If she wasn’t so busy trying to sound black and soulful, she would do alright.
The 30-year-old, “Burlesque” star, who has sung the National Anthem at many previous sporting events, including Game 7 of last year’s NBA finals, bungled the lyrics at the opening of last night’s super bowl game, causing confusion amongst the crowd and with viewers at home.
In a statement to the Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog, Aguilera said the flub happened because “I lost my place.”
“I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place,” she explained. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.”
Her words of explanation were beautiful and maybe even true but it’s important that she be herself., her vocals will flow easier that way.
Nobody’s perfect people.
