Christina Aguilera National Anthem Effort: FAIL!
by Hilton Hater at .Poor Christina Aguilera.
The singer choked on the biggest stage of her career Sunday night, stepping to midfield prior to Super Bowl XLV and flubbing a lyric to the national anthem. Aguilera left out the words "O’er the ramparts we watched” and instead inserted “What so proudly we watched" in their place.
Watch the entire performance for yourself:
We really do feel bad for Christina, who has sung this iconic song in public on a number of occasions. Still, it was not the most embarrassing thing to happen to her this year.
UPDATE: Aguilera has released the following statement in response to the gaffe:
"I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”

All of the insults are totally unnecessary and only prove how immature you haters are. I understand that it was the national anthem and that there are a lot of patriotic people out there, but this is ridiculous. Making a mistake on the lyrics doesn't mean she hates America, was trying to disrespect the country, or any of the other judgmental things you people are saying. It was an honest mistake and it's not like that's a song we hear every day. No need to verbally go all Salem Witch Trials on her. For those of you who are saying she can't sing, you must be either tone deaf or just not used to singers with soul. Christina Aguilera is talented-she has a powerful, beautiful 6-octave voice and has been compared to the likes of Aretha Franklin and others. It's funny how people seem to love the autotuned, mediocre voices of singers like Britney Spears, Ke$ha, and others but you bitch and complain about the more talented singers like Christina.
Yes, Michelle, I'm sure you're a realchart-topper. Nobody cares Ok.
LMFAO she is so stupid how could you fuck it up it is so easy.
Can the next person to do the National Anthem do it right?? No moaning and groaning like you're having the best orgasm of your life. Just sing the song correctly, please.
Seems rehearsal isn't required anymore. Tragic for her that it happened before the largest tv crowd ever.
