Whitney Houston's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" has long been regarded as one of the greatest national anthem performances ever recorded. Now, one country music star is making the case that it's not just one of the best—it's the greatest of all time.
On July 4, John Rich, who is a member of the country music duo Big & Rich, took to X to share his thoughts on Houston's rendition of the song after it was shared by Congressman Wesley Hunt.
"Good God Almighty… Whitney Houston might have given the greatest performance of our National Anthem of ALL TIME! Take three minutes and watch this today. My goodness…Makes me wanna cry," Rich said.
The performance occurred at Super Bowl XXV back in 1991 in Tampa, Fla.
"I think it was a time when Americans needed to believe in our country," Houston said after the performance, according to People magazine. "I remember standing there and looking at all those people, and it was like I could see in their faces, the hopes and prayers and fears of the entire country."
Many fans agree with Rich's statement and find Houston's performance of the National Anthem extremely moving.
"Her gift was phenomenal! She makes you tear up. But it’s not just from singing… it’s from the happiness and being proud to be an American that you can see on her face as she’s singing.. that was her gift to us," one person replied in the comments section of Rich's post.
