Singing the Star Spangled Banner at any event is a huge honor. The National Anthem is a symbol of all the good things our country stands for, regardless of how one might feel about the current state of the nation.

From little league baseball games to the biggest, most over-the-top NFL games, every rendition of the national anthem is special.

When one little girl named Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja took centerfield at StubHub Center in California for an LA Galaxy game, no one could have possibly been prepared for the treat that they were about to experience.

When she opens her mouth, everyone is completely shocked. She may only be seven years old, but she’s got the voice of someone triple her age!

The amount of control she has over her voice is better than what the vast majority of adults can accomplish. But what might be the most captivating part of her performance is the energy she brings to it. You can tell she’s going to go places because of how much passion she puts into her performance.

When the camera pans back to the LA Galaxy players, there’s one who is completely entranced by Malea Emma and her spirited performance. You can tell that this is just what he needed to play an awesome game. There’s nothing like a ton of good energy before a big game to ensure a win.
