Moments ago Christina Aguilera performed the US national anthem at Super Bowl XLV. The singer dared to sing the song live at the event and encountered several difficulties int he process. See her performance below:
Not only did Aguilera massacre the lyrics but her voice at the song’s climax was incredibly strained. While it is commendable that that she attempted to sing this song live (a rare feat for singers at this event), the pressure that her vocal cords had to endure during this showing was quite painful to observe.
It has been blatantly appearant for quite some time that Aguilera’s voice is no longer as flexible as it was in her youth and this performance confirmed that fact. All singers experience changes with age so maybe the time has come for Aguilera to acknowledge her limits and seek help from a vocal coach.
Aguilera’s pride was one of the key factors for the failure of her ‘Bionic’ campaign and if she is not careful then it will also ruin the one thing she has left – her voice.

That was so horrible!
Absolute fail!
Wow! You’re quick!
She can sing her ass off but DAMN…
I mean she was supposed to SLAY tonight and she didn’t… She did NOT deliver.
I’m disappointed.
🙁
leave xtina alone!
KEE. Snooki f***** that National Anthem up.
Bet she won’t try that s*** again.
Im Still upset over bionic and im not even a Xtina Stan…..That album is everything and her team shoudlve managed it better.
And far as the anthem, i didn’t think she did that bad of a job
I can only LOL
CHRISTINA YOU OVER DID IT, YOU MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS GIRL, IT HAS TAKEN JANET A WHOLE LONG TIME TO RECOVER FROM THE SUPER BOWL SO CHRISTINA KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT YOU STILL HAVE A CAREER AND DON’T BE A VEIN B****…OK.
Are you on drugs??!! this performance wasn’t that bad!
I’m a Christina Aguilera fan but the was horrible and she forgot the words, and i wish she would work on her vocal control. A beautiful voice can sound bad with bad technique
That song’s next to impossible to sing. Give her some props.
HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.lol lord this is too funny
Since when are they letting singers do the national anthem live at the Superbowl?
oh and green bay Aint playing on you h***…
She’s such a flop ass b****!!! Disrespecting America like that!
It wasn’t that bad, she has always oversung anyway. I thought it was something in the lines of that Kat DeLuna’s fiasco.
i guess christina is going thru her ‘blackout’ phase lol
i would only hope lol
is she wearing a wig?
hahaha well… hum the pics are cute tho, right ???
OMG B****** DON’T HATE, EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES AND AT LEAST SHE HAD THE BALLS TO SING IT LIVE! SMFH
lea michelle from glee should have sung the anthem she sings much better and would have learned the words
Lmao. Twitter is going off saying Bey should had did it. Smdh Where is hurricane Bey to washed away these dusty ass broads. Yes I brought her up? *goes to watch her version* and has this h** heard of something call rehearsing. Cause Childress she’s a fail.
PLUS SHE MANAGED TO MAKE SOME CRY! LOL AND THEY F****** CHEERED FOR HER AS WELL!
The screw up wasnt that bad!!! my Problem was that her voice has no quality like say a Mariah or a whitney! all she does is screams!!!
#NoShade i actually like her!
that was not so bad…
At least she did it live.
“RUINS The National Anthem”??? Exaggeration MUCH Trent?
By no means was this a perfect performance, yes she f***** up the end, but the title of your post implies that she sounded horrible for the ENTIRETY of the song, which she didn’t.
You’re right that she needs to seek some vocal help, but the title of this post was unnecessary.
And can we please stop with the b******* that her “arrogance” caused Bionic to flop? If that was the case, then what about “Stripped” and “Back 2 Basics”? Were they flops, too?
I GUESS SHE COULD HAVE MIMED IT LIKE MARIAH BUT, WHATS THE USE IN BEING A PART OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY TO BE A “SINGER” IF YOU’RE GOING TO MIME ALL YOUR PERFORMANCES, WHICH XTINA NEVER DOES, HATERS STAY MAD.
horrible! And how do you forget the words to The National Anthem ?
That wasn’t THAT bad…it was a little over-sung but Christina does that. Perhaps she felt she still had a lot to prove after her tumultuous year but to call it ruining the anthem is a bit much. Yes she did forget the words, but leave it to a Lamb to nit-pick. I think it was a commendable effort and she did well.
CLEARLY SHE CAN SING HER ASS OFF AND IT WAS LIVE. YES HER VOICE STRAINED A BIT.. HOWEVER, SHE WAS GIVING THE AUDIENCE WHAT THEY WANT.. SHE WAS LIVE AND SHE SHOULD HAVE HELD IT BACK.. SHE CAN SING THE ANTHEM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND NAIL IT AND BE FINE
It wasnt that bad,people are hating on her because she was oversinging it like Kat Deluna did.I feel bad for Aguilera. ….She can sing so give her a break
SIDE NOTE:BEYONCE WHERE ARE U ???
@Holy Dame
Everyone lip-syncs the national anthem at the superbowl. Seriously, why do you think Whitney’s rendition was good enough to sell as a single? Whitney probably did multiple takes before we heard the final product. I’m really surprised at this! It’s not like she hasn’t done the national anthem before. She did it twice at the NBA finals.
Lmao, them bites were crying becaus she messed up. They were embarrassed for the h**. That’s what yapping out your ass about other artists over the years do to you.
i still say she has one of the best voices out there today. she just doesn’t know how to control it properly. poor thing messed up on the words 🙁
Missing one or two words doesn’t exactly count as a “massacre” of the lyrics.
I already knew Christina was gonna eff up.
It was horrible from the beginning to the end. She needs to learn how to have some effin restraint.
Whitney Houston still has the greatest version of the National Anthem EVER, and even better than Mariah’s.
Beyonce also threw it down.
Trent is crazy!!!! He was watching and DIDNT even know she sang it wrong at first until he started to see tweets about it. His ass doesn’t even know it himself. lol go look at his twiiter page…
Trent, I know what part she messed up, do you??? yet you can write a entire post about her ruining it, but you don’t know how it goes.
@Trent: Please ammend your post. Christina also botched the words. She missed a few of the lyrics and that is a cardinal sin when singing the National Anthem!
SHE KILLED THE PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….#TEAMxTINA
Ok I feel bad now. Lmao smdh my bad Xtina. Just wanted to throw shade.
Mariah had the best of all time.. her “for the land of the free, and the home of the brave” slays whitneys..
xtina needs to have a seat, take care of her kid and leave america alone
HEY TRENT,
INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT CRITICISING CHRISTINA’S PERFORMANCE WHY DON’T YOU LEARN HOW TO USE PROPER GRAMMAR AND SPELL CORRECTLY!
The beginning was okay but the ending….
The oversinging is going to ruin her voice if she doen’t stop now. I give her props for singing live but…. that was painful.
I think she did a decent job…..it takes alot of courage and nerve to go in front of millions and sing a song………she did a good job to me!!!!!
No surprise here. Her voice is pretty much gone.
For the record, why wouldn’t they have her pre-record her vocals, instead of singing live? I thought pre-recorded vocals were recommended for the NA?
After that performance, I see why they have singers pre-record their vocals. They don’t want them to shamefully humiliate themselves, the way Christina did.
@KL
Negative. Whitney has the best rendition, followed by Bey.
MARI
Whitney’s director Ricky Minor wrote in his autobiography that Whitney did it in ONE take. Also, she sung it live at her welcome home heroes hbo special dedicated to the troops. I see some fans trying to side eye whitney by saying she lipped it-
Ricky minor who also produced Jennifer Hudson’s version said there is reasonf or lipping it, as too many things can go wrong as we just saw happened to christina aguilera.
Whitney sungit at her concert and did just as well so don’t come from Whitney. She is the Gold standard.
Best NL renditions that I can remember
whitney
mariah
bey
that is all.
@ NICHOLE-
B**** STFU! U KEEP ON COMMENTING ON THIS POST! WE GET IT, YOU DON’T LIKE HER AND THINK SHE DID HORRIBLY. SO STFU ALREADY!
@shayne
you’re wrong. whitney did lip it at the superbowl. it was still fabulous, though.
It wasnt that bad..what through it off was she forgot the words..the end was a lil strained but all great singers have there good and bad live performances.at least she sang live and fact is she still can outsing 99% of todays singers..beyonce included
@shayne
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/WinterConcert/story?id=6788924&page=1
wait, that was a j-hud link
@KL
That’s a no go! Whitney has the best rendition of the national anthem-
@Mari
didn’t say she didn’t lip it at the superbowl and yes it was still fab
said she sung it live afterwards at her welcome home heroes hbo concert for the troops and sung it just as well
youtube it
that shut alot of people up
She over sang it, Its the words that are important, not how loud you sing them!! it would have been loads better if she held back, so the words would have had more of impact.
Look what have u done Christina from all the SCREAMING, SHOUTING, YELLING through the years…
Mariah Carey >>> Christina Aguilera ( can’t sing , only shout and scream )
Damn, THIS WAS AWFUL!!! When I heard her on the TV, I was like WTF? I see why Christina’s nick name is CHRISCREMA! Wow, that’s the worst I’ve heard her sing. I thought she did bad when singing “Lift Me Up” on her VH1 special, and this tops that. Face it, CHRISCREMA doesn’t have IT anymore. She was always known for screaming instead of just hitting high and long notes. I was thinking, why can’t you just sing the song? She was trying to put so much “soul” and umf into it and sounded a hot mess. She overdid it like crazy. She screamed her behind off! How embarrassing? Anyone who tries to defend her singing the national anthem is an ass licker! I mean, to be honest, I really felt like she made a fool out of herself and was disrespectful to the “Star Spangled Banner!” CHRISCREAMA, why did you have to put so many runs in it. That’s not how you sing America’s damn song! She was trying so hard to prove that ‘SHE STILL GOT IT” after her Bionic album and Burlesque movie flopped and failed miserably!
I liked her performance. She sounded great.
SHOUT, SCREAM, OVERSING, FLOP = Christina Aguilera
I’m not even a Christina stan, but it wasn’t THAT bad?! It was just average (apart from the final note which was terrible).
EW SHE SOUNDS LIKE CHUCKIE FROM RUGRATS
Oh and, wtf is the point of pre recording the National Anthem? Christina sucked, but if what y’all say about other singers using pre recorded vocals is true, then at least she sung it live! To lip-sync, especially for the National Anthem, is embarrassing and shameful! You might as well not have anyone singing it then! No one, especially a powerhouse and experienced singer like Aguilera should mess up on a song like this! She’s been performing live for thousands and in front of millions of viewers for how many years? Touring for how many years? There’s no excuse for her or anyone else!
Whats wrong with you people? yes it wasnt the best shes done but give the poor woman a break shes singing in front of the whole world, shes human and she probably was very nervous, everyone makes mistakes, she sang beautifully and at least she was brave enough sing it live unlike some others, She continued like a pro and that was great, it wasnt even that bad, the way everyones going on is like she didnt remember any of the words. I feel very sorry for this young woman, since last yr everyone has been trying to pull her down and ruin her career, am surpised she hasnt had a breakdown yet with everyone pointing the finger at whatever she does. Trent you just need to STFU who the f*** are you? your just some blogger that owns a s***** website, even if her career is over shes made for life anyway and doesnt have to work ever again she has a fortune and will be enjoying her life while you sit behind yur computer hating. I knew you would be quick to post something negative about Christina, she is not losing her voice its just gonna more mature Christina just ignore all these people who are trying to bring you down and stay strong.
LOL i see the haters are out in force, honestly it wasn’t as bad as i was expecting from what i heard on twitter. Ok she messed a line up get over it, XTina alwaus “over sings” that’s her style and you either love it or hate it but it is what it is.
Honestly i don’t think she should have even done this, it’s obvious she’s going through some bad stuff at the moment, i’m hoping she’s not heading for a full blown Britney/Mariah breakdown but i just know that whatever happens she has the tallent to make a successful comeback when she’s sorted herself out.
Imagine the crap she’s going through, a marriage breakdown, being called fat everyday when she is probably less than the average size in America a flop album and even with a hit film people still wanna concentrate on the negatives.
It would be so easy for me to go in on other artists that have had issues but whatever, XTina is my girl and i know that sooner or later she’ll be back on top and all the haters will by crying into their pillows again. #StayMad #StayPressed
True any song that is sang is better sang live, then just mimed… News just in.. Janet jackson is gonna sing next years national Anthem. Okay, that something that would never happen.. janet doesnt sing live hahahahaha.
Thats not her best. She strained way, way too much. SMH
Why is she being called a flop? Yes, she is a average singer with a loud voice, but she puts out great music. Bionic was…IS a great album, it just wasn’t promoted efficiently and the comparisons with Gaga did not help her. She just needs to get back in the studio, get a vocal coach and be herself.
@LOLA, are you f****** MAD?! “Lift me up” at the Help for Haiti tellethon was AMAZING one of her best performances EVER it literally made me cry.
I know one thing 1/2 time was one hot ass mess. The performences were terrible.
Ouch. The past couple of years have not been good for her.
Trent, It wasnt THAT bad. She just needs a new technique…
And her haiti performance was one of the best of her career. That is all…
@ OMG. You’re going to be hearing, and reading a ton of negative comments from the media and else where about this performance. My comments on a silly blog, is hardly adding on to anything.
Trent dear it wasn’t as terrible as you’re making out, leave Cuntina Slaguilera alone.
This B**** Lost It!
BEYONCE Should Of Sang It!
#QueenBeyonce2011
@ Daniel:
You’re just BEGGING for trouble, aren’t you?
It is inexcusable to forget the lyricsa of the national anthemm
I am sick of the vocal gymnastics as well
Whitney Houstons version with sheer power and pride stands tall. Too bad she could probably not duplicate that performance at this roomed
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue Hahahaha… I’m not looking for trouble, i’m looking for some food. im hungry!
Beyonce’s lipped performance was nowhere near one of the best. Stop trying to add her average vocals into everything period. Christina is far from an average vocalist, infact she’s superior. She did a great job. Trent is just hating. So what if she muffled a few words. She was amazing. She did a fantastic job, she had soul emotion and all of the other important things.
Her voice didn’t sound strained to me. Trent is always searching. Christina is still young also you idiot.
It doesn’t sound great overall but she didn’t miss one note. She always oversings.
That’s why they better go back to playback. If Whitney and Beyoncé have done that way then it supposed to sound better that way.
@ Daniel:
Oh, I get it.
Everyone else, don’t feed this troll no matter how tempting it is to do so.
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue you’re the only one that has a problem with my opinions, no one else had commented on them. I swear you must look at every blog to see if i’ve made a comment, just so you can start on me.
OMG Trent
Is it really that Bad?? Im afraid to watch, I guess if I turn my speakers down REALLY LOW I can save my Ears from any foreseen Danger. 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JfkxKR_mKw
^^^ I thought Xtina was a DRAMATIC MEZZO SOPRANO like Beyonce but isnt this Class supposed to get BETTER with Age then why does Strain-Tina only get worse & worse??
Vocally BEYONCE >>>>> Xtina (Voice, Technique, Control, Vibrato, Comfort Range, True Power, SOUL… EVERYTHING!!)
@ Daniel:
1. No, I’m not the only one that has a problem with your comments, don’t act like you haven’t been called out by others.
2. Boy, please. Don’t flatter yourself. There are plenty of posts that I skip, for all I know you comment on them as well. I like Christina, so naturally I’ll comment on this one. In case you didn’t notice, I commented BEFORE you, so get that silly idea out of your head that I stalk you.
3. You are entitled to your opinion, but when you say stupid, irrelevant things I WILL call you out on them. What the f*** was the point in bringing up Janet this time? How the hell does she enter this discussion? You are CLEARLY trying to start some s*** here.
I dont give a flying f*** what anyone says Christina sung that anthem it wasnt horrid she may have over sung it but it wasnt horrible dont conduse her for Britney singing this LIVE
THAT WAS AWESOME!!
ONE OF THE BEST I’VE HEARD
GRAPEJUICE YOU GUYS HAVE NO CLASS
Horrible ! LMAO at the ending!
LMFAO (Late Chuckle) I just realized how Strain-Tina NEVER fails to deliver a HORRIBLE VOCAL. POOR GIRL but the Stains call her “THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION” LMAO, FAIL
STAY PRESSSSED B****** XTINA DID A GREAT JOB F*** ALL THIS HEATERS JEALOUS @#$@#@ ALL YOU SUCK!!!! XTINA IS THE BEST SINGER OF MUSIC INDUTRY AND THE BEST VOICE OF THE PLANET SHE IS FROM UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!! STAYED MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD AND YOU BLACK M*********** S*** THAT F*** UP YOU ARE NOT EVENT AN AMARICAN SOO CLOSE YOU F****** DISGUSTING NEGRA ASSS:(
@Trueblue On this post, it was all fine until you turned up, its like the janet blog.. you started on me, when there was loads of other people being negative towards her.. you started on me when loads of people are being negative on this blog about christina. Can you not see that it does look your stalking my every comment, i dont see you replying to those comments.. its just always me.. its started to look, like you cant get enough of me hahahahhaaha
Its a blog about the superbowl.. janet is well known for the superbowl incident… also other people were talking about who sings it best, it was just a light hearted joke!
ALL THIS B****** WANT XTINA TO FAIL BUT SHE IS PURE TALENTED , HOT, BEAUTIFULL , BLOND PERFECT BARBIE, SHE IS SOO F****** AMAZING DONT COMPARED ANOYENCE WITH XTINA CUZZ XTINA , CUZZ XTINA IS WITHE NATURAL BLONDE, PERFECT HER VOICE ITS SIMPLE AMAZING BEYONCE ORT OTHERS TRANSGENDERS DONT EVENT TOCH XTINA STAR POWER..!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!! AND YOU NEGRAA DISGUSTING B**** TURN THE LIGHT ON CUZZ YOU NEED TO WASH YOU DISGUSTING MOUTH F*** YOU… GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THE SUPERSTARS COME FROM USA ALWAYS RULLS MADONNAA!!XTINNA!! BRITNEY!! MICHAEL J!! JT!!
that was horrible not just cause she forgot the words but she just didn’t sound good. And for all you saying how courageous she has to be to sing it live, Christina is a seasoned professional so singing live should not be a problem for someone that sings for a living. I’m sorry I’m with Trent on this one she ruined it. In addition to singing bad she looks a mess too that bright lipstick, and bad wig no epic fail.
@Mari pls add Jordin Sparks to your list of greats, she sang it back in 2008 and killed it she didn’t sing live but she did an awesome job and stands as my favorite to date.
http://www.b**.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12378790
She messed up the lyrics…. she repeated the sameline.. of something.. Read people!!!
DONT COMPARED XTINA WITH BEYONCE >> ONE IS WITHE THE OTHER ONE BLACK!! AND THAT IS WHAT AMERICA IS ABOUT AND THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE JUST ONE AMERICAN !!! GOOD BLESS AMERICA !!
Lol Trent! you were going IN on twitter! I LOVE my Christina, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t chuckle a bit
I don’t think she did that bad thought. On twitter you would think that she absolutely butchered it. SMH. It wan’t perfectly, a bunch of uneccessary runs and flubbing the words…but it wasn’t horrendous!
I have never been impressed when she does the National Anthem though. She has a beautful powerful voice, but she really does tend to over sing and do to much. It’s like she feels the need to have to prove that she can sing, we already know she can.
The crowd seemed to like it though…she got a lot of applause. *shrugs*
And WTF is going on with her hair? I know she can afford better hair extentions than that. SMH. Girl you got money, get that sh*t together!
S/N: Was anybody else LOL then that fat dude with the heavy beard was bouncing around?! I know I was! LMAO!
“Beyonce’s lipped performance was nowhere near one of the best.”
@The man
I don’t agree with that at all. Bey’s rendition was tight! Had Christina pre-recorded, it probably would have been better than Bey’s. But there was more to Beyonce’s rendition than the song itself. Beyonce’s styling (her outfit and hair), was stunning. Christina’s styling, not so much. Beyonce had a band and an escort. Was the NFL too cheap to hire a band to back Christina? Her whole rendition played like it was at a regular season game, not what the national anthem is supposed to be at the superbowl, which is a regal, major event, especially when a star of X-tina’s caliber is performing.
Beyonce, Whitney, & Mariah had thee BEST version of this song EVER.
Bey was ONLY 22 (PRE-Mature for her) when she sung this & it totally shits on STRAIN-Tina & Many others anyday even Xtina’s 1st attempt. Imagine if Bey song this NOW!! LMAO, Xtina has ALWAYS been a terrible vocalist accept now Every Single Note sounds a Mess!! Even RIHANNA can probably out Sing her these days:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JfkxKR_mKw
Heres a *REAL* singers rendition:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GzlGMxJO7U
Hear the difference??
@ Daniel:
How thick are you? “All was fine until you showed up”? I commented BEFORE you, go scroll up the post and see for yourself!
I’m not going after people dissing Christina’s performance because they are voicing their opinions on the TOPIC AT HAND. And most of them are right, this wasn’t a very good performance, so why am I gonna battle people over something that’s true? Besides this isn’t about other people, so stay focused!
But what justification do you have to bring up Janet Jackson and diss her WHEN SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS? Yes, she once performed at the Superbowl, SO WHAT? She didn’t sing the national anthem, she performed at halftime, so you can’t even use the excuse of bringing her up for comparisons.
Stop looking looking for an excuse to go off-topic!
Beyonce’s AT LAST >>> Xtina’s
Beyonce’s National Anthem >>> Xtina’s
Beyonce’s Fever >>> Xtina’s
Every other cover Beyonce >>> You Mad?? 😆
DAMN!!! Yall aint waste no time putting this up. Couldnt wait HUH Trent?
Honestly, why do people care so much about an artist lip-syncing? You know it’s their voice so what’s the big deal?
STRAIN-Tina OFFKEYGorrilera doesn’t sing the song in a decent key, can’t find the pitch, has horrible placement, and doesn’t even know the words. If you don’t know the words to the National Anthem, the Super Bowl is not the place to show it. 😐
Wow this was awful, and she had audacity to sing it live when the other times she sang she butchered it so bad? Is she that proud? Is she serious?
@True blue I ment as in showing up and commented on me…. also its not like i go reading your comments you know.. my comments to you, are obviously important, or you’d not bother to reply to them everytime.
You need to calm yourself, people are being up janet on the other blog… like the kelly rowland stan, i dount see you replying to them, this only goes to show.. your a stalker of me… your probs waiting for my next comment, just so you can run it down! and calling me thick, doesnt show you in a good light… think before you say such things.
S*** that Beyonce rendition was so Lovely. That was Definitely an A + performance. On to Christina, i don’t think her performance was awful or a fail. It sounded good in the beginning and middle but she lost it at the very end. She get a C from me.
@S***
That was an interesting video. Thank you for the link 🙂
LOL, who’s really surprised by this? I mean really? Christina’s always had terrible technique and now that she’s ruined what voice she once had with that crappy technique, she sounds like an electrocuted cat. Why would she even attempt this? Sad.
And why are some people saying it’ s because she’s going through stuff? LOL, um, this chick would sound like s***, anyway! Keep reaching, dah-lings.
@S***
You are doing entirely too much.
@ Daniel:
The people that brought up Janet on the BEP post were more on-topic than you are! She never performed the national anthem, so what is the point of bringing her up HERE?
And again, you need to stop flattering yourself… do you get an ego boost from deliberately making dumb comments, getting called out and BELIEVING that you’re being stalked? I’m not the one trolling posts, so I shouldn’t be the one to worry about being “shown in a good light.” Since you’re acting in an idiotic fashion, I should be questioning your intelligence!
Man, for someone who doesn’t like Kanye, you sure act A LOT like him. I guess what they say is true, familiarity breeds contempt.
san we talk about al the flat notes Christina strained out at the end? I mean damn boo, drop it a bit and stay in key versus trying to do to much and lose your key!!
@ Ariana
Welcome dah-ling, Enjoy
@ ~aMaZiNG.Lee~
LOL, I would have said STRANGLED LION with a bad case of PHARYNGITIS but an Electrocuted Cat will suffice. 🙂 No Wonder Obama & Michelle didnt want STRAIN-Tina singing ‘At Last’, She wasnt allowed withing 3,000 yards of the Inauguration, I dont blame em. 😐
Christina’s performance was far from terrible. Is she capable of better? Yes.
At least she sang the damn thing live.
@trueblueOmg, your saying the comments on janet on the Bep blog are okay, because they’re more on topic, but they’re talking about her tits??? so you wont have a problem if i talk about her tits on the BEP blog then? Of course you will.. its all because im saying it… some other person has questioned why, you always have a go at me.
Im not making dumb comments at all, nor am i being caught out.. it was just one comment that was meant to be taken as a joke.. it wasnt evenn insulting, unlike the people talking about her tits…. You have it in for me, but im ready for you. my very own stalker.
@ Daniel:
The people on the BEP post are OBVIOUSLY joking. Anyone can see that.
But considering your past comments on Janet posts, how could anyone other than you think were making an innocent joke? You were clearly throwing shade. And probably hoping to launch a stan war. THAT is the problem.
christina was AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING !!!! haterz fall da fukk back !!!!
JB
February 7, 2011 at 4:05 am
Christina’s performance was far from terrible. Is she capable of better?
Yes.
^^Have you ACTUALLY seen her other performances of this song??
@True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue That kelly rowland stand was throwing loads of shade on the other janet blogs, i remember her.. so you cant be using that!! next!! I dont wanna start a stan war at all… It’s just one comment, and look how overboard you go with it.. I think somene needs a hug.
Not only was her voice horrible she messed up the words. You f****** stupid christina stans if this was beyonce y’all would be all in her s***. Face it christina can’t sing anymore and fergie sounded a f****** fool too LMFAO
Whitney Houston LIVE at Welcome Home Heroes HBO special singing SSB live 1991

TRENT IS HAITTING AGAIN!!!!! As USUAL SO SAD! BUT FUNNY YOU ALWAYS POST ABOUT HER SO WE ALL KNOW YOUR A FAN! HAHAHAH
christina was amazing ….dont u live in the u.k trent why are you know the words to the ntinal anthem……cause i dont know your contries and her voice is amazing always this was good and mariaah as been lip-syncing that same whistle note since glitter……..and mariah will never be as pretty or as talented as christina ….f*** 200 million records ………. cristina can revamp …mariah can too b*** she will have to try much harder…and wo cares if se messed up the words …….this was great……………..stay in your country trent
Well I love X-tina but I was watching this in shock. She just doesn’t know when to stop over singing and its sad. She use to be a premiere vocalist and now her voice is starting to fade little by little.
@S***
Your shade tonight is tooo thick lmao 🙂
First, Let Me say: WHITNEY SET THE STANDARD! SHE DID THE BEST VERSION EVER-PERIOD. Now, Christina did bad. She can sing, but needs a vocal coach to help her technique.
SHE SAID THE WRONG WORDS! IF I WAS A SOLIDER THERE I WOULD HAVE WALKED UP AND SLAPPED HER. IF YOUR GUNNA GO ALL OVER BOARD WITH YOUR VOCALS, AT LEAST LEARN THE WORDS FIRST
Omgggggg omgggggg omggggg really XTINA really are u f****** kidding me. As big as ya EGO is this is the s*** you come back with. This is F****** mess #beyondslay where the he’ll are you???? Smfh beyonceeeeeeeee plazzzzzz slay these bit he’s again #roundIV
http://tinypic.com/r/349c940/7
A) Christina has ALWAYS sang too “hard” to me – obviously someone told her that neverending runs and straining is SANGING and she never stopped.
B) This performance wasn’t as horrible as people are making it out to be
C) This is still 100% better than ANY of the horrible youtube clips Trent posts claiming they’re “hot”
D) It’s safe to say that Trent wouldn’t know “good” singing if it was beamed into his ears.
FLOPTINA STRIKES AGAIN
Who’s Beyonce?
I swear u guys are just jealous
coz FATyonce will never be like Xtina LMAO
Xtina slayed her since the beginning.. STFU y’all
and stay MAAAAAAAD!
when beyonce can hit all Xtina’s notes, then call me..
Etta James LOVED Xtina … HATED Nega-yonce. that proves who sing betta
BYE. HA!
it was good to me,i guess people will hate..
@ Kyle, we agree on something
@MR.M
Etta James loved Beyonce too until she sang what Etta considers ‘her song’ (although she did not write it and was not the first to record it) for the President and First Lady’s first dance. Before that event, Etta had all good things to say about Beyonce. So, your so called proof is not solid. BTW, I think both Christina and Beyonce are great vocalists although I prefer Beyonce’s tone during live performances.
oh.
my.
GOD
Beyonce’ is not a balladeer. She is known for her buehind popping. All she did was sing the song or lip it, behind a BIG PRODUCTION. yES THE PRODUCTION WAS TIGHT, AND SHE SUNG IT GREATLY. bUT cHRISTINA HAS MORE TO HER VOICE THAN BEYONCE’. Beyonce’ yodels alot, and abuses her falsetto because she cannot reach the notes in her chest voice. Beyonce’s dance routines are her bread and butter. While she has good technique theres simply nothing special about her voice.
Christina sang this song very well. She flubbed a few of the lyrics and let it go at the very end, that is not considered as butchering a song. Find something to do.
@S*** your corny get a new gig and one that pays. Your the only one that toots Beyonce’ as a great singer nobody else cares. Move one ………….
I think she did great! Yea her voice strained in the end a little but hey that’s live performance.
she did a GREAT job…i don’t even like her any more but i gotta give her props!

Goodnight Ya’ll.
Plazzzzz everyone take a listen to Dawn Richards (Dirty Money) Mixtape called “A Tale of the Heart” it’s sooooooo hard, I’m hoping Trent does a full review of it!! It’s called “A Tale of the Heart”, Highlight Songs: “Superhero” “These Tears” “Bulletproof” every song is hard to me #imjustsaying Good luck DAWN, you are an amazing writer/singer
@ theman
H** HUSH, You know Beyonce been shittin on your Fav since 99!
Beyonce’ is not a “BALLADTEER” Because unlike Mariah, Whitney, Scream-Tina, ETC shes VERSATILE enough to SLAY a BALLAD & an Up-Tempo all the SAME!! Strain-tina has NEVER & will NEVER be able to do that (see BIO-FLOP). No other B**** can deliver Bey’s LVL of “BALLAD + CLUB HITS”, NOONE. STRAIN-Tina isnt Versatile enough to slay both & NEVER will be.
STRAIN-Tina can only SING… HALF her Range while Beyonce SINGS ALLL Her Range.
Now I know you are gonna ride or Die for your girl but just ADMIT she sounds a HOT ASS MESS her… Straining, Grunting, Over Singing, This B**** is a TERRIBLE vocalist… PERIOD. You & your Girl is a Total FAIL.

Beyonce is WAY MORE successful, has a much brighter Future & a much more fruitful career while Xtina is Setting new FLOP records left & Right (but atleast she accomplished something with the Fail that Was/is Bio-FLOP)
@ theman
Watch these 2 comparisons & YOU tell ME whos the Better Singer:
XTINA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JfkxKR_mKw
@ theman
Or THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8wtoMPlrvM
YOU DECIDE & get back to me.
r kidding ?..that performance was great !..i enjoy and trust i know what real music sounds like …and if it was not that good ..look at the faces of the football players…to say shes been gone for a while….she still give it everything..like she used to..her vocals have not went nowhere..dont hate
OOOPS! she kinda messed that up, the local news in Vegas made sure they showed this flub ( a few times) and commented on it a couple of times during the news broadcast. Of course Xtina oversang, that’s her thing but she probably should have pre-recorded it because now this is all people want to talk about. Oh Well, maybe next time.
You guys got me nervous, when it’s delivered with the word XTINA written all over it. If you’re looking for perfect pitch and control then go listen to a f****** choir or an opera damn it.
Oh gosh if I was american i would be really upset if someone messes up my anthem like that damn that was horrible
Christina is known for her grit and rough vocals, something that you guys clearly criticize her for, when it’s the very thing that sets her apart from her peers. The artists you mentioned? We know them for they’ve been replicated a hundred times over. Christina amass her fans by giving the f****** vocals and performance of her life that is palpable EVERY DAMN TIME! Who cares about the “controls” and “pitch” that you guys mention? You’re making my eyes roll to the highest heavens! It’s not like we are on the edge of our sits shouting “Controls! Controls! Pitch! Perfect Pitch!” every time we watch a damn performance. I actually don’t remember being awed by a performance by these mere things.
She put her heart and soul into this song, and that’s more than enough for the message to carry through. Go crawl back from the woodwork and listen to your local choir.
“Ruins The National Anthem” WTF??!! it is National Anthem, not VMA or EMA and it must sound like this!
I didnt enjoy that @ all, I LOVE CHRISTINA & I AM UPSET BIONIC IS NOT DOING WELL, BUT this was a hot messs, i am sorry, she was just not on point like she used 2 be, sorry
LOL at all the vocal coaches! Do upload your audio rendition please… and show us how it’s done!
Well Jerome after that performance she will not be known for that but as the girl who messed up the american anthem like no one did before lmao. I’m sorry but it’s not few notes that she messed up but the all damn song from the beginning to the very end lmao.
The problem with this kind of voice is that either it’s really good or it’s really horrible espacially if it’s oversing, there’s no balance. She just need a vocal coach to find back control of her voice. I don’t hate her I used to really like the “ain’t no other man but you” performance that she did at the mtv movie awards that was like fantastic ! You should watch this to know what a good perfomance is
Its not as bad as people are saying. Im mad about the messing up the words more than the oversinging
Now im watching different versions on youtube. Whitneys is still the best. Mariah and Bey too. Jennifer Hudson did a great one at the democratic convention in 08, it wasnt superbowl though.
Kelly Clarkson did better than Xtina
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pC49AqKlgs&feature=related
Carrie Underwood did a really good job too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSiRUSjSJnQ&feature=related
Jordin Sparks did good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGQfHIfSWK0
And they dont have the range xtina has. They just know how to keep in tune and control it better. Xtina is too prideful to take vocal lessons. She needs to learn how to control it is all!
I never realized the word “America” had 72 syllables. What an absolute disgrace. I loved the camera pan to the pained face of the Packer’s player who was shaking his head, “No” during the middle of the song. Why not just sing the song instead of using those has been “runs. I thought “runs” were finally over in the mid nineties. Move on Christina, nothing to see here.
@S***, XTIna has pleanty of upbeat tracks (Come on over, Lady Marmalade, Dirrty, Car Wash, Aint No Other Man, Candyman, Keeps Gettin Better) so wtf are you talking about?
And last time i checked the only flop she has is “BIONIC” so she isn’t dropping them left and right like you claimed lol…
When Beyonce has her flop her fans are gonna get so ragged by EVERYONE lol
Vocally the performance was very good but forgeting the lyrcis…it’s happen but at the Super Bowl…
Christina’a voice is so strong. Best singer of her generation.
that was hella bad come on xtina
THAT WASN’T BAD … WHY IS “I GET SENT TICKETS TRENT” MAKING NOISE LIKE SHE FLOPPED THE PERFORMANCE.. NEXT *sips tea*
It amuses me beyond description to read the excuses many are making for this performance. In my opinion, if you are someone who is making millions from singing, then I expect you to deliver every. f*cking. time.
And, no, that isn’t too much to ask.
Standards have been greatly lowered in the last ten years. And don’t you worry about Mariah, Whitney or Beyonce’s versions of the national anthem, as all three have been placed in the top ten of all time (and by multiple, credible sources); worry about the fact that this is little better than Kat De Luna’s rendition.
The straining on the higher notes and the cracking at the end just wasn’t the business. I would say I expected better, but Christina has never really ‘delivered’ the SPB live. And she has had many an opportunity to do so.
The SPB is the test of a true vocalist, because it requires good control and technique. In addition, as it is the same song for everyone, one can judge vocal ability based on it alone if necessary.
As I’ve said before, due to misuse and lack of technique, Christina’s vocals have suffered substantial damage. She can no longer hit the notes of her heyday – or even attempt comparatively lower notes well enough. While Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson etc have improved with age, Christina has gotten worse. It appears to me that her reportedly huge ego has gotten in the way of her vocal improvement. Which is a shame because she has a natural gift, which, if it had been nurtured, would have been considered the greatest of our time.
*shrugs and goes back to newspaper*
GREATEST renditions of this song are done by Whitney, Mariah, and Beyonce in that order!
And that’s a FACT!!!
#Legendary
Christina’s screaming is so loud, unsettling and frightening, I can’t even explain it anymore. I have always criticized her singing, but this is just… No words. The last note alone gave me the feeling, the whole building could break down or something. It’s okay when you do some vocal runs, but not in every song and with this technique! Get it together Christina!
This wasn’t awful. I know how hard this song is to sing. It’s a big challenge and I give her credit for giving it a go live. Xtina really has some guts!
My favorite versions of the N.A. are:
Whitney Houston
Destiny’s Child
Beyonce
J, Hudson (not a fan of hers, but it was awesome)
Mariah Carey
*NEW* Check out my blog: Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com (where there’s a place for EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING has it’s place).
OH WHOOP DE DOOP, She sang a couple wrong words, stake her through the heart… WHATEVER… She did an AMAZING job and her voice is obviously matured and people need to get off her and leave her alone (I dare any of haters to get up there and sing the national Anthem in front of MILLIONS of people all over the world), and for your information BIONIC did not flop it still got to number one over here in the UK, and is still one of my fav albums of last year. Why do people hate on singers who do their god damned best?
I say Christina you did a damned good job and should be proud, f*** all of the people who rip you to s*** no matter what you do…. keep doing your things as your doing it GREAT!
best of ALL time in order
Whitney
Beyonce
J-Hud
I don’t care about the messed up lyrics. Her terrible voice killed it for me!!!
“What the hell” Avril said.
CHRISTINA GIRL THEM SHOES WAS ON POINT. BUT WHY DID YOU WEAR BLACK THIS IS NOT A FUNERAL. CUTE THO GO MA’MA
oh Christina *sigh* still love you.
People really need to get off her back, ….damn! People are so quick to point out someone elses mistakes. It was a mistake and she apologized.
I think the advertisers need to apologize too, for having boring commercials and the Black Eyed Peas sound horrible.
She has a great voice but this was too over done it’s an Athemn not an Aria
Have you guys seen the shade at Chriatina on Beyonce & Whirney’s anthem videos??
LMFAO people are saying s*** like “I came here after seeing Christina for closure” Lol
I feel bad for her..she’s going downhill in so many different ways
you know what would be funny if they ask rihanna to sing the anthem next year it’ll be worst than that but thank god she’s not american !! Poor xtina she was struggling so much !! get back control of your voice cause you have a beautiful one.
@Laurie
There’s an interesting video on YouTube that you may like to watch: Rihanna singing the National Anthem. LOL.
Yes, she already sang it and surprisingly she didn’t sound awful. I actually liked it.
I’ve seen worse, honestly.
em pls let’s know blame queen beyonce
Not only did she botch the lyrics but also was horribly off pitch and strained
Seriously, how can anyone think this woman is a great singer?
Her good quality voice is less than an octave, below Bb3 her sound becomes foggy and unsupported, and above Ab4 it is strained and coarse. I am amazed by the people who simply cannot hear how badly off tune she was.
@JEROME
Singing is about pitch and control, if one has no control over the pitch and is singing wildly flat sharp or whatever, who wants to put up with it? except Christina’s core audience…a bunch of queeny tone deaf gays and drag queens.
There’s no doubt to any real musician or music lover that Christina is a vocal beast, HOWEVER this performance did not do her justice at all. i am not a huge fan, but I am a fan who’s bought most of her albums, so I am quite disappointed to hear/see this, because I know what she is capable of! I wouldn’t dare say it was horrbile, that’s just hating and untrue, but it definitely was far from outstanding. I mean really, Carrie Underwood’s live performance at the Super Bowl last year made Christina’s look like it was on Ashanti’s or Kerri Hilson’s vocal level which is sad because they are around the same level. God Bless you Christina and I truly hope you get a chance to redeem yourself one day, somewhere.
She didn’t do bad at all well besides the part she messed up on but other than that she kept singing , I love her vocals and the way she sings though at times she does a bit much hopefully her grammy performance is better . She did an okay job but could’ve been a lot better .. By the way I watched Beyonce & Whitney Houston’s superbowl performances & nearly cried they both sang sooo beautifully .
I hate that kind of singing. It sounds like your trying to start an old car with all those runs. She ruined the anthem with her creativity.
STUPID!!! The Troops and football players knew she messed up right away…she’s so dumb..dressed in black to boot!
Christina must be on drugs, she actually thinks she looks good on The Voice. Put em away lady they don’t look good and no one wants to see them! Go on a diet fatty and tone up and lose some of that hip and b*** area. COMB your stupid hair! What a mess all the time, looks like straw. Set you beside cows and horses and they’ll try to eat it I’m sure.! Lol
I precisely wanted to thank you so much again. I am not sure the things that I would’ve accomplished in the absence of these strategies discussed by you over my theme. It previously was a very frustrating circumstance in my view, but discovering your professional manner you processed that made me to jump over joy. Now i’m happier for the assistance and then have high hopes you realize what an amazing job that you are providing teaching some other people thru a site. Most likely you have never encountered all of us.
