@@rcisneros310 Whitney, when she did the national anthem, which was the greatest national anthem that we ever heard, what we heard over the air was prerecorded. The reason it was prerecorded was, that was a moment that no one wanted any mistakes. They didn't want any feedback, they didn't want any technical difficulties ... and it was great. There are so many logistics to overcome in a live performance in a venue like that. For one, the background noise of the crowd. This is actually standard practice for events like this. The producers years ago started asking to hear the anthem tracks a week before airtime, just so they would have one less potential variable. Look it up.

Honestly though, it irritates me so much that people never understand that it's meant to be "I COULDN'T care less" !! Like, I could NOT care ANY less than I already do. If you say "I COULD care less..." it means you do actually care! Aaaaahhh lol, it's just one of those things for me that annoys me, also like how people say "she's an amazing WOMEN" instead of "WOMAN"! We learn this shit in school!! Anyway sorry for hijacking this comment and venting my frustrations to you, I hope you all have a wonderful day!

the track suit was a weather-related choice - she had brought a sleeveless gown to wear - but it was really COLD in Tampa that day in January - she was wearing a winter coat, hat and gloves at rehearsal that morning - she told her assistant that she would freeze in the gown - her assistant had packed the track suit and reminded her about it - it worked PERFECTLY - just like Whitney.

and her phrasing was PERFECT! she never once in that performance sang any words/phrases unnaturally just to seize an opportunity to hit an extra half-note, or add a vocal run. she really did just sing it as it’s written, well arranged, with perfect enunciation and the best tone AND power and volume possible. Why they’re still hiring people to turn in mediocre or struggling performances to, like, triple AAA MLB farm team baseball games and not just playing Whitney’s performance, I’ll never know...

I hope you're not an American or living in the states. Imagine you're out on a ship battling and they're bombing the city to hell... You can't do anything about it and don't know if everyone is dead. The smoke clears and you see they haven't taken the flag, somehow, they made it through that hell. I guess you've never served or worried about someone getting power, after living through war, taking everything you own and telling you your history is dead from this point and you're subjects of a new power. Some countries have been through that a lot, but this young country hadn't. One day, hopefully not for the wrong reasons, when it's too late, you'll realize what it means and why you should keep it.

@@emeraldisle8406 any other reasons aside, when the poem was first put to music it was well known for being a tune with an uncomfortably wide vocal range. The reason the great performances are so widely celebrated is because it’s such a hard song to perform or at least to perform well (not just Fergie’s iconically odd jazzy performance but just normal people at everyday events etc). For most people, the range is too wide to sing either the start or the end comfortably which is not good for an anthem and it’s not wrong to realise that. This is not unique to that song, Happy Birthday has that third line octave leap that often makes people strain a bit and that’s obviously sung all the time, even if a less dramatic interval would probably be better for everyone. I’m not American, but I think Whitney’s version is indeed incredible (my fav version is the all state Kentucky choir rendition), but as songs go, the tune itself is not ideal. The words are also not the easiest to remember when singing alone, with the enjambment of the lines making each clause not really lead on from the other that obviously and the long lines obscuring the rhyming scheme a bit. Apparently there have been multiple attempts to get the USA’s national anthem switched to something more people could sing well, as that might make it easier to participate and so function better as a song to bring everyone patriotically together, but every time has failed and the star spangled banner has stuck. When it’s sung well though, it is a good song and changing it at this point to America the Beautiful or whatever would never catch on.
