Chris Willman Music WriterUnofficially, at least, the United States has three national anthems now, not just one … which allowed three musical all-star artists — Mickey Guyton, Jhené Aiko and Mary Mary — to shine in the immediate run-up to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles Sunday.Much-lauded country singer Guyton was in pole position just before the game to sing “The Star Spangled Banner,” as she has on many occasions before. Although a pianist was seen, Guyton’s version was for all intents and purposes a cappella, joined by a choir shortly before she gave Frances Scott Key’s tune a galvanizing key change.In a way, Guyton’s appearance was an act of symbolic consolidation, on top of just picking the rare current name act who’s capable of the vocal job.

Geoff Mayfield Ten years ago today, the world lost Whitney Houston. She was 48 years old and on the precipice of a long-awaited comeback that was tragically cut short the night before the 2012 Grammy Awards.

Whitney Houston’s impact is felt a decade after her death. On Feb. 11, 2012, the GRAMMY-winning superstar died of drowning, and effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use.

Ten years ago today, the music world lost one of its brightest stars in Whitney Houston. The beloved superstar died on February 11, 2012 at the age of 48 just hours before the 54th Grammy Awards were due to get underway in California. Whitney was herself due to appear and was staying at the Beverly Hilton hotel, where she was tragically found dead after accidentally drowning in a bathtub. Over the past 10 years, all the salacious details about her death and addiction struggles have been rinsed to high heavens but ultimately, the true sadness is the loss of a remarkable talent that is frankly yet to be matched. Widely referred to as ‘the voice’ and ‘vocal bible’, Whitney’s influence on the big vocalists we enjoy today is clear to see whether it’s Ariana Grande, Adele, Kelly Clarkson or even Mariah Carey, the latter of who some might argue is in a league of her own. Whitney’s vibrato, cadence and versatility is why she embodied exactly what it means to be a true pop star; able to belt out a vintage power ballad but equally master a contemporary R&B bop seamlessly. It still stands that Whitney has sold more physical singles than any other female solo artist in history, while her streaming figures on Spotify alone are enough to make your eyes water.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the passing of Whitney Houston.The star, who rose to fame in the mid-80s and sold 200 million records worldwide, was found dead in the bath in her Beverly Hills hotel room on 11 February 2012. She was just 48. She’d been battling drug addiction for years, and her cause of death was confirmed by the coroner’s report to be heart disease and cocaine intoxication.
