有趣的事实：这既不是她预先录制的，她也没有对口型。他们本想让她对口型的，但惠特妮拒绝了这个提议，还说对口型这种事老娘干不出来。

10、For all the people listening & watching today, remember how we got here. A country divided cannot stand but only WE can bring US together. The United States is not perfect and only you can create the pride you feel for our country, not external forces & the commitment to build & elevate her to greatness. Think for yourselves, what kind of legacy do you wish to leave for your children & grandchildren.
在今天（7月4日）聆听和观看这场表演的所有人，你们要记得我们是如何走到今天这一步的。一个四分五裂的站都站不起来的国家，但只有我们能把美国团结起来。美国并不完美，只有你自己能生出对我们国家的自豪感，而不是靠外力，而且要致力于建设乃至提升她的伟大。为你们自己想想，你希望留给子孙的是什么样的遗产？

38、Absolute chills. No one will touch this rendition. Not just because she sang with so much power, perfect pitch, great control and placement, but because she told a story. She sang the second verse with such a soft conviction. She didn’t just belt and scream the entire time. She used different areas of her voice to give a nuanced performance of a song that’s been done to hell. Stop comparing people to Whitney’s version. It isn’t fair. This transcends vocal talent. This is pure musicianship and an untouchable talent for understanding the details of the voice and the way one can enhance a story through their style of vocal.
绝对能让人打寒颤。没有人能企及这样的表演。不只是因为她以如此的磅礴之势唱出了这首歌，也不是因为完美的音高、极佳的控制力和踩点，而是因为她讲出了一个故事。她唱第二段的时候，带着一种极尽温柔的信念。她并没有全程嘶吼。为了奉献出细腻到极致的表演，她使用的是自己不同区域的声音。别再把别人拿去和惠特妮的版本比较了。这是不公平的。这已经超越了声音的天赋。这完全就是音乐家的才能，同时也是一种无法企及的天赋，即深谙声音中的各种细节，深谙通过何种演唱风格能强化一个故事。

50、Whitney didn''t make this performance all about her at all....no fancy clothing or diva moments. She came out with a track suit, with barely any makeup on and wearing a headband, and she delivered the best national anthem performance of all time! I love that she smiled throughout the performance.
惠特妮在这场表演中，完全没有刻意凸显她自己…没有花里胡哨的服装，也没有设计什么天后范儿的瞬间。她就这么穿着一件运动服出来了，几乎没化什么妆，只戴了根头巾，然后就奉献出了有史以来最完美的国歌表演！我很喜欢她从头到尾脸上都带着笑。

她唱这首歌的状态就像是，有人打电话给她说，“我需要你放下手头的事情，来唱这首歌，立刻就来”，她来了…抿了一小口水…把歌唱了，然后走人

59、Reasons why this is the best version of the national anthem:
为什么说这是美国国歌的最佳版本，理由如下：
0
1. Shes not wearing any fancy hair or clothes. Here shes a everyday woman, she doesnt care much about looks, shes simply casual.
2. Her body expression screams proud, the way she moves her arms at the end, pulse up to the sky. And the ear to ear smile. Shes not just singing notes, shes feeling happiness and proud of her nationality.
3. Shes not trying to show off vocals. Shes not oversinging. Shes just singing in her style, which gives it the unique tone of this rendintion. Look how she sings "brave" at the end. Its simply her style.
4. History of the moment: her happiness and proud was symbolic of the american people and media , due to the gulf war. It was a blow of freash air of hope and faith.
5. The band, which also made an amazing job and just blended so well to her "full and thick" tone.
1）她没有选择任何时髦的发型或服装。那一刻的她就是一个普通的女人，她也不太在乎外表，她只是信口为之。
2）她的肢体语言洋溢着自豪感，结尾处她手臂上的动作是高举向天空。还有满面的笑意。她不只是在唱那些音符，她感受到了幸福，也为自己的国家感到骄傲。
3）她没有想要炫技的意思。她没有唱得太响。她只是在用自己的风格演唱，这就赋予了这场表演独一无二的氛围。去瞧瞧最后那个词“brave”她是怎么处理的。那完全就是她的风格。
4）那一刻的历史：由于波斯湾战争，她的幸福和骄傲成了美国人民和美国媒体的象征。那是袭来的一阵清风，里头满是希望和信念。
5）那支乐队的表现也相当惊艳，而且和她那“丰沛而厚重”的音色极为协调。

61、3 years ago, my choir teacher showed us the best and worst national anthems, and this was the best one. He also said never to add anything like riffs to the anthem when one of my friends said, "But Whitney Houston did a riff, why can she do it?" And he replied, "Because she''s Whitney Houston..."
3年前，我的合唱团老师给我们展示了最棒和最烂的国歌，而这首是最棒的那首。他还说，唱国歌的时候绝对不要乱加任何元素，比如即兴重复，当时我的一个朋友就说，“可是惠特妮·休斯敦就加了一个即兴重复，为什么她就可以？”老师回答说，“因为她是惠特妮·休斯敦…”
