[@melissamason7618]

Many people don't know this about Whitney Houston's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It was Whitney Houston herself insisted that the orchestra change the notes of the song. She wanted a gospel feel to the song, which means the song had to be slowed down. The allows her to sing and elongated the words. So. You not only hear every word clearly but you feel it, every word she sings. She got some push back from the orchestra because know one has ever asked that it be done this way. They were not sure off how this would work. However, Whitney pushed hard for this song to be structured this way. People accused her of lip singing. You will never find a gospel singer lip singing. They don't have to they have sang in the church choir for many years. They have proper training. Whitney Houston could stand there flat footed, barefoot and sing. If you ever listen to anyone else sing the Star Spangled Banner, you will notice the song, the musical notes is much faster. You don't hear each and every word annunciated. It's to fast. I bet you this is the first time you understood and heard each and every word of the Star Spangled Banner. There is a video of music producer Narda Michael Warren who worked with Whitney Houston on that rendition of the song explains just how Whitney Houston wanted the to sound and her push on the orchestra to for the first time in history change the structure of the song. Whitney Houston knew what she was doing.

Chills and tears for the Beauty and Art on display here. P.S. - Thanks for reacting to this, Blokes.

Here it is a year later and I came across this reaction again. Happy 4th of July to the three best Office Blokes!

Whitney Houston - BEST Version Ever!!! ♪♪

Best singer imo. Maybe not the greatest (or maybe she is) but she's definitely the best!

I'm from the same neighborhood. My elementary school is named after her. She was a wonder to be around. It was a privilege to meet her! Love from Essex county NJ.

As others have said, arguably the greatest rendition ever.
