 BEST- EVER VERSION OF ANTHEM Aug 06, 2006
This interpretation surpasses all others I have heard..not merely because of Whitney Houston's passionate rendition..but also because of the brilliant orchestration by John Clayton Jnr and the Florida Orchestra. Recording quality was patchy, but excusable at this outdoor venue.
One quibble: the disc cover states that the anthem music was
'public domain' suggesting it was from some unidentified folk
source. Actuially (and ironically) it was composed by an
Englishman, John Stafford Smith....1750-1836 and was originally titled Anacreon In Heaven (Source: The Oxford Companion \to Music).

voice of gold Jan 05, 2005
i have always loved whitney from the first time i saw her on the merv griffth show back in 83'. from that prefomace, it was evident that Whitney was destined to be a mega star.this preformance of the star spangled banner is incomprable. i have never hered the anthem sound so powerful and meaningful. when she sings she truly captivates the listiner. i truly hope that now whitney has overcome her troubles and can once again reclaim her rightfull place in music history along side aretha frankin as one of the best singers ever.

 Pop stars doing pop versions... Sep 19, 2004
They've never really listened to the words. Listen to Sandi Patty's version and...just listen.... to the words about our country, not about pop stars getting tv time.
