Most of the time, landing the spot is a real good thing - just ask Whitney Houston, who did a stellar job on singing the anthem before her career spiraled downwards (not because of her Super Bowl outing either). Underwood has the vocal chops to pull off the Anthem just fine. Let’s hope she gives it at least some country bent.
She joins other country performers, who have been associated with the Super Bowl in recent years - the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill and Garth Brooks.
