Welcome to the Star-Spangled Banner Super Soloists Tournament!

I have selected eight performances from past Super Bowls for the competition.

Please cast your vote based only on the quality of each vocal performance. Try not to let your affinity for a particular artist sway your vote.

Ok, everyone. Thanks to all who voted. Now onto the divisional finals.

Please use the links above to listen to each performance again if needed.

Division A Final

Beyoncé Knowles vs Lady Gaga

Division B Final

Jennifer Hudson vs Whitney Houston

Time for the championship round!

Lady Gaga vs Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston is the Champion!

If anyone is curious, here is my ranking. Again this is not about the artists overall, but ***these specific performances in isolation***. (I believe some of you may have missed that part in the first post.)

1. Whitney Houston
2. Jennifer Hudson
3. Faith Hill
4. Beyoncé Knowles
5. Luther Vandross (toss-up)
6. Kelly Clarkson (toss-up)
7. Demi Lovato
8. Lady Gaga

@voltronic

there is one and only correct outcome here...hopin CoSo doesn't disappoint

@voltronic really? I thought Gaga did an amazing job at the inauguration

@Groovyeli
She did, but that's not relevant here.

Once again, we're voting on ***these specific performances*** I posted from past Super Bowls.

@TomeReader
That's because she wasn't just a performer; she had SERIOUS vocal technique.

@voltronic When Whitney gorgeously sang “free” and then spiraled it two notes higher... breath taking! The whole performance was.

@Esther
Oh, and pretty much everyone after her copied that little ornamentation. None did it as well, though.
