It looks as though Cissy Houston may have ended the long-standing debate regarding whether or not Whitney Houston lip-synched her iconic version of the National Anthem. For years, there were rumors that Whitney sang to a pre-recorded track while performing the “Star Spangled Banner” during Super Bowl and that her mic was turned off. This is standard and recommended by the NFL each year so that it is guaranteed that nothing goes wrong during the performance.
After the media made such a huge deal when it was revealed that Beyonce sung the National Anthem to a pre-recorded track during the Inauguration, the most common line used to defend her was, “Whitney did it too.”
But Whitney didn’t lip-sync if you believe her mother Cissy Houston. She recently sat down with Kevin Frazier of OMG Insider and when she was asked if the NFL wanted Whitney to lip-sync, she responded:
She wouldn’t do it. She said, ‘I want to sing it’ and she sang it. She SAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG it! I was really proud of her. Always been proud of her.
Watch the interview (which contradicts what Jimmy Jam has said), plus watch Whitney blowing the National Anthem out of the ball park below:
