Oh no Christina!

"I have been performing the Anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true," ... "I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event." Christina Aguilera talking about singing at this years Super Bowl.
I like 2 things about the Super Bowl 1) The Half Time show and 2) hearing a crazy version of the US National Anthem. Most times I am never disappointed. This year is no exception.

Christina Augilera who for some reason keeps getting asked to perform at things. In the past year her album flopped, her tour was canceled, not even Cher could save her movie Burlesque and now she was chosen to sing the anthem. I couldn't wait!

This may have been the best /worst performance ever! I made a bet to see how long she could extend the anthem. It should be about 1 min and 5 to 10 seconds. I put my money on her version being at least 1:47. She clocked in at 1:54. What was the real problem was that she messed up the word. No extended high notes could save that.
She sang (or screamed ) "What so proudly we watched at the twilight last reaming" Instead of "O'er the ramparts we watched."
It was so bad  that for a time she replaced Egypt for twitter trending list.

This was better then I could have imaged. Did nobody tell this poor girl that you can pre-record your version, you know so its right. Oh Xtina you did not disappoint.

Up next the Black Eye Peas for the Half Time Show.

"Why didn't I pre-record this"
