My unpopular opinion… it ushered in an age of pop singing where many stylists emulate this kind of what I call Elmer-Fudd-sitting-on-a-blender vocalizing. Or like a record skipping on the same note for 30 seconds at a time. It has been said that if the Anthem takes longer than 45 seconds, the singer is making it about themselves and not about the song & Key’s lyrics. Totally agree with this. She had a great voice but I really don’t care for performances like this. 6 hours ago, UConn James said: I dunno. A lot of people say it was great.

If Whitney was so inspiring, why did the Giants go 9/16 on 3rd downs? As far as the war goes, as the great Bill Hicks said "a war is when TWO army's are fighting." The republican guard fought for at least an hour. Tell a fighter pilot that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great voice but way too over-the-top singing for me. I do like some of her hits from her first album pre-crack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan714 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not digging the pot shots at her by some. Agree with some previous posters. Beautiful woman, smile that could light up a room and her national anthem is the gold standard, goose bumps, hair on your arms standing up, eye watering rendition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 It's worth noting that Whitney Houston lip synched her rendition of the national anthem in 1991. She did not sing live. If you do the research on this, you'll see that's correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, Whitney’s version gives me chills every time. Hard to match the significance, her brilliance, and the hopes & dreams of Bills players, coaches, and fans that evening. If we all only knew what was ahead for us. I'm not sure what was better. Carl Lewis butchering the anthem or Charlie Steiner completely losing it and cracking up over it on SportsCenter.

Steptide Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Might the best ever, but it was pre recorded (or so ive heard) so that kinda takes a little away from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Lip synced or not, Whitney Houston had an amazing set of pipes. She was gone too soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Darragh Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The Star Spangled Banner was written in 3/4 time but Whitney sang it in 4/4 time which is a total fail. But her brother had a pretty good jump shot when he played for DePaul. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
