Christina Aguilera Explains National Anthem Fumble At Super Bowl

Singer Christina Aguilera delivered a soulful version of the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLV in Dallas tonight–but it turns out she missed a few words and she’s hearing it from critics on the web.

Instead of singing the lyrics “O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming,” Xtina sang the line “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last gleaming.”

Aguilera’s representatives sent Speakeasy this statement from the singer: “I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”

In case you missed it….
