\"Cher\"<\/a>It\u2019s Super Bowl Sunday this weekend and Alicia Keys is slated to perform the National Anthem. <\/p>\n

OK! Magazine<\/em> has just done a review of their favorite performances of the National Anthem: http:\/\/www.okmagazine.com\/news\/top-10-super-bowl-national-anthem-performances-cher-kelly-clarkson-carrie-underwood-more<\/a> <\/p>\n

Their list: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Whitney Houston \u20131991\u2014what a wowee that was. I bought the single cassette! <\/li>\n
  2. Faith Hill\u20142000 <\/li>\n
  3. Kelly Clarkson\u20142012 <\/li>\n
  4. Jennifer Hudson\u20142009 <\/li>\n
  5. Carrie Underwood\u20142010 <\/li>\n
  6. Jordin Sparks\u20142008 <\/li>\n
  7. Mariah Carey\u20142002 <\/li>\n
  8. Cher\u20141999 <\/li>\n
  9. Beyonce\u20142004 <\/li>\n
  10. The Dixie Chicks\u20142003 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note the FOUR American Idol <\/em>singers (three AI winners) in this top ten list. Cher\u2019s inclusion is striking because she\u2019s not the same kind of singer as the others (with the exception of maybe the country sangers). Many would make the case that she\u2019s the weakest singer on the list (if you split vocal hairs about this sort of thing). I chalk up her inclusion on all these favorites listings to the fact that Cher has become, not only a real American idol, but a national treasure. <\/p>\n

    Rolling Stone<\/em> magazine\u2019s list: http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/pictures\/the-most-memorable-super-bowl-national-anthem-performances-20120130<\/a>. <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Whitney Houston <\/li>\n
    2. The Dixie Chicks <\/li>\n
    3. Faith Hill <\/li>\n
    4. Beyonce <\/li>\n
    5. Cher <\/li>\n
    6. Carrie Underwood <\/li>\n
    7. Jennifer Hudson <\/li>\n
    8. Aretha Franklin, Aaron Neville & Dr. John (in a New Orleans Tribute)\u20142006 <\/li>\n
    9. Garth Brooks\u20141993 <\/li>\n
    10. Mariah Carey <\/li>\n
    11. Luther Vandross\u20141997 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      They say about Cher: <\/p>\n

      She left the Bob Mackie headdress at home, but Cher's throaty take on "The Star-Spangled Banner" still had the pop icon's unmistakable style \u2013 not to mention some impressive notes. <\/em><\/p>\n

      Rolling Stone, still hating on the idea of spectacle (at least when it occurred in the 1970s). Get over it, Rolling Stone! <\/p>\n

      The site The Week<\/em> also posted their list recently: http:\/\/theweek.com\/article\/index\/239018\/the-10-greatest-national-anthem-performances-in-super-bowl-history<\/a> <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Whitney Houston <\/li>\n
      2. Luther Vandross<\/li>\n
      3. Jennifer Hudson <\/li>\n
      4. Cher <\/li>\n
      5. Jordin Sparks <\/li>\n
      6. The Dixie Chicks <\/li>\n
      7. Beyonce (tie) <\/li>\n
      8. Carrie Underwood (tie) <\/li>\n
      9. Mariah Carey <\/li>\n
      10. Vanessa Williams\u20141996 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Their comments on Cher: <\/p>\n

        Cher can sing? Holy crap, Cher can sing! This was great. No complaints about Cher. The interpretive dancers were kind of weird, though. The Week's multimedia editor Lauren Hansen nails it: "Cher was surprisingly impressive, but like Mike Bloomberg with Lydia Callis, her spotlight was stolen." <\/em><\/p>\n

        Arbitrary diva rating: 90.4 percent \"Barry\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

        This site also recommends Barry Manilow\u2019s performance from 1984. I would heartily recommend his <\/a>pitch perfect rendition. http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A795MW-Qpow<\/a> <\/p>\n

        I would also recommend Marvin Gaye\u2019s brilliant and chill-inducing performance from the 1983 NBA All-Star Game: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A<\/a><\/p>\n
