On April 23, Bates Elementary School in Louisville, Kentucky, shared a video on social media of a nine-year-old boy named DCorey Johnson belting out The National Anthem.

Johnson held the school's phone mouthpiece (loudspeaker) over his ear as though he wanted to make the morning announcements. However, he gave the announcements a massive upgrade with his performance.

If that happens, Johnson will join a famed list of superstars and celebrities to have belted out stunning renditions of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl.

The American National Anthem is over 200 years old. The anthem, also known as "The Star-Spangled Banner," was written by Francis Scott Key during the Battle of Fort McHenry in Baltimore on September 14, 2014, before it was later declared as the country's national anthem.
