All you have to do is check social media to see what fans thought of Jordin Sparks singing the national anthem before Sunday's Vikings-Packers game at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The common opinion is that Sparks killed it. If you missed it, here's what she sounded like inside the stadium.

Sunday wasn't Sparks' first rodeo. She sang the national anthem before the Super Bowl in 2008, killing it then as well.
