CLEVELAND (WEWS) - Some websites are calling an 11-year-old's rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner the worst, ever.

Harper Gruzins of Texas, belted the Star-Spangled Banner before a Major League Soccer match Saturday night.

But it didn't quite go as planned.

In fact, some websites are calling it the worst rendition -- ever.

We don't think it's so bad but have a listen for yourself:

Crowd reaction while Harper was singing, and the looks on the faces of players, indicated they weren't enjoying the version, many looking like they were in pain.

The young girl admitted to the media outlet it wasn't her "best" performance because she couldn't hear herself sing. "The blowing horns got me off key. But God allowed this to happen so I know it's what He wants. I wouldn't change it."

Despite the voice of Harper sounding nothing like the angelic Whitney Houston, at least she got all the words right!

By the way, the L.A. Galaxy defeated FC Dallas 1-0.
