Christina Aguilera messes up the National Anthem lyrics at the Superbowl

12,104 277 February 6, 2011 at 05:51 PM in Sad (2)
Does anyone else think she looked a little drunk/high? She definitely looked a little off.

Linky [radaronline.com]

"The first big goof of the Super Bowl was not committed by the Green Bay Packers or Pittsburgh Steelers. No, credit the first mistake to Christina Aguilera who botched the lyrics to the national anthem!

Sure the players were nervous as the success of an entire season came down to 60 minutes of football. But Aguilera recently stated she's been singing the national anthem since she was a little girl – so no one expected her to goof!

The singer's mistake happened on the fourth line, which should have been: "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?" Instead, Christina sang: "What so proudly we (garbled) at the twilight's last gleaming."

Believe it, everyone, because it will live forever on video!"

Quote from Thrifteh :
Iagree she has talent and a gift. Take a listen to her CD Mi Reflejo. Amazing! My daughter prefers her Spanish songs over her mainstream music.

I think many are hung up on how she's a professional singer and shouldn't forget the lyrics when performing, whether it be in front of 100 or 100 million people. Meh.
El Beso Del Final is a great song, probably my favorite by her. I think a lot of people have never even really been exposed to some of the songs that really show off her vocals. It's not like "Dirrty" takes a ton of vocal talent.

Quote from Kabn :
talk to Bill Buckner about people forgetting about mistakes in big games. Big Grin
But that's exactly the point, Buckner was a solid fielder and a decent ballplayer his whole career. How does one error change that? Just because some idiotic Sawx fans hold it against him to this day doesn't make it right. And btw: Buckner came back to the Red Sox years later and got a standing ovation at Fenway, because it was understood that how badly he was treated in the aftermath of that error was unfair.

PS- and this is coming from a Mets fan that owns a Buckner Red Sox jersey to irk all of Boston, it would be easy for me to laugh at Buckner and call him worthless. But it's not true.

Gift? laugh out loud Yeah, I received some low-fat candy as a stocking-stuffer one year. That was technically a "gift", too, about on the level with Aguilera's voice.
harharhar, so clever. Hating on her voice is doing nothing but making yourself look laughably ignorant. I'm not even arguing with you at this point, I'm just marveling at how clueless you are.

Her type of music is not my cup o' tea, however, when I hear her sing, I am able to recognize talent.

I hear ignorance is bliss. Roll

laugh out loud If you say so. I still say her voice is the auditory equivalent of shit in a blender.

Oh, not at all. The gift-giver was just a stupid asshole who did low-fat everything. Thanksgiving? Low-fat pumpkin pie (made with Spelnda) with fat-free Cool Whip.

shhaggy is like the public defender who has to argue the side of the case that nobody wants and OwenKealy is like the overzealous district attorney who is ready to flip the switch on the electric chair the minute the police have a suspect. laugh out loud

Saying CA has an incredible voice is hardly the side that "nobody wants". Some are biased i the aftermath of a gaffe last night, but don't get it twisted, she still had millions of fans and even if you don't like her music, you'd have to be pretty darn biased to think she doesn't have a good voice.

You are missing the big picture. I was referring to your nonstop barrage of arguments that always seem to for no purpose except for the desire to argue. Sometimes it is fun to make up posts just to see what your next contradiction will be. laugh out loud

Oh, yea I do that. Life would be boring if somebody didn't dissent. I don't contradict myself though. I just change my mind from time to time.
