is that what Christina Aguilera did?? I'm not sure the wrong lyrics is such a problem compared to the wailing she produced before the Superbowl.

it was horrific.

sing the song woman... she wasn't auditioning for the role of "screaming crone" for some opera that only dogs can hear was she?
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It still was better than Fergie butchering Sweet Child of Mine. And her own songs, for that matter.

    Ugh.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    my pillow has blood on it from my ears.

    i thought it was a really young Cyndi Lauper.

    then she opened her mouth and the 14 wildebeest she'd eaten earlier started making a 'please rescue us' noise.

    Pretty crappy singing performances all day....Anybody ever heard of a monitor, or teleprompter for that matter?

    I will say, as bad as the singing was and as much as I dislike the BlackEyed Peas, it was infinitely better than Petty or the Boss in recent years. And at least they tried to sing.

    even at the end of it did you notice those 4 jet fighters flying as fast as they could away from the stadium!

    halftime show was brutal. sound was horrible, other than 'i've got a feeling' their songs totally blow and what is up with the mr. roboto like crap from the one guy, is that supposed to be singing? ugh and women like this shit? horrible. would rather have seen a country act, at least they actually perform music.

    cristina aguilera - career ender? this notion of drawing out the lyrics to ridiculious lengths has to stop. the national anthem is not a pop song you losers, sing it as it is supposed to and actually with the correct lyrics.

    Christina has a beautiful deep voice thats why I like her so much. She's lovely.
    A young Mom, a sweet sexy girl.

    I think she picked the wrong key...should have lowered it a little where her voice is strong and
    doesn't seem scream-y which can be a common problem when belting that song out.

    I actually liked it better than Lea Michele's America the Beautiful but then I am a fan of Christina's
    and not of Glee's

    a young mom doesnt come in to it? It's like me saying "ohhh leave Jeffrey Dahmer alone, he was a fine cartoonist"

    she brutally murdered something that is a symbol of America... if someone had shot her after 20 seconds then i would have applauded your frivolous and errant gun society... :twisted: ;)

    Do you need to go read the hate email thread? ;)

    Perhaps you thrive on finding fault ;)

    I don't think a cannibal can be compared to a sweet young thing like Christina :lol:

    It's the National Anthem! My daughter knew the words when she was 3! At 2 shew knew as many as Christina!

    If these extravaganzas want to showcase their event why not get some tradionalist/classical/ whoever sings it for a paycheck more than once in their life person. Quit getting these "name" singers who totally butcher it and make our country look silly. Just sing the song with class and without all the histronics!

    As for halftime I was entertained by watching my 6 year old daughter singing and dancing to the show :) Let them be innocent for as long as they can..........

    But the minute they announce Christina to sing the anthem you know she's going to do something like that. She's a pop queen and that's the kind of crap they do.

    Don't look at me

    Every day is so wonderful
    And suddenly it's hard to breathe
    Now and then I get insecure
    From all the pain, feel so ashamed

    I am beautiful no matter what they say
    Words can't bring me down
    I am beautiful in every single way
    Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
    So don't you bring me down today

    To all your friends you're delirious
    So consumed in all your doom
    Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
    Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?

    'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
    Words can't bring you down, oh no
    You are beautiful in every single way
    Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no

    So don't you bring me down today

    No matter what we do
    No matter what we do
    (No matter what we say)
    No matter what we say
    (We're the song that's outta tune)
    (Full of beautiful mistakes)

    (And everywhere we go)
    And everywhere we go
    (The sun will always shine)
    The sun will always, always shine!
    (But tomorrow we might awake on the other side)

    'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
    Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
    We are beautiful in every single way
    Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no
    So don't you bring me down today

    Don't you bring me down today
    Don't you bring me down today
