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.

Not to throw water on this, b/c the finished product sounded very good, but she lip synced that song to a previously recorded, edited, and polished track.

She had a wonderful voice, but I am annoyed every time I hear her version of the SSB. The song was written in 3/4 and that is how it ought to be sung. I don’t mind the embellishments, but hearing it sung in 4/4 just bugs me.
