Whitney Houston
Three decades later, Houston's rendition is still the standard. Her version of the national anthem not only left the crowd in awe that day, but also peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's difficult to envision how any singer could top this anthem performance.
Beyonce
Before she took over halftime show duties in 2013, Beyonce belted out the national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII. The Houston native made her city proud with her simple, yet powerful delivery. That high note on "land of the free"? Damn.
Jennifer Hudson
Hudson set the stage for one of the most entertaining Super Bowls in recent memory. Standing at the center of a small, circular platform, she sent shockwaves throughout the stadium with her golden pipes. This may be the closest someone has come to touching Houston.
Aretha Franklin, Aaron Neville and Dr. John
The lineup here looked terrific on paper. Unfortunately, it was a case of more not necessarily being better. As seen above, the most memorable national anthem performances feature one singer with a simple setup. That rule should have applied with Franklin.
Christina Aguilera
No reasonable person would argue Aguilera has a weak voice. She sounded incredible at Super Bowl XLV. However, she botched the lyrics about 40 seconds in and later had to issue a statementon the infamous flub. "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through," Aguilera said.
Gladys Knight
One of the most well-known Super Bowl prop bets involves the length of the national anthem. Typically the clock stops once the performer ends with "brave." Yeah, about that... Chaos ensued when Knight sang "brave" twiceat Super Bowl LIII. Her first "brave" hit the under, but the second "brave" took her way over. Some sportsbooks paid both sides, while others stuck to the first "brave." Oh, and Knight's rendition was pretty good!
