Probably one of the most emotional anthems ever sung, Lady Gaga delivered the perfect rendition and had everyone in her grip from start to finish. Rebecca you look absalutley stunning btw.
I'm a US Veteran that's served my country in the Armed Forces. I want to thank YOU Rebecca for not pausing our national anthem and waiting for the end before you began your assessment of Lady Gaga's performance. MAD RESPECT for you for that. You're a wonderful person.
Brad Cooney hay Brad, sounds like you haven't seen Gaga in concert. In this clip she see her really rocking half way into the song. th-cam.com/video/zNVPaLKOtfU/w-d-xo.html A lot of people hasn't seen her in this mode.
@@marileecornelius1777 : It should make you feel bad that you hate honest emotion as you do. You MOCK people who express it? Poor you. I'd hate to be so cynical.
I think one of my favorite things about this performance, when I watched this live, is that she did this so tastefully. A lot of other performers often try to go too bombastic and get too show-off-y (and ends up going on too long for what this song is supposed to be). She honestly did this so well. (Edit) one of my favorite performances I’ve seen her do was her Sound Of Music tribute. It blew me away.
kso 40 I agree with you, Lady Gaga always knows her audience. She wasn’t gonna come out in stretch pants and a mask on. She respects America very much and she knew her audience was the Super Bowl crowd and she knew exactly what she was supposed to do and did it with perfection.
you could feel the emotion in the song Gaga totally owned the national anthem like no other! I loved jennifer hudsons version and whitney houstons version also but man o man Gagas version moved me! Im still talking about it years later hehe
So agree! Also because it was unexpected by many who thought she couldn't sing. HA! That woman has the pipes AND the knowledge to use them. She KNEW it went out of the field and shocked alot of people. Absolute beautiful😍🇺🇸
@@daviddegraff5137Technically I the Gaga just blew Whitney out of that top position! Whitney’s was absolutely gorgeous and no one can sing like WH, but these are different singers, LG is more powerful than WH could ever be…and I’ve loved WH since I first heard her.
I honestly didnt know how talented Lady Gaga was. I to thought she was over the top but ever since A star is born it alliowed me to witness just how talented she is. Im so glad that shes shinning.
It was her performance of Julie Andrew's "The Sound of Music", at the 2015 Oscars, that dropped my jaw. And Bradley Cooper can be seen during the standing ovation.
Lady G has one of the most resonant, beautiful timbres in all her registers of any singers I’ve heard. She is polished, effortless and the epitome of accomplished ❤️
@@kimmyball4961- I know FOR A FACT Whitney's performance was pre-recorded, because I know people who did the sound. Having said that, they always have a pre-recorded back up in case something goes wrong. Weather, artist has a cold, sound mixing problems. Don't know why Whitney chose to lip synch, there weren't any external problems on the day.
Her musical studies are used meticulously. She can easily mix classical, jazz, RnB and rock.... ... There will be a genre called "Lady Gaga". It's quite amazing.
I didn't know about this performance from Lady Gaga. It was wonderful, and very tastefully done. I thought it was very cool Rebecca, that you played and listened to it first, then went back through and broke it down and analyzed it piece by piece. Loved your reaction as always!
I really appreciate that she puts her little taste of Gaga whilst still keeping a classical and respectful atmosphere to it. One of the greatest singers of our time for sure. She has the talent and the training to go the distance.
I honestly think that was the best diction rendition of the national anthem I have ever hurt I don't think I've understood the words of the American national anthem better than that rendition. I'm really amazed. I think the difficulty comes with the intervals is that what you meant to say? Lovely to see you RVA. Lots of love xxx
You can feel how much she loves our country. I was overwhelmed by emotions. Incredibly one of the best rendition of the National Anthem. Gaga proved herself to the world.
One of the best renditions of the anthem ever. Or that I had heard anyway. I was just coming around to being a fan of hers when I heard she was going to be doing this at the Super Bowl and I was curious to see what her approach would be. Leading up to it and performing it she did it with such class that my respect for her shot way up!
I've been waiting for this reaction video. Thank you. Gaga's performance was probably the best of all time, in my opinion at least. Whitney Houston was amazing, but was pre-recorded. I don't really like Mariah Carey as she over-sings a lot, but I guess she was ok too. Anyway, great reaction video as always.
Rebecca, I remember being blown away when i heard this at the time. Its even more impressive once you've gone away and heard some of the real turkey national anthem performances.....that are all out there on You Tube to live forever.....and that is what also adds to this performance for me, its the total commitment Gagas shows, really stretching herself to the edge of her ability, knowing full well that there's a world of critics out there etc etc. Funnily enough, before this performance I had in my mind that Gaga wouldn't be a very patriotic sort...but having heard this i had a strong sense that she was really determined to do the anthem justice. Well done her. I genuine creative talent.
Greatest National Anthem performance since Whitney Houston. I’m glad you didn’t pause it first, thank you for honoring our National Anthem and country. So glad we became friends over the last 244 years.😀🇺🇸🇬🇧
You know with her that she is going to give a solid performance and with a few minor embellishments, respect the anthem. So much better than those who think singing the anthem is about them showing off. Good job.
Whew.....I can't literal chills every single time I hear her do this! She is too much, LOL. I think she's one of the few people who didn't butcher that song trying to put their own spin on it. She should get to sing that every year!!
I thought she was a flash in the pan, gimmicky, auto-tuned performer when I first heard of her and saw her and heard her. Turns out I was completely wrong! Her music is not my cup of tea, but she does have a great voice for sure! And she always has the command of her crowd. Hard to knock that!
@@donvape336 I am definitely going to have to look that up! I was one of them the first of my friends who thought it was cool when Bing Crosby and David Bowie did The Little Drummer Boy on Saturday Night Live. They all thought it was corny, I thought it was historic. And it's become a classic so I think I won that one. Y'all have a great day! Peace!
Funny that was quite the opposite for me. Never really fan of mainstream pop but somehow I always respected her talent. It was just something different. Compare her to the Katy Perry's of that music world who can barely sing live.
Please react to Fergie singing the national anthem! It is a total meme, but I would genuinely be curious to hear what she does wrong, and you’re so sweet that it wouldn’t be a take down. Other great national anthem covers are the Dixie Chics (lovely harmonies) and Cher (such a lovely tone and true Alto-power).
Her halftime performance from this same Superbowl is super-WOW. Didn't even know about it until I watched 5 foot 2 on Netflix. She puts every ounce of her soul into her performance and her music.
I never paid much attention to lady Gaga when she first came out because her music wasn’t my type of music but about 4 years ago she did the half time show for the super bowl and I was blown away by her and her talent been a diehard fan ever since.
just wow. I have never heard that performance before. National anthems are traditionally dirgey affairs and usually there's nothing better than the end of them most times, but that was quality and enjoyable and i'm not even American...! Those jets with perfect timing were awesome! Well done Gaga!
I may not be a fan of her music at all, but that may have been one of the greatest and most emotional national anthems I've ever heard. I remember when I heard it live.
I love all the choices she makes here. Expressive, dynamic. Understand, often, her music isn't my cup of tea, but she's just infinitely talented. How do you not love her? And to be honest, it does get trying sometimes, keeping it so hardcore..LOL
i love Gaga's carpool karaoke with Corden. Just watched it a few days ago for the first time. She seems in near perfect voice, especially on "Million Reasons". Would love to see an analysis of her songs in that.
I love you and your channel so much! You have so much knowledge to share in a extreme authentic and fun way, learning from your technical descriptions of other artists which are heroes to me! Keep going with this amazing channel! Lots of love from Brazil 💕
Ya I know what you mean on this being hard to sing. People botch it 90% of the time 😂. This gave me chills several times. She totally nailed it. I love Lady Gaga so much. She has such a unique, warm voice. USA forever!! Love our anthem. 🇺🇸 🙋🏻♀️
Ohhh, lawd...it's a very hard song to sing. You have to start it super low to end up in a decent part of your voice/ability. She nailed it and kept it classy. Too many singers showboat this one and ruin the moment. I love your analysis. I am learning so much from the videos you do. Thank you. And your whole affect is pretty hilarious at times.
You nailed it Rebecca! By far my favorite version of the national anthem ever. Gaga 1 Jennifer Hudson 2 and Whitney Houstons #3 but all 3 are in a league of there own. I must say Gagas version literally sent goosebumps down my spine like no other.
Absolutely beautiful and perfect! I’m not a Gaga fan but that was amazing! Rebecca, you’re inspirational as always. Great reaction and video! Thank you again.
Wow Rebecca Gaga completely killed it 🤙 I live in Denver the Broncos went on to do the same great start to a great game thank you I was too geeked to have paid attention live Kindest regards
I got so choked up the first time I heard Lady Ga Ga sing this. She and Whitney Houston hold the tie in my opinion singing the best versions of our National Anthem.
Rebecca, I am new to your channel, but I am extremely impressed with your perspectives on all of your videos. There are a few things about this one that I wanted to say: 1) thank you for the respect you showed by listening to the song in its entirety before commenting, 2) at 8:21, Lady Gaga gets drowned out by the roar of the crowd when the troops in Afghanistan are shown, as she does the unique and AMAZING thing with the line of the song "that our flag was still there," continuing at D5 and going UP. That line was originally written for the singer to go DOWN, not UP. Only a handful of singers can even ATTEMPT, much less succeed, in doing that! Gaga NAILED it, but you have to go back and listen to her do it, and then listen to other talented singers who went down, like Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Aretha Franklin, and even Kelly Clarkson. Finally, 3) everyone on here speaks about Whitney Houston's 1991's Super Bowl version. They have their opinions, but Whitney's has been the best for the past 30 years, and it was sung the way it was written: with heart, pride, and pure joy. I hope that people on here don't try to compare those two incredible performances. It's like trying to decide which is better... a sunset at the beach or a sunset over the mountains. Both are beautiful, and can be appreciated and loved without disrespecting the other. Lady Gaga gave us an AMAZING performance of a very difficult song to sing, both with skill and patriotism! Signed, A New Follower
So awesome Mother Monster 💖 her voice is improving with maturity and clearly she works on technique. There's. 2 new videos showing improved contrasting jazz style too - search for Lady Gaga Andrew Kimmel - that's the channel.
She’s the queen. She suffers fibromyalgia like me and I swear, Lady Rebecca, I don’t know where she finds the strength and sheer will to do what she does. Amazing!!
I love our national anthem! Thank you for this. When it's sung well like this or like Whitney Houston did it way back it makes me so proud and brings tears to my eyes. If you haven't heard Whitneys version take the time to watch it. I absolutely LOVE Gaga but Whitney is my all time favorite rendition. Much love and happiness from across the pond! 😊
I'm an American, so it's not like I haven't heard this song performed a zillion times. I must say this is one of the top performances of this, I've heard. I'm not even a fan of Gaga, but the ... Lady killed it. EDIT: After reading many comments here, I must say I've never heard either Mariah's or Whitney's performances. Hopefully RVA will feature them in the future.
Gaga always delivers, and always owns the song she does, putting her soul into her performance, really awesome that you covered this Looking forward to seeing what you do next, Hoping for the love of Gaga that it might be Avi Kaplan's new video, Change on the rise :)
Probably one of the most emotional anthems ever sung, Lady Gaga delivered the perfect rendition and had everyone in her grip from start to finish. Rebecca you look absalutley stunning btw.
Yes I agree. I have more to watch. How's the filmmaking going?
@@rva I have been pinned omg, thank you Rebecca, posted a new one recently. Thank you again you are awesome.
1:57 you almost dropped a tear 😭me tooooooo
Seems a bit over the top in my opinion. This has nothing on the welsh or South African national anthem
@@rippedup1931 I think I meant Lady Gagas rendition but now curious.
And now she's a 9 time grammy and academy award winner. Lol
Anne Francis Hemilga 11 time Grammy 😍
11*
Y sumando ...
Let's throw in a BAFTA 'Best Film Music' too.
Anne Francis Hemilga now 11 time Grammy winner
I believe one of Gaga’s greatest talents, vocally, is that she ALWAYS hits her notes
So... singing is her greatest talent. lol.
Lady gaga's note on 2020 : I'll bring it down, bring it down down
No, she doesn't. But...that's fine, because nobody does.
Eh. I'm a die hard gaga fan, know all her music top to bottom, and no she doesn't. She is fantastic, but she is human, and she also misses notes.
Wow people online really don’t understand hyperbole

I think one of my favorite things about this performance, when I watched this live, is that she did this so tastefully. A lot of other performers often try to go too bombastic and get too show-off-y (and ends up going on too long for what this song is supposed to be). She honestly did this so well.

Mine too! Gagaaa❤️
Whitney. Houston. Period.
Best anthem
1. Russian national anthem/ Soviet national anthem
2. The US national anthem
So agree! Also because it was unexpected by many who thought she couldn't sing. HA! That woman has the pipes AND the knowledge to use them. She KNEW it went out of the field and shocked alot of people. Absolute beautiful😍🇺🇸

If there is a singer that deserves their fame it's her. This performance validated all them grammys.
Many new Gaga listeners now know the power & beauty of her voice! 😊
And now, she's an 11-time Grammy winner and an Academy Award winner.
I'm not a Gaga fan, but when I leave this world (U.S. Army Veteran) please play this at my grave.
Our greatest strength as a species, is being able to see beauty regardless of origin.
Thank you for your service sir! Gaga sings with devotion and poured her heart ❤️ into this. This is why we love Gaga and America
I've heard the National Anthem sung by a lot of people and this is my favorite. And you are right a lot of singers overdo it. This was just right.

I’m a filipino and I must say this is my favorite song now cause lady gaga gave me a goose bumps on this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fergie could learn a thing or two from Lady Gaga.
I don't think Fergie EVER wants to sing that song ... AGAIN.
everybody can learn from her haha
y'all are so shady, I can't sksksks
People are so stuck on Fergie..
CRH don’t be negative
This and Whitneys are my favourite ever renditions. Goosepimples throughout. Very touching.
Her voice is so beautiful.
Easily within the 3 best versions.
1. Whitney Houston
2. Lady Gaga
3. LeAnn Rhymes
Faith Hill one was amazing as well
Whitney was pre-recorded

Faultless performance!
Gaga is a woman of many talents, until this performance I did not realise what a complete diva she is. A true Superstar.
I honestly think that was the best diction rendition of the national anthem I have ever hurt I don't think I've understood the words of the American national anthem better than that rendition. I'm really amazed.

You can feel how much she loves our country. I was overwhelmed by emotions. Incredibly one of the best rendition of the National Anthem. Gaga proved herself to the world.
Then you should listen to Lea Salonga as she sing the National Anthem if you want to hear good rendition.
One of the best Gaga performances EVER! Trust me as a Little Monster she slayed the shit out of this

I love this performance, she hit just the right balance between respecting the gravitas of the song and adding personal artistic expression.
She’s amazing! Flawless vocalist

Oh my goodness, I always knew Lady Gaga had a great voice, but after hearing this, it left me stunned how marvelous it really is!
A very tough song to sing. She started singing in a lower register to probably ensure she will meet that high note. Flawless.
I realley started to love and respect her after that performance
Home of the free because of the brave. God bless America!
@eddiewinehosen That was a capital G and not a theogony.
Absolutely beautiful and perfect! I’m not a Gaga fan but that was amazing! Rebecca, you’re inspirational as always. Great reaction and video! Thank you again.
Yep. When that voice first pops out, you go, "Good Grief, what a voice!"
Wow Rebecca
Gaga completely killed it 🤙 I live in Denver the Broncos went on to do the same great start to a great game thank you I was too geeked to have paid attention live
Kindest regards
I like the fact that she stays within her vocal range and doesnt strain for high register.
I think Gaga is the most talented of America's so-called "divas".
Best ever LIVE rendition of the national anthem - Lady Gaga.

I love your videos by the way 😘
You have a beautiful voice! Lady Gaga is in a class all by herself.
Mariah also did one of the best versions of the national anthem! Love your reaction as always ❤️
Yessss
For me the best are Whitney Mariah and Gaga
Wow incredible ! Such incredible strength and so powerful ! She’s outstanding ! I’d like to hear Barbara Streisand too !
Gaga went straight Broadway vocal on this one.
Thank you Stefani. That was perfect.
(Yes, that’s Lady Gaga’s actual name)
1:36 When Gaga sings “AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE” you can see a tear coming out of her right eye
Most beautiful Anthem I've ever heard. He's one of those girls that the words off key is not in your dictionary
Absolutely
She is a BADDASS
I love our national anthem! Thank you for this. When it's sung well like this or like Whitney Houston did it way back it makes me so proud and brings tears to my eyes. If you haven't heard Whitneys version take the time to watch it. I absolutely LOVE Gaga but Whitney is my all time favorite rendition. Much love and happiness from across the pond! 😊
I think this National anthem will be my fave til I die
when gaga said “god bless you america” something inside me finally felt alive
I'm an American, so it's not like I haven't heard this song performed a zillion times. I must say this is one of the top performances of this, I've heard. I'm not even a fan of Gaga, but the ... Lady killed it.
EDIT: After reading many comments here, I must say I've never heard either Mariah's or Whitney's performances. Hopefully RVA will feature them in the future.
u should do her sound of music or imagine performance
Ugh I cry watching those...gaga is amazing there’s nothing she doesn’t do 100
Gaga always delivers, and always owns the song she does, putting her soul into her performance, really awesome that you covered this
Looking forward to seeing what you do next, Hoping for the love of Gaga that it might be Avi Kaplan's new video, Change on the rise :)
