️
@@jbo9150 she's really upset that you dropped her to a 5.
