A+++ reaction!!!!! As a lifelong music industry pro, I use this specific song to quickly gauge if people can really hear musical excellence. It is not just that this is the greatest national anthem ever. It is also one of the greatest recordings of a singing performance by any singer since recording technology was invented. And beyond even THAT, the context of the song and the times this happened in, and the fact she was at her absolute vocal peak, add an element of something far beyond mere technical AND artistic perfection. There is something present here I have not heard in any other live performance in my life. I have no words for it. But it's there. One of the greatest voices of all time, singing the national anthem of the most powerful empire in history, in a live performance watched by countless tens of millions, just before that empires final championship athletic battle AND just before that empires warriors go into actual battle. All that is present in the coalescence of factors here. All that pushes this one specific performance into some other dimension that I am not sure many singers have ever broken through before or since. So saying I think "this is the best national anthem ever" doesn't even come close to how I view this. NOW, the background facts. The arrangement is ALSO the best ever, to match her voice, also not even close. The arrangement is also a true masterpiece. The NFL hated the arrangement and wanted it changed. They didn't "get it". Whitney and the arranger held their ground and threatened to walk, the NFL caved. There of course was a full rehearsal the day before with the full orchestra. They gave Whitney the musical score and let her read it silently. Once. Before they began, Whitney and the shows producers had agreed that they lacked confidence that the audio on her mic, live, could be guaranteed to perform perfectly. The stakes were just too high to risk her cutting out live. I mean just imagine. So everyone agreed that they would record her best take during rehearsal, and during the show, she would actually sing, full out, not lip sync, and actually double the recorded track from the rehearsal the day before, but because the live orchestra and recorded track were amplified, no one except those standing next to her could possibly hear her live singing. But she would still sing live, oh yes. So that was the understanding when they did the very first play through with the orchestra. She sang it once, the first time singing this arrangement, just moments after reading the score for the first time. After the last note of the first take, everyone one was just... silent. It was understood that she would sing exactly what she had just sung, 24 hours later, live, and sing full out, exactly matching the recording. No other takes were made, this was the first and only take. So this was not only NOT lip syncing, it was like a doubled performance. Knowing that a flawless, timeless audio was already guaranteed, she was free to not worry about anything other than giving the most joyous and transcendent visual performance (while still singing live at superhuman levels) a human being can give.

It was a scary time but that anthem reminded us what it was to be American. This anthem is the GOAT, hands down! What makes this even better is that she literally ran onto the field because she was late! Just ran out there, belted it out!!!! And the stadium wasn’t Raymond James back then or even the stadium that the Bucs play in now, it was actually located where the parking lot is now and was The Big Sombrero!!!

From Wikipedia: "The Star-Spangled Banner" was performed by Houston at the original Tampa Stadium for Super Bowl XXV in 1991. Although Houston was singing live, she was singing into a dead microphone, and television viewers were hearing a non-live pre-recorded version of the anthem due to her musical director making her aware of the risks of performing live, including the sound of the crowd, jets flying overhead, and other such distractions from pregame activities. ----------------------------------------------- I believe if Whitney had sung live the performance would have been just as spectacular. In my opinion she is the greatest female singer of all time, of all genres. However, I prefer Chris Stapleton’s version of the national anthem over Whitney’s. Whitney’s version is strong and uplifting and impressive with its vocal gymnastics…like a magnificent pop song. But Stapleton’s version guts you and makes you break down in tears. The anthem tells the story of men who were defending a fort from the entire British navy…men who were sitting ducks, outmanned and outgunned, but who refused to surrender to British rule. They held up the flag with their bare hands every time it was shot down, risking death. After 25 hours of shelling the flag was flying and the British were defeated. Stapleton’s guitar seems to cry in pain as he sings like a wounded warrior, at the same time defiant and triumphant. And that is why his version touches something so deep inside us.
