“Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?”

Do these lyrics sound familiar? Possibly? Well, they should.

On the biggest stage of her life, with 111 million viewers, Christina Aguilera butchered the lyrics, to our National Anthem.

Although she apologized profusely, there is no excuse for a professional singer to mess up song as common as our nation’s song.

Aguilera’s blunder, combined with the lack of comedic commercials and Fergie’s off key rendition of the classic “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and her own songs resulted in a lack luster Super Bowl. The only thing enjoyable was the game itself.

Despite the initial feeling of disappointment at the lack of amusing commercials, we decided that amongst the bad, there was a few memorable advertisements sparsely dabbled throughout the broadcast.
The leading advertisers this year were Doritos, Bud Light, Bridgestone and Volkswagen.

Who could resist chuckling at the kid dressed in a Darth Vader costume using the force?

We had high hopes for the half time show as well and were thoroughly disappointed in that aspect too.

Fergie’s harsh vocals belting out with lead guitarist Slash, stung our ears like a swarm of Africanized killer bees.
The other members of the show preformed as expected.

The game itself was the only truly enjoyable part of the night.

Despite a lopsided start in the Packer’s favor, the Steelers managed to make the game respectable and kept us from losing all sanity.
In the end the good guys won.

In the end, this year’s Super Bowl will be remembered as a year of bad singing, so-so commercials, and for Brett-I mean Aaron Rodgers.
