From A Fans Perspective:
These are all from Amazon Discussion #5;
Dobs says: You won't hear the National Anthem sung any better by anyone!!! As far as I'm concerned, Jackie is the standard here!!
Skylark says: Just finished watching Jackie sing The National Anthem at the Lions-Packers game. I was nervous and anxious for her....wanted it to be great. Well, it was flawless!! (Of course it was). Happy Thanksgiving all.
William Philpott says: Beautiful rendition of the National Anthem by Jackie. But then she always comes thru. that concludes my football for today as my favorite player just completed a Hail Mary. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
dragonslair says: WOW!!! Dressed in a fashionable black pant suit Jackie even impressed the announcers with her flawless rendition of the National Anthem. I have never heard a dome so quiet during the singing of the anthem and when she hit that high note at the end ... the place erupted momentarily but then fell silent to hear the end of the song. It then erupted again with applause at the end. I predict that She will most likely be asked to sing the anthem at the superbowl in the near future. What a wonderful job Jackie did today. I'm not American but that made me proud to live next door.

Renee Fleming has performed wonderfully in the Super Bowl. I believe Jackie can do as well or better given all the other supporting variables. I often wonder if Jackie has been an influence in getting an Opera singer to the Super Bowl for the National Anthem. It is all good!
