Christina Aguilera, 30, performed 'The Star Spangled Banner' in front of millions on Sunday Night's Super Bowl XLV. The Five-time Grammy Award winner sang the song with that same powerful voice we have all grown to love, however, the legend did make a mior mistake in the song's lyrics. Aguilera replaced, "o'er the ramparts we watched" with "what so proudly we watched." A very minor mistake that the average person would have missed. Minutes after her vocal-house performace, media sources sounded-off with hate over the performance. Focusing entirely on her (again i say, MINOR) flub.
So when did all news reports become negative? Or better yet, so targeted? Why not focus on the fact that she is one of the best vocalist around today? Let's ask Miss Britney Spears to belt out the lyrics in place of Miss Aguilera next time. Better yet, how about Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, or Rihanna for that matter. No one can do it like Christina. Now, I have absolutley NO hate for any of the other performers previsouly mentioned but it's the truth. All of them have their own style and ways of singing/performing and all of them have messed up some lyrics here and there. It happens. They may get paid millions but they are still human.
Christina has such a powerful voice, why not focus on that? Why must everyone be so negative and target Aguilera for something so small, when her voice comes out so large. Yes, it's out National Anthem and yes, she has sang it many times before, but, mistakes happen. Let us all focus on the good and less on the negative. In a nation so eager to put an end to bullying, our main sources of information seems to keep targeting people for minor flaws.
Let's review that national anthem one last time and try to focus on what makes this woman the voice of my generation, and maybe yours as well.
Sound off...
Great blog esp love how you incorporated the bullying... You said it best when you say we are all human and we ALL make mistakes...
ReplyDeleteDAVEE: YOU ARE CORRECT IN SAYING MANY PEOPLE COULD MAKE A MISTAKE AT LEAST HER'S WAS NOT PLANNED AND WAS NOT MADE OUT DISRESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE A CERTAIN FEMALE ACTOR WHO SCREAMED THE LYRICS AND DISRESPECTFULLY MADE SOME GESTURE. YOU GO CHRISTINA!
ReplyDeleteApplause! Applause! Very well written.Why? Because you spoke from your inner core about what is important in this world. You nailed it when you stated "we're all human....we all make mistakes" and "it is a form of bullying". Amen!
