\n\tCharlie Puth has spoken out<\/a> against critics who claim that he isn\u2019t the best choice to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n \n\tOn Sunday, the singer-songwriter was announced as a performer for Super Bowl LX in February alongside Coco Jones and Brandi Carlile, who will sing \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing\u201d and \u201cAmerica the Beautiful,\u201d respectively. But some on social media were quick to criticize Puth\u2019s booking, including one who elicited a response from Puth himself.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMan we\u2019ve fallen from when Whitney Houston sang at the Super Bowl,\u201d wrote one X user, referring to the late singer\u2019s iconic rendition of the song in 1991. \u201cCharlie Puth<\/a>? He\u2019s not gonna give us vocals I\u2019m afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPuth was quick to respond, quoting the tweet and stating, \u201cI\u2019ll never claim to be as good of a singer as Whitney Houston ever was. But I assure you we\u2019re putting a really special arrangement together- in D major. It\u2019ll be one of my best vocal performances.\u201d<\/p>\n
