Though there have been many great renditions of the Star Spangled Banner, including Lady Gaga’s, Renee Fleming’s, and Jennifer Hudson's, this is considered by many Americans as the greatest rendition of the Star Spangled Banner
My Dad was deployed during this time. My mom bought the cassette of this performance and we listened to it so many times. It brought me to tears then and it still does to this day ❤️
This is widely considered the greatest rendition of the US national anthem ever. Credit should also go to John Clayton for his amazing musical arrangement on this version.
As a 70 yr old women. Whitney is my all time favorite artist. She is perfection. To watch your analysis and appreciation of MY National anthem done by the LATE GREAT Whitney Houston brought tears to my eyes. I can see in your face the same feeling i get whenever i hear the incomparable Ms Houston. Thank you for this.
This is simply the greatest version ever of TSSB. When Houston arrived in Miami to record it, her musical director, Rickey Minor, excitedly asked her if she had listened to the changed arrangement. She hadn't because Houston was busy rehearsing in L.A. for "The Bodyguard." Houston told Minor, "don't worry baby, just put it on." She listened with her eyes closed, and at the conclusion, she said "I got it." Keep in mind this was just a week before the Super Bowl, and given the war had just started, the broadcast was expected to have the biggest word-wide audience ever. The version here known to all the world is 90% from that very first attempt. She was a vocal genius. I don't intend any disrespect to today's artists, but Houston towers above them all. She is one of the greatest voices of all time irrespective of musical genre.
Ms Houston is using her voice to recreate the feeling of the historical event she is singing about in the national anthem. For example when she sings "the bombs bursting in air" her voice explodes like bombs bursting in the air.
I'm a former US Army soldier. When I saw this song as an 8 year old it gave me goosebumps. Today it makes me want to be an American, twice. Thank you Beth😃
This is the best version. My violin teacher was actually one of the performers in the orchestra behind her. Fun fact- none of it was live. Although they were all playing and she was singing, it was all prerecorded ! Love how no one knows. Still the best national anthem by far
Oh but she pre sung it though ,her own voice.. And guess what none of Whitney's recordings did her justice. Check out her live versions of her songs. This woman had a God given anointed , powerful, beautiful voice. Whitney never needed studio.
In addition to the performance itself, the decision-making as a performer is just incredible. Where to be straight-forward, where to add little flourishes, she always does just the right amount. She adds just enough flair to make it a one-of-a-kind performance while staying true to the spirit of the song. She meets the moment of an internationally televised sporting event spectacle and exceeds the pressure to create something truly magical.
I am an American Veteran of this time period. This is singularly the greatest rendition of the our National Anthem IMHO. Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA was played at my Boot camp graduation. Would love to see your reaction.
Whitney's voice paired with this arrangement will never be surpassed. 30 years later, people are still watching. This performance set the bar impossibly high for everyone who came after her. 🇺🇸
With its range and extremes of highs and lows, the *_'Star Spangled Banner'_* is considered by many musicians and vocalists (regardless of their genre) to be arguably the absolute hardest and most challenging songs in the world. Whitney... what a sad & tragic loss. RIP *_R_*
I watched this performance 'live' - Whitney sang this from the very depth of her soul. Her singing ability has yet to be matched or surpassed - she's unique. Thank you for playing our National Anthem. ❤️ 🇺🇸 ❤️ Much appreciated!
This is my all time favorite rendition of our national anthem. I share it every July 4th. Whitney Houston was one of a kind. Thank you for sharing your insights on her vocal performance.
I remember this like it was yesterday. It was extremely emotional for most Americans because we were in the middle of the first Gulf War and it had been since Vietnam that we had so many troops deployed for a war. The air campaign had started but the ground war was still about 3 weeks away. I know there wasn't a dry eye in our house when she finished singing.
There will NEVER be a better rendition of this song. The best part is it seems like she was having a good time and it's just so effortless. Such a shame she's gone, but we will always have her music.
You explain this rendition, in away that a untrained person never noticed. I just know that it always send chills through me. And I feel so patriotic and proud to be a born, bread and butter American🙏🏾
Miss her voice. She was an American treasure… was I the only non American who stood up at attention after 5 seconds… with my right hand over my heart…. Truly miss her passion.
I can sum it up this way: it's the perfect combination of an incredible female artist, an awesome musical arrangement and brilliant camera work - that's it in a nutshell!
I think y I love Whitney's rendition the most is because she killed it without using too many riffs and runs. The purity of her vocals just shone clearly through out. Many people tend to sing it with too many riffs and runs. It takes away from the impact of the song's meaning.
As an American, I don’t take offense. She’s just amazing and should be celebrated. No one will ever sing the anthem better than her. I miss her so much.🇺🇸💗
Elusive. Illusive. Gorgeous rendition, through and through. I can't help but swell in the eyes when I come back to listen to this musical direction of our national anthem.
This will always be my personal favorite of our National Anthem...but I have an emotional attachment just as many veterans from this time period do. I was in the Desert at the time and we listened to this and part of the game on the radio; didn't see the actual video broadcast until I returned to the U.S. in March '91. Here we are, 30 years later, still breathtaking. Rest In Peace Whitney, and thank you.
Every time I hear our National Anthem I get goosebumps & have since I was a kid but Whitney took it to a whole different level! The BEST rendition ever!! Rest in peace Whitney
This, to me, is the greatest rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Partly because of when it occurred but mostly because it's so great, so great. I love my country but admittedly dont always like it and im not the most patriotic person. But this song gets me every time. I always tear up with pride. Ive always heard it's one of the tougher songs to sing technically but also because all Americans know it so every slip up and super noticeable.
I am American and I still remember watching it live in my livingroom (that's right, she sang it in my livingroom lol)! My jaw hit the floor with about a hundred million other people that day! Omg!!
I LOVED your interpretation! As a Whitney fan, your description allowed more insight & reasoning as to why her voice & performance are gold. Thank you 🍀
This…I was just barely old enough to be terrified that we were “at war”. This performance embodied everything that at the time “we” believed in. The way this brought all of us together, the understated look and the effortless way she reassured a 9 year old child….Iconic, simply iconic. RIP
In my opinion, this is definitely the best version of the Star Spangled Banner I've ever heard/seen due to Whitney's phenomenal vocal performance, the amazing musical arrangement and the vibe in the stadium because it was just after the start of the first Gulf war. Despite seeing this performance several times, I'm always an emotional wreck by the end.
As soon as I wake up I get a cup of coffee and then... Beth's notification.... How is possible not to have a good day after this!!!! ¡PURA VIDA! From the other side of the planet.
Beth explains clearly why this version is the best. Why we are astounded by Whitney's techniques and styling. No one, no one, sang this better than Whitney Houston. Thank you Beth; thank you Whitney.
That was a spectacular live version. What a voice. It gives me chills every time. I would say that it is the best and most powerful version of The Star Spangled Banner ever performed. And she also changed the rhythm from the original one based on a 3 count, to a 4/4 rhythm. Utterly astounding.
Apart from Whitney’s singing, which was truly outstanding, what also made this version unique and special was changing the song from 3/4 time to 4/4 (2/2?), which imho suits the anthem much better.
This is my favorite rendition of our National Anthem in America! 🇺🇸 Whitney!!! I cry every time 😩 She’s in my top three female vocalists - Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, & Stevie Nicks! 💗💗 Thank you for your expertise!
Best version ever. Hands down. This version got onto Billboard after this performance and after 9/11. She almost wasn't allowed to play this arrangement because it's slightly different than the original. There is no tension in that neck and voice. It makes me proud to be an American. We would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. God bless America! 🇺🇸❤
To this day, I don’t think anyone has performed Our National Anthem 🇺🇸 better. She was having fun doing it, and showcased her amazing talent. We lost her far too soon. ❤️
I think there is no need to have artists sing the Amrican National Anthem any more. Just play Whitney Houston’s rendition when needed! It is timeless, beautiful, and perfect. The bar was set in 1991, anything else simply WILL NOT DO. 😎
This was performed in Tampa which is the home of Central Command and shortly after Operation Desert Storm began. It was the first war broadcast live on TV and it was a very emotional time for America. This made the performance that much more special.
Absolutely NUTS! And you really spelled it out, @Beth Roars. Cheers from California. And Whitney nailed this, and The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Love you, Whitney.
You must remember that Whitney grew up on gospel music in the Black church She sang on the choir and go all the solos!!! LoL We come from a rich musical history. We hear some of stylings in church from toddlers so it doesn't sound "extra" like it might for those who are used to more... standard kind of singing lol
Another thing that makes this rendition great is the arrangement. It may not be as obvious to non-Americans, but there's a lot of reharmonization in the chords. And it's in a different meter.

Several celebrities have titles, and hers is called The Voice. This is why. There are plenty of good singers and plenty of great singers , and then there’s that damn Whitney…

Truly iconic and inimitable performance.

@@ChristopherPausz I have always loved his rendition. Totally cool!
AGREED
Her control defies belief. This performance is her ticket to immortality.
😢😢😢
No that would be Jesus Christ. Only ticket 🎟 that exists
Whitney's voice was pure perfection!
My Dad was deployed during this time. My mom bought the cassette of this performance and we listened to it so many times. It brought me to tears then and it still does to this day ❤️
Kudos to your Dad!!
thanks to your Pops for the service
Thanks to you father, we can still enjoy Whitney’s beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner…🍻
This actually hit the TOP TEN charts. Who else has EVER done it? With the freaking anthem? 😂
And top twenty twice. Ten years apart.
Twice. Goat 🐐
Jimi Hendrix maybe
Yes the would play it on the radio
I heard it at this Super Bowl and I’ve , never heard another version come anywhere close to this version!
Yes!
Best female singer of all time, period.
This is one of the best versions ever sang.
The DEFINITIVE version.
THE!
T H E !
The best
I came here with the intention of expressing the same sentiment as all previous replies.
Magnificent voice.. it’s no wonder why they called her The Voice.
Right
🎯👏👏👏
The absolute best version of this song you’ll ever hear.
Exactly. Nothing will ever come close to this perfection.
Yes
Agreed.
This is widely considered the greatest rendition of the US national anthem ever. Credit should also go to John Clayton for his amazing musical arrangement on this version.
There's a short documentary on his work. If you listen closely you will hear some great chords in the background.
As a 70 yr old women. Whitney is my all time favorite artist. She is perfection.

No problem Karen. Glad you enjoyed!
Brings me to tears, literally.
This was released as a single at the time, which is unusual. That’s how much her version was appreciated. And yes, I bought it .
I bought it too and to this day when I listen it still makes me cry. RIP #WhitneyHouston
Me too! So you know Dancing on a Smooth Ddge?

I did too.

SPOT ON CORRECT!! 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
HEAR HEAR
She’s amazing, if only Whitney as a person was valued as much as her voice by those around her.
She would be alive
Common tragedy of successful artists
Exactly!!!
Listen to Kevin Costner at her funeral. She was much loved be her colleagues
I thought she was very loved. Her ex, got her into drugs and the wrong crowd.
“People have varying levels of success singing this song.” 😂 Such a perfect way to phrase that.
Ms Houston is using her voice to recreate the feeling of the historical event she is singing about in the national anthem.
For example when she sings "the bombs bursting in air" her voice explodes like bombs bursting in the air.
King of Nothing that is the brilliance of WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!
exactly. 'through the perilous', she adds drama and the feeling of pushing through something. she just understood music.
I'm a former US Army soldier. When I saw this song as an 8 year old it gave me goosebumps. Today it makes me want to be an American, twice. Thank you Beth😃
This is the best version. My violin teacher was actually one of the performers in the orchestra behind her. Fun fact- none of it was live. Although they were all playing and she was singing, it was all prerecorded ! Love how no one knows. Still the best national anthem by far
Yes I knew this but with a song as difficult as this; kudos to them for pre recording.
Everyone knows. There are a lot of smart azzed know-it-all's around!
Oh but she pre sung it though ,her own voice.. And guess what none of Whitney's recordings did her justice. Check out her live versions of her songs. This woman had a God given anointed , powerful, beautiful voice. Whitney never needed studio.
I'm going to choose to not believe you
@@elisageorge1798 oh I completely agree. Still her voice. Amazing. But again just pointing it out
Whitney's voice gives me chills every time... I can't help myself... so beautiful...I have never heard anyone sound like her ever...
Whitney Houston was a gift from God. Just listen to her. It's an angel singing to you.
You took words right out of my mouth, I saw her live 3 times, perfection.
In addition to the performance itself, the decision-making as a performer is just incredible. Where to be straight-forward, where to add little flourishes, she always does just the right amount. She adds just enough flair to make it a one-of-a-kind performance while staying true to the spirit of the song. She meets the moment of an internationally televised sporting event spectacle and exceeds the pressure to create something truly magical.
I saw it live (on T.V.)! It was spectacular. R.I.P. Whitney.
I am an American Veteran of this time period. This is singularly the greatest rendition of the our National Anthem IMHO. Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA was played at my Boot camp graduation. Would love to see your reaction.
I wish Whitney loved herself as much as the world loved her.

I get emotional and I get the chills every time I watch the video of Whitney singing at the Super Bowl.
Widely regarded as the best live performance of the anthem
Pretty sure it was actually pre recorded, that’s what I’ve read.
@@jeanetteking434 It was but 99% of what we hear was her first take.
Easily the best version ever
They don't make em like this anymore. Effortless. Fking amazing and I'n not even a WH fan

I have seen this video of WH dozens of times and being an American, give me chills every time. Thanks for appreciating it Beth!
Nobody can sing The star Spangled Banner like Whitney could! We miss you Miss Whitney.
A quick shout out that symphony accompaniment too. That arrangement with the strings is celestial!
Pure excellence no one can touch Whitney how could they improve on perfection RIP Miss Whitney Houston "I will always love you "....
You explain this rendition, in away that a untrained person never noticed. I just know that it always send chills through me. And I feel so patriotic and proud to be a born, bread and butter American🙏🏾
Miss her voice. She was an American treasure… was I the only non American who stood up at attention after 5 seconds… with my right hand over my heart….

She was great. This wasn’t live, but recorded (the NFL required), it charted after this performance and sold many after
She sang for the troops the week before and kept that rendition….😫😫 OMG I know that was angelic live
Whitney Houston is the American dream singer always has been nobody has matched her yet. We appreciate your video.

Ms Houston had such the right amount of everything when she sang.
It still brings chills ❤️
I just saw a comment describing her voice as a manual gear shift. She can be a neutral and floor it to gear 5. Her range is second to none almost
Agree....BRILLIANT. Love the way you pic it apart as well. She was SPECIAL. Miss her sooo much. RIP
This is my favorite rendition of our National Anthem in America! 🇺🇸 Whitney!!!
I cry every time 😩 She’s in my top three female vocalists - Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, & Stevie Nicks! 💗💗 Thank you for your expertise!
This is the best version of the national anthem of all time
You're so sweet. I like your energy and openness. I also enjoyed listening to your thoughts on Whitney's performance. ❤️

Shes amazing yes her voice. She also was gorgeous. RIP
I think there is no need to have artists sing the Amrican National Anthem any more. Just play Whitney Houston’s rendition when needed! It is timeless, beautiful, and perfect. The bar was set in 1991, anything else simply WILL NOT DO. 😎

Effortless Whitney is the GOAT not to mention how much fun she seemed to be having
As an American veteran, I can say, it’s the most correct performance of the Star Spangled Banner, period. Ever.
Though it was pre-recorded, as all SB Anthems are, she did sing this live in the studio.
Absolutely NUTS! And you really spelled it out, @Beth Roars. Cheers from California. And Whitney nailed this, and The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Love you, Whitney.
You must remember that Whitney grew up on gospel music in the Black church
She sang on the choir and go all the solos!!! LoL We come from a rich musical history. We hear some of stylings in church from toddlers so it doesn't sound "extra" like it might for those who are used to more... standard kind of singing lol
Another thing that makes this rendition great is the arrangement. It may not be as obvious to non-Americans, but there's a lot of reharmonization in the chords. And it's in a different meter.
It will never, ever be done better than this. Ever.
