I have no words...apparently neither did he.
I actually know all the words to our national anthem, but I'm curious to know if most others do. So fess up, if you were in Jesse McCartney's shoes would you sing the song correctly?

Dude. I love you.
I know the words, but I don't have the voice for it, because the tune's more difficult than most people realize. My ability to "carry a tune" really makes singing the Star Spangled Banner publicly a hazard.
That's why I keep the Mister around. He has no dignity.
