Poor Christina Aguilera! For being one of the most gift performers of this generation, she’s still taking a lot of flack for flubbing up the lyrics to the National anthem at this year’s Super Bowl. Leave her alone already! Christina sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on her show this week to talk about the mistake that still haunts her.

The Huffpo Reports:

“I had been singing that song my entire life. I was the youngest anthem singer in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. I sang for the Steelers when I was this big,” she said, referring to her pint size childhood stature. “I think 7 or 8 years old. I would sing for them. I think had a moment where I was at the Super Bowl at 30 years old. I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment but here I am at the Super Bowl… singing for a team and in front of the world. And remembering what it was like to be that young and look where I made it now.”

While she did forget the lyrics, Aguilera did recognize the screwup, and just how many people had seen it.

“And then it was like, oh. That night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question,” she joked. “‘In 2011 what female singer, ya know, flubbed the lyrics.’ It’s just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you that much stronger.”

Aguilera had similar comments about the mixup right after the game went down. In a statement to the AP, Aguilera said, “I got so lost 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.”
