Don't only C-list artists perform the anthem every year?

Congrats? I'm sure she'll steal the show as usual from the HT performers.

Super proud of Gaga! Awesome for her to be among the likes of

Idina Menzel
Renée Fleming
Alicia Keys
Kelly Clarkson
Christina Aguilera

As National Anthem singers

Yep! Kelly, Idina, Beyonce, XTina, Alicia, Whitney, Mariah, etc....all acclaimed, talented vocalists. It's great that they believe in Gaga's talent enough to ask her to do one of the most high profile performances that relies on talent alone.

Her manager is pulling all the stops

Not surprised some people are fuming. Gaga is one of the few artists capable of performing both the National Anthem and the half time show (which she will likely be asked to do one day). Their faves would maybe be asked to do the halftime show where they can have pre-recorded vocals, guests and huge props to make a show, but never in a million years to do the anthem where only raw, true talent is showcased.

Gaga better not stray away from a traditional rendition of the National Anthem. A rainbow cape and a choir full of gays will not cut it with the NFL crowd.

I guess you missed the Oscars last year, where she performed a note-perfect, incredibly faithful tribute to the Sound of Music that received acclaim and commendations for the legendary Julie Andrews.

I see four AI alumni in the last twenty five years to do it. I also count sixteen Grammy winners there as well. Not bad company to be in.

Exactly, and those 4 AI alumni are all superstars in their own right....calling them "AI alumni" as if they've accomplished nothing else is such cheap, invalid shade. They've won Grammys and Oscars.

since when has singing the national anthem been a sign of critical acclaim

Do you live under a rock? Singing the National Anthem (arguably the most meaningful song to people in this country, a song that is a big deal to not mess up) at one of the biggest TV events of the year is a HUGE honor. It shows that they trust you to do it justice just relying on your raw talent alone. Not everyone can do that.
