We’ve already seen the video of Christina Aguilera messing up the National Anthem during the Super Bowl.
You had to assume that the singer would want to release a statement about the flub.

And here it is. Christina Aguilera says she got so caught up in the moment that the words escaped her. It’s understandable.

“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.”

I’m SURE Christina Aguilera won’t be able to shake this one for MONTHS. Every interview she does will include something regarding the National Anthem mistake. Get ready guys!!

Christina Aguilera To Sing The National Anthem At The Superbowl

Fox and the NFL have officially announced that Christina Aguilera will perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Now I’m not really a football fan but I always love the pregame and half time entertainment that comes with the Super Bowl!

Last year’s Super Bowl was the most watched TV program ever with over 153 million viewers, but that’s not bothering Christina! In a statement Christina said that;

“I have been performing the Anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true,”
“I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event.”

With Christina Aguilera performing the national anthem and The Black Eyed Peas performing during the half time show it sounds like this is going to be a fantastic game – at least entertainment wise! Will you be watching?!
