believe me, they did. Whitney's rendition of the National Anthem literally topped the music charts after this. Name one other person who can top the charts with the National Anthem!
Yesss, like that woman singing along and waving the flag 😅 Gosh, i really wonder what she must be thinking everytime she sees this recording and realizes the scope of that performance 😂😊
I saw Whitney in concert (1987), and was stunned -- and thrilled -- that not a single note was even the tiniest bit flat or sharp. After she passed, Lionel Ritchie recalled how they used to teasingly call her "the gift" because she'd go into studio to sing for a track and nail it in ONE take.
I’ve listened to the audio concerts from her first two tours and I haven’t found one with a single missed note or her ever taking a short, singing every song and always singing them differently. Although it was the same set list, each show took me on a different, thrilling ride! They also called her One-Take Houston per her bodyguard. He said the coffee would still be hot and she would be completely done recording. She said herself that she would sometimes do a second take to give the producer options lol. The GOAT!!!
Forget the Super Bowl and the national anthem. This is one of the greatest vocal performances of all time, period. There will never be another Whitney.
You asked how many people? > 750 million around the world were RIVETED by this performance, and not one has ever forgotten it - nor will anyone EVER sing it better. It’s HERS.
I'm SWAHILI but I believe Whitney Houston is THE GREATEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME I just can't believe I'm binge watching someone else's national anthem 😭❤️👑
John Clayton also deserves massive credit for the absolutely beautiful orchestration he wrote for this rendition. The performance from the Florida Symphony was just perfect.
And she is so relaxed, smiling at people, and making it look so effortless. Sad because she looks so happy and healthy. Loss of a national treasure for sure
I was watching it right then and there, and I remember feeling - with goosebumps - that it was the absolute best I had ever heard. These decades later . . . I still feel the same.
This is the America I envy. Everyone seemed so proud and devoted during this time. I hate how divided we are now. I can't say that I'm truly proud of my country today.
I'm German and I feel patriotic in an American way. ;) Thx great comment to the great Whitney Houston. I'm glad having seen her live in Frankfurt 1988 that was one of the best live concerts I've ever seen.
She is just beautiful Whitney in her American colored athletic suit...belting it. She is completely comfortable here. I'm sure this is not the first time she has sung it...but she knows it needs to be the best time she has ever done it. She is so confident because she knows how to sing...add in her smile, precious demeanor and it is awe inspiring.
Watch this version in which she sang the first verse acapella. th-cam.com/video/qM9-DONjnTc/w-d-xo.html Whitney Elizabeth Houston is a once in human existence miracle/gift that must be cherished for our future generations to hear and see what true greatness and vocal divinity sounds and looks like!
I remember people were so amazed that they didn’t believe she sung it, so she opened the Welcome Home Heroes concert with it and nailed it again. There was another one she did at a Lakers game in the 80s that was totally different and in a high key, more soprano than mezzo that was great! Thanks for the video, it brought back good memories!!
Great reaction and analysis! Whitney nailed it perfectly. One thing that is often overlooked is the orchestral arrangement. The arranger was jazz great, John Clayton. He changed the time signature from 3/4 to 4/4 and modified the chord structure just enough to give you those goosebump moments. Combined with Whitney's voice and a great orchestra, this rendition hit the Trifecta of greatness. I love Chris Stapleton's version (and he's from my home state of Kentucky), but I enjoy Whitney's more.
That's the finest version of the national anthem period that every time you hear someone sings the national anthem you can't help but think back of her rendition as the greatest of all time. You're so true, no side riffs but original as it gets. Oh so powerful and beautiful. The greatest ever Whitney Houston.
This version IS the greatest ever sang. I realize that others are more apt to pick somebody from their generation. I watched it when it happened & it was unbelievable. My goosebump’s goosebumps had goosebumps. As far as never hearing her sing a bad note, you won’t until after Bobby Brown helped her get on her cocaine habit. Her voice was never the same as it was in the 80’s & 90’s!
Ok so what you’re not gonna do is start that blame Bobby mess again. It has already been documented that Whitney was already doing drugs before she met Bobby. Now while he may not have stopped her, he did not introduce her to it.
Uh…, Whitney had her very first 8-ball as a birthday “gift” when she was 16 years old. BB had nothing to do with her being introduced to drugs. People she dated before him ended relationships with her due to her cocaine use.
Whitney does put a few riffs, runs and alternate notes in here and makes it her own, but the difference is that everyone else feels like they’re trying too hard to make it their own. Whitney makes it seem so effortless that it feels like the anthem has always been this incredible and it’s not, she changed the game forever and everyone who followed was trying to top what she did even though they never will
She sang this in February 1991 towards the end of the Gulf War. US Patriotism is running high. Her rendition captured the collective patriotism of the country.
Nick, I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly with your assessment of the way she sings it--as it was written, pure and simple. The way you summed it up couldn't have been better--it wasn't about her or for her, but for the song itself, and what it means. Then, as if that wasn't enough, as she was leaving the stage, there was a 4-jet flyover! Wow!
You said it. ‘I don’t think I’ve heard Whitney Houston sing a note out of tune.’ She didn’t need help, technology to do that. Just her absolute talent as a musician.
My family and I saw this live on TV and were blown away! I remember for the longest time all the major American TV shows but good morning America and the today show could not stop talking about her performance
Whitney was musical performer perfection, the likes of which we will never see again. I love that she didn't change the anthem at all in an attempt to make it about herself. She led the nation in this moment when we had just gone to war in the Persian Gulf and we were entirely uncertain as to what was going to happen to our family members who were over there.
I agree with you 100% my friend. She was for sure a legend and this is by far the best rendition and always will be. Nobody will ever touch her natural beauty and talent. Clearly this was no struggle for her to sing....it was easy and natural as she smiled away. I miss still miss her. RIP Whitney Houston.
It was because of THIS right here that so many other people have tried to do what she did and NO ONE could ever do it like her. Why she's the GOAT. She still is the only artist to hit the Billboard Hot 100 Chart not once BUT twice with this. It first peaked at #20 just weeks after she performed this and then after the 9/11 attacks, they re-released it and it did EVEN BETTER, reaching the top ten, peaking at #6!!! She had it all. Drop dead gorgeous, could act, could sing but ironically, with one of her biggest hits being "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," she couldn't dance. Re-watch that video!
Love this singing of our national anthem by Whitney Houston, it gives me chills it is so beautiful and perfect. God bless Whitney, she was one of a kind and her music will be listened to, and loved, forever.
Whitney’s voice is in a different stratosphere. This rendition is one of the best I’ve heard. We will never ever hear a more fitting version of our country’s national anthem. Miss her and God bless her soul and our country 😊
Truly the BEST national anthem you will ever here , some much passion for her flag, I'm English and I can not think of anything better then this TRUELY THE BEST......
They should just make it a law that this is the version played at every event. She took a song that often feels like a dirge and made it inspirational and worthy of being a national anthem. No one can top this; no matter how hard they try. A lot of today's singers think they're taking inspiration from this performance and end up over singing.
Well...have you forgotten Karen Carpenter? She just as good a vocalist, with a bigger range, goes lower to mid soprano. Whitney was at her prime and 'in the moment,' most of us were. She knew this was a BIG freaking deal.
@@patcurrie9888 Karen was amazing and iconic. But Whitney is at another level...the power and the runs she could do with her voice...Karen couldnt do that. She had the perfect, beautiful, pure toned voice....love it. But Whitney could do more with her voice.
@@donkey3187 I agree Whitney had a lot of power in her voice and she could go much higher than Karen (soaring) before she cracked out. Whitney is the poster child for Drugs Destroy Dreams, A crying shame. For Karen she was done in by trying to get her evil mother's love, staving herself.
IN HEAVEN is where she is. She had a gift from God and He took her home. Cissy said she knew Whitney was not meant to be here long with such a gift. R.I.P. WHITNEY. ❤️
Whitney was incredible. By far and away, the best vocal. But also… the arrangement was the other reason this is so good. Best National Anthem rendition ever! Shout out to her track suit too
I am a woman and served In the US AIR FORCE and if in uniform would have never been able to hold back the tears, THE IS NOT ABOUT HER SHE IS THE COUNTRY IN HER VOCE SHE SAYS WHAT WE ARE AMERICA!!!!!!
Gives me chills.. ALWAYS!!! When I watch it, I can’t help but tear up.. makes feel ABSOLUTELY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!! She definitely moved me.. no one.. and I mean NO ONE HAS SUNG IT BETTER or even come close to the way she sang it!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
in an outdoor venue like a stadium the singer generally hear themselves (and or the music) out of time. There is usually a delay. I can't even believe she could do this. Amazing
Whitney was a classy woman, a woman of God. She always kept it simple, because true mind-blowing talent is like that. It is simple. There’s no flash, there are no fillers, it’s just talent. She sang for her country first and foremost. Chills! Proud to be 🇺🇸❤️
I think everyone who watches this performance smiles except maybe fergi. It's such a piece of magic. Even when she goes slightly flat she just smiles and nails the rest of it. Absolute specimen of natural talent and star quality
WOW!!! Nick, bud, you have taken me back. I remember that day I was an 18-year-old black guy madly in love with a 6,1 blonde-haired, blue-eyed Canadian boy; we both got into UFT. He was a year ahead of me and invited me to Tampa, Florida. He loved football and played in high school. I pretend I love the game. After she sang The Star Spangled, he told me I'll marry you one day. She was not even trying this, for she was a God-given talent. She was playful and enjoying herself. Oh! We got married in 2005
It's like they called her up last minute and she just threw on a tracksuit, flawed everybody in that giant stadium, jumped off the stage and went back home in time to watch Dynasty. I don't think Whitney truly knew how her singing touched people.
Those people in the crowd didn’t know they were witnessing the greatest rendition of the Star Spangled Banner of all time.
Witnessing history literally unfolding right in front of their eyes. 🥹
believe me, they did. Whitney's rendition of the National Anthem literally topped the music charts after this. Name one other person who can top the charts with the National Anthem!
Yesss, like that woman singing along and waving the flag 😅 Gosh, i really wonder what she must be thinking everytime she sees this recording and realizes the scope of that performance 😂😊
Bc they knew it was pre-recorded
@@ClutchGene actually they heard it live, we heard the record. two different versions was going
Whitney was known for her clarity☺️clear as clear waters 🙌🏽🇺🇸🎙️
Her voice gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. 32 years later and this is still the best.
When you hit billboard charts with a national anthem... you are in a league of your own.
I saw Whitney in concert (1987), and was stunned -- and thrilled -- that not a single note was even the tiniest bit flat or sharp. After she passed, Lionel Ritchie recalled how they used to teasingly call her "the gift" because she'd go into studio to sing for a track and nail it in ONE take.
I’m so jealous. I was so born into the wrong generation 😂
I’ve listened to the audio concerts from her first two tours and I haven’t found one with a single missed note or her ever taking a short, singing every song and always singing them differently. Although it was the same set list, each show took me on a different, thrilling ride! They also called her One-Take Houston per her bodyguard.

@@jacobb6585you not alone LOL
She was a super nova!
I GET CHILLS AND TEARS LISTENING TO THIS... BEST SINGER EVER AND EPIC RENDITION OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM... RIP LEGEND
Whitney is the greatest vocalist of all time !❤️
Facts
easily. i’ve said this to numerous people
She is.
I agree
And is 🥰
Whitney’s voice is pure expression of the Divine…R.I.P. Whitney.🔥✨
She was incredible
Forget the Super Bowl and the national anthem. This is one of the greatest vocal performances of all time, period. There will never be another Whitney.
There will never be another of any of the many iconic singers we've had.
You do realize this was a pre-recorded version of it. And she was not really singing live. She pre recorded it a few days before the super bowl
@ rebeccaahopkins9522 you speak facts... there will never
Understood, but the circumstances, the context, added a great deal to the meaning AND emotional response.
You asked how many people? > 750 million around the world were RIVETED by this performance, and not one has ever forgotten it - nor will anyone EVER sing it better. It’s HERS.
I'm SWAHILI but I believe Whitney Houston is THE GREATEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME
I just can't believe I'm binge watching someone else's national anthem 😭❤️👑
Yes, most people agree that Whitney OWNS the Star Spangled Banner! 🇺🇸
This is her song now tbh, they should just play this at every sporting event. Everyone else can fight for second place
The Voice Whitney Houston version of the star spangled banner has always and will always be my all time favorite ❤️
She not only had an incredible voice but made it look effortless
I heard this live, and will never forget it. It brings tears to my eyes, every time... and I'm not even American!
Whitney " The Voice " Houston was a beast before the term became a thing. Rest easy queen. Still sorely missed. Gone but not forgotten.
This is why she is called "THE VOICE" ❤❤
This was insane to watch live, we knew we were witnessing greatness. I still get chills all these years later.
Damn! You were lucky to see and hear her LIVE! I was 5 years old
Still get goosebumps………. She did that !!!! The Voice❤
John Clayton also deserves massive credit for the absolutely beautiful orchestration he wrote for this rendition. The performance from the Florida Symphony was just perfect.
And she is so relaxed, smiling at people, and making it look so effortless. Sad because she looks so happy and healthy. Loss of a national treasure for sure
Her talent can’t easily be matched. She truly had a gift. She is missed for sure.
cant---------wont
There’s a reason her voice still can’t be recreated by AI. It’s anointed and divine
I was watching it right then and there, and I remember feeling - with goosebumps - that it was the absolute best I had ever heard. These decades later . . . I still feel the same.
This is the America I envy. Everyone seemed so proud and devoted during this time. I hate how divided we are now. I can't say that I'm truly proud of my country today.
❤❤
Diversity was never a strength. It was unity.
@@nukita718diversity has always been americas strength lmao
I agree. I want that unity again 🙏🏿❤️🤍💙
@@nukita718name a time it was unity 😂😂😂
I'm not American and every time I hear this rendition of their anthem I feel like I've lived there my entire life xd
I'm German and I feel patriotic in an American way. ;) Thx great comment to the great Whitney Houston. I'm glad having seen her live in Frankfurt 1988 that was one of the best live concerts I've ever seen.
I believe she had perfect pitch. She was often referred to as "The Voice".
What a singer, no auto tune, no flat notes or pitch problems, an effortlessly beautiful and spine tingling rendition , Whitney was the goat
This was not live
She is just beautiful Whitney in her American colored athletic suit...belting it. She is completely comfortable here. I'm sure this is not the first time she has sung it...but she knows it needs to be the best time she has ever done it. She is so confident because she knows how to sing...add in her smile, precious demeanor and it is awe inspiring.

“My goosebumps’s goosebumps had goosebumps”? 😂😂😂 Such a perfectly delivered metaphore❣️May I borrow it, please?
Randall Cunningham was the one that introduced her to the dark side🤔😲😢😭
It's always a man's fault. Women never make their own bad decisions. Yawn....
Uh…, Whitney had her very first 8-ball as a birthday “gift” when she was 16 years old. BB had nothing to do with her being introduced to drugs. People she dated before him ended relationships with her due to her cocaine use.

Gives me chills and emotions every time I watch this video. What an amazing voice, R.I.P. Whitney.
one of the best reviews EVER, the facts and just the facts from her mouth to my ears.
What if this wasn’t even her best take. Omg
Whitney didn't like to waste takes. She generally got IT the first time lol. Her effortless masterful voice was untouchable .
There is so much character from her performance. And looks stunning too.
There will never be another Whitney!! She truly was “The voice” her tone is incredibly rich.
What a beautiful talented woman. Never, ever be another.
She pulls out tears from our eyes
I got goosebumps and I'm not even American.
I love you Whitney. Rip ❤🇺🇸🇬🇧
The best female voice I've ever heard in my life❤❤

When i was in the military. This rendition was playes on base int the movie theater 10 yrss afyer the fact.
Look, she took the national anthem to the number one song on the pop chartas,,, the freaking pop charts! Drop the mic
This is so emotional 😢❤❤❤❤❤
So emotional!!
🐐. There’s Whitney and everyone else.
I cry
THE BEST OF ALL TIME 😊🎉
I miss this USA. Look how proud we use to be of what we've accomplished.
It's like they called her up last minute and she just threw on a tracksuit, flawed everybody in that giant stadium, jumped off the stage and went back home in time to watch Dynasty. I don't think Whitney truly knew how her singing touched people.
Not a live performance, Whitney recorded the track a week or so before, then sang along to the recording
I love your reactions.
Bless you Mr Canadian. Love your love of such emotion of a national anthem, even if it is not your own. Well done.
