‘American Idol’ winner Kelly Clarkson sang the Star Spangled Banner flawlessly at last night’s opening of the 2012 Super Bowl Game XXVI between the New England Patriots and New York Giants.

Clarkson’s performance comes in stark contrast to other well-know performers who have messed up America’s National Anthem such as Stephen Tyler, Christina Aguilera, and Lauren Alaina.

Clarkson saw her record sales climb immediately after she endorsed Texas Congressman Ron Paul for the 2012 Presidential election last December.

Clarkson has continued her singer-songwriter career since winning ‘American Idol.’  She released  her fifth album titled ‘Stronger’ in October 2011.
