Comments on the Aguilera version of the National Anthem

Some comments I picked up on the Internet about last nights "rendition" of the National Anthem.

How come a Mexican sings the USA American National Anthem? Now, that is stupid.

The National anthem is an ode to our countries history of courage and pride. Don't dare get up there without practice. You know you are going to be in front of millions and you screw up. She puts more thought into preparing for her tours. Get it right!

Sang like a sick cow and looked like one as well.Reply.

Why hire a celebrity? Have someone current / retired military! They wouldn't screw it up and they would sing it the way it was meant to be. No pitch changes no embellishing to show off their vocal skills.

Yelling is not singing. And then yelling mistakes and looking tortured. Pretty soon we wil be accepting lousy football plays and then we outsource this as well. Guys we are loosing our jobs because we accept this incredible stupidy and sloppyiness and arrogance.

Sorry,but she not only butchered our anthem by not knowing the words,singing it like she did was even more offensive to us war vets.sing it like it was written.damned disgusting.

We can't even nomitate someone who can sing? Lets outsource this to China as well, and the next the whole NFL. Worst of all are those Americans who think these kind of mistakes are acceptable. Real proffessionals can handle the pressure.

Regardless whether or not she messed up the lines, it was a horrible rendition by someone who is full of themselves. Just sing it the way it was written and the chances of messing it up are reduced. On top of that, she didn't even look that good!
