I must admit it. When I heard Lady Gaga was to perform The National Anthem at the opening of Super Bowl L, I felt some trepidation, not knowing what to expect.

But, she hit a "home run!"

Nice job, Lady Gaga!

I felt, and feel the same. I missed it live, thanks for the link.

Lady Gaga did something else a while ago and I heard it, asked my wife who it was and she said it was Lady Gaga. She can hit it.

Echo the above, it was amazing. If you look close about halfway through you can see a tear down her right cheek.

She did a great job. I always hate it when famous singers junk it up with a bunch of ad libbing. Lady Gaga was respectful to our national anthem.

If you get past her bizarre videos and fashions, the girl can actually sing.

Best national anthem rendition since Whitney Houston in 1991! People underestimate Lady Gaga's talent…

Gaga nailed it! She has one of the best contemporary voices. I normally don't like it when the anthem is styled, but she gave it dignity and style.

Ditto. Her performance at the Grammys honoring The Sound of Music was fantastic too. She has an amazing voice!

Rudysnelson07 Feb 2016 6:47 p.m. PST

It was good but I did not know that she was an American.

Ragbones07 Feb 2016 6:50 p.m. PST

The tempo was too slow. She did a nice job though.

Winston Smith07 Feb 2016 6:52 p.m. PST

Nailed it. She's number 2 behind the Dixie Chicks.

Greylegion07 Feb 2016 7:00 p.m. PST

Gotta say, I was pleasantly surprise. She did well.

Ed von HesseFedora07 Feb 2016 9:39 p.m. PST

Saw her in concert with Tony Bennett. Amazing voice. She sang "La Vie en Rose" in both French and English and totally nailed it!

wrgmr107 Feb 2016 11:42 p.m. PST

She can sing very well. I thought she did a great job with the anthem.

AND she has LEGS…as testified by the Tony Bennett Xmass commercial…8.9's at the very least.

BTW, she was lip-syncing, but that was still her voice. Only part of the SB I witnessed. Nice job.

and no auto-tune!

Winston Smith08 Feb 2016 9:27 a.m. PST

Her duets with Tony Bennett are dynamite.

GypsyComet08 Feb 2016 9:33 a.m. PST

Based on her first two albums she considers auto-tune just another tool, while some other "acts" wouldn't exist without it. There is a lot of justified disdain for auto-tune out there, and some extend that to all of its users, deserving or not.

Phrodon08 Feb 2016 9:51 a.m. PST

I thought she did a great job. I am not a Lady Gaga follower and I do not know any of her songs, but she impressed me. She also did not hold those long annoying notes that make you cringe. Some singers feel a need to make the US anthem go on and on and on. Finish the line already! There was just a touch of it at the end, but that was okay.

goragrad08 Feb 2016 12:21 p.m. PST

She held some words a bit long, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Tom Bryant08 Feb 2016 6:09 p.m. PST

I was impressed when I heard her with Tony Bennett on Duets. This just goes to show that she is the "Real Deal". Well done Ma'am or as they Navy says BRAVO ZULU!

Winston Smith08 Feb 2016 8:10 p.m. PST

Her smile said "I got this."
And she did.

I thought it was outstanding also. Might have been the highlight of the whole show.
