  • Among the annals of national anthems as a prelude to sporting events, few have topped the one delivered by Whitney Houston before Super Bowl XXV in 1991 in Tampa, Florida. A woman, her incredible voice, and the bare minimum of extraneous notes. Her rendition came at a particularly patriotic time, just after the onset of the Persian Gulf War, and was released as a single. It was re-released after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Houston donated all proceeds to charity. She ranks among the best of all-time because of the circumstances and ... that voice..
    This video includes carefully synchronized closed caption (CC) so the audience can learn the words to this song.

      agreed. But others - especially the 'I-love-so-and-so" and have not ability to listen critically will prefer others' versions. Clearly, they are neither singers, nor people who can see past their own personal preferences. That's why you have such vitriolic responses on sites these days. The under 30 crowd was not around when the REAL singers were singing, so their basis of comparison is pretty poor.

      @kungfupandaswagkungfuupeng1392 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mcbrion1951 just because somebody is under 30 does not mean that we were not around for real singers. Luciano Pavarotti is one of the greatest singers of all time and i was around for him and Josh Groban Who has the best male Voice of the 21st century sang the song just as well as Whitney even though she did a phenomenal job. Just because you are older doesn't mean you no more about music either.

    • @mcbrion1951
      @mcbrion1951 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My apologies, Kung. I should have qualified that the people under 30 have not yet discovered music from the forties and fifties. and you're right just because somebody is older doesn't mean they know more about music. however, in my case I was a singer in a band so I do know more about music, although I appreciate and honor that you were absolutely correct that age is no indicator of having more knowledge. I think we can see that in the way our older leaders how are running the country! And most of them are around my age. So you're absolutely right and I shouldn't have generalized. Thank you for calling me on that.. I'll be much more careful about that in the future.

      She always did that drawn out e like eeeEEEEEeeee with high notes like in the word free. I watch the Star Spangled Banner right before 4 AM on Pix 11 NY right before the morning news and there was a female named Sheridan Gates with long red/brown hair singing it this morning and she did that freeeEEEEEE like Whitney did. I live in eastern PA and we get Philly and NY stations on our cable TV. I had this on VHS tape that was recorded by my late grandfather, my late mom's father who passed in Dec 2000 at his home from colon cancer. His wife passed Jan 2006 from melanoma in the hospice unit at the hospital, they got a Panasonic VCR around 1990 and I now have it. Not sure where the tape is. My mom passed June 14, 2022 in the hospital because her lungs were bad.

      @C 1922 This song was written as it is for a reason. People want to sing along to it. Whitney didnt add anything over the top extra. She didnt make it into an r&b or make it into a vocal show off. She didnt try to change the melody and it was a very smart move. No wonder it is the only version which made the charts and is not only mostly viewed on youtube and is by far considered the best version of the anthem. Thats go show what people want! artists sing to the people and have to think about the people and not about how well they can do the runs and how can I change it up so I can show of my vocals and use the most watched tv broadcast to their advantage.

      Weyes Noir Stop splitting hairs... she DID sing live, but along with a pre recording (from just a few days earlier) due to all the noise... AS IS DONE as a rule so the audience can hear above all the noise... Why does it even matter? Bottom line is, she belted out our anthem with patriotism and pride! There was no voice enhancement, no Mili Vanilli bullshit... Fucking troll... ftw.usatoday.com/2017/02/whitney-houston-national-anthem-video-super-bowl-51-2017

There was no other version that reached top 10 like Whitney’s. Her version was also made so much money that she donated that to terrorist attack. So if you tell me, Stapleton’s version is only 2nd best after hers. The iconic and successful of Whitney’s version beat any other version.
