For my money, the best two voices of the past 50 years are Barbara Streisand and Whitney Houston.  I won't gush over either, but I regard Whitney's rendition of the National Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl as the best of all time. The next time you see some American Idol winner take their a stab at the Anthem, it'll be in pale comparison to Whitney.  Effortless, passionate, inspirational.



In case you're foggy on the details, the Giants won Super Bowl XXV over the Bills by a score of 20-19. Wide right.

Moving right along.

Next, lets hop in the way-back machine, and have a glimpse at 12 year old Christina Aguilera, as she sings Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing on the Mickey Mouse Club in 1992 (Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears singing backup).

Deuce, Deuce and-a-half.

But, we can remember the good old days....

Still think Madonna should keep doing Halftime shows?  Fuck.

And as foreshadowing, I was lazily lounging in bed this afternoon (post 2 hour spin class, and post-nap), watching 'Coming To America'. Classic in so many ways. So one final tribute by Randy Watson and Sexual Chocolate, or, as you may know him - Joe The Policeman, from the 'What's Going Down' episode of That's My Mama....



That boy good.
