Jordin Sparks - National Anthem @ Superbowl XLII

[Rushybhoy]

am Irish but love Americans and their national anthem

[darrellmt]

This is the best version I've ever heard so far

[MOOSALINY]

THIS NOT LIP SYNCHED, NOT ALL ARTISTS ARE FAKE THESE DAYS, THIS GIRL CAN ACTUALLY BLOW

[twilightsaga245]

um W.O.W

[vodkaymenta]

nobody like whitney

[Chris201076]

Anyone else out there whos lip-synch detector just go off?

[SweetxBunny]

@Chris201076 seriously?

[Chris201076]

@SweetxBunny I knew that comment wouldn't be popular!

Yea...you can tell. Do you not think so? Lots of singers lipsynch star spangled banner. Probably because it's so hard to sing and theres so much pressure to get it perfect.

[TheStreetcred]

@Chris201076 it pains to admit this, but I agree; that was lip-synched. the voice wasn't organic at all. but hey, no shame coz Mariah and them have lip-synched the star-spangled banner in the past. Still a good performance.

[TheStreetcred]

@SweetxBunny this is Jordin Sparks singing the national anthem LIVE at an NBA game: watch?v=-nlzvRGTCAY You can tell just by hearing her shaky vibrato...

....But this is one for Superbowl XLII was definitely lip-synched. The sound is obviously not organic, and her vibrato is way too unnatural in this performance. But like Chris said, this is nothing new for artists, especially on big, nation/worldwide events like this.

[SweetxBunny]

@TheStreetcred Yeah I remember watching that on TV and I thought she sounded great. I was blown away then. Even if it was lip-synched this one, I can still appreciate it.

[prinston021]

She beasted it!

[l0gybogy]

One of the best to sing the National Anthem. She's second to beyonce. Love it Excellent job.

[antionidept]

she looked really nervous when she was walking on to sing. She explained on Tyra why. But I love how that made her so human and all. I love Jordin, and I'm so happy for all her success. Her singles have sold over 7 mill copies worldwide, and her album was recently certified platinum. You go girl!

[claira93]

TAHT WAS AMAZING

[Babybunny2796]

i &hearts; her voice!!!

[ThaliaPaige]

in my opinion, this is one of the best

[ericrburt]

One of the best performances of that song ever. Well at least that I know of...I guess I can't really say that for sure...

At least of all televised performances, that was top notch. At least tied with Whitney Houston's superbowl performance.

[ajstoh13]

wow..

that gave me the chills!

that was AWESOME!

[XxknockerzxX]

wow brilliantly done i loved it wow
