What is your favorite rendition of the National Anthem? (1 Viewer)

With all the anthem talk, just curious as to what people's favorite rendition of the National Anthem has been? I'm sure people will put Roseanne Barr as a joke but I am being serious. I imagine Whitney Houston's version will win out. Mine is a toss-up between hers and Jennifer Hudson. That girl knocked it out of the park.

Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock... by a mile.

Somewhere between Whitney Houston...good gracious what a legendary voice, and Beyonce (the later being VERY ironic).

A lot of people don't know the origins of the song but I don't feel like that discussion right now, so

I think no one can beat Arnold McCuller's.

Still no one can compete with Whitney Houston.

Can't argue with that. I still have the cassette single of that which I believe charted.

Fan of Metallica but not a fan of guitar rendition in front of a huge event. Great in a back yard barbecue or gathering though.

For me, I like looking at the difference between Marvin Gaye’s performances from the 1968 World Series and the 1983 NBA All Star game.

Both great performances and about as different from each other as could possibly be coming from the same singer.
