Christina Aguilera Singing ‘Star-Spangled Banner’
Superbowl XVL started off with it’s usual football game procedure, beginning with an acapella performance of the national anthem by a well-known and recognized vocal recording artist. This year’s rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner” was done by pop singer Christina Aguilera. The “Genie In A Bottle” singer sang soulfully and belted her rendition (as usual), only this time the 30 year-old, Grammy award winner must have forgotten to practice one last time as we watched her sing the wrong lyrics. Whoops!
**UPDATE: In response to her human error, Aguilera issued this statement:
”I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.” [Source]
