      Many people here in Britain do not know the story of the flag in the Battle of Baltimore (1814) and how the Americans kept it flying all night throughout firebombing from the British Navy!
      This very gallant and moving episode adds a depth to match Whitney's passionate and beautiful delivery which alone is dynamic! The anthem is the finest and here is the finest delivery!

    On January 27th 1991, I saw this playing live while I was in labor with my first child at around 6pm. I gave birth at 8:36pm (approximately halftime, conveniently. Lol) I witnessed the faces of two STRONG WOMEN that night. Both of them were belting beautiful music......although one was more in key than the other! My daughter just turned 31 and I've yet to see our National Anthem sung ANY better!

  • @edwinjlr1345

    What's truly otherworldly about her voice is the amount of resonance she carries in her mid to upper belts. A lot of people can hit B4s and C5s like nothing, specially her contemporary divas but NONE, let me repeat, NONE have the same amount of full and perfect resonance as Whitney. It's not heady, it's not chesty, it's not throaty, it's not nasal, it's not twangy, it's not muffled, it's truly perfect.
    I cannot even imagine how many overtones and undertones she could hit at the same time to sing like that. It's honestly, frightening how NO ONE can do this. I believe that this is absolutely, not just about vocal prowess or training, but rather, something that she was born with. My brain is trying so hard to understand the amount of fullness in her belts, specially those B4 and C5, but every thought appears blank.
    Whitney's existence makes no sense. She's not the standard, she's the exception.
    Edit: You aren't lying. You aren't. I was trying to think of someone, but nope. The National Anthem sounds like a Whitney song in every sense of the word.
    Everyone else does karaoke.

    I'm on a Whitney Star Spangled kick the last few days. Just found you. It is so hard not to burst into tears listening to her and this. And it's not about this country or the song It is ALL about her. The audience reaction at the end says it all. Absolutely MAGNIFICENT. She even looked at one point, smiling, like she knew what she was giving them. Every single person that was there will NEVER forget that moment of their life. Whitney was a queen. A legend. A gift. I love her.

    Every morning, before I go to work, I play the video of Whitney's rendition of the National Anthem, with my hand over my heart, watching this beautiful lady put her talent and soul into the song; she seems a little nervous at the first, but then her smile starts to beam. and you can tell she loves the moment.. As she finishes so gloriously, both arms in the air, a tear will slide down my face...I'm an old lady now, but I was 30 when Whitney hit the music world...Lord, I miss her so.

  • @realagold6388

    At her best, no one-past, present, or future, will ever top Whitney in her prime. The purest, most beautiful voice ever on this planet.
    I’m so happy you did a reaction video for this song. So many people do a first-time-viewed reaction, but you are like me. Even though we’ve seen this (at least 300 times for me) before, my reaction is still like a first-timer. How can you not react to the most beautiful singing in the world? No matter how many times you’ve heard. This still gives me chills and makes me emotional.
    I was 10 when Whitney performed this song. I still remember Momma damn near running (like having the Holy Ghost in a Deep South Pentecostal church) saying “Nobody will ever top that” and my father laughing and laughing (because he never had the words for expression) just being mesmerized by what we’d heard.
    I’ll be 40 soon, and I still can not get over it.
    Again, so glad you stepped out of the box and didn’t have to hear this for the first time, or act like it was the first, but still made this reaction video.

    Only Whitney could turn a 100 year old song and make it a HIT!!

    OMG, You are the ONLY person I've EVER heard say that "The bombs bursting in Air was your favorite part" (instant goosebumps). I live for that part - rewind it at least 10 times lol. Literally chills every time I hear her sing Air (and sung it with a smile, too). The closet person that has come close to giving me that same chill on "Air" was Jazmine Sullivan. It was good, but no goosebumps. It just didn't HIT the way Whitney did it. I mean Whitney's vibrato, smh...she just nailed it. She definitely knew the assignment, lol. Salute to the queen! The greatest to ever do it!
    And you're right about something else...I'm so biased I don't want to even look at other anthems because I know it's not gonna come remotely close to this and 10/10 THEY NEVER DO! It's a few that's ok but she's undefeated and will remain till the end of time. PERIOD!

      @@ThatSingerReactions Friend I hear you loud and clear. Whitney’s vibrato is a whole force. I watched a guy on UA-cam do a vocal walkthrough with Whitney singing The National Anthem and it was spectacular and very informative. You should react to more Whitney singing live especially Whitney singing I Am Changing (it and audio clip no video in 1986 San Francisco it will blow you away) but start with this ua-cam.com/video/WPVXQdTZteY/v-deo.html
      She was so amazing and beautiful.

    That’s how EVERYONES National Anthem should be sung. I love how she’s having fun singing it. She’s smiling, she’s relaxed, she’s happy and NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SO PROUD TO BE SINGING HER NATIONAL ANTHEM. Also isn’t the orchestra great too. One of those career highlights for Whitney and the orchestra I’m sure. WONDERFUL, JUST WONDERFUL. I love listening to her sing this. 😊 👏👏👏👏👏

    That climax in “AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE the bombs bursting in AIRRRRR” shows the power and limitlessness of her voice. People love to say oh she didnt have as large as a range as mariah which is true but she was perfection with what she had. She didnt have to sing in the 6th and 7th octave to be effective her chest voice is where she shined. The clarity and tone was second to none. And how she sang with authority isnt something you cant be taught although im sure cissy got her together with that as she was training, But Whitney will forever be the standard.

    I wanted to say my previous comments were before I heard anything coming out of your mouth. Whitney was simply one of a kind. We are all poorer for her passing. She still is the target of every generation of singers that have, and will, come after her. I'm just glad we have these moments of brilliance left behind. So we can pause our flights of fancy thinking this singer or that new singer might.........no chance, no way, no how. Thanks again Brother for all you do to get these videos to us so we can slow our roll and refresh the TRUTH!!!! Much love and I do remember.
