Kiley Dean will sing the national anthem at the Pro Bowl, replacing JC Chasez of 'N Sync, who pulled out in a dispute with the NFL.
The 21-year-old R&B singer from Orlando, Fla., will perform before the annual all-star game Sunday in Honolulu, Pro Bowl spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
The NFL had asked Chasez to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" after removing him from the halftime show out of concern that some of his lyrics may be too suggestive.

The league said it was being extra cautious following the Super Bowl halftime show in which Chasez's bandmate, Justin Timberlake, ripped off a piece of Janet Jackson's top and exposed her right breast.
