"Now THAT is how you do a National Anthem," one viewer wrote. "Different artists. Different genres. Different styles. Blended... together to make one unified patriotic performance. (Also, REMARKABLY hard to sing as a duet in a stadium with the audio delay. Big props.)" Another added, "It appeared they actually SUNG it and did not pre-record it as so many others have done before them. It was interesting and different."

"Great to see and hear North Carolina's own [Church] help perform the National Anthem at the Super Bowl," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper tweeted. "Finally, they got someone good to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl! It wasn't over the top like it usually is in years past! (Though I might be a little biased since [Church] is my favorite Country singer)," another Church fan wrote.

"Holy.... [Church], that might just be the best rendition of the National Anthem that I've ever heard," another viewer wrote. "Thee JAZMINE SULLIVAN! Whoo, So effortlessly talented! One of the best National Anthem performances ever!" one fan wrote.

While some viewers enjoyed it, others questioned the pairing of the two performers. "Who in the world thought of that pairing? [Jazmine] by herself would have been perfect," one fan wrote. "That country guy didn't need to be here. He added too much so it made it not as good," another added.

"They worked hard to coordinate and make that a lovely rendition. Let's see more of those in [the] future," one viewer wrote. "Chills! I'd listen to this over and over, Y'all should sing another duet together," another viewer wrote.
