From the Francis Scott Key Bridge to the Super Bowl field: You are beautiful, no matter what she sang

What a girl wants: Booze?
What a girl needs? To be locked up like a genie in a bottle, baby.
You know we really hate to dish out all the "Dirrty" details about talented people, like Christina Aguilera, but seriously. ...
If you are too trashed (or blonde) to sing the National Anthem, don't stumble out onto the football field -- even if you are a VIP member of "The Mickey Mouse Club."
Singing the tune live, Aguilera, 30, was four lines into her rendition when she sang the words "what so proudly we watched" instead of the correct lyrics, "o'er the ramparts we watched." -US Weekly
Xtina says she got so lost in the moment of the song that she lost her place.
"I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of it’s anthem still came through," she told reporters.
Francis Scott Key, don't worry. Your "Star-Spangled Banner" is still beautiful, no matter what she sang.
And, Christina, no worries -- Hot 99.5's Toby Knapp says, "this isn't the first time the 'Anthem Curse' has struck down a pop star in Dallas."
Besides, we'll, like, totally forgive you if you kiss Madonna again.

She's not the first, Kelly Ann. Many have stumbled over the words in the past, especially when sung a capella, considering most of the time you're in front of a massive audience. Don't even get me started on Roseanne Barr when she had the audacity to butcher it up about 10 years ago. Not necessarily a Christina Aguilera fan but I don't know if I'd want to do it. BTW was it me or was she fashioning a Cyndi Lauper look?
