Christina Aguilera flubs National Anthem and then Grammy stumble
Christina Aguilera took a tumble on stage at this year’s Grammy Awards. The singer slipped during the 53rd annual ceremony few days ago, after she opened the show with a tribute to soul legend Aretha Franklin with fellow singers Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine, Martina McBride, and gospel singer Yolanda Adams. After belting out Franklin’s hits, including Respect, Think, and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Christina, 30, lost her footing and nearly fell from the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles but caught her balance before causing any serious damage. British singer Florence helped the star to her feet as the crowd gave the quintet a standing ovation. Christina’s stage blunder comes after the blonde singer famously bungled her lines while performing at last week’s Super Bowl. The songstress was performing at America’s NFL (National Football League) final game between Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers when the slip-up occurred. It is tradition for a well-known singer to perform a version of the US national anthem at the Super Bowl pre-game ceremony, and Christina gave a superb performance apart from her lyrical stumble. The singer should have sung: “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?” but repeated an earlier line with a minor variation.
