Whitney, is the pop version that sounds so free and healthy and she basically sang it as written, with very few flourishes unlike today's singers who tend to oversing our anthem, like Mrs. Flemming - she sings it as almost as written. Classical person here, so both are the epitome of excellence. In my opinion.

What a thrill, after sitting through so many tired old versions of this song. I would actually listen to it if it always sounded like that. Renee was asked by a naïve interviewer before the performance if she was nervous about hitting the high notes. She gracefully said she wasn't bothered by it. I guess she really wasn't!
Right. Those who's not interested in opera or classical singing may find her unknown. But she really is one of the biggest name of opera soprano in her time, she's quite reliable.
This was very classy. Whitney is my favorite singer and her version was one of my favorites...Rene...opera version is on point....I have added it to my favorite list...
Renee’s Kennedy Center Honors tribute sent me here! I’m not really an opera fan but I can’t believe she was the first opera singer to sing Star Spangled Banner at the Christmas Day of all Football Sundays! Brava
After some voice lessons I came back to this video. She is beyond magnificent IMHO. Of course, I have seen other videos of her singing and loved her in them too.
So The Star Spangled Banner can basically only be performed correctly by classically trained opera singers and Whitney Houston. I wish whoever is in charge of this for events would understand this.
In my opinion, this is the best performance of the National Anthem since Whitney Houston did it in 1991. Brava, Renée. You're talented beyond measure, and I feel honored that you would sing our national anthem.
Trevor Jefferson Renee's rendition of the National Anthem was wonderful! By what standard do you judge that it was, "Not received well by the crowd"?? As a Broncos fan, I think the National Anthem was the best part of that Super Bowl!!!
I remember her being interviewed before the performance and they asked her if she was nervous singing this. She said, no singing it is no problem, I'm just worried with all the people watching, I might trip over my own feet or something. She had such confidence singing it.
Well yeah this is probably what will you consider an opera version of The Anthem. Whitney Houston sings A blues version of The Anthem. Whitney's vocal dexterity goes Way Beyond this. It's also a Goosebumps hair standing on end with a tear in your eye version.
It’s frustrating to hear all these folks saying that Whitney’s version of our anthem is so much better than Renée’s. IN MY OPINION, Renée’s version is MUCH better!!! A big plus for Renée is that she is still ALIVE to sing it!!!
@@entity9588 Lol!! Never understood this stance - Whitney's is an all time great, but by no mean's the clear #1. There have been so many incredible performances since hers, a handful of which are IMO clearly better (including this one). I don't think I'm deaf either... ;)
@@SC4368661 A national anthem is the song of the nation. A song that is supposed to be able to be sung by everyone. Not a song that can only be sung by the opera singers or such superbly talented signers like Whitney Huston. This song is not sing able by the every day Joe. So what's the point then.

God bless you and yours daily 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Absolute BEST rendition of the National Anthem for a superbowl EVER. FINALLY we have someone to sing it nobly, correct, and with dignity. I am sick and tired of these woke divas that totally fuck up the words. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, Ms FLEMMING!!!!!!
By a long way, in terms of live performances of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at an American style football game, this rendition remains as the "Gold Standard"...
She could have easily done a high E here. Heard her do an incredible version of You'll never Walk Alone in Germany or somewhere. Those notes just flowed out of her like water.
This is how out National Anthem should be performed. With dignity and respect. I absolutely hate these hip hop/ R & B versions of the Star Bangles Banner.
@Iron Phoenix I absolutely hate them too. Classical music for the win! Here's my video commentary about the superiority of classical music. ruclips.net/user/shortsmWrlt-5LQi0?feature=share
I’m a great fan of Fleming and have many of her CDs and DVDs. She sang beautifully here, but I hardly recognized the arrangement as the Star Spangled Banner. Nonetheless, she’s better than any pop or soul pretender who grunts and screams her way through the national anthem.
Ms. Fleming is a marvelous Opera singer and a terrific Jazz singer, too. This is not her song (for this listener/fan). The SSB is a bravura pop singer's fantasia (See: W. Houston), requiring a mix of youthful enthusiasm and golly-gee awe, plus a giant pair of lungs to belt it out (also see K. Clarkson). Otherwise, it lends itself well to folksy renditions (See: Dixie Chicks *gorgeous* btw) or something more precious (See: A. Nevill). Today this might work in an oddly, sincerely non-campy way with a Joan Sutherland or a sweeter, lighter voice a la Kathleen Battle. Ms. Fleming- not so much.
Very powerful, classy and dignified. The national anthem is not supposed to be sung like a pop song (Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, etc). It takes a classically trained opera soprano like Rene Fleming to sing it with clarity and succinct the original way it was meant to be. No interpretation or embellishments here. Just simplicity.
You Are No Authority about what is "supposed to" happen. Pop can still be dignified and respectful. Whitney Houston may not have been "classically" trained but I'm sure Renee Fleming knows how good THAT was.
There were So Too interpretations and embellishments here because It Is Not Written with the extra high notes, and even more relevantly it is written IN 3/4, but ever since Whitney, stadium performances tend to set it in 4/4 because THAT sounds more dignified (and is also easier for performers to hear&feel). This one VERY weirdly starts out in 4 but moves to 3 for the final chorus. When Whitney started this trend, she stayed in 4 for the whole thing.

Renee Fleming nailed it...... No one else has ever come close.

Yeah, it’s not even at the top of her range. She has sung much more difficult music for much tougher crowds.
This was very classy. Whitney is my favorite singer and her version was one of my favorites...Rene...opera version is on point....I have added it to my favorite list...
my God every time I listen to this it gives me goosebumps what a performance still listening January 2022
Her likes come once every century, maybe.

This is world class. It’s rich in tone. No surprise here. The best in the world.
Wow what a performance. ❤
So The Star Spangled Banner can basically only be performed correctly by classically trained opera singers and Whitney Houston. I wish whoever is in charge of this for events would understand this.
Whitney again...*exasperated sigh*
I. Don't. Like. Her. Style!!! Blues and soul aggravate and irritate me.
AGREED.

+Kris Osterhout She's better than Whitney. Whitney still added some extra notes.
Ihdc1 she sings good classically yes, but her performance was not as good, fluidly sung, or felt by the crowed as Whitney.
Trevor Jefferson Renee's rendition of the National Anthem was wonderful! By what standard do you judge that it was, "Not received well by the crowd"?? As a Broncos fan, I think the National Anthem was the best part of that Super Bowl!!!
Ihdc1 So??? I prefer Whitney Houston’s because hers seemed a lot cleaner
Lord Voldemort What?? What do you mean,"a lot cleaner"?? It is impossible to fairly compare an opera singer to a pop singer!
Bravo Renee!!!! The National Anthem was the best part of the whole program!
I cried while watching this. Wonderful. ❤
I remember her being interviewed before the performance and they asked her if she was nervous singing this. She said, no singing it is no problem, I'm just worried with all the people watching, I might trip over my own feet or something. She had such confidence singing it.
Best performance ever
She’s one of the best such a beautiful full lyric soprano
Still the best to ever do it.
Beautiful, classy, voice is out of this world!!! Thank you. This song always gives me goose bumps.
The best performance of our national anthem. Hands down.
Whitney is much better. You're deaf if you think otherwise. Its a fact not an opinion.
Well yeah this is probably what will you consider an opera version of The Anthem. Whitney Houston sings A blues version of The Anthem. Whitney's vocal dexterity goes Way Beyond this. It's also a Goosebumps hair standing on end with a tear in your eye version.

This is how the high notes should be sung, effortless.
Effortless for her is expected ... such a show off... almost seems out of tune and with not much grace !
Tells you something when your national anthem can only be sung by an opera singer. Need a different song I would say. A song for the people.
@@ajrocks12x I agree I'd much rather have America the beautiful be the national anthem,

She is so wonderful !!!
That was beautiful!! I cried and couldn't breathe! Absolutely wonderful! God bless the America we were given!
See a doctor.
this is what classically abby thinks she sounds like
Excellent!!! Stunning! Such ease in the passaggio and gorgeous legato singing! Exemplary!
High note was beautiful!
What a spectacular performance by a magnificent singer, Renee Fleming.🎉
Meanwhile, at my house, every piece of glass shatters. A stunning performance!
MYTH AND NOT EVEN ELLA SHATTERED GLASS...
@@alieshsonoma922it's a joke, kiddo.
Incredibly beautiful!
Hands down BEST Super Bowl National anthem performance ever! Renee Fleming is the voice of an angel for sure period!
Beautiful, Renee !
Has never been done better.
Opera just kills it.
Among other things, it’s her pinpoint control that is so incredible.
Divine singing, that does perfect justice to the National Anthem, which gets butchered over and over by others.
Perfection!
My glasses broke when I was watching this is amazing
Exceptional! RF’s version outshines the 2021 version by far!
Wonderful singer
Now that's the way you do it
I love u Renee. Beautiful voice
Shes so great..
The best!!!

The best performance
Singer and Song are ONE. They are AMERICAN Through and Through !
Wow!
Renee, Whitney, and Lady Gaga ( at Biden inauguration) are my 3 faves.
Kudos to you for appreciating all of America instead of dissing one of these!
Yesss. Goddess.

Whitney Houston's version is and always will be the gold standard. Not this crap.

@@janetflier6192 You make a great point about the bank account thing though lol.
who else has to watch these for chorus
That is a good assignment !
Yes, She is Amazing. What a beautiful voice. Our National Anthem!
Damn clear Soprano voice is so powerful🦾
Brava!!!🌹🌹
Aww nice. I love a babino caro. Found it thru youtube thank u.
Magnífica
Amazing
Whyyyyyyy did they cut the video off before the aircrafts finished flying over?!?😟😦😧
My favorite Soprano, along with Birgit Nilsson!
better than Fergie
That's not difficult !
A cat slowly dying would sound better than fergie
My mom and dad in the bedroom would sound better than Fergie or God forbid Yoko Ono.
I thought this was the best rendition
No one Kneeling. Yay!
Renée Fleming This is more of the all new "Operatic-Gospel" version ala Angel Blue or Candace Y Johnson. Stay blessed & #StayHealthy.
I remember America
I saw that it was the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra playing on the recording, right?
She could have easily done a high E here. Heard her do an incredible version of You'll never Walk Alone in Germany or somewhere. Those notes just flowed out of her like water.
Do you mean how she turned the word "free" into "free-o"? That bugged me & took the song from an 8.5 to a 5 for me. 🤷♀️
@@jbo9150 she's really upset that you dropped her to a 5.
As a European, I'll never understand what the army is doing at a sport game. It's really weird.
This is how out National Anthem should be performed. With dignity and respect.
I absolutely hate these hip hop/ R & B versions of the Star Bangles Banner.
You mean the black versions
This comment stinks of racism...ew ew ew!
Just say you’re racist and go.
@Iron Phoenix I absolutely hate them too. Classical music for the win! Here's my video commentary about the superiority of classical music.

It would be nice if He would, but with all our evil-doing, why should He??
kinda sad there was only ONE shot of the ASL interpreter :(
wait, someone who didn't butcher every line with their own crappy rendition? SOLD!!
Great, but I still say Sandi Patty is the Queen of the Anthem. She even performs the second verse and puts a tag on the end that is mind blowing
Well, yes, Sandi Patti just had the right kind of voice for this kind of occasion.
😍
The background chorus and music kind of remind me of CIV 5
I’m a great fan of Fleming and have many of her CDs and DVDs. She sang beautifully here, but I hardly recognized the arrangement as the Star Spangled Banner. Nonetheless, she’s better than any pop or soul pretender who grunts and screams her way through the national anthem.
Whitney did it better.
Best live version! Whitney's version was amazing, but pre-recorded (which is cool, but not live) ;)
@@samuelm.5752 Nope. Her long- time musical director said she did sing it live on the field, but the audio heard was actually pre-recorded.
You can tell that Whitney would've nailed it regardless. The lip sync was so damn perfect
I just wished she just sung it without that background, like damn!
I agree! She certainly didn’t need the background singers!!!

She did!
