Whitney came dressed in a windbreaker like she was running errands and had “Sing National Anthem” on her To Do List.
-Pick up kids
-Have the oil changed in the minivan
-drop Bobbi off at Grandmama’s house
-sing the National Anthem at Super Bowl
-buy butter, eggs, ground beef, tuna
-pick up dry cleaning
This comment is tremendous 🤣
@@hakimzane She sang so effortlessly, as if it was just one of many errands she had to run that day.
Exactly!!!! Lol
I love this comment!🤣🤣🤣
Lol to me she just woke up and remembered what she had to do, put on her outfit, sang and bounced.
As an American, I can attest to you that this is the greatest rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that I've ever heard
@@NuckinFuts2215 sounded all heart to me 🤷🏽♀️. Guess that’s why we call it subjective.
@@andirandolph8830 He was only paying attention to the color of her skin to notice.
@@NuckinFuts2215 Your comment proves that you are your name (with the "F" and "N" reversed).
@@sallybender7900 You perfectly summarized this he, they, she.
@@NuckinFuts2215 worst take of all time. You truly are nuckin futs. This is the best of all time and it's not even close
For us Americans, hearing Whitney Houston singing the National Anthem the way she did was the most amazing day of our lives.
For Whitney Houston... it was Tuesday.
It was Sunday, but I get your point 😉
100% #FACTS!
Good day Mr Bison
Whitney Houston’s rendition IS the American National Anthem. Nobody has or will ever match her beautiful performance.
She is the perfect version ❤ fight me if you disagree
Chris Stapletons version could compete with that
No BODY
@@Samoskiyaani lmao lay off the meth his was so corny nowhere near as powerful as Whitney's
@@Samoskiyaanicap
I was in the Army and deployed to Saudi Arabia for the Gulf War. There was around 30 of us up in the wee hours of the morning to watch the Super Bowl. We all stood at attention and rendered a salute during the song. There wasn't a dry eye in the tent by the end of it.
Thank you for your service.
🫡💯🫡
Thanks for sharing this story and thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
It’s Whitney’s rendition of the national anthem that plays over the speakers at the DC Smithsonian national museum in the room where they keep the original flag from this song. That’s how iconic her version is
Omg !!!!!
That's amazing !!!
I didnt know that....😊
Every time I hear the national anthem , it makes me cry....
B
I didn’t know this!
Wow 😯 I never new that , that’s what’s up 👏🏾👏🏾
Damn thts 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for the knowledge.
I did not know that
Arguably the best rendition of this song of all time.
Not arguably. It just is!!
@@aaronlewis2501 agreed!
@@aaronlewis2501 It is arguable, I’ve heard some pretty amazing renditions. Hers is top notch and can compete with any but it’s impossible to say who’s is best.
Absolutely the best!
@@1BobsYourUncle no it’s very possible to say who’s the best, this is it lol
I'm an American and in my 62 years of life I've NEVER heard anything better than Whitney's rendition. I may have thought I did until January 1991, then I knew that I hadn't and would never hear anything better. It brings tears to my eyes and gives me goosebumps at the same time. I don't know why I get so emotional every time I hear it, but I do. RIP Whitney and thank you for sharing your talents with the world. You are missed. God Bless America!!!
My father is just a little bit older than you and he said the same thing..🫡🫡🫡
she looks like she isn't even trying and its effortless and she looks like she is just having fun singing her national anthem...phenomenal voice...
"she looks like she's isn't even trying and it's effortless"
LOL, because she's mouthing the lyrics. It's not a live performance.
@@Limp_1 And yet....it's her voice. Or have you never heard Whitney Houston sing before?
@@barbieg33 You missed the point completely. She lip synced to a recording of her own voice that’s what she was saying genius.
@@Limp_1 there is always someone stating that she was lip singing so I am glad I've found another video where she sings it live. She sings it slightly differently (maybe due to the rumors that she didn't sing it live despite the live orchestra behind her) but she hits all of the same notes. ruclips.net/video/IdcKLuRjIX0/видео.html

Not a dry eye in the entire country that day. We had just gone to war. No one ever will sing it like she did. Thank you for this gift Whitney. Rest in eternal peace.
Amen
I love Whitney but this is the only performance of hers that makes me cry every time I hear it. Her voice singing the anthem just hits different… can’t explain it.
You are not lying..💯💯💯
No American who ever saw it, either in the stadium or live on TV, will ever forget it. No one ever did it better and no one ever will.
i love that little smile she has about halfway through , she knows that she has nailed it . Love the confidence . This is easy for her
Especially because the song was prerecorded and her mic was off.
@@04m6gto still her voice, no one else
It's like dream job and you are in the interview and that 1 question comes up and you know you are getting ready to drive this interview straight home. She definitely knew the assignment.
@04m6gto shes singing they just used a track over it on the broadcast. Plus she did a live version of this for the welcome home soldiers concert and sounded the same even better because she added adlibs
Whitney was a once in a lifetime talent. Nobody before or after her can match her Super Bowl national anthem performance. So many have tried to replicate her song arrangement, but there's only one Whitney.
The brightest stars burn the quickest. It's shameful that she's gone
Whitney was full aware of how important this was. SHE NAILED IT! no one can tell me she didnt feel the Patriotism singing this. I got out of the submarine Force in July of '91. The support from our Nation was unreal! But, i felt guilty, cause our Veitnam Vets deserved it , they, in fact, even after how they where treated , where the first to welcome us home. In my eyes GOD dont make them any better!
Absolutely correct. Houston’s voice is incomparable.
GOATIEST GOAT OF ALL SMELLY GOATS...less debate about Whitney than any sports GOAT
Her rendition makes my chest swell with pride and I am not even American.
The Star Spangled Banner is a very tough arrangement to sing. It may seem deceptively simple but as we've seen not everyone can do it. Whitney did a beautiful job with that.
You're correct. It requires an operatic vocal range to perform. Only the very best singers have the chops to sing it with the required power and ease to do it justice. There's a reason this woman was known simply as "The Voice".
Remember when Roseanne did her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner? She pretty much SCREAMED it very distastefully and what happened afterwards was in a word DISGUSTING!
I always say this about the song it seems simple but it’s definitely not
It's not a hard song to sing.
@@thatgirlkells5505 It's not, but it's hard to sing it well.
Americans agree, best Star Spangled Banner arrangement ever sung! Effortless, elegant, and ferocious!
I remember that performance like it was yesterday…just after the beginning of the Gulf War…I was at my buddy’s house…we were all stunned…One of the last of those TV moments that everyone saw like Fonzie jumping the shark and MJ doing Billie Jean and doing the moon walk the first time with the white glove…
I’m American and this just brings me to tears every time. Beyond choked up
Man I miss her voice. Legendary. RIP Whitney 🌹
Many people don't know this about Whitney Houston's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It was Whitney Houston herself insisted that the orchestra change the notes of the song. She wanted a gospel feel to the song, which means the song had to be slowed down. The allows her to sing and elongated the words. So. You not only hear every word clearly but you feel it, every word she sings. She got some push back from the orchestra because know one has ever asked that it be done this way. They were not sure off how this would work. However, Whitney pushed hard for this song to be structured this way. People accused her of lip singing. You will never find a gospel singer lip singing. They don't have to they have sang in the church choir for many years. They have proper training. Whitney Houston could stand there flat footed, barefoot and sing.
If you ever listen to anyone else sing the Star Spangled Banner, you will notice the song, the musical notes is much faster. You don't hear each and every word annunciated. It's to fast. I bet you this is the first time you understood and heard each and every word of the Star Spangled Banner.
There is a video of music producer Narda Michael Warren who worked with Whitney Houston on that rendition of the song explains just how Whitney Houston wanted the to sound and her push on the orchestra to for the first time in history change the structure of the song. Whitney Houston knew what she was doing.
This is incredible information. Thank you for the education. ❤
No Singer Today Will Ever be this Good or Even in the Future, its Been Done ! Whitney Did IT !
She was the definition of effortless power and control
There are only 3 people that should sing the anthem. Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston and Whitney Houston
Still gives me goosebumps when I hear her sing that song.
My goosebumps have goosebumps…a grateful nation bow’s it’s head…and still honored to have lived to hear our nation’s anthem done so well…
There isn't a discussion anymore as to who sang the anthem the best. The vast majority of Americans will tell you that this will nevwr be topped. RIP to our beautiful Diva. Not comparable.
Best rendition ever. Whitney is timeless.
As a American this brings me to tears! I miss Whitney and I miss the US of that time 😪.
You are not alone
This is literally just a good normal time she's having. Doesn't look stressed at all, smiling the whole time.
@@AJ-lq3jz your point being????
@@AJ-lq3jz Technically it was sung live but into a dead mic. All her expressions were her effort while singing.
Whitney is the best voice ever. She's soooo missed.
My brother was in Iraq when this took place. When he came home after 9 months, I threw a huge welcome home party & played this on big screen & sound blasting. It was emotional, but in a good way being that he came home safely....to his new baby boy. 🥰
Praise God,and so thankful for his service!
@@maryannturton9830 yes! And yes! He wound up an Army Ranger, officer, 3 tours of war, and a recruiter for Army National Guard. So thankful he lived through all of it. 🥰
My brother was there with the Army at that time and Whitney Houston's singing of the national anthem seemed to encourage and galvanize the country. Luckily, he came home alive, but like many veterans of that war, they were exposed to horrible environmental poisons and his health has steadily gone downhill ever since.
@chnalvr my brother is Army Ranger. So it was so special 🥰
The greatest rendition of this song. Ever.
This IS the one and only, no one has produced anything better
Heard some damn good renditions of this profound song, and some came close to Whitney, but her version is still IMHO THE best version. She + The Blue Angels, that is. From her effortlessness, vocal control, pitch, power, elegance, volume adjustment, combined with the orchestral timing, then the crescendo of the flyover? Chills and tears for the Beauty and Art on display here. P.S. - Thanks for reacting to this, Blokes. America ain't perfect, but my patriotism does include enjoying a good parade and celebration of the good in the U.S. R.I.P. - Whitney
😊
A testament to how good she was is that The Star Bangled Banner" is not a particularly easy song to sing & she made it sound like it was the easiest thing in the world to sing.
It just kills me that there were state flags with the confederate flag on them that were being displayed while that beautiful woman was singing the anthem with that perfect voice. 😔
Idiot, they were displaying all the 50 states flags. Alabama was a confederate state but changed its style. Why can't you just watch the video and enjoy it for what it is? Why do you and everyone has to make a modern day political comment on these kind of videos? SMH.
I just noticed that 🤦🏾♀️
This was the best I have ever heard this song sung as an American. I can tell you there is no one better than her. I always cry when I hear Whitney sing this anthem.
Coming back from Desert Storm on the plane they put it on the screen when she sang this at the super bowl...we were in tears...we were all patriots...remember my special moment hearing her singing this...GOD BLESS AMERICA....
I'm tearing while I'm putting this up...
@@russellyoung1262 I'm tearing up reading this
What a loss, I miss hearing her sing. I still remember the first time I heard her… chills!
I attended middle school between 1995-1998 and every morning, they would play this Whitney Houston performance at the start of each school day and I never got tired of it. I especially liked how they changed the time signature of the song from 3/4 to 4/4. The sheer control and power of her voice is almost indescribable, too.
Facts 👏👏👏
they played this when i was in elementary every morning too i was in elementary from 2008-2014
Time change, not everybody catches that….and yes her power is unmatched, in my opinion. She’s clearly not struggling at all. 👀❤️
I'm certain that Whitney Houston could have been one of the greatest opera divas of all time had she chosen that path. The combination of her rich, bell-like tone, wide vocal range, perfect pitch and jaw-dropping power seems like an opera singer's dream skill set.
Nobody has or ever will top this performance. Nobody 🔥👍🏼
I dunno man, Ozzie Osbourne’s rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” at Wrigley came pretty close 😂
@@coyotelong4349 to sounding like a cat giving birth
To this day, hearing her sing the anthem chokes the hell out of me, tears and all
This is the only one….
She’s the only one that can move me with this song.
You say effortless and that exactly it. Smiling, pointing, casually channeling that song. 🙌🏼
doesnt matter how many times i hear this, as an american…instant goosebumps
Nobody will ever be able to touch this performance.
Thirty years later and I still get goose bumps. She was that good.
One of the greatest vocal performances of all time.
I remember watching it at the bar, absolutely rapt and skin tingling. At the end, everyone in the bar was standing and cheering. The moment and the performance came together in a transcendental way.
No one ever heard it so beautiful before. Extremely hard song to sing and hit all the notes. She stunned the whole nation that day. Ever since it's been legendary.
Hopefully someone in Washington would make this version the official version for our country. I would vote for that
I watched this game...and when I heard Whitney Houston sing the Star Spangled Banner, she had me in tears. This hands down is the absolute best rendition of our national anthem. We love and miss you Whitney. ❤️
Whitney was called "The Voice" with good reason. Thanks for sharing your reaction on this one with us! Always love hearing her do her thing. I completely agree with Daz about Mariah too!
When my older brother was like 3 and my mom was driving them around he would request her music by asking for “big voice” lol that’s what he called her but she does have a big voice in the best way
Have watched this so many times, she is just stunning in every way. Have seen things this might have been prerecorded and lip-synched... even if it was, she still did it in the studio - no ProTools or autotune.. doesn't matter. Still stunning.
I cannot believe mike has detransitioned lol
Btw those flags the soldiers were holding in long row were the flags of each individual state.
American here- no matter how many times I hear this rendition.. it brings tears to my eyes..
This moment is one of our national treasures. ❤️🇺🇸💙
No other rendition is better nor will be better than Whitney. I never get tired of hearing that power and grace.
This wasn't just an amazing performance this was historical Whitney Houston's performance of The National Anthem became a hit single it peaked at #6 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[3] and was certified 3x platinum by the RIAA. This made Houston the first musical act to take the national anthem Top 10 in the US, and have it certified platinum3x it sold 1 million copies, and she was only 27 years old It's just amazing she was amazing and was and still is to me The greatest female singer of all time.
I remember it was the Super Bowl and they introduced Whitney Houston who was AMAZING Singer to sing the National Athem - We are so proud of Whitney that did an outstanding performance for America. We are fortunate and I believe God must have been thrilled too.
NO ONE HAS EVER DONE IT BETTER
Lol nobody
The greatest rendition ever. No one else is close. It's the breath control. Most people cannot hold crisp, long, clear, loud notes!
What makes America great is our diversity. I couldn’t possibly imagine living in a country where everyone is the same! ☮️❤️
yet we are going backwards how we treat each other .
@@sixslinger9951 yes so true. I wish there was more love for all ethnicities in the USA since they are so diverse and really are unique then they would really be great again. Really wish America the best for all their people
Whitney sang like she waa the one who led the win of the war. My gosh as always. The standard!!!! Not just the voice but the delivery!!!
Yeah, Mike, your back. We missed you.
This is a old video
*you’re is you are. Your is the 2nd person possessive pronoun
@@fezzik7619 why do this,just why?😑🤦
Has he hurt his back?
@@fezzik7619 You know exactly what he meant there’s no need for all of that man
This version gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. And to this day, every time a person sings the anthem, I go back to this version. It’s just so incredibly beautiful and patriotic.
I'm proud to be an American. I agree with Mike, it gave me goosebumps.
I'm an American and I love that I was born here and everything, but it's nothing to be proud of .I just accomplished coming out of my mom in this location. I mean being proud to be an American is like taking pride in a participation trophy. Again I also love being an American and I could not imagine living anywhere else besides maybe Japan, and that's a hard just maybe like if I couldn't live in America I'm settling on Japan, because as a general statement I just seemed to gel with most people there.
@@alexgregg1058 well thts juss silly Alex, a lot of ppl from all countries say they proud to be blank. Y can't they be proud to be from Amercan? Juss like me saying "im pride to be black" even though I was juss born black,u feel me?
@@bigbk3278 No I don't feel you here because, it's nothing to be proud of. I'm not proud I'm a Native American that just happens to be what I am. Taking pride in something you didn't accomplish or is accomplished for you is ridiculous. It seems like a nice comforting thing but it leads to things like a nationalism or xenophobia or racism, because it's just another way to other people who aren't you. I love that I'm Native American and that we have a rich history and culture I guess.. I love that I'm an American and live here too, but taking pride in it is not logical at all. My parents had the sex ,my mother carried the pregnancy to term, and the doctors delivered me. What do I have to be proud of? It was all done by other people not me so taking pride in it is undeserved hubris. If I was a refugee that escaped a war torn zone on foot and got asylum in America and then took the classes and became a citizen on top of that then I would be proud to be an American, because it took tons effort to achieve it.
@@alexgregg1058 welp 🤷♂️guess every on earth thinks diff, wouldn't had guessed
Agreed very proud to be an American
One Moment in Time is in my top 3 Whitney songs. Her concert on a naval ship (I think. Someone will correct me :) ) is the best live singing I’ve ever heard
The BEST RENDITION of this song e v e r! So sad she is gone, who knows what she could have done in future.
Our #1 rendition EVER!! I miss her beautiful smile and voice ❤️
Seen it many times and many reactions to it and still brings a tear to my eye, especially now in these crazy times and how sometimes we take freedom for granted. Amazing effortless performance.
Greatest rendition of the Star Spangled Banner ever! It's Whitney's incredibly powerful voice that makes it. (My second favorite is Lady Gaga)
Whitney's version is fantastic but it was pre-recorded. So I put Lillian Garcia as one of the best live versions ever. Her accapella version 2 days after 911 never gets old. That was the first mass gathering after the 911 attacks. She has always sang it with respect & honor for the WWE
@@BBBYpsi Whitney is still singing even the mic was off
@@BBBYpsi So you're saying that Whitney was lip-syncing while the music was going out over the speakers? If so, it was the most flawless lip-syncing ever.
@@swingriah6537 what is your point? Everyone sings to recorded stuff. I do & I suck as a singer. The whole point is it was not a live version. She did sing at some sort of military gathering live and it was great. But somehow people miss the whole point.
Lady Gagas was better
I m not American,but that make me cry, beautiful voice, RIP miss Houston.
That gave me chills ❤️ she's the best ever!! I've just watched all the others and they can't compare
When I was in the military in 2000 they would play the specific rendition before every movie shown at the base theater. Its the best rendition ever sung in my opinion. Love from downey ca.
Don’t knock your country, guys. This American loves Great Britain.
We always debate who sang it best but for me it's all about Whitney. An anthem should relay pride and power and her voice carries the song to perfection. Many argue that Mariah's version is top tier but I found it more of a whimper sans goosebumps.
unfortunately there is no debate. Every year all the articles are about her version, no other versions as revered and it is over 30 years old. bUT FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS SHE HAS SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT ONLY HER VERSION. eVEN eSPN MADE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE PROCESS
@@odumosuolusegun2781 word!!!
Whitney Houston has the best rendition of the star spangled banner in the history of America. She will forever be missed 🌹
This was during a time when many artists were putting their own spin on The National Anthem. This was a breath of fresh air, as well as one of the best performances of the song, ever.
Best singer imo. Maybe not the greatest (or maybe she is) but she's definitely the best!
My family and I were stationed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia just after Desert Storm concluded, there was still smoke in the air in Riyadh coming from the burning oil fields in Kuwait, the one thing we wanted to make sure we took with us was this video of Ms. Whitney Houston singing the National Anthem.
Marvin Gaye's rendition is amazing!
Oh thanks. I will search for it!
Yeah, at the NBA All Star game.
Yes it is. That's what's great, we are many Americans.
We’ve missed you Mike! Welcome back! Enjoyed the video guys.
He's not back, this is an old video upload. I think it was on Patreon. They mentioned the 4th of July.
I remember watching this Live in 1991 as a kid, and for a good reason this became the best rendition ever so many singers have always tried to copy Whitney Houston and they will always fail
word !!!
Man, I had to watch this like TEN TIMES in a row. I just LOVE this version of our anthem soooooo much. Thanks for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back, Sir Mike. Love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!
She knocks them out of park - you said it right Sir
Hard song to sing, so to even perform it at such a level of musicality and skill is impressive. It’s why this rendition is one of the greatest performances of the song.
The GOAT.
As an American, that has to bring a tear to your eye, it did mine
I loved how Whitney made this song her's , she owned it like it should be Thank you Whitney, and God Bless America.
As others have said, arguably the greatest rendition ever.
I can’t help but cry when I listen to this.
Me too 😢I can’t even listen to her without crying she was bless by God
She makes it seem effortless! She was amazing!
Whitney Houston & Chris Stapleton have the two greatest renditions I've ever heard.
They played this recording as the national anthem at every high school sports game i played in or attended for the entire 90s. There was also talk of this Super Bowl being postponed or canceled, just for a bit of context...this super bowl is also maybe the best super bowl ever
Choked a wee bit with forever American pride ! Godbless Whitney Houston!
Whitney Houston - BEST Version Ever!!! ♪♪
Hearing this version makes me proud to me American.
chills. RIP Whitney. My mom LOVED her back in the day
