25. Everyone sings it too fucking slow.
The song was written as a march not as a funeral drudge.

13. If there was any a time to be lip-synching . . . .
I thought everyone knew the words by first grade, not to confuse with understanding them.

4. Who sang it? Just now tuned in to the radio, caught the "home of the brave" and
that's it.

Thanks.

6. I was watching it, when Aguilera got to line 4 i thought "something sounds wrong"
Edited on Sun Feb-06-11 06:39 PM by alp227
I went to Wikipedia to look up the Star Spangled Banner lyrics. She sang "oh so proudly we watched" where it should've been "o'er the ramparts we watched." People on twitter are starting to get mad at Aguilera. This year's Janet Jackson moment.

28. This is too funny. She did look it up, tho . . .
Quote from the updated Wikipedia entry:
"Her mistake matched the lyrics from The Star-Spangled Banner's article on Wikipedia, which had been vandalized."

Well, maybe kids don't have to learn it in gradeschool anymore, like when I was a kid.
