Maybe you can chalk it up to nerves, but at the NASCAR Pepsi 500 in Fontana, Calif., Jesse McCartney showed an utter lack of patriotism - or just brain cells - when he forgot an entire verse of our national anthem, leaving onlookers confused.
You could call him the Star Spangled Spoiler ... or something actually funny.
Sure, our interns might have done the same, but it's pretty bad for an alleged singer. Who are we kidding, our interns could do better - and they're really not smart.
Fortunately, Jesse dated Melrose Place star Katie Cassidy and hooked up with Aubrey O'Day and Hayden Panettiere, so it's not likely to hurt his game with the ladies.

Icon Aretha Franklin forgot the words as have others. Barbara Streisand has such a case of the nerves that she uses a teleprompter for ALL her songs; ones she’s sung for decades. Frank Sinatra used one too. Who cares? Jesse has an awesome voice and did the song justice; ending very strong! It is a hard song to sing with verses written a long time ago. Like trying to sing Shakespere. This young man gives of himself and is from a strong family. It’s actually nice to know that a performer can still get nerves and isn’t just phoning in performances. I am a NASCAR fan and saw it. No biggie. I actually got a laugh when the camera scanned Juan Pablo Montoya and there was this dead-pan expression.
