Brian McKnight really had a lot of people impressed with his rendition of the national anthem on Saturday night. 

The NFC Wild Card game is underway on Saturday afternoon between the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals, however before the game got started, music sensation Brian McKnight took the time to steal the show.

Before things got kicked off he took the microphone and he belted out one of the better renditions of the national anthem that we have heard in quite some time at a sporting event.

Nowadays it’s hard to please everyone with a national anthem because, quite frankly, a lot of these high-profile musicians butcher the great song to all hell. But, this was not the case on Saturday. No, a lot of people were very moved at what their ears had just heard.


Well done, Mr. McKnight.
