@Bazz27041988 You have to be to believe that Beyonce did a "much better job" than Whitney. And no, I'm not just saying that because Whitney has passed on. I would've said that during her "crack is whack" era as well.
I MIGHT BE ON 'ALONE ISLAND' ON THIS ONE...BUT I THINK IN COMBINATION WITH THE ORCHESTRA AND HER RIVETING HARMONY, THIS IS 'THE' BEST RENDITION OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER LIVE.
Apart from one riff that I didn't think she needed, this was one of the best live versions of the Anthem I've ever heard. Breathtaking, simply breathtaking.
before beyonce went solo, i couldn't stand her. but after watching this when it aired, i gained so much respect for her. yes, whitney's voice was alot more powerful, but beyonce did a great job on it too.
Why do you compare her to Whitney ???You talking about that NOW, when Whitney is with God,But I'M SURE that you didn't thought THIS before she was dead.Beyonce is an original in her voice and pefromances!!! And Whitney as well.I'm not saying that Whitney isn't good at it ... but she is so F**Cking amazing..but you can't compare this two persons...because both are singing MOST POWERFUL.First listen and recognize something REAL in order to say UNRELATED THINGS....THANKS!!!!
Beyonces was very good, even as good as it was, still cannot hold a candle to whitneys, but it just goes to show the level Whitney was on.Out of the lime light made people "forget" who the diva is. Whitneys voice and skill was on another level. It's like back in the 90's when the bulls had all of those Championship runs, dominating a highly competitive sport like no other run in history. Pippen was the best player on the planet during that time...... but Mike was the best player in the Universe.
OMG... plzz lets STOP comparing singers. They did what they could with God given voice. If ya didnt like their version, ya can upload your version and we can judging you based on ur voice. Got it....thanks
I don't why the fuck everyone is talking about Whitney Houston. What does she have to do with anything? Quit comparing Beyonce to her Whitney has nothing to do with this video.
this is so far the best ending to the national anthem that i've heard yet. simply amazing. Whitney Houston did it perfectly but Beyonce also killed it.
PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET THAT WHITNEY LIP SYNCD HER PERFORMANCE,IT WAS PRE RECORDED GO ND DO UR RESEARCH ND fIND OUT SMH! Ppl sayin whitney lookd like it was no effort for her..well durrrr wen u LIP sync somin obviously. Bey sang this live, with evrything goin on around her..she killd this performance, end off. Whitneys was great, but I respec bey more for actually singin
Smh, why are ppl comparing this with whitneys performance? Whitneys voice is difrent to beys and whitney has a much stronger voice than bey..whitneys version was great no doubt. But recognise the fact that beyonce killed this performance this was great, the crowd we're already chearing half way through and u can see the players nd coaches getin moved by it,she sang it nbeautifuly and didn't try to oversing, unlike som ppl of recent smh..beyonce u killed it girl!

The fact that people are coming for Beyonce at comparing her performance to Whitney's says more about Beyonce than it does Whitney. Threatened much? Give it a rest. Both were phenomenal renditions.
u guys are only started saying whitney's version is better after u found out she died.. so now u are bagging on any other version of the star spangled banner.. bandwagon much? They both did a great job stop comparing different generations of singers
@johnjinyoung Where have you been for the last 20 years? People were saying Whitney's version set the bar for years and years. But you have a point with the comparing different singers, etc.
ok damn whitney might have been better..but beyonce's was very good to..if you wanna say whitney was good then go on her video and say that ..im a fan of both..but seriously people stop fucking comparing
You can tell talent when something is done effortlessly. When Whitney Houston sang it, it was without effort and was great. When Beyonce sang, it appears like she had to put too much effort in it and did not hold her high notes as long. So therefore Whitney did a way better job!
look can you please stop comparing her to whitney ya sure she did better than her but u don't need to come up in her videos and say that whitney is better
I must say that she did a great job with the last few notes. I also have to say the Military Bands always do an awesome job too. Nothing like hearing the anthem with a Military Band.
I really am not a comparison person because comparing is an awful thing to do... but, honestly the reason why people can't shake what Whitney Houston did with the Star Spangled Banner and that NOBODY will ever be able to sing above what she did is because not only was Whitney's voice THE VOICE of voices (which was given her by the Lord), but she had a very special anointing that rested on her that day from the Lord to do that. The world will NEVER be able to shake it because God gave that to her
@anointedtoserve Preach!!! They dont understand that...no matter what Whitney has done in life she had the voice of an Anointed Angel...Beyonce just sing, Whitney sang!!!
There is only one Whitney Houston as there is only one Beyonce Knowlles. If Whitneys sudden passing has not taught us anything; let it be that we Appericate, Respect and Honor those who are so dear to us! If you like one or both fine. Yet,respect these women for their GOD given gift they have shared with us:)
oh.Beyonce fans,where are you?so,I DON'T THINK that Whitney performed better.yeah,she's got an amazing voice,but BEYONCE IS THE BEST,WHATEVER YOU SAY!Nobody can be compared with QUEEN BEE!
@30secondstotwilight they both did great job,but come on,when it comes to the star spangled banner versions,nobody can touch whitney,whitney have one of the greatest voices ever,& im a beyonce fan as well,but voice wise,Whitney wins,hands down.(R.I.P. Whitney Houston <3)
YOU CAN'T COMPARE BEYONCE TO WHITNEY ITS UNFAIR TO BEYONCE!!.think what you want to but she sounds like a weak cat scatchin at notes vs all powerful whitney. Not hatin on beyonce but go listen to whitney doin it!
My brother strongly disagrees with the ‘War on Terror’, but he makes his views known in a manner shameful to our family.
He attends every TV talent show he can wearing a fake army uniform & medals- & sings the National Anthem in a nauseatingly high falsetto voice, telling judges he’s been “emasculated at the hands of the Neo-Con Military-Financial Complex”.
What he hopes to achieve by this ‘protest’ is beyond us. He always upsets people & has received serious beat-downs on several occasions.
Contrary to what many seem to believe, I feel it is fair to compare this to Whitney's. Beyonce is one of, if not the BEST (famous) vocalist of this generation, so I totally believe she is in Whitney's class, and their voices are somewhat comparable. Whereas Whitney's voice was a little stronger, I prefer the sweet sound of Bey's tone, and she has a lot of power as well. And that's my two cents.
@AsiaVanity I believe you just watch Dream Girls, and say that all three of those girls are flipping ridiculous. Truly no trio better in this world or the next. (the third being Jennifer Hudson)
There are a few special performances of this song that reduce me to tears, which is a little embarrassing since I teach a unit on these performances to my university music students.
They are:
Faith Hill, SB XXIV
Aretha Franklin, 4th of July with National Symphony
I enjoyed Beyonce but prefer Whitney in that chronological order. Beyonce definitley added her twist (as everyone else) but you can tell its heavily influenced by Whitney's. oh and btwif youre wondering why im comparing: This video popped up in 'Related Videos' which made my mind want to compare it. i was just a viewer my thoughts are controlled by its own thinking.
Idc what anyone says, for me, this was the best ever...it may not have been sung in a time as fitting as whitney's but ill be honest this one is the best lol
And as great as Beyonce sang it then -- in 2004 -- I bet she'd do even better now! Not a lot of artists out there who seem to really grow vocally with time and age... Beyonce's definitely one of them.
are u seriously comparing wow this was nothing compared to whitney. whitney let her notes run forever and sung it at a higher note.. at least compare whitney with mariah not beyonce lol whitney is 'the voice' and always will be.case dismissed
this is amazing......i believe that every individual that sings it at the super bowl has their own unique way of singing the national anthem. no one is better than anyone. Whitney was wonderful, beyonce was wonderful, Christina was wonderful. everybody did great.
She did a nice job. But for the Beyonce die hards I don't think it's a matter of comparing Beyonce to Whitney because she just died. Whitney has done it like no one else. Therefore she is the standard (Whitney). So in essence everybody will be compared to Whitney not just Beyonce.
@ladyslove89 Nah Face the fact Noone can ever top Her & u know it.beyonce has nunthin on whitney rather whitneys Alive or Not She never will None of them will.Whitney had a god given voice/
@oceauna lol where were you people when whitney was alive? whitney may be good but the fact that you say beyonce has NOTHING on her just shows how unrealistic you are being...if you love her so much go comment on her videos?
@djollyboy Were u People when she was Alive? im Just saying ur pretty PATHETIC to compare Beyonce To Whitney houston when she will never Be As good as her & im 13 and i know that. MY OPINION! anyway -.-
@oceauna I think you're missing the picture of my comment!! I said people are comparing this to Whitney's because Whitney just died. I never said that Beyonce's was better than Whitney's. Of course Whitney sanged down in the name of singing, but that is besides the point. If Jennifer Hudson were to die tomorrow, everyone would be comparing Jennifer's to Beyonce because that's just how people work.
No, she's not better than Whitney. Whitney sang arguably the best National Anthem ever to be sung at a Super Bowl. However, Beyonce was incredible, and she and Whitney are entirely different kinds of singers.
@sunrisesunset51 that's your opinion buddy. you can't tell people their opinion is wrong because it doesn't match yours. beyonce > whitney, my opinion.
@lrod132 J.Hud sounds lack a lot of control. She may have soul and you may feel it but technically speaking it wasn't that great. I'm not even a huge fan of Beyonce but it's clean her vocal is clear and strong here.
can't really compare it to Whitney's. different voices and styles and all.but the ending was very good.

As someone said before everyone sings the song in there own unique way, with that being said I think Beyonce did an excellent job.

And as great as Beyonce sang it then -- in 2004 -- I bet she'd do even better now! Not a lot of artists out there who seem to really grow vocally with time and age... Beyonce's definitely one of them.

this is amazing......i believe that every individual that sings it at the super bowl has their own unique way of singing the national anthem. no one is better than anyone. Whitney was wonderful, beyonce was wonderful, Christina was wonderful. everybody did great.

She did a nice job. But for the Beyonce die hards I don't think it's a matter of comparing Beyonce to Whitney because she just died. Whitney has done it like no one else. Therefore she is the standard (Whitney). So in essence everybody will be compared to Whitney not just Beyonce.

@oceauna lol where were you people when whitney was alive? whitney may be good but the fact that you say beyonce has NOTHING on her just shows how unrealistic you are being...if you love her so much go comment on her videos?

@oceauna I think you're missing the picture of my comment!! I said people are comparing this to Whitney's because Whitney just died. I never said that Beyonce's was better than Whitney's. Of course Whitney sanged down in the name of singing, but that is besides the point. If Jennifer Hudson were to die tomorrow, everyone would be comparing Jennifer's to Beyonce because that's just how people work.

No, she's not better than Whitney. Whitney sang arguably the best National Anthem ever to be sung at a Super Bowl. However, Beyonce was incredible, and she and Whitney are entirely different kinds of singers.

@sunrisesunset51 that's your opinion buddy. you can't tell people their opinion is wrong because it doesn't match yours. beyonce > whitney, my opinion.

@lrod132 J.Hud sounds lack a lot of control. She may have soul and you may feel it but technically speaking it wasn't that great. I'm not even a huge fan of Beyonce but it's clean her vocal is clear and strong here.
