Right before the Green Bay Packers won NFL gold, they heard Christina Aguilera, a bad stripper-resembling-celebrity with a golden voice butcher her chance to honor America.
The very attractive and often very slaggishly dressed Christina Aguilera messed up signing the national anthem at Super Bowl 45. The recently divorced, 30-year-old mother of one took the prime time stage at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX.
That’s right, she ever so slightly went Lt. Frank Drebin as Enrico Palazzo on us.
At about 51 seconds in, as Christina Aguilera was about to sing the fourth line (“O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming”), she accidentally sang a hybrid of the second line: “What so proudly we watched, at the twilight’s last streaming.”
What the hell is a rampart anyway?
Better luck next time Christina Aguilera
