  • Beyonce sucks compared to Whitney and Mariah. I don't understand why ppl think she's such a great singer, she gets on my nerves...

  • All three have amazing vocal abilities,

    Whitney = Most power

    Beyonce = Best control IMO

    Mariah = Best range and tone

  • Oh please, they all three sang great. This is how its supposed to be done. This is the time to showcase skills and they did

  • QUEEN WHITNEY IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!! GREAT VOCAL POWER

  • whitney just keeps belting and beyonce keeps on shouting...the only one who is really singing is mariah!

  • beyonce is not a diva...not close

  • i love mariah a lot im a fan, and beyonce well shes hot but whitney the best

  • Really!!! Why are we even wasting our time to answer this. Who got an immediate cd put out after her performance, due to high demand. Who voice do you hear above all of them. Whitney by far. Whitney was the best singer to ever be recorded. Period!!!!!!!!

  • Sorry Whitney, just move... Time for Beyoncé ;D

  • MARIAH!!!!

  • Mariah & Beyonce !! ♥

  • WHITNEY HOUSTON .....DUH ........WHITNEY MAKES YOU WANT TO GO KICK SOME ENEMY BUTT......SHE MADE IT ABOUT AMERICA .....I love the other two but they made it more about their singing abilities !!! WHITNEY YOU WILL ALWAY'S ROCK LADY !!!

  • I love Mariah, she's one of my all-time favorite artists, and I really like Beyonce, but NO ONE could touch Whitney Houston vocally when she was at the top of her game, which she was at the 1991 Super Bowl. That is an incredible performance that I don't think will ever be surpassed.

  • BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB­BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB­BBBBBBBBBeyoncé is wonderfull

  • WHITNEY HOUSTON both my feet and my hands down !!!!

  • *DEAD* at peeps slagging off Whitney's EPIC rendition as shouting...Try Passionate..Overwhelming Pride...dignity and Mad respect for her country...The only singer to make it a top 20 hit and have it inducted in a museum as the greatest  SSB in history BOOM BAM POW!!!! ...wat u know bout dat?

  • @AdamLambertdominates You better preach! BOOM BAM POW! HAHAHAHA Whitney shouting?? Are we all watching the same video here? People just have bad taste. Not to say the others did a bad job, but it nothing in comparison to Whitney.

  • Take it from me... Mariah carey. .. Then beyonce... Whitney screamed too much...

  • I am going to say that Mariah and Beyonce were both good. They sing it to calm everyone. whitney was just shouting it. Mariah was singing like she was putting a baby to sleep. Beyonce was singing likes she was a pro. So i like Mariah and Beyonce.

  • Sorry but I think Whitney got it. Mariah added some soul.

  • Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaariah♥­♥♥

    Whitney

    Beyonce is not that good to be compared to two legends like Mariah and Whitney -.-

  • Love it

  • EMPRESS MISS WHITNEY IT/ X-FACTOR HOUSTON....No one before her no one after ...no one E.V.E.R.!!!!!

  • 1. whitney

    2. mariah (the Queen)

    Whitney did it better than the Queen in this particular case, but mariah is still the Queen. Did I forget to mention 0th place? Beyonce, no matter how much u promote ur "legend" status, your voice is just not that good.

  • Whitney - for the power, clarity and she just killed it.......She has a lot of gas in her tank.

    Mariah soley based on tht "Freeeeeeeeeee" Whistle....amazing

    Beyonce...well, it was like she stole bits and pieces of Whitney and Mariah...so Beyonce doesnt register.....

  • @ra1913m

    still whitney is da best

  • whitney

    mariah

    then that other singer

  • Witney

  • Beyonce aint even on whitney or mariah's level

  • BEYONCE ALL THE WAY! SO POWERFUL!!!

  • All are very talented and amazing but i have to go with Whitney

  • Oh my God. Where can you get a degree in Rock Music? Nowhere. Do you know why? Because Rock Music is not Music worthy of professional study. Rock Music is homemade music created by the folk for the folk. Yes it is fun and makes a lot of money but it is simple and not complex enough to deserve mention at any professional College or University in America or overseas.

  • MARIAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH... What u shoulda done at the end is whitneys final note, leading into beyones run, then when she hits the top note of hers, lead into mariahs huge key change and end it on mariah :) Now THATS teamwork :)

  • MARIAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH

  • I'd say Beyonce. Whitney loses points for dressing like she was doing an work out DVD and Mariah Carey makes every song she sings a couple minutes unnecessarily long.

  • Mariah just didn't put much feeling in to it, but she did use whistle xD!

    Beyoncé was a bit boring. It was an un-outstanding performance.

    Whitney was the most moved by her performance, and therefore was best.

    Whitney

    Mariah

    Beyoncé

  • I'm an Aussie, but Whitney's version made me wanna be American!! Whitney all the way.

  • Love Mariah But Im Gonna Go With Whitney's Verison.

    1. Whitney

    2. Mariah

    And 3. Wait...Why Is Beyonce Listed???

  • 1) WHITNEY

    2) Beyonce

    3) Mariah

    I love em all but its something bout whitneys grace and smile and style... so soulful! I loved it :)

  • mariah carey was , whats the word, radiant!

  • Lady B

  • 1.beyonce

    2.mariah

    3.whitney

  • BEYONCE BEE KILLIN IT !

  • Mariah and Beyonce have too much vibrato and too much yodeling. I don't like yodeling.

    Whitney wins. (Maybe Charice?)

  • They all are great singers and to preform our national anthem is not a light task to do as you can see if you mess up.... but Mariah killed it x 2 post 9/11 trumps everything for my generation. I cryed on mariahs part.

  • It's an insult to Whitney to even compare her to the other two. She killed it.

  • whitney duh.. but mariah stays killin the screamin notes... love it

  • whitney duh

  • First Whitney of course. Lipsynch or not, it's a classic. Second, my girl Beyoncé, the last notes were incredible. And then Mariah Carey, who is amazing too. 3 grate singers. Kudos for all of them.

  • mariah wasnt lip sync u can tell because she always smiles and try to look pretty right here she looks concentrated

  • whitney killed it. okay mariah do hit the higher notes(unbelievable)but whitney gave the songs more feeling. Her version gave me goosebums and i aint even Amercian.

    beyonce cant stand in the shadow of these 2 legends.

    1.Whitney

    2.Mariah

    3.Beyonce

  • Sorry but Whitney was the best. NO doubtt.

  • Hint, it's the one who sang her rendition in the time signature of 3/4, which is the way it's SUPPOSED to be. I don't know what the deal is with trying to perform this in a more square 4/4 time. Sorry, that sh*t sucks!

  • Lip-synching aside, let us compare these based on the singing. This is what Simon Cowell would say. You've got... Lady Liberty with a pipe made of Tungsten that reads "national anthem" smashing you on the head repeatedly. You've got a soft, warm hug, full of musicality and finesse, building, and saving power for the time when it NEEDS it. Lastly, you've got somewhere in the middle, but airing slightly on the side of the first.

    Guess my favorite, and least.

  • In my opinion Whitney & Beyonce put more passion in it then mariah because hers was nice though but you could tell by Whitney & Beyonces face they were

    singing it from the soul & mariah lip sync it :/

    1. Whitney Houston

    2. Beyonce Knowles

    3. Mariah Carey

  • OBVIOUSLY whitney and beyonce sang it on higher notes and it was very powerful and clear but i loved loved loved how mariah ended the song. i never have and never will compare theses three. each have their own strength. its like comparing blue to green or green to orange

  • Whenever y'all get through the BEST interpretation of this is the MARVIN GAYE one that man all by his damn self broke America smooth off and gave this song some much needed soul 'cause i get it,but how many times can you keep eating that lame ass vanilla...

  • @prints76 ummm what are you talkin about ?

  • Whitney all the way!!!

  • I the biggest fan of Mariah !!!!, but Whitney killed it. im sorry. its so obvious, listen to the notes DUH, SHE BARELY STRUGGLED

  • I the biggest fan of Mariah !!!!, but Whitney killed it. im sorry. its so obvious, listen to the notes DUH

  • Mariah is the best!!!

    She is the only one who made me shiver...

  • Mariah is the best!!!

  • mariah! mariah all life!

  • I think it just depends on which of them you like more as an artist. They all did a great job. For me though, it's Beyonce, Whitney and then Mariah. And really I'd have to say Beyonce and Whitney are tied for first...they make their incredible talent look easy.

  • beyonce no is diva :D

    WHITNEY HOUSTON IS THE BEST!!

  • beyonce

  • Mariaaaaah!

  • I cannot believe that this is even up for debate. Everybody in the world knows that nobody even comes close to Whitney when it comes to performing the national anthem. Damn, people, why would some of you come on here and make a fool of yourself and say that Mariah or Beyonce sang it better than Whitney. Y'all know that's not true. Keep it real.

  • Beyonce

    Whitney

    then Mariah

    I'm not a Mariah fan but she did her thang, Whitney...well wat can i say? it's Whitney, & Beyonce...you wouldn't expect any less than the best & thats what we got.x All of them are amazing though:)

  • @wkcjls same here

  • Beyoncé!

  • Marriah All They Way!! Gave Me The Chills!

  • Whitney.. Damn.. No lie I've watched a dozen.. NONE.. compares to hers.. She sang it wit sooo much passion it's like.. Idk.. Mah chills were even cheering lol..

  • Whitney

    Mariah

    Beyonce she copied whitney's version

  • @China6296 beyonce wass inspireing her

  • @01lilmama23 Leave me the fuck alone

    grammar check

  • Mariah was the best and the Hottest still :D

  • whitney sung the best to me not sayn she is a better singer then them because i can say personally vocally all three are equal but she sung star spankled banner so well

  • they all were great how can you say of them were bad! Beyonce, Whit, and Mariah are the best 3 of all National Anthem singers!

  • All of them sing beautiful ,but Whitney Houston is the best!!

  • all three

  • Whitney

    

  • i like Mariah's because she goes soft in the beginning then belts it out at the other half of the NA.

  • child Whitney all day. Whitney.

  • i would say all three of them

  • beyonce and whithney are amazing

  • beyonce is amazing.whithney is unque.

  • Damn At the end when they said "brave" They all started at the same time and beyonce had said it twice and mariah carey was still hold the note.

  • Yall Think Whitney Is the best because she has a Low voice and someone of yall think beyonce is the best because she also has Low voice but the truth is some of yall just picking whitney or beyonce cause yall dont like mariah! So who ever dont like mariah yall can Fuck off !! Mariah I think you did great dont listen to these HATERZ !! <3

  • Mariaah ; <3((:

    How She Sang " Freee " Was Tha BEST !

    Beyonce' Was Good Too(:

  • @Barbiee206 : relax, Mariah sang playback!

  • ok someone tell was that her voice at 4:37?? if it was than seriously amazing

  • @oj4913 yea it was

  • IM a Beyonce fan!! but i think they all did very well, but Whitney comes first

  • Whitney wins hands down. She takes the bull by the horns from the very start and doesn't let go. Hair-raising stuff.

  • Whitney was miming so she gets a zero.

    Carey is a nutcase.

    Beyonce blew them all away.

    And she didn't sing Brave in that weird flat voice.

  • @offrampt

    Whitney wasn't miming.. don't get confused by the fact this video is very slightly out of sync.

  • Whitney was great from beginning to end... just classic. I can listen to it over and over!

  • Whiteny, Beyonce, Mariah. Whitney's version is absolutely classic and the epitomy of how the song should be sung. Beyonce came in second and Mariah did a good job also.

  • BY FAR WHITNEY HOUSTON won this like Mariah's lacked any anything you barely heard her....Beyonce was good though but, C'mon now!

  • 1. Mariah

    2. Whitney

    3. Beyonce

    Mariah tore it up and as if it wasn't already obvious she it that obscenely high note

  • beyonce was the bomb...no questions asked!!! go BEYONCE!!!

  • I listened to Whitney's over and over and over. Mariah and Beyonce each once. oh do i miss Whitney. Kids Please please don't do drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HAVE YOU HEARD BEYONCE'S VERSION OF THE ANTHEM!!! THE ENDING GAVE ME THE CHILLS!!

    beyonce by faaar

  • MARIAH KILLED IT...

  • @jaypee415 Only good part about Mariah's was the high note....other than that it was kinda dull and unexciting

  • beyonce..but i like all of them

  • W.H.I.T.N.E.Y  H.O.U.S.T.O.N

  • Im the biggest Beyonce fan but I know whitney's was the best soo my order

    1.Whitney Houston

    2.Beyonce Knowles

    3.Mariah Carey

  • Whitney WON! Hands down!!! Mariah performance was tooo emotional. Beyonce was alright i guess... LOVED the orchestra. (=

  • @iluvSpectacular011 Mariahs was more emotion cause it was a few months after 9/11. Made since i guess.

  • MARIAH CAREY = BOMB DIGGITY!

  • Stupid Floptina

  • Whitney did her thing, Mariah did hers, and Beyonce took elements of both lol No hate here!

  • Mariah, Mariah, Mariah!!! but still, everyone has a preference. MARIAH!!!

  • Mariah, Mariah, Mariah!!!

  • Whitney............ Hate her or love her doesn't even matter she's the one that is and will be remembered for her version.

  • Mariah Carey by far!!!

  • WHITNEY- Beyonce will have to come in next and than Mariah...but they all were great!

  • Whitney lip synced it idk why because she def could have pulled it off with that voice.. but my fav is mariah & beyonce!

  • Not in even close...Whitney Houston by far the best...she gave chills when I heard it.

  • Not in even close...Whitney Houston by far the best

  • I think Christina Aguilera should have watched this video even though we all know it wouldn't have helped her...

  • these 3 are amazing for many different reasons...Whitney gets you emotional!! Mariah get you to listen to the music with her majestic voice... and Beyonce of course is amazing for bringing the soul and charisma to the songs that she sings. These eoman are all strong, amazing and have amazing voices and all are at the top of my list

  • whitney by far BUT these ladys are all amazing!!! jennifer hudson really should have been in there because other than whitney, jennifers vocals are sooo powerful and emotional!!!

  • WHITNEY-she sings it sooo effortlessly (did i spell that right?  lol) like shes a child in front of classmates reciting a poem, hand behind back. By far Whitney is the best and then comes my personal favorite singer Mariah Carey who also hits amazing notes when singing and well Beyonce is talented, okay, but not whitney or mariah.

  • WHITNEY-she sings it sooo effortless like shes a child in front of classmates reciting a poem, hand behind back. By far Whitney is the best and then comes my personal favorite singer Mariah Carey who also hits amazing notes when singing and well Beyonce is talented, okay, but not whitney or mariah.

  • MARIAH....simply perfect and angelic...only she could sing it like this. plus beyonce should not even be mentioned with mariah and whitney!!! eww i mean come on people!!!!

  • BEYONCE

  • AMAZING VID!!! 3 BEST NA PREFORMANCES... EVER!!! <3

  • i loved all three of them!

  • Whitney is the best. Nobidy can do it like her.

  • I prefer Mariahs. She killed me with that high note and the last note..OMG

  • a little pitchy their mariah, but sounded better dog by the end

  • I cry every time I hear Mariah's. Her voice strikes me in an indescribable way. Angelic. Whitney is a goddess. Her voice was like a soothing saxophone. Absolutely incredible. Beyonce was trying to pull off Whitney's style. It was boring until the 7:09-7:24, girlfriend MORE than proved herself to be up in the ranks of Mariah and Whitney. Those scales...INSANE!

  • When he compiled all the voices together Mariah's whistle and last belt was the loudest

  • All 3 were great but honestly Whitney's was the BEST & thats why she's the ONLY artist in history to make the National Anthem a hit on the Hot 100 Billboard chart!

  • I loved all performances, but Mariah always kills me...

  • They all sound beautiful to me

  • Whitney sang the song while Mariah whispered the song. And Beyonce looked cute.

  • Oh Chile you think Enrique's a great singer...Didn't Whitney vocally demolish his ass in their duet together? LOL...Out the window goes your opinion about knowing ANY kinda "truth".

  • @AdamLambertdominates Ok. You can talk about Mariah, but not Enrique. For real. Enrique is an international STAR! He is loved all around the world. And wow a girl can outsing a guy. That's not rare at all. Just because he's not on the same level as a female who probably had trained all her life, when he certainly did not, does not mean she's so much better than him. Please. Come up with some better material. (:

  • @dreamergirl627 And what's up with Chile? I'm from the U.S.! Get it right!

  • @dreamergirl627 Also, it was a collaboration, not a competition. Kthanxbye (:

  • @dreamergirl627 Chile get your head outta the clouds...Enrique is mighty fine..i'll give him that but he is NO Great singer PERIOD.

    And fyi Whitney was not vocally trained...All that musical prowess she has demonstrated stems from her gospel roots. Baby I don't do material...I deal with facts.!! If you want to avoid being the youtube clown I suggest you do the same.

  • @AdamLambertdominates Youtube clown? I'm not the one that trys to start an argument with someone because they stated their opinions over a video. Nice job! (:

  • @dreamergirl627 Chile Stop contradicting yourself...you are becoming more delirious with each comment. And yes if you make a statement that is BS expect repercussions. Fortunately for you metaphorically speaking you still have a leg left to walk away.

  • @AdamLambertdominates What the hell is up with the whole "Chile" thing. That's not my name. And like I said before, I'm from the United States! (: Oh and btw my statement was not BS. Whether you may think so or not really doesn't matter. You opinion wasn't needed or asked for. So, are you done?

  • @dreamergirl627 You're opinions are brain farts ..it's best if you kept them to yourself. And yes I'm through with that lame mind of yours.

  • @AdamLambertdominates Like I said. I could care less about what you thought about my opinions. And I'm sure my mind is way better than yours. Kthanxbye (:

  • How long are we gonna debate this? Anybody with ears knows damn well that nobody could outsing Whitney in her prime. NOBODY!!! And as far as the national anthem is concerned, Whitney's version sold over a million copies, was listed in the Smithsonian Institute as the greatest version ever recorded and was the only version to chart on billboard. Damn, we all know Whitney's version is the best. PERIOD!!!

  • younger people who are with the times and stuck in the last century! (:

    By the way, an opinion can't be wrong. Just like I never said yours or that other person's who I had this same discussion with- was. And who even says Epic Fail? That's kind of out of style already. (:

  • @dreamergirl627 and aren't** stuck in the times (grammatical error)

  • Whitney----

  • BY FAR !!!! WHITNEY WON !!!! The meaning in Whitneys version is like a flood of emotion, where as the other two (mariahs in partic) were fairly boring ..... if i was an American i would be proud, purely because of Whitney ! .... i know we in the UK have Leona now but she's not Whitney and no one will ever be!!! Whitney is the ALL TIME best, most magical AND AMAZING SINGER! She was basically the symbol of perfection at her peak, and is still the best!

  • Whitney the best !

  • each artist has there own style and sing the song how they felt. each diva are equally great to me!!!!

  • To me Jennifer Hudson comes in second behind Whitney and sang it better than both Mariah and Beyonce. Yes, and where is Christina's version?

  • Whitney is the best! I love Mariah's soaring vocals, but her interretationof the banner was kind of weird. Beyonce sounds lke she is trying to sing it the way Whitney did, but is struggling to reach the higher notes as Whitney effortlessly did.

  • Whitney..hands down. I don't care if it was prerecorded or not. =)

  • mariah sings this very weird and it shouldn't be her type it looks like she isn't putting much effort into it.

    whitney sings great but i thing beyonce sang the best, i mean BEST!!!!!!!!! BEyonce looks like she puts a lot of effort in it and makes it look easy.

  • Mariah just beasted this hands down! I absolutely love and respect Whitney and Beyonce but for this particular song, I think Mariah did the best job. Great job to all of them though because they each had their own part of the song that stood out very well. Great Job to all.

  • Cracked up, High and all,We Luv u Whitney! Performance was Phenomenal! She might of been high as hell and probably just got done lighting her pipe LMAO but the Bi#cH can SANG not sing....Whitney Houston hands down!! she's so above these people

  • @MIYA309 Whitney didn't get high like that until the late '90s. This is only 91, pre-Bobby Brown. so you are mistaken.

  • @aboverim DO YOU KNOW WHITNEY HOUSTON PERSONALLY? So how in the hell would you know when she started doing crack! It wasn't until her later years that she admitted getting high. For all we know she could of been doing crack on the low for 20 plus years and she probably ain't told nobody but GOD LMAO...but thats her business,so dear you must be mistaken.

  • @MIYA309 Everything you say is 'probably'. All your 'probably' talk shows that you don't know or care about her. She and others around her have CLEARLY stated in interviews her issues surrounding her drug use and behavioral changes after doing Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale. Seems like all you wanna do is joke at her expense, but it's not funny. You could try acting like an adult instead of taking offense to the truth. At least you have common sense when it comes to her singing, probably.

  • @aboverim I think not. If I took offense I wouldn't be "LMAO" at your comments. But like I said, you know her personally. People lie about *ISH all the time especially celebrities. Just as she lied about doing the ISH in many of her interviews on screen and off, she did DRUGS AND SHE CAN SANG HER ASS OFF lol. Everything else is not relevant.

  • @aboverim And as far as "all you wanna do is joke at her expense" BURRR! QUIT CRYING about the shit. She's one of the millions of drug users in America, because she has credentials doesn't make me more sympathetic. TRUTH!

  • I don't get it. I'm reading all these comments talking about how Whitney is so much better than Mariah and Beyonce. She's boring. Blah. Who cares? Whitney and Beyonce are wayyy better!

  • Beyonce and Mariah are the BEST! Seriously Whitney has a powerful voice and she's a legend but I honestly think Beyonce and Mariah not only have prettier voices, they are just more talented!

  • @dreamergirl627 You must be tone deaf if you honestly believe that Beyonce and Mariah can out-sing Whitney Houston on this song. Or any song.  Go see a doctor.

  • @aboverim Actually I judge talent really well considering I've been trained in music pretty much all my life. Thank you very much. Plus, I agree Whitney can sing BUT Mariah and Beyonce are wayyyyy more talented. Whitney can't hit the notes that Mariah can hit and Beyonce has a better voice period. Plus, they are generally better because they aren't crackheads (:

  • @dreamergirl627 Girl you better Quit! Know that your Bee or Mariah will NEVER be as phenominal as QUEEN WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!...Nobody else has made this a UNIVERSALLY RECOGNISED version other than Whitney...Your fave had their turn and FAILED...Whitney's version remains superior and most certainly unmatched...And know that WHITNEY IS THE MOST AWARDED FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL-TIME!!! Again your fave couldn't #GirlBye

  • @dreamergirl627 And one other thing you judge talent as well as forming an opinion...#EPIC FAIL!!!!

  • @AdamLambertdominates Are you serious? Do you know how famous Beyonce and Mariah still are?? Whitney will always be known, but you forget that Beyonce and Mariah are still out making hits and performing. Obviously they are talented. How are you going to say that Whitney is better because of the National Anthem? Please. I know for a fact she could do better than that performance and Mariah and Beyonce DID do better. And I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me. Particularly younger people who
