[From London Free Press, Canada] 1991 Whitney Houston performed The Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl game -- sort of. What the crowd heard was a pre-recorded version while Houston and an orchestra performed on the field. A blend of Houston's live vocals and the pre-recorded version, released as a single, became a hit because of patriotism sparked by the Persian Gulf War.

USA Today includes Whitney Houston in their report on the celebrities they have on their 'radar' for 2005: After a stint in rehab, songbird Houston, 41, has declared 2005 to be her "new beginning." She returns to the spotlight this year with a new album produced by mentor Clive Davis and a concert tour. Does she still have it?
