Her rendition was astounding. I have never heard it sung so powerfully and beautifully. She sang it perfectly. She was an amazing talent.

I hate to be a naysayer, but I say nay. I can't stand the "urban yodeling" of our national anthem that's become the expectation since Whitney Houston so famously did it in '91. I like to hear people sing it the way it's supposed to be sung, without the yodeling. It's beautiful and moving enough, and all the modern embellishments add nothing to it.

That said, RIP Whitney.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Due to overwhelming response to her rendition, it was released as a commercial single and video of her performance, and reached the Top 20 on the US Hot 100, making her the only act to turn the national anthem into a pop hit of that magnitude. Houston donated all her share of the proceeds to the American Red Cross Gulf Crisis Fund.

Whitney Houston dead at forty-eight. That’s just a crying shame. RIP Whitney and thank you for the music.

Fantastic voice. From a time when pop music was good, and her music was a big part of it. RIP.
