As the Super Bowl was about to start yesterday I wondered if people bothered to rehearse the national anthem or if they all figured they knew the song and had it covered. The Star Spangled Banner has a tough range. And while you may know the lyrics and can sing it in a crowd, I imagine it’s different when you’re standing in a stadium filled with more than 100,000 people, on TV with millions of viewers, at the largest single sporting event there is.
Christina Aguilera wasn’t the first to flub it, probably not the worst and I’m sure she won’t be the last. This will be on the news for a few days and on YouTube forever, but she’ll laugh it off eventually. Maybe it will be a lesson to others who step up there to sing.
