Backstreet Boys - 2002

It was truly a breath of fresh air when Howie finally had the chance to sing lead. Even though the Backstreet Boys experienced some technical difficulties during their performance, they still managed to make America proud.

Dixie Chicks - 2003

There will plenty who might agree that this performance should not have been on this list because of the controversy that followed them after their performance, but their three-part harmony was really on point and the fly-over afterward was pretty amazing.

With the Atlanta University Center Chorus backing her up, Natalie Cole put a gospel spin on the national anthem. She totally nailed it, too.

Diana Ross - 1982

Diana Ross, known for her theatrics, decided to go acapella and show off her smooth vocals instead. The audience decided to sing along with her which made the whole performance that much better.

The diva's recognizable contralto voice makes the tough song seem easy to sing. You just can't help but be stunned when she hits that last note.
