It’s almost Super Bowl time and I couldn’t help but think of Beyoncé Knowles‘ rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XXXVIII back in 2004.  She was on Oprah afterwards and talked about the experience:

"Even more so than the Grammys, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem, has always been a dream. [As a child,] I watched Whitney Houston and I literally was in tears. And I grew up saying, ‘Mom, I’m going to do that.’…I actually did it! It was overwhelming. It was amazing, it really was."
