Christina Aguilera Rehearses The Anthem For The Super Bowl

if you think you saw the last of Christina Aguilera’s Super Bowl performance then think again. Footage of the diva’s rehearsal of the US national anthem has surfaced. Watch her rendition below:

Although Aguilera didn’t perform the song in its entirety, it’s obvious that this would have been the performance to watch. Her voice rang through that entire stadium in a way that most singers can only dream of achieving. Furthermore, she didn’t oversing or show any sign of strain.

Hopefully, Aguilera can devliver a similar showing at this weekend’s Grammy Awards. Otherwise, her tribute to Aretha Franklin might be nothing more than a shouting match between her and Jennifer Hudson.

Thoughts?

    The stadium is empty so it will ring like that! idot dont kno anything about sound! lol

  2. Ethan February 8, 2011

    it’s not the voice that we are talking about, the mistake she made was horrible and she should stop with runs..it’s the national anthem, not her song!

  3. SparkD February 8, 2011

    Nerves. She was amazing there.

  4. asdfsdf February 8, 2011

    thing is…

    she f****** SLAYED here.

    i pray she can do this at the grammys.

  5. Ariana February 8, 2011

    Sounded soooo much better, indeed! She wasn’t oversinging at all, I wonder why she decided to change the key and added those runs during the event.

    No shade but could someone please tell her that she looks way prettier wearing just a bit of make up?

  6. remmy February 8, 2011

    She know damn well she leaked that herself lolz…

  7. Clarissa February 8, 2011

    I know Xtina will do good. She as ABOUT to do good at the SUPERBOWLS.
    She only messed up a few times but NFL said she touched THOUSANDS
    of hearts and sung the hell out of it! #GoXtina

  8. jj February 8, 2011

    its called publicity stunt! she knws millions of people will be watching her . her failed marriage didnt work, people seems not to care. she wants attention and sympathy

  9. Nichole February 8, 2011

    Christina and her people leaked this footage themselves, trying to do damage control when the damage has already been done and still going on. *Rolls eyes*

  10. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    Not much of an improvement…I still hear horrible strained notes, off pitch notes, unsupported mushy foggy low notes. If people take this as good singing, or even acceptable singing…damn, standards have fallen real low since Whitney and Mariah reigned as supreme vocalists.

  11. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    Oh and of course her voice rang through the stadium, she had a MICROPHONE!
    If you put her in a large room without a microphone and a piano she is UNABLE to project over the piano, except when screaming, that’s how s*** her singing actually is. Vocalist of our generation my asshole. A cat with laryngitis being fist f***** can sing more in tune than this woman.

  12. Royalkev February 8, 2011

    This video wasn’t working (I’ll keep trying). Xtina doesn’t have anything to prove. She’s clearly a voice of her own generation and she has given the world some amazing vocal performances over and over again! If you don’t know that this woman can sing by now, you’ve been in a coma or under a rock for a very long time. She’s made some mistake singing the anthem because of her nerves getting the best of her. It’s not such a big deal, nor was that performance so bad. She sounded better than some artist on their best days. I’m sure Xtina covering songs for the Queen of soul will make everything right – in just a few days there won’t be anymore doubters!

    christina is the voice of her generation ( only from her fans)
    kelly clarkson did an amazing job for National Anthem!

  14. Anthony M February 8, 2011

    Fukn savages, so what she made a mistake. Because it wasmt to your liking,you cannot deny her talent. Sometimes she may overdue it but that raw emotion you get when she sings. Dosent always have to sound pretty and packaged,you feel it more when its slightly off key because its real emotion. people are so quick to throw shade on artist,but they all have something that makes shine. I kno her and Jennifer will kill the Grammys they are my fav singers.

  15. ~BeySoBreezy~ February 8, 2011

    This version is 1000% better. I see some dont want to give her props… 😆

  16. Sugaranice February 8, 2011

    @Anthony M…Savages really?

    It’s the National Anthem it should be sung with respect..at the very least to know all the words as a professional . Christina made a mistake a forgivable mistake but as a professional she has this coming sorry. 🙁

    Christina is a wonderful singer and one of the few I respect cause she can SANG with soul and emotion. Soldiers, Families of Soldiers are standing on the field of war and this is the National Anthem you sing it right knowing all the words.

  17. HOLY DAME GODTINA THE QUEEN February 8, 2011

    people love to hate, just one of those things.

  18. Robier February 8, 2011

    Sorry the Truth is she f***** up words and she went out of tune more than once. U can call it what ever u want to make U feel better but she apologized herself which means even she knew she f***** up…. Its not the end of the world

  19. bangbang February 8, 2011

    her team didn’t leak this video. carrie underwoods rehearsal tape came out after she sang it last year. christina and carrie both chose not to lip synch it, and thier rehearsals were alot better than the actual performance, which makes me think its just nerves.

    i can’t wait until the grammy’s though. some of my favorite artists paying tribute to the queen of soul :))

  20. Nichole February 8, 2011

    Why would it be nerves, when she has been performing the National Anthem in front of audiences, since she was a little girl? It’s funny the lame excuses her stans come up with, she was nervous, really? Give me a break. When Mariah fvvked up at MJ’s funeral, you all gave her the most difficult time even though, unlike Christina, she had NO TIME TO REHEARSE and was called in at the last minute.

    This tape is a total shoulda, coulda, woulda but it didn’t happen. Christina fvvked up, she knows she fvvked up and she doesn’t need the tired excuses from her stans.

  21. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    @ Anthony M
    “you can feel it more when it’s off tune” Whaaaaaaat? LMAO, to sing well one has to sing in tune, it is imperative to be a good singer. Emotion means nothing if the singer can’t sing the right notes. Seriously, if you weren’t a Christina stan and she was someone you hear for the first time…would you really put up with that person’s off key singing? No, you would say that person can’t sing.

  22. Prince Barbie February 8, 2011

    At the end of the day she is still a power house vocalist,yall b****** know diss stop denying it and stop hating si what she messed up the words b**** can u do better??? ill wait!

  23. likeCAESAR February 8, 2011

    I’m thinking she has some real real issues going on. I see like acne patches around her mouth and weird discoloration on her teeth. She’s obviously packed on the pounds (which she seems to like). Her face looks distorted in some sort of way…botched plastic surgery most likely. Seems like her cheeks and higher…maybe something with the chin. Her mouth in general seems to be a problem….meth perhaps? She looks all kinds of trashy. Collagen lips, 15 pounds over weight, dwindling voice and career, 1 divorce, adult acne, and I could go on. She needs rehab…drugs or not. #thatisall

  26. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    @ Prince Barbie

    Screaming out of control does not equal powerhouse. And yes, some of us could do better than that.

  27. LMAO February 8, 2011

    @Hudson Morrigan

    You will never achieve in you life what Xtina did so sit your ass down somewhere and get a life. Thank you.
    Oh and no you could never sing like her. Stop dreaming boo.

  28. Anthony M February 8, 2011

    @Hudson yes not always in the right pitch, most of the time people feel the realness of the song, not something polished and put together perfectly.

    And she is a human being who is not perfect and liable to make,mistakes. Who knows what was goin through her mind or what is going,on with her. Im certain she did not blantantly screw up that,song to have people talk bad about her.

  29. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    @ LMAO

    Christina never in her life will achieve what Britney has achieved or what Gaga has acheived or what Beyonce has achieved. But that’s not the point…we are talking her innability to stay all the way in tune, and her innability to sing a f****** song without straining like hell. If you think she is so amazing, how come she can’t do those simple things elemantal to singing?

  30. LMAO February 8, 2011

    Ok you’re abrit, beyonce and gaga STAN undercover, hence WHY you’re blatantly hating on XTINA. Grow up and move on 😉

  31. LMAO February 8, 2011

    And it’s ok, you don’t like her but millions do so get out, thank you.

  32. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    @ LMAO

    No baby, I’m not a fan of Beyonce at all, but I can recognize she is a superior vocalist to Christina because she sings with ease and without sounding like she is struggling for her life. I’m not a fan of Britney either but I can recognize she far surpasses Christina in entertainment value as well as pop culture relevance (and sales).

    That you like something doesn’t mean it’s good. Lots of people love eating Big Mac, that doesn’t mean it’s healthy or good for you.

  33. LMAO February 8, 2011

    But Beyonce DOESNT hit the notes that christina is BRAVE to attempt. Beyonce plays it safe and her limited range doesnt help. Of course, Christina is gonna miss some notes because the way she sings is way more BRAVE, PASSIONATE and DARING.
    ANd you really defend the untalented dumb puppet Britney Spears over Christina? Like Really???

  34. LMAO February 8, 2011

    And SALES are irrelevant. We’re talking about TALENT.

  35. Anthony M February 8, 2011

    @Hudson Britney and Christina are two very different artists, why would you compare them. Britney is more of the high energy entertainer. Christina ismore of a vocal entertainer. She has accomplished,tons more than you can dream off.

  36. LMAO February 8, 2011

    Britney is not an artist, please.

  37. True Blue February 8, 2011

    I can’t watch the video yet, but judging by Trent’s unusually fair critique and the comments, it seems that she sounded miles better. I wonder what caused her to mess up at the actual performance. Perhaps it really was nerves? Because in addition to forgetting some of the lyrics (which she obviously wouldn’t do on purpose), she only f***** up the high notes. If she were oversinging on purpose, she would’ve sounded bad throughout the ENTIRE song.

    @ Harrisson Morgan:

    You’re a hater attempting to downplay your bias through seemingly professional criticism. You fool no one. The previous Xtina post where you said she should become a hooker is still there for anyone to check.

  38. Hudson Morrigan February 8, 2011

    @ LMAO

    Beyonce the one with a limited range? LOL, Christina is the one who struggles with the upper belting and sounds like is in pain, while Beyonce simply sings those notes effortlessly. Christina is the one whose low register is mushy, foggy and weak, while Beyonce can in fact still project a note as low as C3 without a microphone shoved up her mouth like Christina needs for her low pitches.

    In reality Christina doesn’t even have 2 octaves of quality range, not even 1 octave, her comfortable “great voice” range is EXACTLY Bb3-Ab4, below Bb3 her voice becomes hollow and weak, above Ab4 her voice starts showing signs of strain. Christina simply does not have it together as a vocalist, the fact she sounds like she is struggling should clue you in on that.

  39. Hudson Morrigan February 9, 2011

    @ TRUE BLUE

    Christina is known for being promiscuous and having alcohol and possibly meth problems. She might as well do for a living what she already does for free…

  40. Hudson Morrigan February 9, 2011

    Oh and if you Christina stans wanna compare who can in fact sing with ease and who can’t, this shows it very well…Christina’s singing has been on a steady decline since she first came out while Beyonce has been getting better, and as I said…I don’t even like Beyonce, but as an informed listener I can tell she is the superior vocalist.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbcMJ38A2yM

    And you will say “Oh but Christina has a prettier tone”
    Well, her tone ain’t helping her one bit to sing the high notes, the low notes or the CORRECT notes for that matter.

  41. bangbang February 9, 2011

    im not a stan of anyone, but it was obviously nerves. if there was no evidence that she had preformed the song before then it would be obvious that she didn’t know the words. last year carrie underwood didn’t mess up any lines but you could tell she was nervous.

    personally i don’t think its that big of a deal because it was only one line, but at the same time i can understand why a lot of people are upset.
    she’s not the first to mess up the na, it just sucks that she did it in front of millions.

  42. LinbbyRose February 9, 2011

    There is no “Voice of generation” because if you haven’t noticed, thts an opinion.
    The voice of our generation wouldn’t flop in sales, the voice of our generation would’ve sung for the 1st black presidents inauguration, & the voice of our generation would not do something as simple as forget the words to the National Anthem, in which she’s song nearly 5 different times.

    The voice of our generation would definitely get recognized for such a title, as for Christina , sometimes you have to pass your crown to the next … Or watch it fall off. *drinks tea*

  43. True Blue February 9, 2011

    @ Harrisson Morgan:

    Like everyone else is a chaste virgin? B****, please.

    And what proof do you have of her abusing alcohol and meth? Oh that’s right, all you have is gossip rags speculating s*** as your backup. You do a great job at showing what LITTLE credibility you have.

  44. Hudson Morrigan February 9, 2011

    @ TRUE BLUE

    Not my fault your goddess is a fat s*** with alcohol problems who neglects her kids to f*** around and pass out from binge drinking, whose marriage was ruined because of her sexual lesbian affairs, whose voice is in total decline and can’t even sing her own f****** songs without dodging the high notes or straining like hell to sing them and not even mention all the off pitch barking. LMAO.

  45. XTINA IS A POP SUPERSTAR ICON FROM USA !!! February 9, 2011

    She is a POP LEGEND wow she kill it 😉

  46. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue February 9, 2011

    @ Harrisson Morrigan:

    You sound like you’re projecting. Please seek some help, because hating is NOT a healthy thing.

  47. NikkiIsChillin February 9, 2011

    Ummm…this was wack. She sucked here and it was worse at the actual SB. Sorry. Just my opinion.

  48. Hudson Morrigan February 9, 2011

    @ ILOVEXTINA

    This is not LD, so do me a favor and shove that gif up your ass and save it for when you are discussing with other queens and pre op trannies like your girlfriends there which make up Christina’s core audience. And say hello to Goober Camel-Face Snatch for me.

  49. yoyo February 9, 2011

    maybe she’d thought she’d miss the buffet and rushed her performance? but by the looks of her, she had food stored in them checks.
