Christina Aguilera Talks About Super Bowl Incident

Posted on April 26, 2011 - 6:05am by Ciara

Everyone remembers what happened to Christina Aguilera at this year’s Super Bowl when she fumbled the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner. But she stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show -- airing today -- to set the records straight on why things happened the way they did.

“I took in the moment a little bit too much,” she said, adding that she’s been singing the song since she was 7 or 8 years old.

"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," she said.

Christina knew she messed up right after it happened, but the singer is ready to move on from the incident.

"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," she said. "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 [are] that much stronger."

While it may have been a tough year for Aguilera, she’s ready to turn things around with her new reality singing competition, The Voice, which premieres tonight on NBC.

What do you think about Christina messing up the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner? Honest mistake or should she be a bit more apologetic?
