Its still her voice. :air: Maybe they didn't have the great sound system they have now and the jets would have drowned out her voice? Don't quote me on that, I don't know s*** about sound work.  :emma:

Please don't ever compare Whitney to Katy...ever! :) 

Yes, Whitney did lip sync. She still had a spectacular voice! There is no denying that.

I'm more annoyed by what she was wearing. :neyde: I know it's the 80s/90s fashion, but come on girl. :neyde: 

Still love her tho.

The super bowl producers require the national anthem singers to lip sync.  They keep a schedule to the second and can't afford any mishaps such as a singer not feeling well at the moment.  Gaga must have done a lot of push-back to be allowed to sing live.  She has made comments in the past against lip syncing in general.   I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if she told them its either done live or find someone else.

I live outside the space time continuum.

this is the most reasonable answer to the question i made, i gave up bc everybody misunderstood me. I only wanted to know why Whitney did lip-sync and why it was so aclaimed, thanks ;)

Whitney's performance was important for more than her vocals. The fact that it was lip-sycnched does kinda suck, but ultimately a lot of the praise the rendition has gotten had a lot to do with the way that song made people feel because of what was going on. It came after the start of the Gulf War, where people were scared and needing inspiration.

Spoiler

 

The possibility of a terror attack is high, and Super Bowl XXV -- the Giants vs. the Bills, scheduled just 10 days later -- is a soft and glaring bull's-eye.

The Goodyear blimp? Grounded. A Blackhawk patrols instead. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue's annual Super Gala gala? Canceled. Concrete bunkers gird the parking lot of old Tampa Stadium, and a 6-foot-high chain-link rises quickly behind that. Canines sniff chassis, and ushers wave metal detectors. SWAT teams walk the stadium roof with machine guns. Alternate dates, due to a fear of mass casualties, are considered. For a Super Bowl.

"[It] was the shape of things to come," former defensive back Everson Walls recalled in 2013 for USA Today. "The security was incredible. I think that's the first time they checked bags and really were concerned about terrorist threats."

It was tense. "Players were discussing privately if there would be a draft," former Giants tight end Howard Cross said last year in the New York Post. "And whether our younger brothers might be drafted."
