    Who else but the one true "voice" could make our national anthem a massive radio hit and have all the proceeds go to help great causes? I miss hearing her voice! We all got to experience the only "Whitney" that we will see in our lifetime, what a privilege it was and is. Thank you Whitney for all you did to make the world a better place while you were here with us.

    STILL give me chills😮 this and the Super Bowl performance still gives me chills even 33 years later and she’s passed away! And I still don’t care that she might’ve lip-synch the Super Bowl performance. It was still a dynamite performance. They just didn’t want to take a chance on a live broadcast.

    Whitney Houston was a vocal prodigy and her voice is the platinum standard of what all female vocalists should be. Whitney's rendition of the star spangled banner is noted by critics as being the definitive version of the national anthem in the 200+ year history of the song.

    I feel like this is better than the Super Bowl. This has abit more Whitney. The superbowl was a bit more sterilized. Probably because it was a one shot recording whereas this is the opening for an entire night of singing.

    • @terasus4
      @terasus4 Před měsícem

      The super bowl is more sterilized because it was pre-recorded.
      And even though it was gorgeous and epic, here she is singing live so you get her real emotion at that very moment. She is fantastic
