That happens when you try to make a 5 minute rendition out of the song. Sing it, get off the fucking field, and let them play the damn game.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
Christina Aguilera flubbed a line as she belted out the national anthem at the start of the Super Bowl Sunday night.
When she was supposed to sing the line "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," she instead repeated an earlier line, with a slight variation.
She sang "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming," which is the same line from earlier in the song but with the word 'watched' instead of the word 'hailed.'
The mistake immediately set social networks abuzz with people commenting on the error.
Aguilera's representative did not immediately return a call and e-mail seeking comment.

No shit.
The sad part is, she has a very nice voice and could have done a beautiful job.
How 'bout that chick who sang America? WTF was with that. I pretty much decided after watching Ray Charles sing it during a super bowl a while back, that no one should ever attempt to sing it again as they will never, ever come close to the genius of soul.

The world would be a better place if the Black Eyed Peas were subjected to enhanced interrogation and extraordinary rendition. Christ, that was fucking pathetic.

I'm sick and fucking tired of national stage National Anthem opportunities being chances for shitbag, washed up celebrities to rejuvenate their careers. Aguleria? What the fuck has she been doing in the last 10 years other than sucking dick and being awful? I thought she was dead.
Pro sports leagues also need to stop feeling obligated to have God Bless America sung. It's become nothing more than the same reason why GOPers are so big on wearing the flag lapel pins: They are nothing more than lazy, empty gestures that require little effort.

My local paper today quoted her as singing "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last
reaming".

looks like i have to rack screwey, again.
rack.
never thought i'd ever do that twce in a day.
WTF is it with the BEPs and the SB. They have gotten run there before.
Apparently, the NFL mensas seem to think that rolling these fukkers out increases their fan base.
It doesn't. It just ensures that the SB 1/2 time show will have the ratings of MSNBC.
I wish MTV or whoeverthefukk it was would roll out celebrity death match like they used to during 1/2 time.
