BP Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgxA3Aus8jY 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." Like a professional, she seemed to know that she messed up, but kept going to the end.

kelticwizard Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Love these "artists" that feel familiar enough with the song to hack it up with shouts, trills and all sorts of gimmicks, but don't feel familiar enough with the song to actually learn the lyrics. If you are going to do a unique rendition of the national anthem, such as the one done by Marvin Gaye at the NBA All-Star game years ago, then put some effort and thought into it, as Gaye did. These supposed stylists want to be thought of as unique, but they really are just throwing up some fake vocal tricks and expecting us to buy it.

The Walmart demographic has been fooled into thinking that hiccuping your way through a song, while holding one hand up to your ear = muzical geniuz diva extraordinaire. Admittedly, I get goosebumps and hold back tears of pride EVERY time I hear the National Anthem, however yesterday, was one of the first times this didn't happen for me. I feel like she stole something from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Those outfits were absurdly stupid. They were all dressed like Dynamo from The Running Man. YES! All that was missing was Roger Goodell handing the winning fan in section 309 row 19 seat 5 a flat box, giving her a creepy unwanted kiss, and saying, "Here y'go ma little darlin' -- The NFL Home Game." Which is apparently where he and many owners seem to want people to watch anyway. Home, or in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 They never learn their lesson. This has happened several times with female pop singers. Here's an idea, next time don't get a female pop singer to do it. Why didn't they just have Faith Hill do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
