Who sang the National Anthem the best? And who sang it the worst?

35 comments

1. Whitney Houston best, Roseanne Barr worst. Next question

2. Probably whitney houston sang it the best. Rosanne Barr for the worst

3. Whitney Houston and also T-pain were both great. Roseanne butchered it.

4. Whitney Houston is the best. The worst is Fergie because she actually tried. People are saying Rosanne but that was expected.

5. [Marvin Gaye at the 83 NBA All Star Game](https://youtu.be/RZ9WdCunvy8)

6. It’s been butchered so many times that it’s hard to single out a worst. It’s a very difficult song to sing

7. Best: Whitney Houston
   Worst: Enrico Pallazzo

8. Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Lady Gaga, George Jones, Jack Black

9. Chris Stapleton and Whitney Houston best

   Fergie and Roseanne Barr worst

10. Chris Stapleton did it best IMO

11. The best was not sung with words but a guitar. Jimi Hendrix stirs my soul with it. And the subversive inclusion of TAPS….. Forget about it. Nothing can compare.

12. Whitney Houston best.

    Fergie worst – and most hilarious

13. Fergie was the worst. but I’m convinced she did it as a protest🤣

14. Hendrix

    Best by far

    No question

    If you haven’t seen that then you need to do better.

15. Whitney Houston for best (and while he didn’t sing it we need to pay respects to Hendrix’s version) and I’d say Fergie for worst.

    There are worse versions of the anthem but the difference is Fergie actually tried and it was still that bad.

16. Whitney Houston’s Super Bowl national anthem rendition should be the final recording of what the song is and how it should be sung.

    Alicia Keys also did a beautiful version in 201(2?).

17. Not sure who sang it the worst but Whitney Houston’s was the best

18. Best??

    • Whitney Houston
    • Chris Stapleton
    • Lady Gaga
    • Jimi Hendrix.

    Worst??

    I’m sure everyone will say Roseanne Barr or Fergi. They both sucked.

    But, they just made headlines. I’m sure that there are plenty of B celebs who sucked while promoting whatever project they made to boost their career.

19. Jack Black, Meatloaf- best

20. Whitney is the best.

    Fergie is worse than Rosanne Barr because she’s a professional singer who thought she was crushing.

21. Best- Marvin Gaye and WH

    Worst- Carl Lewis

    Fergie is odd. It was bad in a good way. If that makes sense. After she was done I wanted a Cigarette and some Bourbon.

22. [Carl Lewis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW4qLBLPVMs) did the worst national anthem of all time.

    [Steve Tyler](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WonWovud9Cg) also deserves an honorable mention (was there for this one).

23. The worst? FERGIEEEEEEEE

24. Jim Cornelison

25. Whitney Houston but Leslie Neilson is a very close second.

26. Am I the only person that liked the way Roseanne sang it?

27. Linda Ronstadt at Dodger Stadium for the ’78 WS. was best. Worst? Who was the one who forgot the lyrics?

28. As a classically trained American cellist…best; Lady Gaga. (And not because of G Flat Major.)

    Worst; most of my family.

29. Whitney Houston sang it the best.

    Rosanne Barr sang it the worst.

30. All time best – the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston, 1991 Super Bowl, Tampa Stadium.❤

    Also home of Mac Dill Air Force Base – home of CENTCOM, it was during Persian Gulf War, and home of the fantastic Gen Norman Schwarzkopf.🇺🇸

    It doesn’t get any more awesome and patriotic than that!🇺🇸❤

31. For best, I’m going with a recent one. Chris Stapleton killed the national anthem at the Super Bowl this year!

    For worst, yeah….. it’s gotta be Fergie like everyone else is saying. I was appalled when I saw it

32. Rosanne Barr was the worst.

33. I really like the Stapleton version. Don’t remember the worst as it’s been mangled quite a bit.

34. I came to the comments just to read fergie’s name next to “worst” lol

35. It’s pretty much agreed upon that Rossane Barr was by far the worst, but it’s debatable who sang it best because there are so many talented voices who have sang it throughout the years.
