christina aguilera national anthem super bowl

Tonight's super bowl game saw pop star Christina Aguilera deliver the national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" right before kickoff and she appeared to put her own spin on the lyrics! She was heard to have altered the words in the song's fourth line.

The anthem's official line in that fourth line is: "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?" Instead, the "Burlesque" singer merged the lyrics with the song's second line, which she had just sang ("What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?"), belting out: "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming?". Also some of the notes she was hitting towards the end of the performance were way off.

So certainly not the display the "dirrty" pop star was hoping for but certainly could have been worse and there have been worse displays in the past.
