Very sad that she sang it horrible but not knowing the lyrics! She should have lessons from this previous Super Bowl anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ETrr-XHBjE

The line on the total anthem length was 1 minute, 54 seconds, a figure that she was nearly exactly at, according to unofficial times.

I'd have guessed a time closer to 4:00 for an accomplished urban yodeler like her.

“Christina Aguilera’s national anthem at Super Bowl XLV was the subject of two popular prop bets”

We have fetshized sports in this country, ad absurdum.

Better get that gurl a teleprompter.

[Eepsy]

I thought the word was “bettors”? Or did I just pull that out of a hat?

[celtic gal]

I could not listen to all of this rendition. Apart from forgetting the words, I hate it when this national anthem or any of our other national hymns are all jived up.

[MinuteGal]

She also flatted or sharped out virtually every other note. It was a disgrace to our Anthem and to the honorable art of singing.

She belonged over on the Animal Channel singing for the Puppy Bowl. But then, that would be cruelty to animals.

She wins a position of distinction right along side of “Rosanne Barr”.

[apillar]

Well at least they didn't ask Roseanne to perform it. Speaking of Roseanne, her career sure has disappeared. I haven't heard anything out of her for years, a fact I'm eternally grateful for.

Glad I missed. Christina Aguilera assaulted Julianne Hough at the Golden Globes pre-show party. Don’t like her at all.

[SunkenCiv]

No picture yet.

Would it kill the NFL to get someone to sing the National Anthem who doesn’t suck?
