Whitney Houston Star Spangled Banner 1988

Whitney Houston had been singing the Star Spangled Banner before 1991. She also sang it at a basketball game in 1988 for Kareem Abdul Jamar’s retirement. Whitney had done a very good job even then but a fantastic job singing it in 1991.

Cissy Houston: Whitney Couldn't Lip - Synch

It never appeared to me that Whitney lip - synch singing the Star Spangled Banner. In chapter 10 of Cissy's book, Remembering Whitney, Cissy said that Whitney was like her. She couldn't lip - synch. Whitney couldn't keep time with a song unless she was really singing it, and at the Super Bowl, you could tell looking at her that she was singing the whole time. I believe Whitney's mom. It certainly did look as if Whitney was singing the whole time to me.

Cissy: When she hit that final note, and then the jets flew overhead, I can't imagine there was a dry eye in that stadium.

Lip Sync or Not Whitney Still the Best ( Star Spangled Banner)

Have you been hearing the news on Beyonce lip sync? I don't know why people make such a big deal out of the Star Spangled Banner. It is just a song. It is said that Beyonce used a pre-record to sing it. It's really no big deal, and Beyonce's performance was fine. The Star Spangled Banner is one song I will never sing if I were to become a singer.


 As I watched the news, they had to bring up Whitney Houston's name as they talked about Beyonce singing the Star Spangled Banner. It is said that Whitney did not actually sing the Star Spangled Banner as well. Lip Sync or Not, Whitney is still the best, and no one has ever sung it the way Whitney has done. If Whitney used a pre-record to perform, it was a beautiful pre-record. Why don't people just leave some things alone? Everybody loved Whitney's performance. So why don't we just leave it as it is?

Star Spangled Banner Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston performed the Star Spangled Banner song in 1991 before the Super Bowl. I had graduated from high school the year before. I still had dreams of being a singer, but that was a dream for me. While I was out of high school with no job, I had to think reality. 1991 was the year that I was just sitting around the house. The day that I saw Whitney singing the Star Spangled Banner on television was like a performance I had never heard before. The Star Spangled Banner was a song you had to sing right, and Whitney blew everybody away. My mother who was a critic said, "Gail, Whitney has made history now." Sure enough, Whitney did.

 When Whitney was through performing, I said, "Mama, if I ever become a singer, I'm not singing the Star Spangled Banner song. I'm going to write my own. People are too critical on how people sing the Star Spangled Banner, but no one can touch Whitney Houston."
