No Poker Face?
I prefer LeAnn Rimes singing it, but Lady Gaga’s version was very well done and she certainly deserves credit in this instance.
The Lady was a true lady this time.
Bravo to her performance.
She did well. :)
Actually, she did a really good job.
Gaga did a fine job. But Whitney Houston singing the Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl set the standard that all others are measured by. IMHO
Yes.
I thought she did an extraordinary rendition. I felt chills and had tears in my eyes. It really touched me.
Well, well done!
I think she tried her best to do a good job, and I think she achieved her goal.
When the attendees tried to break in with applause, she put it in second gear and shut them down but quick.
Good effort...
She did, I watched it.
I don’t like Black Gospel versions, this is America not Africa. Gaga did swell. I’ll take our song straight.
She was fantastic. She puts her soul into it.
I loved her performance!!
When they called her name at first I cringed, but she was amazing.
It was very nice. I liked it!
My wife and me thought she did a beautiful job! It was a very nice touch when she finished with “God Bless America!”
The timing with the Blue Angels flyover was the icing on the cake!
I hate to break it to you, but black gospel is a pretty distinctly American genre.
When they called her name at first I cringed, but she was amazing.

Same reaction we had! :-D Glad she proved us wrong!
I agree that Whitney’s version was the best. However, I think that of all the ones since WH, I like Gaga’s the best. She actually has a good voice.
Her timing with the Blue Angels fly-over was perfect!
