Instead of singing the lyrics “O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming,” Xtina sang the line “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last gleaming.”
Aguilera’s representatives sent Speakeasy this statement from the singer: “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.”

She wasn’t nearly as bad as that horrendous halftime show.

Good thing she wasn’t trying out for ‘American Idol’. Butcher the lyrics on that show, and it is ‘goodbye’...

Christine and the Black Eyed Pea's were a microcosm of 1600 Penn.All glitz and messing up all the basics. Maybe a turning point for America now that they see it even it the entertainment.

Afghanistan is preparing to hang a man for becoming a Christian.
I hope that can get 1/100th of the attention that the Super Bowl has.

It’s what they get when they ask a pop idol to sing the National Anthem (IMHO).

If she tried out for America’s Got Talent, she’d make it to the finals.

I was reminded of that scene from a skating rink in New Jersey, where the audience pitched in when the mike went dead on a little girl singing - I believe it was “God Bless America”? The picked up for her and finished the song. It was touching.
In this instance, it was embarrassing. I cringed. You’d think when you have biggest audience you are ever going to have in your entire career, you’d try to get it right.

By all means. The thread I linked to has numbers for the White House switchboard.
Maybe you can ask Obama to investigate the Super Bowl and if he has any time, stop the killing of a Christian in Afghanistan.

I was more shocked at her ragged appearance. Rode hard, put away wet.
