People with a musical ear can hear that: - 0:58 swift deep vocal movement - 1:07 head transition - 1:37-1:42 vocal run - 2:18 Perfect chest 2 head transition make this one of the best vocal performances of all time; and of course the vocal run at the end :)
This was song live, the even announce it on air, the late Whitney Houston wasn't live it w as pre recorded and i didn't know that. I can always tell when she is singing live..
I say this with love for Beyonce.....but this is the 2nd best rendition. Whitney Houston will always own the best version. And I'm saying this as someone who is a bigger fan of Beyonce than Whitney. Whitney's version was so epic that it was sold as a single for charity, selling 1 million copies and being the only version of the national anthem to be a top 10 hit on the Billboard charts. No one can touch that.
OMG! It gets me every time, there is no doubt that Beyonce is the best at what she does...She knows which note goes where, and where to adlip. BRAVO, BRAVO...
***** I hope so too... And TopherXC I'm not saying that it hasn't, I'm just saying she's holding back now, to focus on the look of industry, instead of the talent and art
This even moved me to tears and I'm BRITISH! I've always loved Beyonce and I always will even if, God forbid, she messes up big time like Whitney, she's the voice of my generation. I don't know her but I'm so proud of her.
Bitch I don't think yall understand just how good this is!!! I swear!!! I mean!!!!! My edges? Gone. My soul? Bitch where? My confidence? What's that¿ I'm fucking done! I want to fight beyonce because I'm tired of being snatched so much. If I were playing football...I wouldn't even be able to play because my helmet would've been snatched too!
I had to come here after Christina's I just wanna forget about hers. Beyonce singing The Star Spangled Banner was amazing, she has so much control over her voice. This is how it's DONE. I'm over here crying! Just Beautiful!!!!!
Same, but I think Beyoncé secretly murdered Whitney so she could steal the show... who knows... But when Whitney died Beyoncé's national anthem game got lit up coincidentally.
Donnie Francis maybe it's you who should, because she's singing in a stadium without earpods or anything to hear the music and hide the reverb: so definitely yes, I think my organs work just fine, at least better than yours.
+Donnie Francis tell them to stop lmaooo this aint even in top 5 like jennifer hudson killed her mariah in 05 killed her christina Aguilera killed her ariana grande killed her and so on aaliyah even sid bwtter when she was only 15!!! :-)
Beyonce can sing so well. She is just amazing. No other way to describe her and this performance. Anyone who says Beyonce can't sing or has no talent needs to watch this video.
Beyonce did this effortlessly. This is BY FAR her BEST PERFORMANCE! No one can doubt that she can DEFINITELY sing after watching this. No matter how much they hate her. RUclips is proof that she did one of the best performances.
I will never forget where I was the first time I heard this. In my living room, eating, and I look up after the "rockets red glare" and the food fell from my mouth... She is amazing.
do you notice why Beyounce is successful she puts xtra effort in whateva she does. YOu notice her background music is even different and evokes certain emotions. Have to admire that, also the destiny's child version they twisted it... nice hard work pays off.
@beyfan110 It is amazing how some singers like Beyonce can sing, but when you hear them live, it just blows you away. I remember I thought she and Shakira couldn't sing live, and I saw them, I felt horrible for thinking their voices were fake
This is just Simply the best I'm Not even American and I can't stop watching this her whitney and Mariah are the all time best female singers, nobody can top them
this music here where beyonce singing on the field there. Shew make me cry. I just Gonna cry in my heart. she is the best in the whole amercia so im so proud of her for singing so. so don't miss this
What's so interesting about both Whitney's and Beyonce's renditions of the national anthem is that they both occured when the U.S. took part in a war. Whitney sang in the wake of the First Gulf War and Beyonce sang in the wake of the Iraq war, and they are both considered to be among the best renditions of the Star -Spangled Banner at a Superbowl
I just fell in love with this country and that’s thanks to the TALENTS of THE QUEEN! My little equation: Beyonce + being a Citizen of the US = Best thing the US has!!!!
Beyonce Beyonce Beyonce...... this shows how talented you are... its sooooo perfect!! every words you sang out, i had goosebumps ... can i request you to sing it again?? with your "mature" voice now, i think it will be the best national anthem ever record live....
Its like I'm watching it for the first time. Well, first time commenting, thats the best its ever been done. That song is exactly what she's good at. She can bring how everyone's feeling to the table, the players were getting choked up, the pride of everyone silenced, before the big game she cancels all that out, they're reminded again what they're playing for! I love being an honorary American, I feel that way, I feel everything listening to this. And I'm glad its Beyonce too.
Om My Goodness! Yes! this is the only popstar i have heard sing the national anthem that actually sounded good, And SHE CAN ORNAMENT, TRILL, AND SING ALL THE NOTES SO IN TUNE, AND SO WELL, I LOVE BEYONCEE CUZ SHE CAN SING!, :-), MAKES ME SMILE, ALOT OF POP stars CANT! sing like she does, she is very talented!, :-)
Any person who thinks Beyonce is untalented must not be in their right minds. She's just perf.
I've watched it well over 3 times and still get chills every time !! She makes me proud to be an American.
I would have to say the way Beyoncé ended this is my favorite of all...
People with a musical ear can hear that:
- 0:58 swift deep vocal movement
- 1:07 head transition
- 1:37-1:42 vocal run
- 2:18 Perfect chest 2 head transition
make this one of the best vocal performances of all time; and of course the vocal run at the end :)
👏👏👏
This was song live, the even announce it on air, the late Whitney Houston wasn't live it w as pre recorded and i didn't know that. I can always tell when she is singing live..
Best National Anthem Performances:
1 - Whitney Houston
2 - Beyoncé
3 - All the other bitches who have tried
+Zhengru An
Whitney lipped hers. Even though she has an amazing voice, I think Beyonce deserves the #1 spot for this.
+lieutenant Ann So Mariah Carey is a bitch who tried?
Who knows, maybe it is.
+lieutenant Ann wrong. gaga
+lieutenant Ann Jennifer Hudson
This is the best rendition of the National Anthem. Ever.
I say this with love for Beyonce.....but this is the 2nd best rendition. Whitney Houston will always own the best version. And I'm saying this as someone who is a bigger fan of Beyonce than Whitney.

Absolutely beaurtiful. Beyonce didn't over do it by trying to draw out every syllable to showcase herself! I got chills listening to it.

🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
+Ariana Racquel Beyonce's was not live
+John Letter yes it was you ediot only the one she did for the president wasn't
+Paora Ngaheu You are deaf Lol It is not live .Look it up and get the fuck off
Lol it's live you loser
+Ariana Racquel I am of course a fan of beyonce amazing vocal capacity but at the time same she is no whitney...
i love the way she sings at the end is so safe and gives me cold chills
The period when her riffs & runs just came naturally & blended so well... She still totally has it, but back then her voice was so raw & pure
***** I hope so too... And TopherXC I'm not saying that it hasn't, I'm just saying she's holding back now, to focus on the look of industry, instead of the talent and art
Dejeuvon Hicks i can agree with that. she doesn't sing power balads anymore, only this remixed R&B stuff
The way she sang this, it almost brought tears to my eyes! Espically at the end! She is so good! Makes one proud to be an American!
That was the BEST! Absolutely amazing!
OH MY GOD AMAZING!!! I ALMOST CRIED
This even moved me to tears and I'm BRITISH! I've always loved Beyonce and I always will even if, God forbid, she messes up big time like Whitney, she's the voice of my generation. I don't know her but I'm so proud of her.
Fave national anthem superbowl performance imho
RUclips wasn't even a year old when this was uploaded
2:28 gave me life and chills!!!
I'm not American but she almost made me cry with her voice and her pasion.... I could feel every word...!!!! A -G R E A T- ARTIST....!!!! WOW!

Bitch I don't think yall understand just how good this is!!! I swear!!! I mean!!!!! My edges? Gone. My soul? Bitch where? My confidence? What's that¿ I'm fucking done! I want to fight beyonce because I'm tired of being snatched so much. If I were playing football...I wouldn't even be able to play because my helmet would've been snatched too!

Unpopular opinion I know, but I like this one better than Whitney's.
Same, but I think Beyoncé secretly murdered Whitney so she could steal the show... who knows... But when Whitney died Beyoncé's national anthem game got lit up coincidentally.
+King Spooky Skeleton 💀💀💀💀😂😂😂
nobody is better than whitney
2:31 OMGGGGG 😔😨😱😱😢😢🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Whitneys was amazing but lip synced...this wasnt
I got shivers with the orchestra behind her, the flags, her voice. It's just all too gorgeous.
let's be honest, this was more lipsynced than Britney Spears' entire career
Get your eyes and ears checked.
Donnie Francis maybe it's you who should, because she's singing in a stadium without earpods or anything to hear the music and hide the reverb: so definitely yes, I think my organs work just fine, at least better than yours.
+Luigi Mazzini Like I said, get your eyes and ears checked.
+Donnie Francis tell them to stop lmaooo this aint even in top 5 like jennifer hudson killed her mariah in 05 killed her christina Aguilera killed her ariana grande killed her and so on aaliyah even sid bwtter when she was only 15!!! :-)
actually it wasn't lol
I remember watching this on TV. I was blown away! Best performance ever of the National Anthem.
The. All time best, along with Whitney's. Beyonce was only 22 years old, & she just nails it!!!
she has soooo much control over her voice. that's not just singing. it's skills. people fail to realize that...
Beyonce can sing so well. She is just amazing. No other way to describe her and this performance. Anyone who says Beyonce can't sing or has no talent needs to watch this video.
Beyonce did this effortlessly. This is BY FAR her BEST PERFORMANCE! No one can doubt that she can DEFINITELY sing after watching this. No matter how much they hate her. RUclips is proof that she did one of the best performances.
This is the one of the best of the best National Anthem sang by Beyonce. She has best gift voice ever. The truly diva!!!
I will never forget where I was the first time I heard this. In my living room, eating, and I look up after the "rockets red glare" and the food fell from my mouth... She is amazing.
This not lip synced, you can tell when Beyonce is singing live and this live! This was amazing!
1:00 man, listen to those chordal movements. damn, that's genius orchestrating. also beyonce is a phenomenon.
God she has such a beautiful voice. Definately the best sounding voice I've heard and of course AMAZING vocal skills that can't be matched by many.
The best National Anthem representation i ever heard. I not get tired to watching this performance We Love Beyoncé
in my opinion this has been the greatest performance in superbowl history, i get goosebumps and also makes me want to cry!!! great job B!
THe ending gives me the biggest chills and goosebumps I ever had listening to a person sing...I was like WOW
Beyonce can sing circles around these girls EFFORTLESSLY. No lipsyncing, just RAW GOD GIVEN TALENT.
She's simply stunning, visually and vocally! Love you Beyonce!!
do you notice why Beyounce is successful she puts xtra effort in whateva she does. YOu notice her background music is even different and evokes certain emotions. Have to admire that, also the destiny's child version they twisted it... nice hard work pays off.
the horn section (muted trumpet or french horn) with bey crescendo riffs from 2:25 and on that combo kills me every time love it
OhMy God !!!! That's incredible.....how can we have a voice like that it's so wonderful....
This is one of the BEST performances of the national anthem that I've seen. B better SANG!!!!
Now that's the way to do it! I love singing the National Anthem at sports events...it is a real thrill every time!
She made that very emotional. Such a powerful voice. I love her. :)
@beyfan110
It is amazing how some singers like Beyonce can sing, but when you hear them live, it just blows you away. I remember I thought she and Shakira couldn't sing live, and I saw them, I felt horrible for thinking their voices were fake
