Demi Lovato Hits a Home Run with National Anthem

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 25th, 2011

Demi Lovato has has a rough year with rehab, break-ups, and unwanted rumours. But the 19-year-old has tons to celebrate right now. Her new album, Unbroken, just came out and the Texan native was invited to sing the national anthem at Game 5 of the World Series.

Seen sporting a Texas Rangers jersey and blazer, Demi stood in front of over 50,000 people, showing off her great vocal range.

Demi told MTV News she was over the moon when approached with the offer.

“Getting to do this in my hometown of Dallas, Texas, is such a dream come true, because I’ve been to these Rangers games many times. I’ve sat in the nosebleed sections where you can barely see anything and now I’m going to be singing on the field. That to me is such a dream come true and it represents my journey and how far I’ve come.”

Check out the video of Demi below. Talk about a comeback!

Christina Aguilera Explains Super Bowl National Anthem Mistake

Posted by Samantha Lui on April 26th, 2011

While Christina Aguilera flubbed the lyrics to the national anthem at the Super Bowl, it’s a good thing she’s a good sport about it.

The singer, who sat down with Ellen Degeneres on Tuesday for an interview to talk about her new NBC show “The Voice”, Aguilera explained her infamous Super Bowl mishap.

“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 forgot the lyrics, the pop star did recognize her mistake, 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 Associated Press, 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.”

Well…as embarrassing as it might have been, you still have to give her props for her powerful vocals!
