You may not care for a second to see the New York Giants face the New England Patriots at Sunday’s Super Bowl XLII. But, if you’re a fan of American Idol, you may want to tune in for the pre-game festivities.

Jordin Sparks, the reigning American Idol, will perform the National Anthem at Sunday’s game, which is in her home state of Arizona. The game is schedule to start at 5:30 p.m. (CST).

Jordin joins a list of big-hit superstars who have taken the microphone to sing the Anthem at previous Super Bowl events. That list includes Diana Ross, Whitney Houston and Vanessa Williams.
