You’d think that when American Idol winner Scotty McCreery was invited to sing the National Anthem before the first game of the 2011 World Series Championship, the kid would’ve logged some pretty serious rehearsal time.

You’d think that.  But then you’d be wrong.

McCreery added his name to the long list of celebrity performers who’ve flubbed the lyrics to “The Star Spangled Banner” – including Christina Aguilera, Jesse McCartney and Michael Bolton - when he mis-sang the last verse of the song, ”Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave.” as ”No Jose does that Star Spangled banner yet wave”.

C’mon Scotty.  Everyone knows that Jose goes at the beginning of the song - Jose can you seeeeee!

To be fair, the National Anthem isn’t the easiest of songs and maybe the 18-year-old’s nerves got the best of him, but this is the first game of The World Series we’re talking about here – write the lyrics on your hand or something!

GOSH!
