'Chewbacca Mom' Proves She's Got The X Factor By Bossing The National Anthem

Is the Chewbacca mum through to boot camp or brought Cheryl Cole to tears yet? 'Cause if not, I'm gonna riot in the fucking streets.

Yep, it turns out not only can this American mum brighten up everyone's day by simply becoming hysterical over a child's toy mask, she can also nail 'The Star Spangled Banner' like there's no tomorrow.

Check out this video of Candace Payne performing the national anthem at an Astros vs. Mariners baseball game this week and see if you don't find yourself applying for a US visa by the end of it. Go on, I dare you.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Jimi Hendrix shredding the national anthem at Woodstock will forever remain the best rendition, but this is still liquid singing.
