WATCH: Christina Aguilera Screws Up The National Anthem
Business Insider Sports Page ^ | January 6, 2011 | Dashiell Bennett

The biggest moment any singer can ask for: "The Star Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl. And Christina Aguilera messed up the lyrics. At about 51 seconds in, as she was about to sing the fourth line ("O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming"), she accidentally sang a hybrid of the second line: "What so proudly we watched, at the twilight's last streaming."

The only decent commercial I’ve seen so far is the Darth Vader kid and the Volkswagen. That was cute. All the others...BLECH!

I emailed the NFL:

Sir or Madam,

Once again, the so-called “singer” of Our National Anthem didn’t sing it as much as she yodeled it. To add insult to injury, she screwed up the lyrics.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Why don’t you simply have someone who knows the words and can sing the song as if it weren’t a LOUNGE ACT???

You have, once again, done a terrible disservice to any man or woman who has given life and limb to defend Our Flag.

Shame on you.

Yep, it was breathtakingly awful, and not just where she messed up the words.

Like a brontosaurus caught in the tar pits. The Black Eyed Peas don't sound much better.

The Cactus Cuties were returning home from Washington D.C., where they performed for President and Mrs. Bush at The White House, when they noticed a large group of soldiers waiting to be deployed to Iraq a few gates down from their own. The Cuties decided to sing a cappella for the troops right there in the terminal to show their support. Sgt. Major Allen introduced himself to The Cactus Cuties and invited them to hold a mini concert for the entire group of soldiers who would all be gathered at 2:00 pm to catch their flight overseas. The Cuties were honored to have the opportunity to show their love for the troops!! When they rushed back to their own gate after their mini concert, American Airlines had closed the doors and the Cactus Cuties and their entire party missed the flight to Lubbock!!! Half of The Cactus Cuties’ party was able to catch a later flight, but the other half had to catch a flight to Amarillo and drive the remaining 120 miles home. Even though it was a little out of the way, everyone agreed it was all worth it to show our appreciation and support to the soldiers who fight to give us all freedom to sing about!!!!! This was definitely the most meaningful layover the Cactus Cuties have ever had!!! Here’s The Cactus Cuties singing portions of Joy to the World, Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child, Think, and Children of America in the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

Here's Christina singing the National Anthem at the age of 11, and frankly, the other posts of other people singing had much more talent.

Her singing begins at 0:52.
