Oh, say can you sing the wrong the words?

Christina Aguilera had Super Bowl viewers booing from their couch, when she flubbed the words to the National Anthem at Sunday's big game. Though her voice couldn't have sounded better, the Grammy winner noticeably botched the second verse of the "Star Spangled Banner".

When she was supposed to sing the line "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming," she sang, "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming," completely mangling an earlier lyric, with the word "watched" instead of "hailed" and "reaming" instead of "gleaming."

Though the crowd in Arlington, Tex., didn't seem to notice or care, those with the power to rewind live television had a field day.

Acknowledging the mishap after her performance, Aguilera said, "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."
