Super-Bowl-2011-Official-Logo

Well it was an awesome Super Bowl! The Packers beat the Steelers 31-25. I know there are a lot of Steelers fans out there, but I for one was happy that the Packers won. It was such an amazing game! In fact, it was so exciting, that I didn’t fall asleep once from a food coma! That’s pretty damn good for me.

Anyway, let’s get on with what’s really important. The fact that Christina Aguilera screwed up the lines to the National Anthem. I know it wasn’t THAT big of a deal, especially compared to Nipplegate 2004…but it was something to write about this Monday morning. At least she pulled it off well…ish. She sang as if she were singing the correct lyrics.

Here’s what she missed: “O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?” And instead sang, “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last reaming?”

Here it is in case you missed it:

    I feel bad for her. She knows the song. She has sang it at umpteen other sporting events and championships. To me it looked like she was starting to sing a different line and had to recover quickly. In other words, brain fart.

    “Last reaming”? Someone was partying a bit too hard Saturday night.

    She is (ostensibly) a professional who got paid an exhoribant amount to come in and sing one song…the NATIONAL ANTHEM. A song that small children have memorized. And she screwed it up. They should make her give part of her paycheck back.

    Yay Packers!!!!!!

    Eh, it doesn’t excuse her mistake, but she is not the first person to mess up singing the National Anthem at an event.

    The talent does not get paid to sing the national anthem. They are paid in the 90 million sets of eye balls that are watching them botch the words to the song.

    I was returning from Dallas yesterday morning and there was a former Redskin in the rental car shuttle with me. His jacket said Redskin Alumni and he was wearing a big honkin’ gold ring with diamonds in it. Apparently he wasn’t going to the game either. Anywho, it didn’t occur to me until later that maybe he knows Michaele Salahi. Her being a Redskinette Alum.

    I can’t stand the way this chick oversings everything. She’s been a mess lately, so her poor performance is not unexpected.

    @2muchbravo–damn!!! I so wish you could have asked! I probably wouldn’t have remember either. I know they won’t be back on DC, but I still hate Michaele and Tareq!!

    With all due respect, I believe that The Star Spangled Banner is the most difficult thing ever! I can even pronounce the name right, I can’t imagine singing it by myself in front of a gazillion of people.

    Val, the Star Spangled Banner TUNE is one of the most difficult (and I’ve heard this said from a member of the Cleveland Orchestra Choir). Someone w/her vocal range (& experience) should have no problems, going up & down the scale so much.

    Doesn’t matter, she f’d that up too, trying to stick too many tones into each note.

    I could care less about football, Black Eyed Peas, or Aguilera, but I’m happy the Packers won just so I can say, “WHOOOHOOOO!!!! The Packers won the Super Bowl!” Just like in my favorite MST3K episode “Giant Spider Invasion.”

    I didn’t even notice she had flubbed the lines until afterwards, when someone else pointed it out to me. I was too busy wishing she would quit the (useless and offkey) vocal gymnastics and just sing the damn song.

    This isn’t the first time she’s sung the national anthem in public. She doesn’t have an excuse as far as I’m concerned.
