Poor Christina Aguilera – I kinda feel bad for her. While performing on the biggest stage of her career before the start of Super Bowl XLV, she flubbed the lyrics to The Star-Spangled Banner!
How? Instead of “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming,” Aguilera belted out, “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last reaming.” That line was a repeat of one she had just sang, but with the word “gleaming” being replaced by “reaming.” Poor girl. At least she sounded amazing.
After she got lots of flack via Twitter for her mistakes, she responded in a statement: “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”day night, stepping to midfield prior to and flubbing a lyric to the national anthem. Aguilera left out the words “O’er the ramparts we watched” and instead inserted “What so proudly we watched” in their place.
