Christina, you've got class for making a statement about your performance! As for everyone else... we have all made our share of mistakes. Everyone needs to take a loooooooooooooooooooooong look in the mirror!!! Keep Gettin Better Christina!!!
Any publicity is good publicity. You've gotten over a million hits on youtube.
We're all human, mistakes are made, don't sweat it. You are a great talent and if the ignorant can't see it, so what. You are an inspiration to me and many others. We got your back!
in a few years, this will be something you'll laugh about. it happens. don't sweat it. i think you're an amazing talent. you're young and have soo much life still ahead of you. hold your head up and keep on keeping on. don't let these silly haters get you down. they're losers.
Christina, you have the greatest voice of this generation. We are all human and make mistakes. Just ignore the negative comments, you are still the the best in my eyes.
Forget it...you still have one of the best voices on the planet!
no really. learn the words. it's a short song. rise above don't sink below to others' standards.
ITS OK CHRISTINA....WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES....I STILL THINK UR A PATRIOT! GO STEELERS!!!!
NO ONE I REPEAT NO ONE CAN TOUCH THE VOICE! so they find thing's they can reach! still fail though! pure god given talent!
I LOVE YOU XTINA <3 Rest your voice, practice a bunch and KNOCK EM' DEAD at the Grammy's!

Honestly, I'm not even a fan. I just came here to comment on the whole anthem issue. Listen honey, you were GREAT! If I had known you were such a vocal powerhouse I would have already been listening to your music. I'm a musician. Your styling and technique--awesome. Perfect pitch. So, you lost your place and missed a line--so it was our national anthem--big deal. Vocally, you covered well. You weren't trying to be disrespectful. Let the complainers complain. I personally thought your performance was solid and very moving. Ignore the critics, honey, if you had remembered the words they would be buzzing about your vocal style or your facial expression or your eye color or your outfit. Trivial. Truth is, you rocked!
well all know you are an amazing singer, don't let the haters get you down
Christina, you have the best voice i've ever heard! You sang the anthem beautifully. Everybody messes up, but we all need to Keep singing our song
I love you Christina, you are amazing and I would give anything to meet you!
we forgive you well at least i do <3 we all make mistakes ppl i mean come on now nobodys perfect.
Words can’t express my concern for you, Xtina. Everyone makes mistakes and I understand why you made the mistake at The Superbowl. Just hope you could learn from it. Hope the criticism didn’t take you down. ALWAYS LUV U!
christina, I can see if you missed a word or two but you missed a whole verse and you made up words in their place. Yes it is rough to sing in front of all those people and being on tv, but that is your job and why you get paid a lot of money. But the most important point is that is our country's song. If you were uncertain of the words, you should have practiced beforehand or had a cheat sheet. I understand s*** happens but next time something like this happens don't be so dramatic trying to cover it up. You just go on stage sing the song how it is suppose to be sung and not hallaring and I am sure you will do fine.
I'm not going to lie, but I was disappointed. but the fact is that you rocked it anyways like a true performer. <3
To err is human - as the saying goes. Our society focuses too much on others mistakes. How many of this critical people can even recite the National Anthem perfectly let alone sing it in front of millions. In my opinion, it was sung from your heart and that's what matters.
We all still love you very much and will stand by you no matter what. You are the greatest singer in the world!
Why are you even apologizing? This is stupid you did nothing wrong. You made a mistake.
I felt bad for you, we know you didn't do it on purpose or anything! I think you sounded great, I'm glad you have your fans to back you =) BEST WISHES!! ~Fabio
"If they say why?....why? Tell em that it's human nature." -Michael Jackson
its ok some people have done far than you did. what really stood out was how u handle it. it was kinda hard to tell u mess up, seeing as how u did show signs of weakness
"If they say why?....why? Tell em that it's human nature." -Michael Jackson
Please don't be too hard on yourself. It's human nature to make mistakes. And it was so minor; it was just a few words, not the entire anthem. I've seen the harshness of the comments people are saying and it's so stupid. Because if it was them up there, they'd want people to let the mistake slide. People are such hypocrites. And it's so easy for people to criticize. Don't listen to them. To be honest, I didn't even notice that anything was missing from the song. You did great! And the important thing is that you did your best. Besides, it's not like you changed the meaning of the song; the world didn't end either. People just take stupid things like that too seriously because they have nothing better to do. They also like to hurt people to make themselves feel better. So just know in your heart that your fans thought you were great and that you are talented no matter what anyone tries to say. Because again, mistakes happen. No big deal. So keep on singing! ^_^
No matter What u were selected to Be Performing at the Grammy, Because they know you are the best I love you
You did it like always you rock no matter what < I do really love so much and I am sure tha you gonna Rock @ the Grammys like you did before I love you xxx al the best
Girl,you rocked it! So one line got messed up..the rest was incredible! Your voice is like no other.
Girl, you know there will always be haters. They are jealous of your abilities. You know you know the words and we know you can sing. It's okay. Don't read too much into it. Others just want their 15 minutes of time. Keep moving forward and don't beat yourself up about it. It doesn't change the fact that people love you.
Dear Christina, many of us here in Norway, absolutely adore you, no matter what. I am so glad I got the oppourtunity to see you in Oslo. Just come back stronger, you do not have to worry. We love you the way you are!
Or as we say in this country: Kjærlighet to you:)
We are rooting for you Christina. Please go and get your life back. We know you can!

Hi Christina,
You are an amazing artist!
I am very impressed by your talent. Of course the love for this country came through. I am shocked, and that is why I am writing, that I am shocked by the arrogant and mean criticism, which is totally out of place, and criticising an genuine mistake in this way shows how incredibly disrepectful people can be.
All great artists become great through difficulties which they do not let hinder them from an overall goal.
Here's looking at you, so strong , so gifted!
You were amazing, amazing in Burlesque.I loved that you played a young woman who was stong willed, talented but a kind and a good person, It is a great role model and really inspiring.
Bravo!
CHRISTINA!!! U DONT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING!!!! YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!!! EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES!!! U ARE A HUMAN AND U CANNOT APOLOGIZE FOR THAT!!! U ARE AMAZING AND EVERYONE IS BEHIND YOU!!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND U WILL RISE ABOVE AND BEYONCE THIS!!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE U IN THE BIONIC TOUR!! FRONT ROW ALL THE WAY!!!!!
-DUSTIN!
I don't understand the critics!! where is the mistake? I mean, I don't really understand why some people say that she failed. She was incredible and perfect like always. Her voice was amazing, strong and .... GOD!!! ... It was PERFECT!!! I loved it! Keep going Christina... you were fabulous.
Love you xtina! Forever and ever!
You never disappoint me!! NEVER!! You're perfect
I believe your only fault was being...human: ) Such a wonderful performer. Please Please Please don't feel bad about it. You ARE the one and only and the very Best!!!
Animo Christina arriba sigue para adelante ahora esperare este domingo con ansias tu presentacion en los premios Grammy en donde con toda certeza dejaras con la boca abierta a todo el mundo y a los criticones les taparas la boca una vez mas para que se tragen sus palabras arriba Christina este domingo es tu gran oportunidad animo!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST OK
Christina, I've always been a fan of your work and music, but on the biggest stage, the most people watching any tv event ever, you came out with a big fail. I'm sorry, it wasn't ok. Yes it may have been an accident, but you're a professional singer on a level that 99% of musicians will never be at. I hope this finds you well for I am just giving this statement as constructive criticism. Take it easy and best of luck in the future!
Your performance for me was outstanding! Not because I'm a great fan of yours but because I believe that anyone who's gonna be given the chance to do the honors to sing a national anthem will absolutely feel a very extensive pressure, considering it is a huge event in the country! You did your best, Christina! I hope to see you here in Houston, TX! ☺
I personally want to see all the dumb haters go to any football field and sing the national anthem better than Christina. She made a mistake so GET OVER IT!! Nobody on this earth is perfect. I support you and I am a true fan.
