About Alicia Keys ' version . . . According to noted anthem expert David Barron , Alicia Keys ' version clocked in at 156 . 4 seconds . That beats the previous length record at the Super Bowl , which was held by Natalie Cole ' s 152 second performance in 1994 . This shattered it . Looks like I was good in taking the over . <| sep |> As somebody who holds a salute during the anthem on occasion , a slow singer is not fun for the shoulder . but she is killing it <| sep |> I thought it said can ' t , got confused there by the ' t '. My bad . This ones on me . There were just a lot of other dudes here that said it wasn ' t a cross when it very obviously is . <| sep |> What is she singing ? <| sep |> Maybe just me but I find my fullbacks are getting carded really easy . No matter what formation or tactic I use . Anytime I see they get a yellow I take them off immediately because I know they ' ll get a second .
