I love Gladys Knight.  I'm sure she will do justice to the National Anthem.

No speculation. Please educate yourself before you make a statement that sounds like you pulled it right out of thin air. Like I stated, it’s been all over the news. It’s a shame you missed it.

Many performers turned down offers to sing.

Laughing Out Loud! So sorry that I missed this earth shattering news @Ifeelwicked but I'm fixated on a Lifetime or Hallmark movie right now. Decisions, decisions!!!!!!!

Yes, they did and for the exact reason I touched on. Thanks you for your input. Maroon 5 came to mind bc they took a lot of heat for accepting. It’s a huge honor to be asked to perform. I don’t believe they are participating for any other reason.

Those are the best places to watch movies @JaneMarple  From what I have been able to find yahoo.com is saying she is being slammed but I do not click or read that type of media.  I hope you have some popcorn beside you.

Social media has a way of making a few naysayers look like a groundswell.  Surely we've learned that by now.  Better to use respected news sources.

I have always enjoyed Gladys Knight's music! If I watch this year's Super Bowl, her performance of the National Athem is sure to be the highlight of the event for this non-pro-football fan. I have just always more so enjoyed the college games.

I get so tired of pop singers shrieking the National Anthem to the point where it's scarcely recognizable.  If that's what she's going to do, I'd prefer she stay home.

@Kachina624 Gladys Knight has not been known for shrieking.

LOL!  Certainly not.  Nor were the Pips.

In a statement, Knight said, "I am proud to use my voice to unite and represent our country in my hometown of Atlanta. The NFL recently announced their new social justice platform Inspire Change, and I am honored to be a part of its inaugural year.”

you can also look up "INSPIRE CHANGE" and "DREAM CORPS."

*of course, some artists had been asked to sing and perform at the superbowl and declined.*
