I thought Stapelton’s anthem last night was really special (bad ***, as my son reported). I still think Marvin Gaye is about the best ever. Remind me, what other big stage national anthems are worthy of sincere praise?

Gladys Knight. Just a wonderful lady and singer. I’d be all for her doing a halftime show with the remaining Pips!!

Stapleton owns it now. Simple. Powerful. Perfect performance.

Whitney might have lip-synced, but even then it was flawless. She could have done it live easily at that point in her life. She was perfection.

Stapleton's was outstanding too.

You'd also be hard up to find one much better than Everett McCorvey from UK does. Kills it every time and he lets the crowd take over which is phenomenal since everyone is actually singing along. Can't do that with a lot of performers.

When Ray Charles did "America the Beautiful" at the World Series it will never be topped. Awesome moment.
