this was even better than the superbowl...

[@jsngaruiya]

True, but for superbowl she sang into a dead mike while her recording was played.

[@musicislyfe1672]

⁠she was singing but we at home were hearing the recording

[@FlimFlamFloom]

She made it look so easy. THIS is talent.

[@zhanariffin1170]

I was so lucky living in the era of Whitney..the greatest singer of all time...

Absolutely agree . The one and only Nippy ❤

[@Scott_22]

That shift at 2:00 into free is SPECTACULAR. When she hits that with perfect clarity and pitch, it literally goes through my soul. Can’t describe it any other way

[@Boredmillenial]

Talent like this had never existed before and will never exist again! She truly was one of one!

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Specifically like hers, no. There was only one Whitney.

[@kizmetlogistics421]

Who else but the one true "voice" could make our national anthem a massive radio hit and have all the proceeds go to help great causes? I miss hearing her voice! We all got to experience the only "Whitney" that we will see in our lifetime, what a privilege it was and is. Thank you Whitney for all you did to make the world a better place while you were here with us.

[@irish6795]

Well said ❤

[@mikulitsi1819]

Even if the Super Bowl performance was not live singing, this shows that she still sang it the best in live. Unbelievable voice

[@katinaharris2083]

it was live thats what she did this rendition on this special because of all the naysayers, how he superbowl play live didn't hav live performances, smh

[@JazzieRose]

Whitney Houston was a vocal prodigy and her voice is the platinum standard of what all female vocalists should be. Whitney's rendition of the star spangled banner is noted by critics as being the definitive version of the national anthem in the 200+ year history of the song.

[@christopheryune]

i was stationed at Cherry Point, NC that time. shit, she is no longer with us, no one is going to replace her.

For all the critics of her Super Bowl performance, be quiet.

[@trippingandbrowsing1269]

Only the most mediocre of people try and criticize her singing, let's be real here.

STILL give me chills😮 this and the Super Bowl performance still gives me chills even 33 years later and she’s passed away! And I still don’t care that she might’ve lip-synch the Super Bowl performance. It was still a dynamite performance. They just didn’t want to take a chance on a live broadcast.

[@Yumpostchannel]

Exactly. The entirety of this song is...dark.

[@metrosoul1]

Amazing

[@likesmusic11]

Ineffable!

[@rhemy1]

I feel like this is better than the Super Bowl. This has abit more Whitney. The superbowl was a bit more sterilized. Probably because it was a one shot recording whereas this is the opening for an entire night of singing.

[@terasus4]

The super bowl is more sterilized because it was pre-recorded. And even though it was gorgeous and epic, here she is singing live so you get her real emotion at that very moment. She is fantastic

[@jonathonroque]

Vocal legend 😊

Better the superbowl prerecorded version so underrated this rendition

[@신레지스탕스]

바비브라운 개만도 못한새끼만 아니였어도 .....난 아직 살아있는 그녀의 목소리를 들을수 있었는데.........10년전에 도 20년 전에도 30년 전에도 들었던 이게 항상 가슴속에 남아있네요.....국가는 다르지만...... 그대는 나의 마음속에 살아있습니다.

[@kirkklaus5791]

She turned into a god during the superbowl.

Is that an R&B song?
