1. Yeah, my Dad liked her

[monmouth4]

2. She was the best since Whitney. Beautiful rendition..n/t

10. Whitney lip synced. Gaga sang live.

I think hat makes Gaga's the best ever, at least for now.

19. Cissy Houston Denies Whitney Lip Synced

I figure you do not trust Cissy Houston since she is Whitney's mom. However, Cissy Houston claims the NFL told Whitney she could lip sync if she wanted to, but Whitney told them she wanted to sing the song live.

20. Every source Ive found incluing Whitneys music director for the national anthem

at the super bowl admits that she lip synced. I think Cissy is just being defensive.

3. I live only for the day

when someone will sing "Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave" in one breath

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. It's too tempting to show off.

[Sophiegirl]

14. I can..

Can't say it sounds very good (probably not), but I grew up an instrumental player and breath control is key.

[antigop]

18. I know quite a few people who can do that. We have an opera singer in our family with lots of

opera friends.

Yes, breath control is the key.

4. Well done for an elementary school assembly.

She's lip synching to a studio recording -- an NFL requirement. And that's the best piano player they could find?

8. Do you have a link

Showing where the NFL "requires" lip-syncing? Performance seems live to me.

9. In 1991, rumors abounded about Whitney Houston's anthem being lip-synched

But it was Garth Brooks who made it "official" two years later:

11. Xtina sang live and forgot the words. Youre wrong. Gaga sang live. nm

12. Sang along with a guide vocal coming into her ear into a dead microphone, more likely.

13. No thats Whitney Houston, not Gaga. Gaga sang it live, just like the Oscars. nm

6. Unique

Kind of slid to notes in the first half

[AtomicKitten]

15. Damn that girl can sing.

[Marty McGraw]

16. I think she was much better in the Early 80's

and especially her live performance at the US festival!

What a Live Presence! and such Talent!

[rocktivity]

17. She sounds different, too

her new nose?

21. Josh Groban

Did a beautiful job too. But I give Lady Gaga the edge in this. She was outstanding!

[JamieLeaks]

22. Gaga did a great job but not as good as

Whitney Houston. And, yes, I believe Whitney did sing it to a vocal track and Gaga probably did too.
