As football and music lovers gear up for the Latin takeover of the Super Bowl’s Halftime Show courtesy of its headliners, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, excitement builds on who will be delegated the coveted duty of kicking off the game with a rousing rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’
Historically calling on some of the industry’s most vocally capable to pull off the feat (i.e. Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, etc.), expectations for the chosen vocalist are almost as high as they are for the Halftime Show performers.
Pop singer Kesha recently made headlines for indicating one of her ‘biggest dreams’ is to sing the U.S. national anthem before a Super Bowl (click here to read more), a revelation that incited debate on who should be appointed the honor.
With names like Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, and Lizzo leading the conversation ahead of the NFL’s official announcement, we turn to you – That Grape Juice faithful – to ask: who should sing the national anthem at Super Bowl LIV on February 2?!

Def Toni or Hudson
Camila, but she’s Latina, I’d rather chose an American legend like Mary j or Lizzo
NONE of them, tbh. But ?
Destiny’s Child
No
Amen
That would be hot a female group, but I’ll go with En Vogue first and then destiny child
You know that they are not getting En vogue lol
If Destinys child is coming back for a return then I think they should.
I say make Rihanna sing it.
Lol u high right?
Your mom is.
“Make her” ?? ????
The weeknd.
Jennifer Hudson already sung the national anthem at the Super Bowl in 2013
Let Google be your friend!!
?? tea
Celine Dion or Toni Braxton
Celine is Canadian
I’m laughing at the fact that y’all put Miley Cyrus ,Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber on this f****** list.
The only two people up there that I can see singing it is Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan.
Miley can sing sing, don’t play yourself now.
Camila Cabello or Selena Gomez. We need latinas to rule the night and Selena and Camila are the new Whitney and Mariah ??♀️??♀️
Selena and camila should never be in the same sentence as mariah and whitney. Selena Gomez is somewhere having another breakdown and when she sings she’s whispering her loudest to a turn off microphone. Camila wouldn’t even acknowledge Mariah and Whitney because since they are both black women
Camila is the new Whitney and Mariah. Just look at her stats. And my oh my is rising to the top 10 on billboard next week and liar is climbing the charts too. Two incoming #1 hits. A full slay. CC will have more #1’s than Mariah when it’s all said and done. Mariah is Camilas son
B**** TF?!?!?!?! YOU GOT TO BE MOTHERFUCKING CRAZY IF YOU THINK THOSE 2 EVEN COME CLOSE TO MARIAH AND WHITNEY. SIT THE F*** DOWN YOU DELUSIONAL SOB!!!!!!
Mariah sings like she has a throat full of thrush these days. Camila sings like an angel and has the range Mariah wishes she had. Mariah is Camilas son.
As a Mariah lamb, fan for years. Camilla ain’t got s*** on Mariah with her basic vocals, uninspired songs, she literally has no artistry. Nobody will remember her as a legend, aside from the Latinos.
USA will never ever call her a legend. Mariah was respected by her peers and legends in the industry. Stevie wonder, Michael Jackson, Toni Braxton. People she was competing with had all respect for her. Cause she is a singer songwriter producer. Unlike miss racist
K Michelle is the best choice to sing the National anthem ratchet version
Or your mom.
Fantasia
Mariah Carey
Mary j blige
Kanye west Sunday service
Rihanna
Patti labelle
Ariana grande
Sia
HER
Summer walker
Celine Dion
Stevie wonder
Diana ross
Kelly rowland
Amerie
Missy elliot
Jesse j
Adele
Sam smith
Normani
Camellia
AMERIE AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why not Mya?
Monica! She ate it up at the NBA finals.
Fergie
Fantasia hunni ?
Mary j Blige
Celine Dion, Harry Styles, Shawn, Justin and more and not even American! I say Toni Braxton or John Legend he is having a good run right now, and everyone likes him, plus a man doing it would be great, it would avoid previous female comparisons or whatever.
I voted Toni cause that’s my fav vocalist out of those but Gloria Estefan would make sense due to the Latino theme. but I wish they’d put in a male vocalist for a change so John Legend would also be great.
Toni dies out at the climax. Can’t drag all that vocal weight up there. Neither should she attempt to. Her sister, Tamar, shines there.
oooh and I can’t @ the gang of crows rigging this poll. get a life and a job so maybe you can buy tickets to save face for her lol
Let’s think for one second…who would be here rigging a almost unknown blog poll on C*****’s behalf?
Clarkbitch and all his troll acc –‘
Hope TGJ resets the poll and erase his accounts!
I didn’t know Lizzo sang I thought she rapped or whatever…
Jennifer Hudson
Kelly Clarkson
Celine Dion
Toni Braxton
I’ll be happy with any of them
Hands down mary j Blige Jennifer Hudson lizzo Mariah carey
Since the Super Bowl will be taking place in Miami I think that Gloria Estefan should do the honors, as she is a resident of Miami by way of Cuba. Also to go along with Jlo and Shakira doing the halftime show, keep the Hispanic vibes going.
Easy. Toni or Celine.
JoJo. She would kill it!
Jennifer already did it and it wasn’t memorable or special like Whitney, Mariah or Gaga.
Keep in mind black People are protesting in solidarity so it will be hard to have a black respected legend perform
So probably a country singer or conservative
Celine? Nah. She lost the super-belty part of her voice. Understandable after a decade in Vegas. Keke Wyatt should nail it. Tamar, too, if she smooths out her chest-to-head note transitions. Whitney broke the mould, man!
Monica, Brandy or Ariana Grande
Male wise, I’d say:
Tyrese
Luke James
Mario
#Miley with those vocals #queen
What about Kelly Rowland? Ke Ke Wyatt? Monica?
The Bomparts should sing the National anthem. Recent contestants on Americas most musical family, the Bomparts live in Plantation Florida. They are breath taking performers..
It should be Camila Cabello she would be perfect
Racist you mean?
YALL BETTER HAVE ARIANA GRANDE??
YALL BETTER HAVE ARIANA GRANDE?? and who cares about shawn mendes and s***?
I think that Rascal Flatts should be invited to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl acapella as they sang I’ll be Home For Christmas. They have beautiful harmony and I think the stadium will be totally silent through the whole performance. They are extraordinary.
Google I’ll be Home For Christmas by Rascal Flatts and see what I mean.
