Emotion = 2021

Do you mean the 2016 one? I prefer that one. But she was amazing in the inauguration one too

I loved both, but 2016's was one of the vocal highlights in Gaga's career. Not even those airplanes could muffle her voice. Also, I prefer the "music" of the 2016 rendition.

I prefer emotion over technique so 2021

Both were fantastic. I think the Super Bowl was a better vocal performance on the whole BUT the Inauguration carried so much weight and was such a powerful and historic moment, it's really very moving.

I voted for 2016, but she knocked it out of the park on both.

Her technique was perfect for 2021 wyd   she was just nervous, and you could tell that... as well as it being very cold. It was warmer for her Superbowl one and she was less nervous. 

2021 wins for me, although I do like what she did with the "free" in the 2016 one

[GreatestThing 258]

They are both incredible, her vocals and performance fit the respective event perfectly

The 2016 one was absolutely perfect

2016 is way better. 2021 had me worried. 

[Oreo 2,062]

I loved the wayyy she sang at the Superbowl!!!!

[chromatic puzea 1,941]

2016 vocals were insane but I always laugh at that look i'm sorry

[Dulo Peep 11,142]

2021 

[perfumgenius 361]

2021 had freezing cold weather  so its not a fair comparison 

 

saying that...

 

2016 was better

Not even a discussion for me, 2021 was amazing because it’s Gaga, but 2016 was truly a moment. The transition into falsetto on “freeeeEEEeee”, the double “the braaaveee, the— BRAAAAVE” and then the ‘Part the Red Sea’ hand movement at the end, the jets flying and shots of soldiers in Afghanistan while a vocalist of our generation belted the National Anthem
