Sing the song like it is our National Anthem...it is not up to your personal interpretation...I hate singers who stray and use notes that aren't even there. Give the song the respect it deserves.

I believe that Francis Scott Key would also think that she was hot.

As long as they keep it under 1:25 or so. It's not a funeral dirge. We had a band last week that finished it in about a minute. I want to take them from school to school with me.

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).

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

Solid mechanics, bad execution.

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

That was probably the worst anthem since Rosanne Barr. Utterly irritating.

The best in recent memory...the 2009 Orange Bowl by Arturo Sandoval. His performance was both stunning and chillingly gripping, not an "everybody look at me" performance.

Same thing happened to me. I was like... ummm, I think she skipped a line.

Either way, she did a very, very poor job - which is an extreme understatement.
