You know what day it is, right? That day that Madonna is performing on national TV! (And we hear some guys might be playing football, or something.) But as we await Madge and her plethora of special guests (reportedly including Nicki Minaj, LMFAO, M.I.A., and Cee Lo Green) there’s one more major artist making an appearance — Kelly Clarkson, tapped for the honor of performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl XLVI. Needless to say, the forgiving songbird sounded great and, as a bonus, remembered all the words! In football terms, we call this performance a touchdown. Watch it below.
Was Kelly’s Super Bowl anthem better than Christina Aguilera’s last year? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.






















Thats how its done!!!!!!!!!!! Love you Kelly! You have made us all proud!
I was very impressed with Kelly’s performance. She was flawless. You rock Kelly!
She was the only reason I watched! Can’t wait to see her in a few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best if not the best Super Bowl national anthem performances ever. Kelly rocked it, showed the world how it’s done. Go KC!!!
great job
she made it her own without making it annoying
it would have been funny if madonna was asked to do the national anthem she would have lip synched it and hid it under extravagant production
Kelly was absolutely fantastic! truly perfect.
