I would explain why he was able to do that, but I would be called a racist.

You mean somebody sand it without turning it into a rap, hip hop, country, or Latino song, and didn't butcher it at all.

He'd be the minority, not the majority.  The AFC singer did well until the last part.

Enter Jose Feliciano.
Year 1968.
"Today, it is common to hear our National Anthem performed in a stylized fashion. Some renditions are clearly better than others, still sparking some criticism. You will, however, notice that it is very acceptable, indeed admirable, to deliver an intensely personal interpretation of The National Anthem. "


You will find things are much more acceptable now than they were then.
