Woah.

There are plenty of people out there who have tackled the national anthem over the years -- but few will have done it as memorably as this 7-year-old girl.

Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, whose Twitter account describes her as "singer, actor, model & anthem girl", won a competition to sing at the start of the LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders soccer match on Sunday.

Needless to say, she absolutely crushed it:

How is it possible to have such a powerful voice at the age of seven?

Ibrahimović was certainly impressed.

Tjandrawidjaja definitely has a bright future ahead of her.
