National Anthem Length Odds
The length of the Super Bowl has been a hot topic in recent years, but perhaps the most unforgettable performance occurred in 1991 when Whitney Houston blew the roof off Tampa Stadium and left the whole world speechless. Her performance has been the gold standard ever since, but there are others who have circled the sun, like Faith Hill (2000), Beyoncé (’04), Carrie Underwood (’10), and Demi Lovato (’20).
As for how long these crooners and chanteuses take to sing the Star-Spangled Banner, it can vary depending on their musical proclivities. We would have to take a small step back in time to 2013 when Alicia Keys took her own sweet time singing the anthem and ended after a still-standing record of 2 minutes and 36 seconds.
It should be noted that five of the last dozen national anthems have come since 2013. Alicia certainly set a new standard, and four others have followed suit. However, last year, Reba McEntire took only 1 minute and 35 seconds to bang out the anthem, and then it was time to get down to business in a Super Bowl tilt won by the Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers.
BetUS has already set the line for Jon Batiste’s national anthem version, and there are also hundreds of other entertaining Super Bowl props all under one roof. Whether it is professional or recreational bettors, BetUS caters to one and all with a betting buffet that never leaves our customers hungry for more.
