Okay, so Christina Aguilera did a lyrical switch-up while performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
But let’s think back to happier times, when she belted out “The Star-Spangled Banner” at both Game 6 and Game 7 of the NBA finals last summer.
See? She DOES know the words!
As she said in a statement, last night was just a fluke.
“I got so lost in the moment of the song that I lost my place,” the 30-year-old singer told CNN. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of it’s anthem still came through.”

People are so quick to critique someone. However not many people can sing the National Anthem, and I don’t care that there were a few words flubbed. Because the girl sang the song with such strength and intensity that she blew it away. I am an Army Wife whos husband was about to deploy, and when she sang the National Anthem we were both in tears!…The girl can blow. Not one pop star I can think of could have made one of America’s heros come to tears like she did that day.
