christina aguilera star spangled bannerDid Christina Aguilera mess up the Star Spangled Banner lyrics?

at the super bowl?
she messed up the words right around "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming"
YES!! The lyrics are "for the ramparts we watched, were so GALLANTLY STREAMING" but she sang something along the lines of, "for the ramparts we watched, were the twilights last gleaming". I'm serious!! But no one noticed because she's CHRISTINA AGUILERA, and anything she sings sounds amazing anyway :p
She did mess up at the "O"re the ramparts we watched section of the song. I have no idea why people are making such a big deal out of it though. No one is perfect. If you think Christina ruined a perfectly good song then let's see you sing it perfectly in front of 100 million people! I know she is sort of expected to do well because she is famous but not one person in this world is perfect. All I hear from people is that she messed up and that she cared about no one but herself during the song. How would you know? Are you in her mind and knowing her thoughts? Also- to all the youtube viewers that commented and said she was dressed to go to some funeral I say this- Would you have rather have seen her dressed in some shorts and a ripped up t-shirt? I mean seriously this was professional here and she was being professional by dressing up. I do think she over sang with her voice at some points but she still gets props for trying and if you think you could do any better then get to it and show a video post for us to see. Other wise shut your mouths if you got nothing but hate coming out!
I think she just repeated a line, no big deal. Years ago, Rosanne Barr sung the National Anthem, and she was totally rude. She screamed it horribly, then after she sung it she grabbed her crotch and spit.

All Christina Aguilera did was repeated a line, and seriously if it was not even mentioned would anyone have noticed? I am not a fan of Christina Aguilera, but I think she did her best give her a break.
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thrchristina aguilera star spangled bannerough the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

"... And the ramparts we watched, the rockets red glare!" -Christina Aguilera

But hell, at least she got the Soul Pizazz in, right?
IF you call leaving out an entire verse, then yes.
Oh Say! can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad Stripes and Bright Stars, Through the perilous fight, O'er the Ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? ....I realize her howling rendition was enough to throw anyone off. No wonder her husband left her. yuck
YES YES she left out a line in the athem. The line is "O'er the ramparts we watch, were so gallantly streaming" She said: "What so proudly we watch at the twilight last gleaming". They should have had Whitney or Jennifer Hudson sing the song. Maybe next year.
Yes. I fell out laughing! She messed up the part that says, "Oer the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming." If she wasn't trying so hard to do so many riffs and runs with her voice, she would have remembered the words and not messed up!
the second verse "what so proudly we watched", was wrong, it should have been "O're the ramparts we watched" and she sang "at the twilights last gleaming" in place of "were so gallantly streaming"

so yeah, she failed
She most definitely did. And I am saddened by the number of people that responded "no". It is a testament to the decline of this country when people do not know our national anthem and yet are arrogant enough to answer "no".
Yes.
Lol instead of "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming"
She said "what so proudly we watch at the twilight streaming" lol. Skipped a whole bit which made her early on the timing of the jets overhead.
Oh yeah. She messed up big time. She is going to get a lot of crap from the reporters and news for that. That had to have been the worst National Anthem I have ever heard.
Yes she did, I'm glad I am in Baghdad Iraq listening to her miss and entire portion of the sonchristina aguilera star spangled bannerg. Also glad half of you dont even know.
You durn right she did!!! She totally didn't sing the RAMPART - part..shame on her. She knew it too, you could tell.. but hey? What do you expect? Was she born in America???? That'll be all over Good Morning America tomorrow a.m. LMAO
Absolutely - she just skipped one whole part - take it from an Army retiree with 29 years of service - she blew it big time!
We go from a reading of the constitution to her horrible rendition of our anthem. Thanks Christina for your disrespect.
Quite clear she's just another unprofessional entertainer that can't perform on THE big stage. She should take a cue from ole Linda Lovelace: "While I may blow a few, I don't choke on the big one".
Yes she screwed it up. She left out a verse. She left out:

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. How embarrassing.
Yes, She started the forth line wrong and skipped the second half of line four, and then went back to the second line.
I didn't catch it during the actual show until I read an article about it later on...Wow. And then on top of that, the Blue Angels fly over only to be seen by viewers watching it on TV...
She forgot the Ramparts! She's right up there with Aretha at the Inauguration singing "My Count_try.."
Yes, instead of saying "..ramparts we watched" she said, "what so proudly we watched, at the twilight's last gleaming"
Totally!! Repeated lyrics.
Oh yeah she did. She sang the first verse lyrics over again instead of bombs bursting in air hahahaha
Did anyone really expect much .. ? I mean I would've been shocked if she actually sang it right .
She must have because I thought the same thing & Google's it. That's how I found your question. We can't all be wrong. She did. Why isn't my DVR set up? Ugghhh!
Check out the player that said to the other player. Did she just mess up?
Yes! Hahahah
I think she said perilous fight instead of perilous night lol
Probably not, :D
I just heard her sing the whole thing and didn't hear any mistakes.
