Best Renditions of the Star Spangled Banner at a Sports Event by a Female Singer
This was a great rendition. I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to upcoming games in baseball, football, and even hockey. She is one of the best singers out there, and I can't wait. Maybe even the Super Bowl sometime soon - that would be extra great.
Jackie is a pure performer. She never overdoes it. She lets the song sing itself, and we get to participate in her performance! She is plain old thrilling! What a beautiful voice!
The only good thing about that game was Jackie and her melting-like-butter voice. I had to listen to it again after the game just to feel better after my team stunk up the place.
Hey, guys! This is a sing-along! That's how she sings it, and because of that, we get to think about the words - not some fracturing of the song's intent with grace notes that no one really wants to hear. Oh, and she happens to have the purest voice on the planet. No brag, just fact.

Young, vibrant Whitney at her very best.

The Newcomers
This national anthem, without a doubt, is the most memorable one. Her singing flowed amazingly, and she sang with a dead microphone. May this woman rest in peace.
Should be number one.
Jackie Evancho is the best because she doesn't try to make it into a pop song. She doesn't scream or yell the notes louder to be more impressive. She powers into her notes and sings them correctly. She does a two-second octave jump on the word "free" for emphasis without overdoing it.
Most importantly, she does not try to make it about her singing or talent. All other singers are there to impress people with how great they are as singers. Watch as Jackie finishes her singing of the National Anthem. She does not say "thank you," raise her arms, or even take a bow. She is there to lead the audience in the singing of a song that represents our country.
