I miss the old NFL, back when players stood for the anthem and were proud to be Americans.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I miss America, when people actually SALUTED our flag instead of SPITTING on it..when schools every morning recited the pledge of allegiance..that is the America I want back

[OttawaFreeper]

I also enjoy Lee Ann Rimes’ rendition of the song.

Beautiful rendition. Beautiful voice. Our anthem is great and when sung that powerfully it is magnificent.

One of many unusual facts about Whitney Houston, is that she was a small slim woman with a big strong voice.
Judy Garland was too, but she was only slim from taking drugs and being ordered to diet.

Jackie Evancho, who bravely sang at Donald Trump’s inaugural
is also small framed for now. Some experts say she sang demanding music too soon for her young rib cage to handle without risking damage.

Personally my favorite was when the military academy choirs sang the anthem.

The singing is beautiful, the way it should be done.

Hip-Hop Gangsta Culture killed Whitney, and will kill the NFL too.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Best ever. Can’t watch dry eyed.

Shows how far the NFL has fallen under Communist/leftist Goodell the Damned.

[MtnClimber]

Why isn’t the IRS doing a proctology exam on Goodell, the team owners and players?

[ealgeone]

The SSB actually was #1 on Billboard’s Top 40. No one would have dared take a knee then.

[exit82]

Still brings tears to my eyes.

How far we have fallen.

We must fix this.

Showboating disrespect should never be approved of. This isnt the worste but there is still no excuse for it. The national anthem is to be sung as written anything else is disrespect. My middle daughter is in a number of bands and is hired to do the national anthem, she has a great voice and can sing this powerfully. Ive made it perfectly clear that if she ever disrespected the anthem this way I would never take her to an event and most certainly wouldnt attend.

Disgusting.

Whitney Houston performing the National Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl is one of the best performances ever.”

It really was. I thought so as I watched it.

[murron]

If she was alive today, she would most probably take a knee.

[Vendome]

I Would have been her bodyguard...

[wjcsux]

Whitney’s singing of the National Anthem still brings me tears of joy. Such a remarkable performance.

...What the Super Bowl audience and hundreds of millions of TV viewers heard was lip-synched.

“The music was pre-recorded, and so was the vocal,” confirmed Rickey Minor, who was Houston’s musical director at the time.

Minor, now the band leader on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show,” said that in a crowd that large and loud, it was impossible for Houston to hear herself. Though she did sing, it was her pre-recorded voice that the audience heard...

It was a ready-made single for commercial release.
