Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, sings 'America the Beautiful' as he campaigns at Lake Sumter Landing, The Villages, Fla., Monday.

First Herman Cain, then Barack Obama. On the eve of the Florida primary, it was Mitt Romney鈥檚 turn to break out in song before a crowd of voters.

Usually, Mr. Romney recites the words to 鈥America the Beautiful鈥 in his stump speech. But on Monday night, at a rally in The Villages, a big central Florida retirement community, Romney added the tune 鈥 and the crowd joined in. Perhaps he was feeling extra chuffed, what with the polls predicting a big victory here on Tuesday.

But if this were "American Idol," Romney might have something to worry about. And he should be grateful Mr. Cain is out of the race. Cain, the former pizza mogul, wowed his audience back in October with a rousing rendition of 鈥淚magine There鈥檚 no Pizza鈥 to the tune of John Lennon鈥檚 鈥淚magine.鈥 And who can forget President Obama giving us a few enticing lines of Al Green鈥檚 鈥淟et鈥檚 Stay Together鈥 a couple of weeks ago?

Romney, at least, gave it the old college try. See for yourself.
