She went from ''six time grammy winner'' to ''eleven time grammy winner'' in just 4 years, wow

Gaga knew exactly how this song needs to be sung. Clean. Clear. Simple. Just the voice and the audience.

This isn't just vocal masterclass. This is a vocal doctorate class. Lady Gaga is insane for pulling off this truly live performance.

I still think this is the best and most beautiful rendition of this song ever sung at the Super Bowl

Pure gold, pure legend.

Honestly this is how the anthem should be done. Simple, compelling, Passionate. She didn’t oversing anything, she just got up there and belted it out for the country.

The way she held out and timed the word "brave" until the Blue Angels flew over, that is a mastery that you cannot teach. That is a moment! This song is NOT EASY. The fact that she did such an amazing job is testament to her talent.

Whitney would be proud. You can hear Whitney’s vocal influence in lady gaga’s belting ❤

I got goosebumped listening to this and I'm not even American, shiiit!

2016 - National Anthem 2017 - Halftime show

Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga delivered the two best renditions of this song. Gives me chills every time.

coming back after hearing ingrid anndress sing hers

You are a great voice and a BIG LEGEND Gaga!

2016 - National Anthem 2017 - Halftime Show 2018 - Playing in a team

I did not realize just how strong her voice was until I heard her sing this. OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!

I watched this when she sang it live and I still come back and watch this periodically just because she did it better than anyone I’ve ever seen before!

I can't believe people are still saying "I didn't know gaga could sing like this" or "I never really liked her music but wow she can really sing"... where have you been. In the past year, she's performed amazing tributes to Sting, Stevie Wonder, Julie Andrews... toured with Tony Bennett... killed it with her cover of Imagine at the european games. and now this, a stunning performance of the national anthem. You must live under a rock at this point if you still don't know gaga can sing.

If she wouldn't have played her career like she did.. she never would have been on this platform. As controversial and questionable as it was. She is a marketing genius. And now she is respected for her actual voice and not just what most people call raunchy videos. Well done Stefani! Well done!

She definitely surprised me with this performance, didn’t know she had this good of a voice

Unpopular opinion: She sounds way better here than she did at the inauguration.

This performance got me in tears, idk im not even from USA.

Damn, I'm not American but even I felt patriotic!

I must have been living in a bubble and please excuse my ignorance. This is the first performance I ever saw from Lady Gaga. Before I just heard a lot of criticism about her dressing and how she was a Madonna wannabe. This performance just made me realize how foul the press can be. Up until today I still watch this video and tears come out of my eyes. It's so true that a book can't be judged by the cover. I opened the book and found many interesting chapters on Lady Gaga: with Tony Bennett when I immediately realized that she is not just any singer she is also a performer who tells the story through melodies with the timbre of her beautiful voice to make us feel what she is interpreting. No wonder my former classmate Steve Kortyka enjoys every performance with you. And when I heard "Shallow" you just knocked me off my feet. Definitely agree that Lady Gaga is the best artist of the last 20 years. Thank you for so much good music! Sending lots of love, positive energy, and blessings.

No one! No one has laid it down that beautifully before or since. Many have torn it up with excessive overture, but this was truly amazing.

The most underrated part of this performance is her ability to keep the song going until the fly over

Finally someone in this decade with talent

The best rendition I have heard. I remember telling people she was going to kill it for that Super Bowl. Sad people thing she is “weird” and don’t realize she is one of the best vocalist of our generation.

Unbelievable, she never fails to absolutely blow my mind. Having her around truly makes my life better.

fergie's shook

It's so bittersweet to be a fan since day 1 in 2008, to have to listen to the general public talk so much shit about Gaga over the years, for them to turn around and suddenly be a fan of hers. Eat. Your. Heart. Out. So proud of how far you've come, Gaga.

*SHE IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST* *FROM A FAR COUNTRY OF VIETNAM*

Say what you want about her, this was an amazing performance. She's shown how our national anthem is done. One of the best.

Her voice gets better and better!

2019 correction: Academy award winner and 3 time nominee 9 time Grammy winner

I was not a fan of hers until I heard her do this at Super Bowl L. I came back here periodically to hear it again. So beautiful. The best version ever.

Now: An Academy Award winner and 9 times Grammy winner, Lady Gaga

If artists like “Elton John” and “Tony Bennett” say she’s one of the best singer actually...

Who else is hear to cleanse their ears after Ingrid Andress' performance?

PERFECT PERFORMANCE. UNUSUAL voice and pitching notes -- nobody else like her. I'm glad the planes flew over with her voice -- which was unusual, as well. I love the childlike voice ... She is PURE, PERFECT, and I keep living because of her.

Lady gaga Woman of the Year 2016 All your little monsters are proud of you. ♥

I am a 67 year old man and this is the best singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" I have ever heard. It always makes me feel proud to be an American and brings a tear to my eye. Thanks Lady Gaga.

had to cleansed my ears with Gaga after watching that Home run derby sh+t 🙃🙃

Love you Gaga, still one of the top 5 best ever Super Bowl anthems ever

Almost cried and I’m not even american, I’M ITALIAN

translator: 👈👌🤚🤙👋👍✊ the deaf people: 🦅🇺🇸🕺🇺🇸🦅

Regardless of her political affiliations, their is no doubt she is the best female vocalist of the last 20 years, hands down. It’s not even close. It’s shocking how much better she is than so many of her so called “peers”. Shes’s just in a different league altogether. More like an entirely different spectrum that’s beyond comparison.

Lady Gaga is a superb singer who understands the drama of music. I wouldn't put in all the ornamentation as I think it detracts from the song but her rendition is truly beautiful.

Goosebumps

It's not just the vocals, it's the emotion thst really gets me. It's about so much more than just singing and Gaga put her heart and soul into it. After Whitney, she and Demi this year are my faves.

I listen to this rendition often and it always brings a tear to my eye. Tears of pride and honor to the Americans that have brought us so far from our origins. Thank you M'am for inspiring us all so brilliantly. As a veteran on Memorial Day I humbly thank you!

2024 anyone?😢

She actually means it when she sings it. Gave me chills.

By far the best rendition.

made me tears of joy when she start singing this song, Gaga knew exactly how this song needs to be sung. Clean. Clear. Simple. Just the voice and the audience. sending love Lady GAGA

one of the best voices in two decades possibly

Well done Ms. Gaga. You pinned and nailed every single note so effortlessly just like Whitney Houston back in 1991.

I'm just now seeing this but my goodness that woman can really sing

This blows me away every time I've watched it! She added just enough of her own style to the song without bastardizing it, no gobblelygook vocal calisthenics as has been done so often in the past. Pure class! ❤

Her remediation gave me goose bumps, you can feel the pride she has in singing this song. I love her voice!

*THIS* is what you get when the National Anthem is done by a truly _accomplished_ musician (Lady Gaga is not only a good singer but a good pianist, too).

Lady Gaga has the best performance, extremely clear speech, her voice literally singing with the music, and her voice sounds so good that it sounds as the best match for the anthem. If I listened to the anthem on a recording and if I had to choose which one is the 'original' this will be it!

LISTEN EVERY DAY and it works wonders on my daily stress. I swear that one coach didn't blink once when she was singing! He was feeling the Gaga effect!

She nailed this. Best one ever! Love her so much. There wasn't anything over the top it was so beautifully done x

2015: everyone thought it would be the year of Taylor and ended up being Gaga. 2016: everyone thought this would be the year of Adele and Gaga continues to reign.

Who else had to come here after watching Fergie's national anthem performance to cleanse their soul??

For the first time I watched Gaga perform the American National Anthem...and what a performance...it brought tears to my eyes and I am not even American!!!!!

hate how ppl compare her performance here to her rendition at the inauguration. it must have been nerve-wracking for her bc it's the fcking inauguration. And the cold weather is also a major factor. Her renditions at both events are pretty incredible. PERIOD.

Lady Gaga should sing the national anthem at all major sporting events for the rest of time

The contrast between her strong commanding singing voice, and her little girl voice when she says "God bless you America" at the end, is staggering!!

This version always makes me cry. The most beautiful rendition of our national anthem imo

I’m not American but I get chills at how amazing this is

Take it from someone who has been playing guitar for 58+ years, who played out for 35 years, who had opportunity to engineer and produce in a 16-track studio in the '70s ... this lady is one of the most talented performers on the planet, and this performance is stellar, second to none.

She better put this on her new album 😂

Best performance ever

From a Sopranos background actress to performing one of the greatest renditions of our national anthem. What an immensely talented woman.

This is the best version of this ever. Period. Absolutely beautiful and emotional😊

Her voice at the end when she says "god bless you America"....is so strangely CUTE. I never in my life thought i'd be calling gaga cute wtf.

The best pop female artist of all time!

By singing as if she were telling the story to her public, she sounds genuine and unique, perfectly fit for the job

I don't know how Star Spangled Banner should sound like upon hearing so many versions, but Mother Monster owns the song. Best version i ever heard.

When Gaga sang the National Anthem that was my favorite song

She is the headliner for this years Superbowl. Idk how but im gonna fucking be there on the field. I will sell organs to be there.

7 years later, I still have chills from this amazing performance ❤

Love that she said "God Bless you America" Outstanding in every way. Perfect. Thank you for posting.

I'm from Greece but I learnt every single word of your National Anthem because of this perfomance! Gaga you are Perfect! not a #PerfectIllusion , just Perfect!

I am a professional musician/singer and all I can say is, Holy ....whatever!!! This is vocal, artistic and musical PERFECTION! She is such a gift in our time.

13 grammy winner - 2024

Her soprano her vibrato mixed together. Super talented lady gaga

Holy shit. I'm not an American and usually find their overly patriotic antics annoying, but damn this actually sent chills down my spine. Amazing as always, Stephani!

Possibly one of the best public performances of the song. No bells, no whistles, just a legitimate voice singing a well loved song, perfectly executed.

What a wonderful interpretation! Stephanie! Lady Gaga! You did just a wonderful work by singing the National Anthem! God bless America and God bless your heart!❤

The amazing Gaga learned from the best. That's why she's the next best thing now . Listen to her when she sang " To the rampart we watched ( The runs was so Whitney ) . She's passing the torch now .

Whitney Houston & Lady Gaga have given the BEST EVER rendition of our national anthem that I have ever heard in my lifetime! Gorgeous outfit, loved her singing style & incredibly beautiful vocals. Well done Lady Gaga!

She sounds like a classically trained singer.

I’ve watched this over 100 times, each time feels like the first. She’s literally so amazing. That’s it.

Still my favorite rendition, she really nailed it. What a talent!

I remember watching this with family and friends and honestly was so blind to Lady Gaga's singing ability before this. I think most of us were, and a lot of us were talking and kind of not paying much attention at first when this came on during the game, then she starting singing and we all were sitting there in shock with our mouths open by how unbelievably amazing she was, this brought tears to my eyes and opened up my eyes to the shear talent of this woman. I've been a fan ever since. Performance is truly unforgettable.

This is how talent looks like.

I'm not American but she made me want to give her a big hug. Fantastic performance,

I listened to it several times, and my tears dripped involuntarily.
