I joined the military in 2000 and there was a theater on base. Before every movie the would play the star spangled banner. And it was always ms. Houston's rendition. Peace from Downey Ca.
Yeah, this is the rendition that is front and center when I think of this song. Love watching younger people be "wowed" by music us older (not old, lol) folks listened to.
This stands as a testament to all African Americans who built the United States of America with blood, sweat, and tears, and even their lives, and yet were denied their place at the table - even to the extent of being ignored for their commitments to U.S. war efforts throughout hundreds of years. Whitney Houston clarifies that the national anthem was earned in no small part by the U.S.'s black population.
I have watched every reaction that I can find on this particular song with Whitney Houston because I LOVE this one and this one only, and looking looking for more reactions to this one...
Every now and then I stumble onto this video of Whitney performing the National Anthem and it takes my breath away every time. I miss her. Thank you Joy for reacting to this.
Timeless talented voice! And shout out to the symphony too and that arrangement. They had her back and came with it! Especially when it shifts to "whose bright stripes". Those strings backing her voice was amazing! Whew!
That was when America got patriotic again.. my dad was a Vietnam vet and retired in a military town. It was interesting to see how different military and their families went from thankless to heroes overnight.
Whitney´s voice was so incredible and she was so cute. Her last 10 years a tragedy and she died much too young. Her mother was one of the female background singers in 1969.
When Whitney Houston sang, "The National Anthem" and Ray Charles sang, "America The Beautiful", those were the only times I was proud to be an American. There are a few people that come along once in a while that has that unique singing voice. (Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, Jerry Butler, Lou Rawls, The Righteous Brothers and Al Green just to name a few.) She always brings tears to my eyes when she does this song. 😢 You did make me laugh with the hand over your heart and how fast you removed it with that look on your face. 😂🤣😅
"Wow" is universally the initial response which is apropos. Nothing else need be said. The bar was raised 30 years ago and hasn't been approached since...
My dad was medic, ww2, he would have tears if he would have heard this. You jumped from injoy life, your still my baby black sister, from your 64 year old white boy homey. I give you a song when I think er ready, peace.
Yes, she absolutely killed it; but it also had A LOT to do with the arrangement of the song. To see what I mean, watch this breakdown. ua-cam.com/video/zCBiTdFLuh8/v-deo.html
Let me see if I can get this correct, Ms. Whitney (R.I.P.) was singing, but what U & I heard was recorded earlier.. This was reported by someone in her family.. I thought is was Great.. ♠W.G.
When you do the research and look up the information on this performance you will note it was entirely lipsynced. She had pre-recorded it in the studio. When she came on the field the mic was turned off. I think she was the greatest female vocalist ever, but it's important to be honest about this performance.
30 years later, and still the best rendition ever. RIP Whitney♥
my favorite version is Marvin Gaye's but I agree that the best one might be Whitney's
YES IT ISSSSSSSSS!!
A national treasure singing a national treasure.
You’re right, she wasn’t nervous. She was confident and having fun! ♥️
I was a kid when she did this.. The US had just went to war and I was scared!!! She sang with pride and hope!!! This still makes me tear up😀😀😀
Whitney " The Voice" Houston was a beast before the term became a thing. Rest in Power Queen and still sorely missed.
I joined the military in 2000 and there was a theater on base. Before every movie the would play the star spangled banner. And it was always ms. Houston's rendition. Peace from Downey Ca.
Nobody, NOBODY… sang it better than her!!! She sang with such joy 🥰 I loved her so much ♥️🙏🏼♥️
People like Whitney. Come along once in a life time. Gone too soon RIP 🙏
your family is so right. no one will ever top her rendition, period.
That’s Ms. Whitney The Voice!!!🎤So much power and effortlessly!!🌹💕🕊
Rip Miss Whitney you are and forever will be GOAT..
Yes... Smiling while scalping every single note alongside every audience that listened in... Shes literally iconic.
The ability to change the chords is magical
Yeah, this is the rendition that is front and center when I think of this song. Love watching younger people be "wowed" by music us older (not old, lol) folks listened to.
My opinion this is still the greatest rendition of the anthem. It gives me chills everytime I hear it. RIP Whitney

Seriously? How is any African American denied a place at the table? Those days are long, long gone.
@@baileybowman2449 Yes seriously!

Ok again…goosebumps!
She banged that song outta the park! Glorious!
Nothing wrong with putting your hand on your heart … it’s more for HIS Glory than anyone else.

Nobody will ever touch her rendition here, ever. Back when our country was in a much better place
Love your personality. Your just a joy to watch n laugh too
Love your reactions
Thank you so much!😩❤️
Whitney´s voice was so incredible and she was so cute. Her last 10 years a tragedy and she died much too young. Her mother was one of the female background singers in 1969.
750,000,000 people were watching the Super Bowl that night.
A stunning performance ❤

You are hilarious and Whitney kills it.

Greatest Ever!!!
I love seeing youngins get schooled!!! Follow that
My dad was medic, ww2, he would have tears if he would have heard this. You jumped from injoy life, your still my baby black sister, from your 64 year old white boy homey. I give you a song when I think er ready, peace.
My mex brother Jose started a riot when he did his version, he said that was my gift to the country that gave his family a chance.!!!!!!
AWE!! You called me a cute little thing!! Well that just made my WEEK, you BEAUTIFUL SISTER!! Just subscribed cause I Love Your Vibe!!!!🙏😇🙏😇🙏
The only other rendition of this song I ever heard to come close to the perfection that is Whitney Huston, was Gladis Knight.
Emphasis on "proudly", "free" & "brave"... ❤️❤️❤️
This is the one time I'll tell you to 100% agree with your family. Their other opinions I'll leave for you to assess.
Hand on your heart? 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, she absolutely killed it; but it also had A LOT to do with the arrangement of the song. To see what I mean, watch this breakdown.

I think you should also react to Natalie Cole Version it is also spectacular...
Subscribed I’m gonna check out the other page also. :-)
Please send me a link to follow you.
She wasn’t of this galaxy.
Almost hard to believe she was a chain smoker, huh?😅
It was lip synced. Still great/
