Jordin did a great job.
 

Never heard of her before, but she nailed it, and it looked like she knows it. :thumbsup

spot on, spot on

She's got an incredible voice

looked like lip sync to me.

Is she 18 yet? I don't want to feel too creepy.

That's what I thought too - she seemed out of sync in the early part. Nice studio rendition nonetheless...


ADG

I thought she did an amazing job as well!

What are you talking about?

That has to be THE HARDEST song to sing. It brought tears to my eyes (it always does). Job well done. Also interesting her Dad was a former NFL player.

She won American idol and is simple great, we love her here in Phoenix as this is her home.

The anthem is ALWAYS lip synced... No artiest could nail it in that situation.. The echo, the crowd and the pressure would all be too much..

the room is spinning

Ive heard TONS of people nail it, and they were not even people with record deals and concert tours. You come to Nashville any night of the week and I could go down town and pull out 20 people within an hour that could nail it. Shit I sang the national anthem at a half time show in high school when I was 17 and didnt screw up.

They wear in ear monitors at any show with lots of people. Echo isnt a problem. If pressure is a problem they shouldnt be on the stage at the super bowl halftime show. :2 cents:

It was lip sync'd. She recorded the anthem earlier in the week.

Completely bogus.

Superbowl is a whole other beast then singing it in front of a high school. And it has to do with the stadium sounds etc...
As Chris stated it is recorded sometime the week prior..

that was the first time I have heard her voice and I though she was great
Beautiful girl too

been following the show.. and Jordin was great! such a talented young lady! :)

We love Jordin here in AZ!
That was one season of American Idol I watched all the way through & we rooted for her.
My Mom works with her Aunt :)

She did a good job...

She made her home town of Glendale proud :)

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this. Was the song great....of course. Pro Tools can make ANYONE sound great. Not taking anything away from her at all, she's a great singer. Her lip syncing could have used some work for sure.

Do you guys remember when Whitney Houston sang it for the Superbowl? Now was prerecorded too I'm sure but, no Pro Tools around then yet. She may be a hot mess now, but she sure could sing back then.

And this is why the Anthem is prerecorded for big events now.

Ear monitors and there is no difference. You are talking about a girl that performed in front of millions of people every week on idol.
