This weekend Eric Church will sing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LV. Jay Demarcus of Rascal Flatts says singing that song is “one of the most difficult.”

Eric will be joined by R&B star Jazmine Sullivan to sing the National Anthem prior to the start of the big game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs.

Jay knows what Eric is going to go through this weekend in Tampa Bay at the Super Bowl. Jay says that the National Anthem is not easy to sing at all…

“It’s one of the most difficult songs to perform period. And not just because of the high-pressure situation that you’re thrust into when you have to do it. Range wise it starts really low and gets really high toward the end of it. So you have kind of a conundrum if you start it too high then you’re going to be extraordinarily high by the end of the song. So, most of the times, I have to be honest, you just kind of have to blackout and put yourself in a different situation before you do the anthem.”

Who do you think has performed the National Anthem the best that you have seen?
