This is largely regarded as the best vocal rendition of our National Anthem. Houston sang this at the beginning of Super Bowl XXV in 1991, shortly after the beginning of the first Gulf War.

Oh say can she sing. What a wonderful, powerful voice and rendition of the national anthem. Thanks.

Compare this to Whitney's newest song. She is no longer this powerful. Its a shame what cocaine will do to a person.

This was lip synced ....look at how effortless she puts the notes out there....a few times she is off completely with the music as well. It was a great job in the studio somewhere, but not done live and has been admited by houston as not a live performance.

Live or synced-it is still Whitney Houston at her best. Unless you can sing better-stand back and st#u.

If memory serves me correctly, the "powers that be" wanted to make sure that Whitney didn't do an atrocity to our National Anthem as Roseanne Barr (Arnold) did in the past. Yes, it was recorded previously, but it is a very powerful rendition of our National Anthem. I could listen to this and Lee Greenwood singing "God Bless the U.S.A. over and over again--they both give me goosebumps! So, thank you, Walter and Barnesville Herald-Gazette for putting something really awesome on here! Keep it up!

Well, lipsynched or whatever, it really is one of the best renditions I've heard.
Hard to believe this happened almost 2 decades ago, isn't it?

The Anthem has moved me all my life, but I have never felt so thrilled as when Whitney sang. Since I first heard her, I've wanted to have a copy to listen to again and again through the years. Please, can anyone tell me where I can get one? Thank you.

REGARDLES OF WHAT YOU THINK REGARDLESS OF THE PERSON YOU ARE THINkING OF THIS LADY CAN SING AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF OUR OWN THAT WE NEED TO RECGONIZE AS A diva A legend and even now at her age to come back pick up and move forward give her the just dues that she has earned she is beautiful(still) and ultimately talented couragious to come back and take a stand ,none of us are perfect as much as we like to think we are . She has came back ackowledges her shortcomings and moving forward lets give her a standup ovation even if she never records another lyric she can stand among the best . Anything after her is only a copycat.the miriahs , beyonce etc .notice i used small letters.

Absolutely beautiful. Whitney singing the song seemed so very effortless. I'm sorry she has lost her voice and can no longer sing so fantastically. I wish her all the best.
