Star Spangled Banner

Hey people

I think we can all agree that the worst ever performance of the Star Spangled Banner was by Roseanne Barr in 1990 but who in U're opinion has done the best?

And I'm talking vocally, so no Jimi. lol

I was thinking of her today, destroying that song shake

Today I saw our national anthem sung by some guys doing harmonies, cast of Jersey Boys (I think confuse ) They didn't sing "Australians all love ostriches" pout otherwise that would have been the best razz

It´s all personal opinion, there might be other singers that other people prefer but I like Marvin´s version the most.I also like how he changed the whole vibe of it.Made the national anthem funky. No easy feat.

Marvin at the All-Star game...that was sweet. And to me, Whitney Houston at the Super Bowl game. Those were the best two performances.

Just checked out Whitney and Marvin...

Whitney was good but 4 me, that song now belongs 2 Marvin Gaye. I'm not keen on the song per se and I'm a Brit but that performance literally gave me goosebumps.

He has a voice smoother than molten glass.
