The Star Spangled Banner - From Super Bowl XXXVIII Reviews:
NICELY DONE BEYONCE...NEEDED A LITTLE MORE FINE-TUNING
2008-02-11 - While I would agree that Whitney's version of The Star Spangled Banner was one of the (not THE) best versions out there, I don't think that Beyonce's version was horrible: definitely unworthy of only 1 star. Beyonce has a totally different style than Whitney, et al., in my opinion. Anyway, I think that there have been some other fantastic (Star-Spangled Banner) performances that have been glossed over which need to be reviewed. I thought the following performances where magnificent: Pavarotti, Cher, Gladys, Aretha, LeAnn Rhymes, military man (forget name of performer--opera version)etc....Does anyone know if the following artists had sung the Star-Spangled Banner?: Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, Clay Aiken and any AI winners.

It Wasn't THAT bad...
2005-12-07 - I agree with Johnny: no one's ever going to be able to touch Whitney Houston's performance of "The Star Spangled Bannner". There are some who don't like it or feel that it can get better, but they are just deluding themselves. Now onto Beyonce's performance. It was more like a 3.9, than a 4...I watched the Superbowl when she sang it (the Pats won that year)so I know that she did it well and that the sustained high note on the "free" was secure, but I just can't remember how she sounded. They even replayed it on "Oprah" and I still can't remember. I know Beyonce has an amazing voice and she has very good control over it, but I'm thinking it could've at least been a bit more distinctive, otherwise it wouldn't have faded so easily...

Poorly Done!
2005-05-16 - Fist of that version of the national anthem was the pitts!
I mean all of those train and carrying on was ridiculous! First off no one will and ever sing the National Anthem like Whitney Houston! Beyonce did an alright job! People are making that up to be something its not!
Thank You for your time and consideration!!

Sincerly Yours,

Beyonce singing the "Star Spangled Banner" is breathtaking!!
2004-07-16 - When I heard the song, I was literally speechless! I can't even find words to describe just how beautiful it was. I mean, she really killed it, I don't know if anyone could follow the way she did it. With her strong and beautiful voice, she really brought the song to life all over again.
