It’s a horrid national anthem, but for once, this performance by Renee Fleming didn’t make my ears bleed. It needs to be a law that the Star Spangled Banner can ONLY be performed by classically trained OPERA singers. Period.
Very powerful, classy and dignified. The national anthem is not supposed to be sung like a pop song (Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, etc). It takes a classically trained opera soprano like Rene Fleming to sing it with clarity and succinct the original way it was meant to be. No interpretation or embellishments here. Just simplicity.
You Are No Authority about what is "supposed to" happen. Pop can still be dignified and respectful. Whitney Houston may not have been "classically" trained but I'm sure Renee Fleming knows how good THAT was.
There were So Too interpretations and embellishments here because It Is Not Written with the extra high notes, and even more relevantly it is written IN 3/4, but ever since Whitney, stadium performances tend to set it in 4/4 because THAT sounds more dignified (and is also easier for performers to hear&feel). This one VERY weirdly starts out in 4 but moves to 3 for the final chorus. When Whitney started this trend, she stayed in 4 for the whole thing.
Renee’s Kennedy Center Honors tribute sent me here! I’m not really an opera fan but I can’t believe she was the first opera singer to sing Star Spangled Banner at the Christmas Day of all Football Sundays! Brava
This was very classy. Whitney is my favorite singer and her version was one of my favorites...Rene...opera version is on point....I have added it to my favorite list...
My favorite version of our Anthem. Renee Fleming makes it look so easy- amazing Tessitura! If anyone 'took a knee' while she sang, I'm glad they didn't show it.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic to which it stands. One nation, Under God! Indivisible with Liberty, and Justice for all!!
Absolute BEST rendition of the National Anthem for a superbowl EVER. FINALLY we have someone to sing it nobly, correct, and with dignity. I am sick and tired of these woke divas that totally fuck up the words. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, Ms FLEMMING!!!!!!
Went and saw it today. Just one minor suggestion. ;-). Please include the subtitles on future productions. Some of us are getting exposed to your work for the first time. Beautiful voices.
What a God blessed instrument you have Renée. Grateful that I came across this video three years after you made it with Evgeny. This will linger on in my mind. Thank you.
