After flubbing the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XLV in Dallas last night, Christina Aguilera is apologizing for her disastrous performance. The 30-year-old singer released the following statement:

    "I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."


As she reached the fourth line of the song, which is "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming," Xtina sang, "What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming."
