5. Mandy Moore

Voicing the animated pop-tart Tabitha Vixx on The Simpsons, Mandy Moore sings the National Anthem’s often-ignored “Trouble-listic” verses added by Britney Scott Key, Francis’s sister.

4. Enrico Pallazzo

Pallazzo’s operatic training and unusual phrasing were impressive, but perhaps even more so was his ability to simultaneously umpire, save the queen, and Presley his Priscilla all night long.

3. Alanis Morrisette

Serving up Steven Tyler realness, Uncle Joey’s ex gets red, white and blue props for seamlessly integrating the “go down on you in a theater” line in without anyone noticing.

2. Marvin Gaye

The “Let’s Get It On” legend turns the National Anthem into a silky, baby-making jam. Martha Washington would approve.

1. Yoko Ono

God bless America!!

(NOTE: So this it technically Yoko doing a performance art piece while some YouTube user slapped a piano rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” underneath it. But we’re including anyway, because it’s got our fireworks shooting all over the place regardless.)
