The 2011 Super Bowl XLV’s entertainment staff sought out Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem. An EXCELLENT choice. This woman has been my idol ever since I first heard her sing. She has control over her voice like no one else on the planet. I was thoroughly excited to watch her perform. She marched up to the mike and began. Her voice was immaculate and phenomenal- as always. She did, however, mess up a few lyrics here and there. Yes, it may have been to our country’s national anthem, but so what? She was singing live in front of thousands, not to mention the millions watching her on T.V.. So she got a little nervous. Is that a crime? The girl is talented out the ass. I would probably literally KILL to have her voice. And she messes up one little bit this one time and EVERYONE is on her about it.
“Come on, Christina. The National Anthem? Really?” they all say. I say she could have done the whole thing in Pig-Latin and I would have still been blown away by her voice. Perhaps it is just the fact that I, being a fellow singer with hopes to become as wonderful as she is, truly appreciate her gift and understand how incredible she is.
It is time for people to see past the humanistic error that she made and not verbally murder her about it. Because the truth really is that she is the best. The best of everyone. And she is human. That alone gives me hope that I may someday be like her. And we ALL screw up royally a few times in our life- we can’t help it. It’s in our DNA. But the difference is that SHE has taken her talent to the highest of levels and she should be celebrated for doing so. Not punished for being just like you. (and by you, I mean the ass-holes who think that they would never make the same mistake if put in her position. I for one would LOVE to see you try.)
