Naturally, after the scandal that arose after the last big singing of the national anthem, there were some jokes on Twitter:
"Alicia Keys is laying it on a little thick here." -- Beyoncé #SuperBowl47

There were also a couple of critiques of her being, well, boring:
J. Hud: range, power, defiance, slight instability; Alicia: precision, smoothness, calculation, zzzzz

I can't believe they cut Jay-Z's verse from the National Anthem. Alicia's version sucks without him.
