MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
The voice of a 40-pound, 7-year-old girl filled a Los Angeles soccer stadium on Sunday.
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
We'll let her introduce herself.
MALEA EMMA TJANDRAWIDJAJA: My name is Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja.
CORNISH: And she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." And this was her stunning finish.

MALEA: (Singing) The bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave?
KELLY: Wow. Seven-year-old Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja - and with that, how could the LA Galaxy not go on to beat the Seattle Sounders?
