stevestojan Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Yep, probably a lot of drugs involved but still the best rendition of the nation anthem I've ever heard. RIP.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Yep, probably a lot of drugs involved but still the best rendition of the nation anthem I've ever heard. RIP. Wow ,I`m 53 scary
UConn James Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Wow ,I`m 53 scary Age doesn't have much to do with it. When a person does heavy drugs like that for so long.... Official COD may not be drugs, but without a doubt, they played a big part b/c they just ravage your body.
bbb Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 2nd time in 9 months or whatever that my first reaction is !@#$ - there was so much friggin talent - what a waste!
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Crack is Wack Yeah. Whitney and Amy Winehouse will be having a hell of a time in the afterlife.
jimmy10 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 She did sing the hell out of the anthem that night. It's an incredibly hard song to sing well, and she just blew it out of the water. I was just 13 at the time, but after a certain missed kick, it's my lasting memory of that night.
truth on hold Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Still best anthem ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llFZT6CTXz8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
KD in CA Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 1329013321[/url]' post='2381841']Still best anthem ever Meh. That performance inspired a generation of less talented woman to copy the same over-done style, usually with disastrous results.
Mark Vader Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Sad, but maybe not that big of a surprise. What is amazing is that no matter how many people or celebrities die from drugs, there are still people out there that want to continue to get high or get wasted on drugs. Ignorance is bliss.
Just Jack Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Meh. That performance inspired a generation of less talented woman to copy the same over-done style, usually with disastrous results. Whitney has just one thing to say to those trying to copy her.......
tomdayfan Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Her rendition of the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV is still the gold standard. Sorry, should have checked Off The Wall first
truth on hold Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Meh. That performance inspired a generation of less talented woman to copy the same over-done style, usually with disastrous results. And because no one has been able to match her performance that cheapens it? ummm, kind of messed up logic there. Id say that supports it as being the gold standard
Big Turk Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Her rendition of the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV is still the gold standard. Sorry, should have checked Off The Wall first I agree, I still remember that moment like it was yesterday...her singing the National anthem better than I have ever heard it sung before or since with her red, white and blue on and then the thunderous ovation and the shots of players and people in the stands with tears streaming down their cheeks, followed by a thunderous fly over by the fighter jets... Honestly brings chills to my spine just thinking of it...
John in Jax Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 What terrible news. Yes, her life was virtually destroyed by drugs, thanks in big part to her hooking up with Bobby Brown, but I thought she got past that, and was on the way back up. Certainly she was one of the best voices EVER in the music industry. Those who know far more than I are saying so tonight too. In songs like "I will Always Love You" and "Saving All my Love for You", her voice/talent was just INCREDIBLE. And yeah, that StarSB performance in Tampa was awesome.
CowgirlsFan Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I agree, I still remember that moment like it was yesterday...her singing the National anthem better than I have ever heard it sung before or since with her red, white and blue on and then the thunderous ovation and the shots of players and people in the stands with tears streaming down their cheeks, followed by a thunderous fly over by the fighter jets... Same here for me too! I may be wrong but I believe this was the first Super Bowl after 9-11. I thought Kelly Clarkson came as close as anyone else had to matching Whitney's performance that day. I had hoped one day she would've sung it again.
BillsWatch Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 She was one of my favorite singers and watched The Bodyguard multiple times to listen to her sing. Rest in Peace.
