CHRISTINA Aguilera fumbled a line of the national anthem but at least there were no wardrobe malfunctions at the Super Bowl.
The Grammy winner flubbed the lyrics of her rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which preceded the title game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers.
Instead of "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?," she said, "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming?," a variation of a line she had already performed.
She was criticized on Internet and social networking sites but there was none of the outrage caused when Janet Jackson infamously bared a breast after a "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The NFL has since turned to safer acts and the headline performers this year were the Black Eyed Peas, who made a spectacular entrance.
