Since Zayn Malik left One Direction in March, the boy band has continued on tour without him. And according to Harry Styles, these have been some of the best show's they've ever had.

Speaking with EW, Styles said, "There have been incredible shows across Europe. Some of the best we’ve had! So we’re super excited about coming to America."

Styles explained how the rest of the group has been picking up Mailk's parts and "other than that, the shows have been going absolutely great."

On "Story of My Life," for instance, which previously featured a big solo by Malik, he said Liam Payne has stepped up for those high notes. Styles said, "He kicks them in the bollocks every show. He doesn’t hold back."

In early June, Carlos Santana became a trending topic on twitter thanks to his incredibly cool, instrumental rock version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the NBA final, with wife Cindy Blackman Santana killing it on drums.

As it turns out, Latin artists have been delivering extraordinary -- and sometimes groundbreaking -- renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" for quite a while. It started back in 1968 with José Feliciano's mind-blowing, bluesy version before Game 5 of the World Series at Detroit's Tiger Stadium. It sounded nothing like the National Anthem anyone had heard before and unleashed a maelstrom of controversy, with many radio stations banning Feliciano's music.

"There was nothing wrong with what I did," Feliciano said in an interview years later. "Now everybody sings the national anthem the way they want. At that time, nobody sang the national anthem with soul or heart. And I said, the hell with it, I'm going to do something different.''

Just two years ago, after a glorious rendition of "God Bless America" during an all-star MLB game in Citi Field, Marc Anthony got lambasted by critics who objected to his being an "undocumented immigrant." As Anthony would later clarify, he is born and raised in New York and has actually performed both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America" dozens of times. This particular rendition from a Miami Heat game in 2012, earned raved reviews from posters who called it the “best rendition ever.”

And of course, Latin queen Gloria Estefan has had her share of renditions, like this one at Walt Disney World in 2007.

And how about this endearing -- and excellent -- version by a just-starting Fifth Harmony at a 2013 Service Master 200 race?

She also posted an image of her friends riding inflatable swans, flamingos and more, recalling a photo from some weeks back where her and Harris were floating in a pool on a giant swan. 

Yes, it's only July 3, but there's apparently no reason not to start the party early.
