Lady Gaga’s ‘Star Spangled Banner’ a Super Bowl 50 highlight
“Some would say Lady Gaga was the MVP of Super Bowl 50,” wrote one person on Twitter.
"Would it be sacrilegious to say it was Whitney Houston good?" offers the website Consequence of Sound.
Here are some other thoughts:
“Lady Gaga – clad in a glittery crimson pants suit that matched her glittering eye makeup and red-white-and-blue Gucci heels made by the company’s creative designer Alessandro Michele – belted out “The Star Spangled Banner” with measured elegance, rising from a soft open to a thundering finish.” – Mark Washburn, Charlotte Observer.
“Lady Gaga continued into year two of her mission to prove to everyone’s Midwestern aunt that she really can sing, delivering a strong, classy, brassy take on “The Star Spangled Banner.” – Variety
"The pop star gave us goosebumps when she kicked off Super Bowl 50 Sunday night, powering through (and totally slaying) The Star-Spangled Banner." – USA Today
