Thought I would start a thread to see what different folks consider their favorite rendition of our National Anthem :patriot:

Recently was in Ottawa visiting family this last March. One of the NHL games at the Canadian Tire Center we attended was a match-up between the Ottawa Senators and the Carolina Hurricanes. So in these cases the singer performs both the US and Canadian anthems. At that game it was a young man named Brenden MacGowan who I thought just did a great job on both anthems. Here's a video with him singing the anthems during the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs:


Interested to see what other people on the forum consider their favorite rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.

For my money, it's still Whitney Houston in the Super Bowl.



IMO the most dynamic female vocalist ever...shame she had to ruin it with a crack pipe.

Well if we're just f***in' around, I found a video linked on that page pretty topical as well.

Treshelle Edmond's rendition in ASL in 2015 is still one of my favourites.
