Lady Gaga performs “The Star Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl 50 (February 7, 2016) Follow Lady Gaga: / ladygaga / ladygaga / ladygaga / ladygaga vevo.ly/U0XCSF
Gaga’s version is the best. I don’t give a hoot what those Whitney Houston fans have to say. This version is the best. Whitney does “didn’t we almost have it all”, the best live. Love that song.
I love her voice and it's taken me awhile to warm up to her lyrics. She writes amazing pop music and is so intelligent. This was shaky but I do like certain parts of it.
I watched this when she sang it live and I still come back and watch this periodically just because she did it better than anyone I’ve ever seen before!
Well that's ironic because I watched this when she sang it live and I still come back and watch this periodically just because she did it better than anyone I've ever seen beefore!
Wait did we just become new best friends?!LOL! That was a great performance.She can change the way she looks like no other.This look and sound at this stage she was Gorgeous and sounded incredible.She did it perfect too many performers can overdue this onerr! She had the wining Play Action Fake for the Superbowl Superbowl Songi If you are not entertained by that then l d
Honestly this is how the anthem should be done. Simple, compelling, Passionate. She didn’t oversing anything, she just got up there and belted it out for the country.
Best Super bowl performance is Gaga. Most appropriate style for the occasion and nailed it spectacularly. That's why even the incomparable Whitney Houston didn't win this one 🏉
I must have been living in a bubble and please excuse my ignorance. This is the first performance I ever saw from Lady Gaga. Before I just heard a lot of criticism about her dressing and how she was a Madonna wannabe. This performance just made me realize how foul the press can be. Up until today I still watch this video and tears come out of my eyes. It's so true that a book can't be judged by the cover. I opened the book and found many interesting chapters on Lady Gaga: with Tony Bennett when I immediately realized that she is not just any singer she is also a performer who tells the story through melodies with the timbre of her beautiful voice to make us feel what she is interpreting. No wonder my former classmate Steve Kortyka enjoys every performance with you. And when I heard "Shallow" you just knocked me off my feet. Definitely agree that Lady Gaga is the best artist of the last 20 years. Thank you for so much good music! Sending lots of love, positive energy, and blessings.
Shes like a more successful T-Pain, they can both belt out several notes that will leave you speechless, however, T-Pain relied too much on a device and Gaga too much on being sensational. She however, has earned every award. The greats new, Tony Benette knew, and singers of all caliber know. She's no joke.
The way she held out and timed the word "brave" until the Blue Angels flew over, that is a mastery that you cannot teach. That is a moment! This song is NOT EASY. The fact that she did such an amazing job is testament to her talent.
It's a great performance, no doubt about that. But it mostly takes great planning, preparation and incredible skill from the fighter pilots to fly over the stadium exactly at the right moment performing a procedure called 'time over target'. There's a great 5 min video on this where you get an insight from the perspective of the Blue Angels who performed this flyover: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Di6Qp3ANhr8.html.
The best rendition I have heard. I remember telling people she was going to kill it for that Super Bowl. Sad people thing she is “weird” and don’t realize she is one of the best vocalist of our generation.
I can't believe people are still saying "I didn't know gaga could sing like this" or "I never really liked her music but wow she can really sing"... where have you been. In the past year, she's performed amazing tributes to Sting, Stevie Wonder, Julie Andrews... toured with Tony Bennett... killed it with her cover of Imagine at the european games. and now this, a stunning performance of the national anthem. You must live under a rock at this point if you still don't know gaga can sing.
+heeteepee it's sort of understandable I'd Say. She is widely recognised globally for her pop dance songs, where she doesn't really truly display the true talent of her vocals. Her new manager has been very extraordinary in reshaping people's negative opinions about her.
It's so bittersweet to be a fan since day 1 in 2008, to have to listen to the general public talk so much shit about Gaga over the years, for them to turn around and suddenly be a fan of hers. Eat. Your. Heart. Out. So proud of how far you've come, Gaga.
+Chase L. exactly how I felt. I'm so proud of her and so happy for her that she got the recognition. And I'm also proud of all the little monster veterans who stick with talent + determination hahaha
@@Silagane It's because she performed this after CTC and before Joanne Era. Her Voice is used almost everyday from those years. Unlike in the inauguration, she didn't use her voice well when Chromatica Era started.
@@thefamemonster6957 I also realized that after commenting this hahah. Indeed, especially cause in 2020 i doubt she trained her voice that much. Love the name btw hahah
Say, can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming? And the rockets' red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
Google lady gaga tribute on youtube and the have hours of amazing live performances where she absolutely nails classics and doesnt take away the performance from the original writer/performer (even if they are dead lol).
If she wouldn't have played her career like she did.. she never would have been on this platform. As controversial and questionable as it was. She is a marketing genius. And now she is respected for her actual voice and not just what most people call raunchy videos. Well done Stefani! Well done!
hate how ppl compare her performance here to her rendition at the inauguration. it must have been nerve-wracking for her bc it's the fcking inauguration. And the cold weather is also a major factor. Her renditions at both events are pretty incredible. PERIOD.
@@gamerland5007 @Gamerland absolutely random Vietnam War flex but ok. If your trying to trigger people over an event that happened nearly 50 years ago. Probably longer then majority of comment sections lifetimes. That was a pretty sad attempt.
This blows me away every time I've watched it! She added just enough of her own style to the song without bastardizing it, no gobblelygook vocal calisthenics as has been done so often in the past. Pure class! ❤
the cold weather in the inauguration made it harder to sing. she did an amazing job in both tho, and she’s so brave she did it live not like almost everyone else
LISTEN EVERY DAY and it works wonders on my daily stress. I swear that one coach didn't blink once when she was singing! He was feeling the Gaga effect!
It's not just the vocals, it's the emotion thst really gets me. It's about so much more than just singing and Gaga put her heart and soul into it. After Whitney, she and Demi this year are my faves.
PERFECT PERFORMANCE. UNUSUAL voice and pitching notes -- nobody else like her. I'm glad the planes flew over with her voice -- which was unusual, as well. I love the childlike voice ... She is PURE, PERFECT, and I keep living because of her.
2015: everyone thought it would be the year of Taylor and ended up being Gaga. 2016: everyone thought this would be the year of Adele and Gaga continues to reign.
I listen to this rendition often and it always brings a tear to my eye. Tears of pride and honor to the Americans that have brought us so far from our origins. Thank you M'am for inspiring us all so brilliantly. As a veteran on Memorial Day I humbly thank you!
made me tears of joy when she start singing this song, Gaga knew exactly how this song needs to be sung. Clean. Clear. Simple. Just the voice and the audience. sending love Lady GAGA
Lady Gaga is a superb singer who understands the drama of music. I wouldn't put in all the ornamentation as I think it detracts from the song but her rendition is truly beautiful.
Possibly one of the best public performances of the song. No bells, no whistles, just a legitimate voice singing a well loved song, perfectly executed.
I remember watching this with family and friends and honestly was so blind to Lady Gaga's singing ability before this. I think most of us were, and a lot of us were talking and kind of not paying much attention at first when this came on during the game, then she starting singing and we all were sitting there in shock with our mouths open by how unbelievably amazing she was, this brought tears to my eyes and opened up my eyes to the shear talent of this woman. I've been a fan ever since. Performance is truly unforgettable.
Lady Gaga has the best performance, extremely clear speech, her voice literally singing with the music, and her voice sounds so good that it sounds as the best match for the anthem. If I listened to the anthem on a recording and if I had to choose which one is the 'original' this will be it!
*THIS* is what you get when the National Anthem is done by a truly _accomplished_ musician (Lady Gaga is not only a good singer but a good pianist, too).
Regardless of her political affiliations, their is no doubt she is the best female vocalist of the last 20 years, hands down. It’s not even close. It’s shocking how much better she is than so many of her so called “peers”. Shes’s just in a different league altogether. More like an entirely different spectrum that’s beyond comparison.
Take it from someone who has been playing guitar for 58+ years, who played out for 35 years, who had opportunity to engineer and produce in a 16-track studio in the '70s ... this lady is one of the most talented performers on the planet, and this performance is stellar, second to none.
Anyone who has ever said that Lady Gaga has no talent, please show them this video. It's one of hardest songs to sing. And she did it so smoothly. QUEEN!
I was not a fan of hers until I heard her do this at Super Bowl L. I came back here periodically to hear it again. So beautiful. The best version ever.
Man i love the different textures and layers in Lady Gaga's voice! She can sing so much more than just pop with a voice as gifted as hers. Truly incredible!!
i love how everything about her is so extraaa. her outfit, even the microphone. HAHA omg i must have watched her rendition many times over. i now notice even the smallest details!!!
