She Should Be Arrested For Butchering The Anthem

Christina Aguilera - I thought she sounded pretty good.

I don't think she left anything out. The flyover was timed just right.
 
She left out an entire VERSE "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming".....

Stupid celebrity %$%@#@@#$....
Either sing it right, of STAY HOME
 
When did it become fashionable to so personalize the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner at events like this? They've made it about them, not about the heroic events and sacrifices the Anthem memorializes. Artistic interpretation is one thing, but these displays are another. I now routinely cringe when I hear, "and now, to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. . .

Guess I'm getting old & grumpy too . Singer was disgraceful & with players figetting around w/o saluting hands on heart . Needed an old Gunny out there to kick the pogues in the butt .
 
Bullseye,Thats about it in a nutshell.It seems as there's a contest going as to how much they can turn it into "Star Search".
 
To think of all of are service man and women risking their lives and limbs overseas for this great country and have a bimbo like here give such a embarrassing rendition of the National Anthem is a Disgrace.

What is with all of this warbling, and singing the same words twice because she left some out. Terrible,Terrible,Terrible.
 
If she wants to write a check to the Wounded Warrior Project for about a million dollars that would be a start to make it right

AMEN! and AMEN!
 
Yep, that was really pathetic! Contrast that with the shot of the player with tears in his eyes. Of course, that might have been because of the way she butchered the anthem.

I agree 110% !!! WHY not simply sing it ...as written??

Still though, nothing could ever be as bad as the way Roseanne Barr sang it once, or Stevie Ray Vaughn played it for that matter.
 
I watched Puppy Bowl VII on Animal Planet. Everything went well there, although I think they should ditch the on-camera ref.
 
"The Star Spangled Banner" is actually a very difficult piece, musically, even classically trained singers have trouble with it. Always prefered "Hail Columbia" or "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" myself.
