What Happened Christina?

Well, as you obviously can see, the Super bowl is still on my mind. But now I'm thinking more about the music played there. The Black Eyed Peas added a little spin to one of their song, but more on that later. Right now I am focusing on a certain singer's mistake. Christina Aguilera made a blunder in the words of the Star Spangled Banner. Now I find it very disrespectful of a person to flub the national anthem, ecspecailly on a national stage like that. Now what exactly did she do? Well, at the line "What's so proudly we hailed at the.." Christina substituted "What's so proudly we watched at the..." One word made the whole thing sound different. On to the next mistake. She also skipped a line. Yes, a whole line. "O'er the ramparts we watched" was sadly not there. I personally feel she was more interested on waving her childish wave instead of remembering the words. Being "cute" is less important than memorizing your words. If she was not who she was and a child or un-discovered artist, i would understand breaking down under pressure, but having won an Emmy, she is very comfortable on stage. This was clearly an act of incompetence.

I agree, Aparna. She was not very good.
