Super Bowl 2011 National Anthem Singer: Christina Aguilera Fail (VIDEO)

Awkward moment during national anthem

Christina Aguilera goofs up the national anthem

Perhaps she was too concerned with breaking Patti LaBelle's record for turning single-syllable words into entire paragraphs during the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner," but noted ex-teen queen Christina Aguilera botched the national anthem something fierce before the Super Bowl. Aguilera started out all right, but she had a problem with the ramparts -- specifically, the "O'er the ramparts we watched" line, which she left out altogether.
Aguilera tried to make up for it by combining two lines -- "What so proudly we watched," instead of "What so proudly we hailed", but let's just say that it was too late to reverse the error. Twitter blew up, and all Aguilera could do was to oversing every word from there on out, which she most certainly did.

Christina Aguilera and National Anthem

Christina Aguilera to Belt National Anthem at Super Bowl

*Before the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl on Feb 6, Christina Aguilera will take care of the national anthem, Fox television and the National Football League announced on Monday.
“I have been performing the anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true,” the five-time Grammy award winning singer-songwriter said in a statement. “I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event.”
Aguilera, who made her movie debut in December as the star of the musical “Burlesque” previously performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2000.
The performers at this year’s halftime show will be The Black Eyed Peas.

Aguilera repeats line of national anthem

Early on in her performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner," instead of singing "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," Aguilera sang "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming."
Aguilera's representatives sent a statement to The Wall Street Journal explaining her fumble.
"I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place," the statement read.
"I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."
In a Jan. 24 statement when it was confirmed that she would sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, Aguilera said, "I have been performing the anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true."

Grammy-winning singer Christina Aguilera said Sunday she "got caught up in the moment" while singing the national anthem before play began at Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Tex., — leading to her singing the wrong lyrics.

Where Are They Now? Disney Stars

Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears & Hilary Duff are a few young stars who got career help from the Mouse House. See how their careers changed after leaving Disney.

Don't fret for Miley Cyrus. Though Disney has pulled the plug on "Hannah Montana," the studio's child stars often grow into successful adult entertainers. Witness an Oscar-nominated actor and the last decade's top-selling female recording artist. Here's what's up with 20 ex-Disney stars. As for Cyrus, she's filming her next movie.
Zac Efron

Now: After hit films in which he switched bodies with Matthew Perry and played opposite John Travolta in drag, Efron is a movie star.
Lindsay Lohan

Then: At 12, Lohan found fame as freckle-faced star of a hit Disney film, a remake of this pic. As an adult, the actress has struggled with sobriety and the law .
