If she had never sung another song, she'll always be remembered for this joyous, mind-blowing performance at the 1991 Super Bowl:

IMO, there is no one who could ever compare to that performance of our National Anthem.

It seems like the stars that burn the brightest burn for the shortest time. An amazing talent. RIP.

Here is an excellent piano cover of one of Whitney's hits - I guess my own tribute. frown

PS-this is a beautiful arrangement, and one that my kids' piano teacher also plays. I encourage you all to listen.

aw, I'm glad this thread exists on the ABF.

In a strange coincidence, I had just been watching the Genius Within: the inner life of Glenn Gould before i heard the news about Whitney. Sad day.

I usually dislike solo performances of the Star Spangled Banner, because I feel it takes away the feeling that this is our anthem, for all of us to sing.

But Whitney Houston's performance gave me goosebumps, and made me wholeheartedly glad she sang it that day. I've never heard a better rendition. Thank you for posting that, Trapper John.

Whitney, may you rest in peace and rise in glory.

Gorgeous voice, beautiful woman, and she just radiated happiness in that video.
What a loss.

Thank you for the posting. I remember seeing her performance that day and saying that I didn't think I'd ever hear it sung better in my lifetime. I never have.
RIP, Whitney.

Kyle is a very talented pianist. It's too bad. I was looking forward to listening.

Apparently he deleted and re-uploaded it. This should work:
