For God's sake, it's time to drop the Christina Aguilera persecution. Yes, she screwed up the lyrics - honestly I found her vocal acrobatics more annoying than the sentence she made up when she "got lost." Plenty of people have messed up the national anthem! It's difficult to sing and the words aren't exactly user-friendly. It's not like she screamed the words, grabbed her crotch, and spit...remember THAT?
Christina claims she has sung the Star Spangled Banner hundreds of times. But this time it was in front of a record crowd (a whole other story) in person and on television. In fact, this Super Bowl was the most watched television program in American history, with 111 million viewers. (It beat M*A*S*H's series finale, which held the record from 1983 til 2010). She's a veteran and one of the most talented vocalists of this era - she can still make mistakes. She didn't lip sync although she could have. When she screwed up, she kept going and didn't show any reaction. She has apologized and I'm sure she is embarassed. Let it go.
Focus instead on how awful the Black Eyed Peas were.
