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]

Every year, an artist or two headlines the half-time show with a show-stopping performance. For this year’s football championship game, the Black Eyed Peas brought down the house with their over-the-top costumes and a 12-minute party-hopping medley of their chart-topping hits like “Boom Boom Boom”, “Pump It”, “Let’s Get It Started” and “I Gotta Feeling.” The group were later joined by singer Usher and rock guitarist Slash during their performance of “OMG” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine”. Check out their performance below, if you missed it.

Rapper Snoop Dogg has teamed up with Pepsi Max to present his secret recipe for his infamous SuperBowl Sunday snack: Bowl of Chips. His concoction includes a bag of Tostitos chip, his self-made 7-layered dip (which ends up not really being a dip), chicken wings and dashes of oregano leaves. Snoop makes sure to add his not-so-french speaking skills to the mix as he plays chef for the day. LOL Lawd. Check out the video!
Now, who’s ready to see the upcoming SuperBowl commercials?
