It was the PLAYERS' night to shine, and some of these artists just can't stand letting anybody else have that spotlight.

@@nancymcmonarch i mean she still did..

​@@deez7636 did the worst national anthem ever

is she??

@@MethSlothAmazing actually, it like she was possessed this day 😭

I liked it

@@susanshaffer3428 the opportunity for her talent to be showcased to this newer generation was missed by this performance. I did not like it.

@@jasminjasmin8484 very 😔

Is she even had rehearsals

@Trent Boone no, but as a caring human being; I would tell anyone when something isn't the best decision. 🤷🏽‍♀️ troll elsewhere my guy🤗

Michael Jackson: Sometimes giving vocal lessons or exhibit ones range is the ONLY way to spare many from BOREDOM...

@@SmartRobot-wc2fb It's a 3-minute song. I'm sure most rational adults would be more than willing to sit through 3 minutes of someone singing the anthem properly as opposed to 3 minutes of screaming and screeching like two back alley cats fighting over trash.

@@Ophelia11 She's not screaming and screeching...actually, I didn't watch her sing strictly live (acapella) so great in a while (which says she didn't mean to butcher the anthem whatsoever)... Look, you and most of the haters here commenting that only rarely pay attention to music, must realize that the anthem is something that was already performed to the core...if the organization invites different artists to perform it throughout the years is because it is expected some level of novelty and edge (otherwise it would merely reproduce 1 version every single year on every event...period)...So, if you guys ONLY want 1 (the same) version on every single event, please call ALL the organizations of ALL the sporting events and say so...otherwise you're only wasting several renowed artists with nothing more to prove time...and ultimately being disrespectful to them...If you only want Whitney Houston's patriotic traditional proper boring version, say it loud...NO ONE WILL DO IT LIKE HER EVER AGAIN (not even her, was she still alive)...so, why do you keep comparing the incomparable?!

@@SmartRobot-wc2fb Whitney's wasn't boring!!!

@@SmartRobot-wc2fb It's our countries national anthem. Why would we want a retarded pop artist to butcher it?

HDSAHAHDS YOU LOST ME AT DYING CATS XD

Strike the “refined chops” and “legendary voice”, and you’d be right.

BWAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!

No need...she has nothing to prove.

The accuracy of this post lol 😂

🎶 I’m every woman in every key🎶

Fr😂😂😂😂😂

Soooo true😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t think this was that much better than fergies

🤣🤣🤣

Nope. She doesn’t have a good voice. She’s made a living, amazingly, screaming through every song she’s ever done. Remarkable feat. Shows you what a bunch of musically ignorant morons her fans and the music industry are.

Hahshahha

They’ll top it next year

😂😂😂

Honeyyyyyyy

That's pure soul

Kevin Schwartz: In 10 years people are going to come here and say that her version wasn't that bad at all... Acapella?! Come on...how many singers dare to do that nowadays?!

Marvin Gaye

Kevin Schwartz lmaooo I hate you

OUT.OF.THE.BOX.ROBOT never

OUT.OF.THE.BOX.ROBOT dude it honestly wasn’t good; everyone agrees with it. Chaka Khan is an amazing singer but she overreached in this one.

@2conscious And YOU must be TONE DEAF because REGARDLESS of their friendship and REGARDLESS of history, that was one of the worst renditions of the National Anthem EVER! And speaking of history, why don't you google search 'Whitney Houston sings BEST National Anthem 1991 Super Bowl' and compare the two "friends." There is NO COMPARISON. Whitney Houston's rendition is STILL THE BEST OF ALL TIME! It will NEVER be topped. I still get goosebumps to this day when I watch Whitney's performance at that 1991 Super Bowl. Chaka Khan made me cringe.

@2conscious *plot twist I'm not a "white boy" But just the fact that you would bring up race shows how ignorant you are. Whitney Houston is STILL rolling over in her grave at Chaka Khan's performance AND at your ignorance. DEUCES!

@2conscious I agree with you...people have this NARROW mind about how should the american national anthem be sung which is wrong...as in any other piece of music you can have different interpretations...this is 1 of the most sung anthems of all time...why can't it be allowed different interpretations?

😂😂😂😂

Love that lmaoo

I hope by “properly” you mean make it not boring like Chaka accomplished!

Good luck with that. After listening to this and Fergie's performances of this song, I doubt they'll find singers suited well to sing Star Spangled Banner

Artica Kennedy u may movie to mexico

The best of signers have bad days too honey

Vol B This was definitely not a bad day, if anything it’s her best day lol

Exactly

She's proved she's about as talented a singer as Roseanne ... that is ... NOT!

She has a great voice she just has a stupid rendition

Whitney was insurpassable, but Whitney also lip synched her National Anthem

Yeah-inspired the nation to hit the mute button

Fr, even a 12 year old did better than this

@@sallygallagher7776 if it was lip synched, it was to her own recording so she still sang. It is undeniable that Whitney sang that song with her true voice.

I think at this point since it’s been done so often they’re trying to put a spin on it

Especially @ 1:21

lmao 💀😂

LMFAOOO

😭😂😂😂😂😂

oh my God HAHAHAHAHA

@@mushroomii4493 onb

☠️

No she said it like a mfr who came back to her hometown

Oh don't worry, we in Poland also have such a memorable national anthem fail xD

Shakira also had her epic fail with Colombian anthem 😂 but at least not as purposely intended like this kind of performance

I think the National Anthem is just a song you just don't f..k with. You sing it properly, but once again every artist uses the opportunity to showcase their questonable range.....and get their egos stroked, it all comes down to being very inconsiderate and disrespectful. Were they taught nothing at school? tut tut

the brasilian singer Vanusa was out of media and some deputies invited her to sing our National Anthem, now she's remembered in our recent history, and not for a good reason.

In the Philippines, there are specifics enforced in singing the National Anthem. It can be in any key, as long as it’s in duple, a la marcha, and the same melody. The Historical Institute became stricter just this past decade...

lmaooooooo

UNDERRATED COMMENT!!! This should be at the top

I read your comment. Then I clicked the time stamp. And I LOST IT

Aaaaaaaaaahahhhaahhaaaaaaa

NBA is already a meme Adam is making it worse

My guy, if you’re thinking that Silver handpicks these singers for the National Anthem every year, you are way too short sighted lol

vincent pham I don’t bro, I’m just saying

Fergie's performance was funny because it was just over the top and ridiculous, but this is just cringeworthy. She's a legendary singer, but this was just a mess

They wanted to laugh but were afraid that they may be stomped on on social media.

What time was that

Mj Summer watch the video silly

They didn't even wait for her to finish screaming.

You really don't have to like it. This is her style and her rendition. Believe me she knows the song. She couldn't have gone in the directions she did if she didn't.

Bye... Chaka is the Queen. Whitney would tell you that even after this performance.

Exactly

Agreed!!!

Just give it to us straight. All of the skee bop doo wop de bop screech is tooooooo much!

It's the All Star game not the Super Bowl just pick Joe from the church choir or something

I guess he wanted somone from Chicago..

Yes they should!

There ya' go! I luv Chaka Khan tho'!

Agreed. Whitney’s was the standard. I love Chaka but why can’t they get singers to just sing it normally? 😂😂

BECAUSE it's Chaka Khan what do u expect? she been doin' diz stuff on any song since tha 70's and 80's! respect our soul legends

But everyone who seems to go nowadays want to show off vocal skills instead of performing the anthem beautifully... because that was not beautiful. Neither was Fergie’s and on and on.

CHRISTMAS CAROL 😭😭😭😭

true

@@emma-mv2tn welcome to soul music, people like Chaka Khan was well known not to keep it simple lol
