Dear Bloggery

Grammy Award-winning singer Christina Aguilera has made an astounding blunder by botching a line when she belted out the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl in Texas in a televised broadcast to millions.

The offense?

When Christina was about to sing the fourth line (“O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming”), she accidentally sang a hybrid of the second line: ‘What so proudly we watched, at the twilight’s last streaming….’”

Watch her struggle with the lyrics below:

The official Star Spangled Banner Lyrics are as follows:

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

What do you think? Forgivable or not?

Cheers,
