I want to make three things clear right off the bat with this post: I’m a man; I’m 30; and I’m a big fan of Kelly Clarkson.

All Chicago sports fans and most Midwest sports fans are aware of just how incredible Cornelison’s singing of the National Anthem is. If you somehow missed this yesterday, have a listen:
