What a ridiculous thing to say

The National Anthem is one of the most cherished and valued songs of our nation, it's a huge honor to be asked to sing it on such a huge platform. It's a song that's not about the performer. Being asked to do it means they have faith that you'll not only do it justice, but go above and beyond and give it a fantastic job. People take it very seriously and want it to be respected, which is why people have been crucified when they mess it up (Christina, for example). It's a huge honor.
