We all remember that performance that Christina Aguilera gave at the Super Bowl this year. How she ever so slightly forgot the words to the national anthem. At the time, I just chalked it up to Christina’s issues with booze, but I was wrong. No, Christina was on Ellen today, and Celebitchy has the transcript, so let’s allow Christina to explain herself:
Ellen: I saw you sing (at the Super Bowl)
Christina: That’s right, I did sing at the Super bowl.
Ellen: I saw it and didn’t see anything. Then it was this huge thing…then I felt stupid that maybe I didn’t know the lyrics.
Christina: I had been singing that song my entire life. I was the youngest anthem singer in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. I sang for the “Steelers” when I was this big (as a child.)
Ellen: How old were you?
Christina: I think 7 or 8 years old. I would sing for them. I think had a moment where I was at the “Super bowl” at 30 years old. I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment but here I am at the “Super bowl”…singing for a team and in front of the world. And remembering what it was like to be that young and look where I made it now. And then it was like, oh. That night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question…In 2011 what female singer, ya know, flubbed the lyrics. It’s just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you that much stronger.
I’m not super good at following Christina’s drunk talk just yet, but is she saying that she messed up the lyrics because she was having too much fun and not because she’d just shotgunned some beers with some Steelers?
She’s a cunt
