Whitney Houston sang the National Anthem over twenty years ago, and NO one, and I repeat NO one has come close to this performance, and NO one ever will. I don't know why people attempt to rewrite history, so Beyonce' Knowles good try, but your performance today at the Inauguration, was 'average' at best. Whitney Houston was a true President Obama supporter as the picture below illustrates. RIP
Only person that could turn this song into a top ten hit TWICE!! What a supernatural gift she had. Praise God.
ReplyDeleteWhitney, you are truly missed! Magnificent voice and version of the National Anthem!

Sorry Mai Ling sweetie, your ears must be asian CLEARLY you can't compare Beyonce's peformance to the great Whitney Houston's performance Whitney owns this song HANDS down. If you're under 20 I'll give you a pass, if not, snap out of it!!

BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVERY HEARD, IT REALLY TOUCHED ME
ReplyDeleteAnd this is the standard by which every one else who sings this song will be judged. This has been song in complete perfection
ReplyDeleteI love President Obama and when I listen to Whitney Houston sing this song, I'm proud to be an American. Look at the complete and utter joy with which she sings! She knows that she can do ANYTHING she wants with her voice and she is ecstatic to share this with the world. All these years later, she still floors me as I watch her put her very soul into this song. Bravo, Whitney!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an extraordinary performance, representative of the enormous talent of the young and soaring Whitney Houston of the time. She was proud to be an American and she made all of us proud that she was one of us - not black or white - just US. I will never forget this

ReplyDeleteA complete masterpiece from beginning to end, Whitney had us wrapped around her finger, and didn't matter the creed or color, all of us felt his presence in this moment, such a united front. She gave us hope with this performance.
