OUCH! Didn't Christina Aguilera practice either the music or the words to our national anthem? That was just awful! You would think that she would have at least hummed the tune before taking the stage or done a quick run-through of the words. Has to be at the top of the list for all-time worst performances of the national anthem, especially to a world-wide audience.
Updating After the Game: glad to see the Packers win it as they outplayed the Steelers. Big Ben forgot to wind his clock and missed game time.
Best Part of the SuperBowl: The GLEE special, which was outstanding. However, it must be noted that Sue Sylvester does NOT exist in real schools, nor do any schools anywhere have the performance budget GLEE has, including the wet stage for the Singing in the Rain mash-up and/or the professional make-up for tonight's Thriller, nor the sound system that makes the choir room sound like a sound stage.
But, other than Sue Sylvester being so far over the top that she gives even bad schools a bad reputation, I love GLEE and look forward to the new season, but please -- don't invite Christina Aguilera to be a guest performer. She needs to stay home and learn both the words and the tune for our national anthem just in case anyone ever asks her to perform the song in public again.

CA did a very good job last year for the first two home games for the Lakers. And then, in the third and fourth games, she started doing... whatever it is that you saw at the Super Bowl.
I find the big problem is that people forget that the national anthem tells a story. If they just sing the story, as written, it works and becomes a beautiful song. When they CA it up, and make themselves more important than the song, then you have screw ups and bad jobs.
Also funny that I was just saying to M tonight when we watched the Glee episode about the impossibly huge budget they must have for the choir; too funny.
