Pure, absolute un-American assault on all that is good about our country. There can be NO excuse for that crap. My kids can sing it better and more reverently than that moron. Between her trashing the National Anthem and that hideous half-time show, it’s becoming more and more attractive to watch the Puppy Bowl.
The power-to-be at the head of the NFL should be fired . . . this madness continues year after year.
I’m waiting for a rock and roll concert to have a football game during intermission, just to have it all make sense.
Shame on the NFL for continuing to drown us in such crap during half times of all playoff and championship games.
Worst Rendition of the National Anthem Ever.
She ought to be forbidden to appear on national TV after that hideous performance.
The National Anthem before sporting events has become nothing more than a "Look at me!" moment of promoting narcissistic nitwits. And that includes Whitney Houston's version after 9-11, which far too many people hail as wonderful.
Why is it that nobody ever "personalizes" O Canada or God Save the Queen or any other country's National Anthem?
Just have a band play it or pipe the music over the loudspeakers and have the crowd sing it.
Even FNC this morning had a "singer" do her version of the Anthem. I can't hit the mute button fast enough.
Last night was my best Super Bowl ever!
I watched a movie until about 8 while recording the SB. Then I watched and fast forwarded through the BS of Sideline interviews, network promos, Christeen Aguileria's debacle (Hey, if she can eff up the National Anthem, I'll eff up her name - I had no idea she even screwed up until I heard the news this AM) and the halftime stupidity on parade show.
I watched the commercials because they are usually very good for the SB. And did I ever regret watching the Doritos commercial. BLEECH! AND - the team I wanted won!
If she had gone to an American school, she’d have had the lines burned into her memory.
......oh, wait.
That’s what happens when you get a pop culture idol instead of real professional singer to sign the National Anthem. Besides, she was dressed like a Times Square Hooker.
Sorry Aquilera, I can;t imagine ANYONE who REALLY knows the song to screw up like you did. Its a rough song to sing, but at least get the damn words right. Besides, there are several more verse the unwashed masses tend to forget:

THANKS A MARINE!! Maybe they should have had HIM sing the song!!!
Her voice was awful, her botching of the lyrics was unforgivable and her physical appearance was frightning...
That just about covers it....
I thought she did a great job, it was very moving.
You can see it here, I thought it was terrific

That woman was a disaster. She can’t sing and she doesn’t even know the words.
She was just honoring BOzo who thinks there are 57 states.
ML/NJ
And its not like she never sang it before.She first became prominent because she used to sing the the anthems at Penguins games back in Pittsburgh when she was a wee little girl
Is it just me, or is she beginning to look a lot like Cindy Lauper?
Mean one that I am, I hope she carries this with her for a loooooong time. If she was not concentrating on ‘HER’ rendition, rather than the Anthem itself, it might not have happened.
I just hope that the powers who select these ?singers? have learned a lesson. Forget the pop stuff and give us a Marine Band. Bet the applause would be the greatest ever.
