Christina Aguilera Mangles 'Star-Spangled Banner' at Super Bowl

Pop Star Mixes Up Two Verses in National Anthem

What would Super Bowl entertainment be without a little malfunction?

The pop star botched the line, "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," repeating an earlier line of the song, though she messed up that one, too.

She sang "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming," but in that line, it is supposed to be "hailed," not "watched."

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is a notoriously difficult song to sing, though the problem most performers have is with the range of the song, not the words.
