Who sang the national anthem at every Super Bowl?

There's nothing quite like the first. Super Bowl I featured the two teams from two different leagues so why not have two marching bands from two different conferences?

The dueling marching bands were accompanied by Super Bowl spectators full throat in a cool moment that would be the beginning of one of America's most popular events every year.

The Grambling State Marching Band did so well in the halftime show in Super Bowl I, the NFL invited them to do the national anthem at Super Bowl II. They didn't get much of a break though has they performed at halftime for the second year in a row.

The first trumpet of the Washington Symphony Orchestra provided Super Bowl III with the sweet sound of his horn. Geisler would be the first solo performer and the first in a line of trumpet players who would play the national anthem.

Ever ask yourself what pairs well with trumpet and came up with a spoken word version of the national anthem? Somehow, the NFL did. It was an odd version of our nation's anthem at Super Bowl IV featuring actor Pat O'Brien, but it wasn't the most offensive rendition. 

Even legends have off days. It's just rough it had to be at one of the biggest sports days for Tommy Loy. The famous Dallas trumpeter's performance at Super Bowl V wasn't his cleanest, specifically a mid-song squeak. Even the best stumble sometimes.

The military's first crack at the national anthem was powerful, but ironically, the military got in the way. A flyover of eight F-4 Phantom's flying in the missing man formation drowned out part of the national anthem. Whoops.

Having children perform the national anthem was a genius choice by the NFL. Kids are cute, singing kids are even cuter and no one is going to bash them even if they were a bit pitchy to start Super Bowl VII. Although if Twitter existed back then, someone would've found a way.

Before Mariah Carey and Diana Ross, Charley Pride was the first pop star to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl. A regular on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, the music legend delighted the Super Bowl VIII crowd with an even performance with no loud airplanes or unpredictable children.

So they nice, they were asked to do it twice. The NFL brought back the Grambling State University Marching Band for its second national anthem turn at the Super Bowl. This time, they got help from a Mardi Gras choir that gave the Super Bowl IX anthem a New Orleans twist.

Sullivan may have been blind, but that didn't stop him from turning in an impressive national anthem performance at Super Bowl X. The United State's bicentennial coincided with this Super Bowl, so he put a little pizzaz with his vocal runs that many have emulated in future anthem renditions.

This is the first and only time there wasn't a national anthem at the Super Bowl, but popular vocalist Vikki Carr treated the crowd to a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful." Super Bowl XI also included a frisbee dog, which should honestly be included at every football game.

With the Super Bowl back in New Orleans, the NFL got a local artist to perform the national anthem. Unfortunately, after a string of stars, Kelly's turn as an anthem singer is largely forgotten.

A cappella has certainly come a long way, but this wasn't exactly "Pitch Perfect" in 1978. The Colgate Thirteen didn't exactly light the world on fire with their performance at Super Bowl XIII, but it certainly was one of the more unique versions of the anthem in the game's history.

There were a lot of raised eyebrows when "Charlie's Angel" star Cheryl Ladd was announced to be the national anthem singer, but she wowed the crowd with an impressive performance. This was just the beginning for Ladd who would go on to have a Billboard Top-40 hit and a gold record.

The iconic big band singer had a great career, but was unable to dial it in for Super Bowl XV. Well, she did dial the volume to 11, at least.

A bona fide legend at this point in her career, Diana Ross gracing Super Bowl XVI was a huge honor for the NFL. She was coming off the success of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" and she killed it with her rendition of the national anthem that was emotional and engaging.

The success of Cheryl Ladd most likely caused the NFL to greenlight "Laverne & Shirley" star Leslie Easterbrook. Things were actually going well until she went to the higher octave during the "Land of the free" lyric and stayed there, which wasn't pleasant for many watching Super Bowl XVII.

After the Easterbrook fumble, the NFL decided to go with an actual singer for the national anthem at Super Bowl XVIII. However, the result was less than ideal with Manilow trying to make the anthem his own with odd choices and a generally uninspired performance. At least he'll always have "Mandy."

The previous two national anthem performances were a wash, so the NFL went back to a tried and true formula: kids. The league got the San Francisco Boys Choir for Super Bowl XIX and was rewarded with a great performance from a massive amount of singing boys.

A year after they went back to choirs, the NFL went with another trumpeter. Wynton Marsalis is widely regarded as one of the best to ever play the instrument and he brought a smooth swingy version of the "Star Spangled Banner" to the fans watching Super Bowl XX.

No matter what you think of Neil Diamond, you can't deny he has a unique style and delivery. He put his signature spin to the national anthem, leaving his fingerprints on Super Bowl history with a longish performance.

By the time Jazz legend Herb Alpert hit the Super Bowl XXII stage, he already won nine Grammys, sold 72 million records and five No. 1 albums. Good thing, too, because his "Star Spangled Banner" rendition with this trumpet was not a great representation of his greatness. He might also be the reason the NFL has never gone back to a non-vocal national anthem performance since.

Billy Joel graced the Super Bowl stage in 1989 to much fanfare, but his delivery was far from the star vibe he regularly delivers. The Piano Man was just a man on stage without the signature attitude in a muted performance that was more business-like than a concert. Fortunately, he more than made up for it at Super Bowl XLI.

I don't know much, but I know I love me some Aaron Neville. Unfortunately, his first Super Bowl national anthem performance wasn't his best. Neville brought his signature soft, falsetto delivery to Super Bowl XXIV, but a couple of breaks in song soiled an otherwise unique rendition. 

When you think of the best national anthem ever, this is the one. His powerful and perfect rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" was not needlessly complicated with vocal runs, but stands out because of the powerful and emotional delivery of one of the greatest singers of the generation performing while the United States was fighting the first Gulf War. 

It was so good, it actually charted on Billboard as a single and remains the only time the national anthem has been on the prestigious list. 

One of New Orleans' favorite sons started things off at Super Bowl XXVI. Not one to sacrifice style for performance, he rocked a slick tuxedo that caught everyone's eye.

The country music legend brought some twang to Super Bowl XXVII with his version of the national anthem. Unsurprisingly, he put on one of the better performances in the game's history.

Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole, made a name for herself, with a successful R&B career. Her national anthem performance at Super Bowl XXVIII was big and over the top, but what else would you expect from such an accomplished artist?

Why the NFL chose a talk show host to sing the national anthem, we'll never know. Kathie Lee Gifford gave a surprisingly solid performance for those in attendance at Super Bowl XXIX, but the those watching on television got a scarier rendition.

A singer singing the national anthem instead of a talk show host? What a novel concept. The NFL turned to recording star Vanessa Williams for the Super Bowl XXX national anthem. Her consistent performance was all the league could ask for with an XXX-rated name.

The legendary singer lended his silky smooth delivery to Super Bowl XXXI for the national anthem. He didn't disappoint with a powerful performance that rocked the house

Hand over heart or hands behind the back? This was a question Jewel wrestled with in the middle of performing the "Star Spangled Banner." Thankfully, she made a decision and gave a good vocal performance in San Diego.

One thing about Cher is that she will always Cher in any situation. Instead of going with a more traditional route, the 100-million-record-selling artist put her own spin on things and made it her own. You should expect nothing less from the Goddess of Pop.

Bagpipes? Brass? Synthesizers? No, this isn't some hipster ska concert. This is the national anthem at Super Bowl XXXIV. Somehow, Faith Hill was able to combine seemingly dissonant sounds to make a tasty national anthem stew that was easy on the ears. I guess those five Grammys weren't for nothing.

Not even the NFL could escape the boy band phase and got the band of all bands to perform at Super Bowl XXXV. Like the boy band era itself, the NFL's fascination with the genre was short-lived as the league never got another group like that ever again.

If you go into a dark bathroom and say "Mariah Carey" three times, a vocal run will happen close by. The iconic vocalist had plenty of flourishes in her version of the national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVI, but because they were backed by her generational voice, it was a stirring performance up to the standard of one of the most accomplished artists of her time.

Before they were public enemy no. 1 and summarily blacklisted, the Dixie Chicks put on a perfect three-harmony rendition of the national anthem for the San Diego crowd. Then, the 13-time Grammy winners went political a couple of months later and disappeared for years.

Queen Bey didn't have the cleanest version of the national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII, but her power at the end of the performance remains as one of the strongest in the game's history. It is Beyonce, after all.

The NFL was in full U.S. military support mode when they had the combined military choir from every branch perform the anthem at Super Bowl XXXIX. In true, armed forces fashion, the performance was tight and the harmonies worked perfectly with each other to make a sterling performance.

An XL Super Bowl deserves an XL national anthem. With the country removed a couple of months from Hurricane Katrina, legends Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville joined New Orleans icon Dr. John for the "Star Spangled Banner" in an emotional moment for fans everywhere.

Second time's the charm for Billy Joel who took his second opportunity to put some emotion behind his version of the national anthem, making up for the static version he performed in 1989. Oh, and this time, the Piano Man actually had his piano at Super Bowl XLI.

Jordin Sparks, herself the daughter of a former NFL player, made history as the first American Idol winner to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl and she represented the competition very well at Super Bowl XLII.

The NFL decided to go back to the American Idol well for the Super Bowl XLIII national anthem, tapping Jennifer Hudson to get the game started. She definitely put her stamp on it with some vibrato and a strong vocal performance.

For the third straight year, the NFL went with an American Idol participant and made "Sunday Night Football" theme song performer Carrie Underwood the national anthem singer for Super Bowl XLIV. While she can hold down the theme for the popular football show, America's theme song wasn't her strongest outing.

Christina Aguilera is already a legendary artist and is super accomplished. Now that we got the compliments out of the way, her national anthem performance at Super Bowl XLV was over the top, even for over the top artists. Legend has it, she is still doing a vocal run from that rendition.

Like the NFL, Kelly Clarkson caught on to using kids to really spruce up her national anthem rendition at Super Bowl XLVI. It paid off as her powerful voice was perfectly backed by the choir and made for a straightforward performance that many wanted after Christina Aguilera's version the previous year.

With an all-white grand piano in front of her, Alicia Keys delivered one of the best national anthem performances in recent years at Super Bowl XLVII. Her jazz version was playful and powerful, bringing people out of their seats and provided the perfect preamble to the game.

You wouldn't think opera and the NFL would go together, but Renee Fleming gave the violent game a touch of class with her soprano-octave performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLVIII. Everyone wasn't rushing to see "Rigoletto" after hearing this rendition, but it was a haunting and beautiful version nonetheless.

Let it, go! Let it, go! Let it go to the Super Bowl! Accomplished Broadway singer Idina Menzel was coming off the success of her role in Disney's "Frozen" when she belted out the "Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XLIX. Unlike John Travolta, the announcers somehow got her name right.

Lady Gaga was more known for her meat suits and out-of-this-world costumes at this point, but she gave an elite vocal performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl 50. Like the NFL, Gaga took no L's that year.

The NFL went back to country music when it tapped Luke Bryan to perform the national anthem at Super Bowl LI. Like every country star before him, he delivered a more than adequate and straightforward performance.

It's not uncommon for performers to go out and do their job sick, but to do it in the Super Bowl when over 100 million eyes are on you is pretty awesome. Pink had her flu game moment at Super Bowl LII, valiantly singing the national anthem even while ill and having a throat lozenge in her mouth. It wasn't the best performance vocally, but it proved her toughness as an artist.

Donning a white gown, the Empress of Soul gave a national anthem performance that only she could provide. Her passionate performance connected with the audience, proving that seven Grammys don't lie.

Plenty of people raised their eyebrows when the NFL went with Demi Lovato to be the national anthem performer at Super Bowl LIV. She's more than accomplished with five People's Choice Awards and two Grammy nominations and she showed off that talent with a simple but booming rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner". And no, there was no evidence of auto-tuning.

For the first time since 2006, the Super Bowl had a national anthem duet. Instead of Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville, Super Bowl LV featured R&B star Jazmine Sullivan and country artist Eric Church performing the vocals—a mix of talent that made for a winning combination.

38-year-old country star Mickey Guyton sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, CA.
