It was the performance of our national anthem that all artists since have unsuccessfully imitated or tried to live up to, and she did it in a nylon tracksuit and a headband. Watch Whitney Houston sing "The Star Spangled Banner" in January 1991 at Superbowl XXV and remember the moment with wonder. This is the be all and end all.
I am a little embarrassed to say that I get a tear every time I hear the Star Spangled Banner. Sometimes the singing is so awful, I tear up laughing. Sometimes its so moving, I feel each and every note and emotion attached to it. Mostly though its because the song is just so freaking beautiful!
It is my understanding that ALL performers of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl record the performance just before the event itself and lip sync it at the actual event to avoid technical issues during the most watched program of the year. Basically they are lip syncing to a live performance. So, no harm, no foul...still pretty damn amazing that someone can hit those notes.
y'all know that it was lipsynched (VH1 showed evidence). i'm serious, but it was in her best intentions because she was so scared to screw it up. I believe that she could've still done it that well.
she has a beautiful voice. i have a problem with her changing the time signature though; i sat here and watched it, waiting for it to pick up, but it never did.
