yes, it is intimidating to sing before thousands of people. Not "signing" like val put it - spellcheck you idiot. But what is the difference between the superbowl and singing for one of your concerts? The National Anthem is a song that everyone learns in elementary school. The vocal gymnastics that people now think are necessary to sing EVERYTHING are NOT necessary - sing the damn song straight and keep it American. I like Christina, but she botched it and she should be ashamed of herself.

Christina Aguilera? I turned the channel when I saw that Morticia Addams was singing the anthem. I saw that train wreck coming a mile away. Poor choice. She belongs on American Idol.

The big loser in last night's game was The Star Spangled Banner!!!

As a professional performer who has ALSO been onstage in front of thousands, I submit that if she had focused more on the words and less on musically masturbating every note in the melody, perhaps she would have done a LOT better.

Did she sing a song... Yes, did she do it her way... Yes, is it a little just as ridiculous to ask questions and then answer them yourself in one's own post... you betcha... who cares
