Actually, Christina is a natural blonde, though probably not that tint we saw yesterday.

Solid mechanics, bad execution.

she messed up the lyrics...big deal...it's was a mistake...and things happen.

let's not read into it things like: she's "un-american", she was disrespectful to our troops, she should learn the words because she clearly doesn't know them, etc.

she knows the words...of course she's embarassed...it was an honest mistake obvious to the nearly 100 million people watching.... let her be....

instead, she should REALLY be criticized for they way she looked....:) yikes! age has not been kind to her...;)

Must be personal preference. I actually came out impressed by her voice. Yeah, she missed a line, but it's not the end of the world and she wasn't trying to make some sort of political point (a la Black Eyed Peas) with it. I give her a pass.

Was the rendition a bit too personal for my taste? Yeah, a bit; but not so much that I'd fire her or make them lipsync it in the future.

Reminds me of a quote by Bond, James Bond:

I saw a sign at a game last weekend:

Class of 2012:
The Last Class

And I thought Aguilera was trying to look like Cyndi Lauper. Terrible look, terrible voice. Too bad, cause now we'll be forced to go back to lip synching both the anthem and the halftime show (which is getting terrible reviews cause of the sound quality -- hey, at least they were actually singing! It's not a sound studio and isn't going to sound like one).

Spot on with funeral dirge..........and she is looking like Cyndi Lauper!!

Good catch

and they know the words...
 
They should have had the Cactus Cuties do it. They are right there in Texas, and sing better.
