Houston, Whitney - The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics
Oh, 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 streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Houston, Whitney The Star Spangled Banner Comments
Wow. ❤😭😙
Queen of lip sync she’s no Mariah Carey the greatest vocalist of all time
She did not rehearse this performance this was her first take. Such a tragedy loss
Will Billie Eilish sing this anthem for 2020 or next?
Rest in paradise
Marvin Gaye version was just as good if not better.
Wow it just came out it doesn’t even look like she tried
Wish I was at the minimum watching this. Unfortunately I gotta be stuck with these lame ass bitches SMH
Best in history.
Fun fact: This was not recorded nor did she lip synch. They wanted her to lip-synch but Whitney declined the suggestion and said she doesn't lip-synch.
she never fails to give me chills it’s all back to back
She’s not even trying
Original Man!
Bruh no one will do it as great as her this is the only time the star spangled banner gets sung so fantastic that it not only makes me cry but PROUD to be an American like the way she sings it makes my heart feel so much love n joy for the men n women who fight to keep our country safe like omg i came back to watch this again because ppl were saying Demi Lovato was better and it’s just not n it never will be like hers is 20,000leagues below this 😩
No puedo creer que a 5816 personas no les haya gustado como canto Whitney, seguramente son rusos o chinos hahaha
I can't believe that 5816 people didn't like the way Whitney sang, they're probably Russian or Chinese, hahahaha
So powerful WHATTTtxgdheh
@2:43 my favorite part! She just having fun. Lol 💕
I don't have a whole lot of faith in my country anymore.... but I must say, this is an absolutely _fantastic_ cover of the national anthem. Whitney's voice was truly god-like. :)
Still Epic.. Just beautiful especially because of how she was treated. 💓💕😘
The Best .No one can compare..
How to cry
ゆっくり、おやすみなさい。
One of the Greatest Live singing performances of any kind of all-time.
It looks like its from the movie
Never better, she was the FINEST.
no one can ever top this . NO ONE. RIP 👑 WHITNEY
She looked so incredibly happy belting the National Anthem. Like she just snorted a line kinda happy.
I am in tears!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dont do drugs kids!!
Einstein was so wrong the equation is WH= mc2
God bless America ❤🇺🇸🙏 #americathebeautiful
Shut you ass up fucker
Incredible rendition of the American anthem by Witney I’m not American but this was beautiful.
Who’s giving this a thumbs down? #weirdos
Whitney Houston singing the Star spangled banner is the best performance ever anybody ever tried to attempt it.
This woman had probably the most vocal talent of any singer of the 20th century, and that is saying something. I never loved her music like I did others, but her pipes were the highest of high quality.
*Best Rendition Ever, No Other Rendition Will Be Better Than This One ! I'm So Proud Of Queen Whitney* ❤
Hats off to the orchestra as well sheesh 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When the crowd goes wild before you have finished the damn song!!!! Only Whitney~ GOAT
Wow how is a note at 2:55 even possible. Great job. Gone too soon.
I don't see nobody sitting or kneeling. Amen.
The best ever❤️🌺
Demi did good but she will not compare to this stop trying to compare Demi to this
She had a voice of a goddess. R.i.p Whitney.
Just absolute perfection. I love how beaming with joy she is while singing, making it look so effortless. Man, that voice is pure power.
Me: tries to sing this
Not my voice:
When she sang she destroyed the stadium so that’s why it doesn’t exist any more
I’m not an American and I even feel patriotic.
Excellent voice. Whitney came to England back in the 80s not shall what year and went on a show called top of the pops she blew the roof off the place no one but Whitney sang live back then and her voice was flawless RIP Whitney and her daughter.
Still brings tears to my eyes
Beautiful
Voice is powerful
don’t get me wrong, demi lovato has an amazing voice, and i’m such a diehard fan of her, but nobody will ever beat this.
This performance of the national anthem was definitely .. other worldly .. yep, it was not of the this world.. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽...!!!! RIP NIP ❤️...!!!!
Damn Whitney 😢 We miss you girl🕊️ Nobody will ever top this 🇺🇸
Miss her so much! such a beautiful soul and a voice that can never and will never be matched for all of eternity. MRS. Houston you really were One in a million. RIP💛👑
The best ever.
Effortlessly....by far the BEST to EVER do it!
Shine bright in the sky. We miss you so much...
Beautiful!!! RIP Whitney!!! ❤
Queen. Forever.
There needs to be a mandatory moratorium on trying to ever top this version of the National Anthem. It will NEVER be topped so please everyone JUST. STOP. TRYING. Do your best and then have a seat. Okay? Thanks.
Sincerely,
The World.
And Demi lovato thinks she did good. 🤣 Whitney is what real raw talent is.
Mad respect, but I really love boyz 2 men’s national anthem
Wow! Yes!
Imagine if YouTube was a thing in ‘91 🤣 this would have like 10b views at least.
Illustration purposes only
No commitment to song or comparison contents, for creation's of unknown reasons, to my person.
People's with d h ( as you call it) should be aware of hidden contracts, behind word's, symbols and many other variants of agreement's.
Schools could be teaching such themes, before touching creation.
The first, goal is to be parallel, to creation.
Everyone knows that.
Effortless
Only ONE voice and this is it.
I mean Why did she die I mean why!!!
Still the best.
Why does she die I mean why!!!
Whitney’s performance, the orchestration, visuals and flyover may someday be topped. But it’s 2020 any nobody has so far come even close.
What a voice 🙏👌
Untouchable, no one will ever!
the fact that she’s singing it as if she’s singing the abcs . so easily, she’s doesn’t even have to try . LEGEND
Felt like I was watching a disney movie.
Such ease
Ah, the best
It’s 2020 and Whitney is still my #1 from beginning to end!
Best live "song" i've ever heard
No one will be beat this one. She’s unbeatable. Classic. Timeless. Effortless. Stunning. Beautiful.
Beautiful voice!! Just beautiful!!
Everything from the singing to the band playing
And the waving of the flag
This will never and I repeat never be matched or topped
the people disliked must be fergie's fans
is this a religious experience? i felt hopeful after watching this.
Undefeated
Born to sing 🎤
Born a legend
Born an inspiration
What a strong powerful voice! Rest in Peace Whitney you are history and left a legacy that goes on.
1.Whitney
2.Mariah
3.Jennifer
4.Beyonce
5.Ariana
6.Demi
Ariana and Demi is tied in my opinion 😏🤍
Wasn’t this recorded?
You guys all know that this was pre-recorded, right ?? ( I found out only last year. ) 😥
BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤ ( BUT, it was PRE-RECORDED. SO, I deduct 1 "Star". Lol ! )
Shed a tear, oh I wish she was here 😞😞
Mann!! I wasnt even born yet! I wish I was bortn that time to see this
She knocked that "Land of the free" out the damn park mane.
Do I see the confederate flag at 1:41 wtf ?
I cheated on my fiance with my own grandmother
The fuck
Her voice really does match how beautiful she is 😍
She is still undefeated!!! There will never be another!!! RIP Nippy!!
