There is no need to compare these amazing singers, but from a strictly musical standpoint, there is no one else to my knowledge, who has ever recorded the additional stanzas of the national anthem, and with such a rousingly orchestral arrangement as was performed in Sandi Patty's version, and for that alone, if nothing else, it stands a world apart from all the other renditions. She took it to a whole new level!

Linda Camarda I agree with you, but those additional stirring words were added by the arranger. They are not part of the song.

Sandi Patty is a supernatural singer. She is the powerhouse voice that God gave to her to bring His message to all His people. She owns this song, this is her signature song " the national anthem" . There is not a person on the planet that can sing this song like Sandi. Furthermore, the national anthem is a song I never liked in my life till I heard Sandi sang it. She gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. She sings this song that makes every citizen proud to be an american.

After re-watching the Whitney Houston version (which was incredible), I had to go back and listen to Sandi Patty's version again. Certainly a different orchestration and one I never get tired of hearing. It gives me chills every time I hear it. It made such an impression that I'll never forget the first time I heard it. What a voice! As someone else has posted, she truly owns this song.

I love her voice but it is fun to watch the guy playing the piano behind her. I would think he is directing but there is a conductor so..... maybe he just loves the arrangement as much as I do - of course I only "direct" like that in the car. Oh well, it is still the best arrangement ever.

@mariah17 - This is a typical David Clydesdale arrangement. He uses the modulations to build emotion (and keep the instrumentalists alert!) He is very well-known in Contemporary Christian music, the vast majority of which is never recorded to make money like typical pop music. It hasn't been mentioned in the comments, but this was first sung for the July 4th 1986, re-dedication of the Statue of Liberty ceremony after it's extensive restoration. Sandi did the honors.
