  • I can listen to this song everyday before work and still get chills and pumped up everytime.

  • Damn she was good like if u agree

  • R.I.P Whitney Houston

  • Wow!!

  • Elbow is right

  • if by "HD", you meant 10 pixels.

  • I got the chills twice. And that never happens. lol

  • In addition to an amazing rendition of the anthem, this video shows a pretty awesome display of American patriotism. The day this was recorded, the US was in the middle of the Gulf War, and support for the country was very high. Pretty cool to see all the proud Americans in the audience waving their flags.

  • Woo Wee! I got the chills too. Ms. Whitney Houston, "The VOICE", will be missed!

  • One word: Perfect! She nailed dis!! No one will EVER top singing the National Anthem like Ms.Whintey Elizabeth Houston...you go gurl!!! Your TRUE fans will MISS YOU

  • lyk dis if u cry everytim ):

  • @enzie1991 I cry every time I see someone spell words like you just did

  • Has anyone ever heard this done better (LIVE)? I've never heard this sung more beautifully.

  • truly an inspiration. I will always love you, Whitney!

  • After watching this I suddenly have a craving to smoke crack.

  • ****** THE BAR IS SET!!!! AND NO ONE NO ONE NO ONE NO ONE Can touch this!

  • i love how down to earth she is with her clothing. A very genuine girl. With the Lord now

  • I am crying. So. So. Good.

  • Wow Whitney is AMAZING. But this MultiJFletch guy just won't let go of all this crap he's holding against her won't he? You sound really ridiculous as you say things like "dead crack addict" and everyone who comments is against you.

  • So sad that she died. Rest in peace sweetie and peace to the friends, family, and all affected

    Beautiful voice

  • After watching failed/botched renditions from the likes of Roseann Barr(most disrespectful ever), Michael Bolton, Carl Lewis, Steven Tyler, Christina Aguilera (the worst of all time period) watching Whitney Houston do it puts her in a class by herself. Scale of 1-10, she's a 100. Simply the Greatest!!

  • A** PERFORMANCE BRAVO ... every year i see celebs singing this and no1 has ever made me feel chills down my spine except for Whitney Houston and this was 21 years ago,

    Whitney A**

    J huderson A

    Beyonce B

  • @multijfletch Are you trying to coin a catchphrase or something?

  • Rest in peace whitney houston <3 yu will b missed

  • Heres a 'finger' for ALL the Haters....and if u respond then u know who u r....lmao....Whitney never claimed 'perfection'....but she sang at that level !!!

    And p.s : ppl that live in glass houses should'nt throw stones !!!!

  • flawless voice

  • R.I.P Whitney Elizabeth Houston August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012

  • crack addict or not .. she has an AMAZING voice! if you cant admit / giver her that .. theres something wrong w YOU! Rest in Paradise Whitney <3

  • If you looked up to or admired a crack addict there is something wrong with you. What the fuck is wrong with people?

  • jeeezus best national anthem ive ever heard

  • More than 20 years later, her rendition still gives me goosebumps. Great job, Whitney! May she rest in peace....

  • She was singing from the soul!!!

  • 66 dislikes? For real?.... please, get a life! THIS IS AMAZING, what a voice!

  • NO 1 CAN TOP THIS STAR NATIONAL ANTHEM ...... NOBODY

  • i got the chills. and i cried.

  • im not sure if thats really "stunning HD!"

  • God truly blessed her with the greatest voice in the whole world.

  • NO ONE does it like Whitney.

  • Such a fabulous singer and she was gorgeous rip we love u Whitney

  • For all the naysayers and haters on here making nasty comments--didn't anyone ever tell you that if you can't say anything nice about someone don't say it at all? If not--here's the LESSON----take note!!! RIP Whitney---singing with the angels--- now and forever!!!

  • Oh, Whitney. You will rest in our hearts forever. We love you. Rest in Peace. <3

  • "AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE!!!" Nobody...I mean nobody - sung, sang, or will be singing this...like this.

  • Makes you wanna go out and kill a russian. Doesn't it?

  • @arbiterskiss LOL!!!!

  • WOW, thats all I gotta say is WOW...such a gift.

  • She slightly resembles a young Iman, here.

  • For the great Whitney has given us over time, it is sad to even speak of the negative that has taken place in her life. She will always be remembered as a great person in my eyes. Great hearts are hard to find and she had a great heart and was a wonderful person. Let her shine over our heads as she has/will always be Whitney Houston the great singer/person/mom/friend. 1 Luv - World Famous DJ Mike Swain

  • The best to ever record it. Bar none. NOT possible to do it any better. RIP.

  • On that day, on that occasion Whitney Houston sang the best and most remarkable version of National Anthem ever done period. Bless her heart it was her gift to all of us.

  • @3610s56 I totally agree with you----and it will NEVER EVER be sang that way again!!!

  • And that is how you sing the star spangled banner everyone. R.I.P. Whitney

  • ffgdfdddg

  • Impresionante, espectacular y bestial.

    Y admirable el patriotismo del pueblo americano. Que envidia.

  • aint nobody singing that song like that again..not for a million years.

  • "Wide Right!!!"

    

  • She sounds amazing and she did it with out lights, dancing etc. Its pure, honest and raw. She isn't lip synching with the size of the stadium there is an echo affect. She had an amazing voice.

  • This version puts anything else to shame. Powerful voice full of nuances. RIP from Spain

  • katsweet13 is a dyke bitch.

    This is pure lip synching

  • katsweet13 is a dyke bitch.

    This is lip synchinh.

  • catsweet13 is a dyke bitch.

    This is lip syching

  • What would be even cooler is, when she finished the anthem, the song "America, fuck yeah" starts... R.I.P. Whitney (:

  • Chills

  • ¡¡PODEROSA VOZ QUE INNEGABLEMENTE TUVO!! I LOVE HER

  • only hers and chers really touched me both amazing

  • Comment removed

  • To those who could not believe that she could sing the way she sang it in Super Bowl, we gladly encourage you to check her innumerable live performances on YouTube.

  • Please check the other video where she sang the National Anthem in Norfolk. You will be able to appreciate the fact that she sang this song in the livest of performance.

  • lip sync...marc anthony is real winner :)))

  • This is pure soul. Pure American spirit.

  • The greatest national anthem ever followed by one of the greatest super bowls ever.

  • Well, Whitney was nicknamed "The Voice" for a reason and this rendition proved her status.

  • Wow!

    

  • She did it so effortlessly because she was lip synching.

    This was recorded in a studio before the game.

    This is not a true live performance.

  • @coolbeans1970 you are a jack ass. and to be serious for a moment, even if this was pre-recorded, which it wasn't, it would still be a hell of a lot better than anyone on the face of this god damn planet could ever do. yes, she threw her life away and her struggle was tragic, but that girl could fucking sing. end of story.

  • Comment removed

  • @katsweet13 frist u watch marc anthony rendition then u talk

  • It is not one of the best! IT IS THE BEST!

  • She won a gold medal in singing.

  • I thinks it's funny how Whitney is dressed like she's getting a medal at the olympics and these days people are dressed for the grammy's or something. She looks great without trying and sounds even better. Flawless.

  • um beyonce SIT DOWN SOME WHERE!!!!! that is all:D

  • 65 dislikes? Probably not Americans, Can't help but be proud when you hear that if your a TRUE American! We rule and so did Whitney!

  • Breath Taking...RIP

  • 64 dislikes?? I hope they all fall down a flight of stairs!

  • @sboston79 That's it, tiger. Go get em'!!! I read your comment and burst out laughing. You think like I do. Is there something wrong with us? Are we brain-damaged? What's that old Amish saying?  "The whole world is weird except me and thee. And I sometimes even doubt thee". Thanks for posting.

  • @sboston79 Cause people who aren't addicted to drugs don't think dead crack addicts are good representative of America you think we should die? You are seriously fucked up in the head kid.

  • @MultiJfletch The crack is up your ass because your head is in there!! Perhaps your head would get in the right place if you actually tried some drugs..

  • @3610s56 So now you are promotting drugs? I can tell you are a real winner boy. Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch Yes, I'm promoting the right drug, so in your case Prozac might be a good choice. Tee hee hee :-)

  • @3610s56 Sorry, I don't promote dead crack addicts like you. I guess we differ in that way boy. I like how you copied my Tee hee ;-) thing. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Glad I can make an impact on your sad little life kid. Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch Wow. So, decades of amazing, incredible singing, a laundry list of chart-topping hits, and all you see is a "dead crack addict". Wow you're ignorant. I'm gonna take a big guess and say you're a spoiled white teenager living in a middle-class neighborhood.

  • @kristenssn Nope, not even close, I'm a lower class guy in his mid twenties who is currently in the military. I've learned growing up you can be the most successful person ever, but if you are addicted to drugs, you shouldn't be a role model for anyone. I definitely don't want my kids looking up to a crack addict no matter how successful they are do you, kid? Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch I hate to break your bubble but Whitney Huston died from taking a prescription medication and drinking alcohol, NOT FROM DOING CRACK.. Whitney was a singer/entertainer and she was, and never will be a role model. By the way you are my junior,and to me you are just a kid, I'm 67 years old! Give show some respect to the dead Son and to your elders.

  • @3610s56 Yes, but it is well known she was addicted to crack, hate to burst your bubble kid. "she was, and never will be a role model"? Man you're so full of shit you even contradict yourself boy. Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch So who are your role model's ? l

  • @3610s56 Don't share info about my personal life with creepy little kids on the internet. I'll tell you I don't look up to crack addicts as role models though, that's just weird. Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch I did not ask you about your personal life soldier. Your the expect on your opinion, tell us who is a good role model? Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch Sorry for the (typo) screw up there soldier, it was supposed to say "she was NOT and never will be a role model" Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

    not

  • @MultiJfletch Unlike you Fletch, I don't need to watch professional wrestling to expand my vocabulary. It's called getting an education and being smart enough to avoid military service. I'm nobody's pawn.

  • @ElGorcho Being smart enough to avoid military service? So everyone who joins the military isn't as smart as you in your little mind? I got a degree at Stanford and am an officer in the military. I joined to serve my country that I love. It's sad you think soldiers aren't smart enough to get educations. You really are a sad excuse for a little boy aren't you kid. Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • @MultiJfletch Here's the thing, how exactly do you go to Stanford, become an officer and qualify as part of the lower class? Sounds like you're a sad excuse for a lying douchebag.

  • @ElGorcho I was part of the lower class growing up kid. Got into Stanford cause I got good grades in high school and got good scholarships. Then I joined the military to serve my country and not just use it like little pussies like you do, boy. Pretty simple stuff if you think about it and don't just assume someone's lying. I'm sure you're to stupid to realize that though kid. Try again, Junior. Tee hee. ;-)

  • That was...Fanominal. By far the best sung National Anthem I have ever heard. That is the way it should sound. No frilly voice of special high notes. That was just...wow amazing. A+ for Whitney Houston

  • By far the best version of the Star Spangled Banner EVER! I'm more of a 90's Alternative Rock kind of guy, but no one can deny how much of a legend Whitney is, I hope she finds peace where ever she is now. Also, to the poster of the video petethegolfer, 360 resolution isn't High Definition, it isn't even Standard Definition (480 is Standard Definition) please don't insult us viewers and Whitney's legacy, we're not idiots.

  • .No Body Can Touch Her !

  • Amazing! I've never heard the National Anthem sung soo beautifully and effortlessly. By far the best! RIP

  • Bigger tragedy for me was that the Bills lost. My Aunt was at this game

  • God has shown us that there are meracues. One of the many we have been blessed with has just been taken back. A gift from god shouldn't be taken for granted. Us as humans can not be expected to be perfect. As we all know of her misgivings ask your self if you could Handel the microscope she has been under. So I thank God that I had the chance to be a whiteness I new as Whitney Huston. Whitney if you could, when you get to Heaven, let God know I said thank you!

  • @MultiJfletch read my comment again instead of just jumping to conclusions i said i didnt really like her but i liked this performance when did i say i liked this performance after she died? Your to stuck up and snotty about people discovering her music after she died like you knew her personally or something it sickins me how you just judge people and downgrade them because their just noticing her music like its a crime she would want people to enjoy her music young or old everyone would

  • And THATS how the national athem should be sung !!!!! R.I.P. Whitney Houston <3 USA!!! USA!!! USA!! USA!! USA!!!

  • Just WOW nothing else can be said!

  • ~grown man crying~ salutes

  • shes not dead...shes at my house. we're smoking some wicked weed

  • Nobody song the national anthem better then Whitney Houston R.I.P .

  • Auto-Tune can't replicate that, fellas.

  • So what if you can't replicate it, you can still destroy it with cocaine.

    Problem?

  • Good!

  • we all return to our creator in the end, no matter what things we've done - both good an bad Ms. Whitney has truely poured out her very soul through the gift of music as she's stated times before, ....she is, the soundtrack of a generation, an unmatched talent, human, an resting in peace, she is, an will allwayz be Ms. Whitney Elizabeth Houston.....

  • @Tallnfine Do you know this as a fact? Like are you the savior? Have you died and been resseurected and then ascended to heaven and now have been reincarnated to save mankind? All hail, our lord Jebus!!!!

  • NO one has done this better !!!

  • R.I.P WHITNEY HOUSTON YOU WILL BE MISSED.

  • @Poisonousnut your mother must be real proud of giving birth to a no good waste of skin. sonds like everyone thats talking bad about this woman is mad they didn't have the money or fame like she did. Get of youtube and do something with your life maybe you can die next

  • @deannabrandy211 What exactly did she accomplish with her life? She ended up pretty much bankrupt, her daughter is a drug addict and rumor has it she didn't have the courage to live in her own skin. Let's not make her out to be more than she was. She had a beautiful voice, but the crashed and burned and brought her daughter down with her. Hardly somebody I'd want to put on a pedestal or somebody that I would want to deify. It's sickening how quickly make martyrs out of dead celebrities.

  • an this what i thought at 5 years old! !!! #TrueStory

  • i been new the 1st time.i saw this that she speacial no one will ever sang that anthem parellel to her

  • she had her problems but this performance is the best that i've ever heard.

    r.i.p. whitney houston  god needed you in his army.

  • All praice the Queen, he who picks her oallen wrobe is her heire. I for one cant weare that burdoun nor delightl A QUEEN has fallen from the skiee's embrace her as your own and listen to thy heart, there she will be the biggest of them all. R.I.P. my Queen. Thy weary sword rest a peace,.. R.I.P.

  • Lip synced or not who has ever sung the song better. Of all the artist that have lip synced it prior or after who could compare. No one

  • @poisonousnut Hey doucher, your totally right, people only like "this song" because shes dead. Yep no one like the national anthem until whitney houston died. In case you cant tell, this is sarcasmnd youre clearly not the brightest crayon in the box

  • This looks like this was on NBC.

  • I was disappointed to learn a few days ago that she had pre-recorded this and was only lip synching. Still, she did a darned convincing job of it, and the emotion she put into the recording came through just as well.

  • @Zeppolino100 she wasn't lyp sycing.............she also did it again for you non believers

  • If that was HD then I need a new monitor lol

  • What a mountain of talent this woman had. Legalize drugs.

  • not HD -_-

  • Hair raising! I grew an afro listening to this. RIP Mrs. Houston

  • This is lip synched, look it up

  • No one ever did the star spangel banner like she did

  • effortless, and yet still sang with soul and beauty i miss this women! we took advantage of her presence RIP Whitney

  • Rest in peace, Whitney. Your life was an open book, however, in the midst of turmoil you remembered God. There is nothing you could have done that would have ever taken God's love away from you. I think that we all need to remember that no one is perfect, however, God loves us warts and all. Thank you, Whitney, for sharing with us your beautiful God given voice.

  • She was so good. The more I look her up, the more I miss her. :-(

  • the best ive ever heard! R.I.P. Ms. Houston! We will always love you!

  • You racist, spineless, cowards that will sit here in front of a piece of glass and plastic and judge and persecute people, with your none perfect butt's, will be judged and persecuted too, believe that. But this video ain't even about you, you just want some attention!!! So people please ignore the ignorant and give respect and love to this beautiful, talented women that was born and died as a child of God!!!! Rest in Peace "Queen Whitney Houston"

  • This an amazing rendition of our national anthem but it was absolutely recorded in the studio. Ricky Minor worked with her on it

  • @jt3151 Then I blame Minor for ruining this rendition with Yo Yo Ma's pointless strings. They add nothing, if this was done a cappella, with just her and her soaring voice, it would've been truly sublime. Because frankly that's all that's needed to send shivers down my spine, her beautiful voice.

  • Comment removed

  • Effortless.

  • i wish america still had that pride

  • @we3kids I kNow dude

  • @we3kids I wish America took a look at what we really are and stop following blind nationalism, like we are God's gift to the world and that we can do no wrong.

  • Not God's gift to the world, eh? This nation has fought more, won more, lost more and given away more to help the downtrodden and oppressed than any other nation in the world, ever. Bite us in the ass? It sure has, because it's true, "No good deed ever goes unpunished". WE should stay home, feed our own, take care of our own, protect our shores, and let everyone else fix their own problems. We will be a lot better off. But I suppose you'd complain about that, too?

  • @scifirobb Oh yes, and propping up foreign dictators, dethroning democratically elected leaders, giving arms to terrorists are also a part of those good deeds that do not go unpunished. You see if all we did was help the downtrodden and the oppressed then I could see the validity of argument, but the term 'blowback' is usually not used in reference to "humanitarian" acts, it's used for acts that the we the US have become unfortunately synonymous (torture, infringing on soverignty rights etc.)

  • @scifirobb We American's like to view the world in terms of black and white, good and evil and we assume that we are always the 'good guys', the men in the white hate, when in reality that's nothing but a figment of our American superiority complex.

  • @ElGorcho the white hat

  • whitney houston can finally be able to rest.

    the whole world will remember her songs forever.

    and her voice will remain etched in our hearts.

    we love you whitney.

    rest in peace. :)

  • @tippytoedbeauty Well I'd like to think she's resting, she is in a casket in the ground isn't she?

  • Best. Rendition. Ever.

  • What a loss R.I.P Whitney

  • when I listen to this, I forget about all the problems in America, and I feel an incredible amount of patriotism, its just amazing...

  • @IKickedDoug Yes, but patriotic about what exactly? Blind nationalism? Ya that's never come back to bite our country in the ass.

  • WOW! There was so much joy bursting out of her as she sang that song! WOW!!! So many singers after her were just up there trying to show of their own talents (remarkable as many of them were) however Whitney's performance is evidence of her incredible spirit, as lost as it was, and her stunning and divine gift of voice.

  • Brilliant!

    While death is a part of life, it doesn't hurt any less and losing Whit like we did hurts so bad.

    I hope she's resting easy now...she worked hard while she was here and I THANK her for it.

  • The hardest song in the world to sing live and it's almost too EASY for her, lol.

    R.I.P Ms. Houston, you were peerless!
