The Star Spangled Banner is America's National Anthem and also one of the most difficult songs to sing in a live setting. Many of Pop music's heavyweights have attempted to perform this composition and failed miserably. However, a select few have been blessed with the skill and the pipes necessary to conquer this song and make their mark in the history books. On that note, turn up your speakers, get to your feet and enjoy the show!

Sep 25, 2008 - The best ones were definitely marvin gaye and cher.Only because marvin was the most orginial cause almost everyone started belting around the bursting in air part but he did it very jazzy. Hearing a deep contralto voice is very rare and her voice was extremly beauitiful I felt so much emotion.Mariahs was good but it could have been better without the whistle cause she had to pause a second after the note was finished

Sep 26, 2008 - She did look wonderful in it

Sep 26, 2008 - They all have beautiful voices! Makes me wanna belt out the song despite my terrible singing. FYI: Mariah Carey's whistle at that Nascar performance earned her an award from the Guiness Book of World Records for the record for the highest note hit by a human in 2003.
Jillipino Says:
Sep 26, 2008 - (G7#)
eternalsilverlight Says:
Sep 26, 2008 - WOAH YOUR INFO IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYY off.The person who hit the highest note ever is georgia brown who hit a g10. Georgia on a normal can whistle in the 8th octave mariah has never gone that far
eternalsilverlight Says:

Jillipino Says:
Sep 29, 2008 - that's incredible how u guys can name the notes they sing. but anyways, my source was Mariah's bio on imdb. com, so maybe u can be the one to report on their website's incorrect information.

muscadom Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - oh.my,my! after listening to whitney's rendition,other singers sang it helplessly. no one come close to whitney!National anthem should be sing with energy,power and soulful.Not jazzy,choir or whatsoever. sorry,this is only my personal opinion.
