I've been to concerts where the artists mess up lines that they wrote themselves so I don't think it's the end of the world that she flubbed the anthem. It happens. A split second of distraction and you trip up.

It's regrettable but not worth reaming her over.
She still has a tremendous voice.

Question: Who hasn't fucked up the National Anthem? Not a big deal. It's time to officially change the National Anthem to American the Beautiful. More people like it. Everyone can sing it. And it's better written than the current "Oh say can you see blah, blah, blah . . "

I thought she faded into obscurity already.

Handing the role of singing the national anthem of the largest industrialized nation in the world to someone who lacks the IQ to get a lawnmower started may not have been the best idea, but it's possible she did know the words but botched it on purpose to get her name back in the headlines.

I haven't seen the video though and don't give much of a shit either way.

What a pretentious thing to say.

Did you want someone with a fucking PhD up there? I didn't know intellect dictated talent.

"the largest industrialized nation in the world" was a wonderful touch.

Interesting choice for a "first post".

Not someone with a PhD, just someone who can remember the words to their own nation's fucking anthem. Too much to ask?

Since you didn't know intellect dictated talent, I guess you thought people scouted for talent among the down-syndromed instead of universities.

I agree with your last sentence. You'll note I spelled 'industrialized' with a 'z' to accomodate American readers, even though we spell the word with an 's' in Australia. I'm just a thoughtful guy, I guess.

Anyway, I don't want to start a thing, I'm sorry if my dislike for CA offended you.

Aguilera is just the latest in a long line of singers who screw up "The Star Spangled Banner".

If pop singers just realized that this the American national anthem, not a top ten single that they can twist and shrill the words to in order to showcase their alleged talents.

Just sing the song, straight, as it was written in 1812 and stop trying to make it your latest hit.

I have the exact opposite opinion. I always thought the fun of listening to someone sing the national anthem was to see how majestic and glorious he/she could make it with his/her personal vocalizations. I'd much rather hear a showcase of a singer's talents, even if the words are messed up, than listen to a boring rendition that is lyrically perfect. If singers just sang it straight and boring, I would never bother to listen to it.

You're just jealous of our big guns and long range missiles. :tongue1:

Yet you still felt compelled to leave a turd of a post. :rolleyes:

Well, if there is a discussion about an asshole, such as Christina A or, let's say, you, I feel the need to leave a nasty comment.

Countless of performers have fumbled on stage. It happens. It doesn't matter how well you may think you know the content, it still happens.

You're more than entitled to say it was a bad performance, but to claim that an undeniably talented performer should never have been given the opportunity because she "lacked" the "necessary" IQ is actually laughable.

Since you didn't know intellect dictated talent, I guess you thought people scouted for talent among the down-syndromed instead of universities.

Christina does! I heard from a friend of a friend that she's deeply upset by this thread. She wants to apologise for letting the big peen community down. :cool::biggrin1:

Well, the big peen community is SO influential. We must be more careful not to abuse our power in the future, and focus our energies on more important issues, like lowering the water level in public toilets to prevent accidental dunking and petitioning the fashion industry to make pants more accommodating and comfortable for the afflicted, er, I mean, gifted among us.

Of course you're free to do that, but don't be surprised if people think you're an asshole.

Welcome to LPSG, noob. or are you?

Yes, it was. The post count on your profile when you posted it was "1". And anyone can view your post history and verify that it was in fact your very first post.
Unless he's a multiple account user, and/or someone "returning to the fold". :wink:

I propose a Million Peen March on Washington! Who's with me?! :biggrin2:

Me!


Sounds like a good excuse for a holiday. Do I need a peen to qualify for the march? I really, really, really like peens. *hopes that's enough to qualify*

Can I suggest a slogan, "measure it*, pleasure it!"

*accurately
