The Star-Spangled Banner (As Performed At Super Bowl XLIII) - Single

Her rendition was as spectacular as young Whitney Houston's performance at Super Bowl whatever!

it sounds like she messed up when she was trying to say galiantly. ; )

I was so excited that itunes had this song available. The quality of the song is great. I use it at school during assemblies. The only issue I do have is not with the track itself, but with itunes. After I purchased the song, I had to purchase the song again to use it as a ringtone on my phone. I thought this was a rip off because if the track was purchased LEGALLY, itune users should be able to use the track as a ringtone on our phones. I am very disappointed with this feature of itunes.

....but she had recently lost several members of her family. My mother died a TIMELY and fully EXPECTED death after a long illness and a full life, and I still find myself often devastated and in tears ONE YEAR LATER!!!! Imagine losing your mother, brother, etc UNEXPECTEDLY, tragically, through murder! THIS is what I was thinking as I watched her being escorted onto the platform at that stadium. And I imagine that many, many of us were thinking the same thing. So it did not surprise me that she didn't greet us all with a big, bright, cheesy grin as she took that stage. What would've been going through my head if I was her? "Lord, don't let me collapse into tears until I'm done and out of public view! Just help me keep it together for these 2 minutes!" Now, the comparisons to Whitney. I have never been happier to hear that FINALLY someone has EARNED the right to be compared to perhaps the greatest performance of our National Anthem in the history of the Super Bowl!!!! And I can not and will not join this debate. Because I think both women deserve the top spot for equally extraordinary performances. I do have to say though that the orchestration of each was imaginative and creative. Whitney's made you want to say, "Yeah BABY, we're fu_king Americans. Don't F_CK with us!!!" Jennifer's made you want to say, "God, please watch over us all"

Definatley a Whitney Houston wanna be.

amazing

My wife loves it. Me-Why can't they just get the game started.(all sports)

I agree Whitney Huston's rendition was great, however, I didn't cry..just listened. But when Jennifer sings it, I have goose-bumps, I cry and to be perfectly honest, it made me love a song heard so often and sung by so many that screw it up.... ...... Yes now I love the Star-Spangled Banner. Thank you Jennifer! from a 72 year old fan

If this doesn't make you feel patriotic, I don't know what will. Or, just slow dance to it.

She sings the National Anthem with such class and strength. It is visible that she is buredened but i think she uses it and focused her emotions into her singing which made it that much better! :)
