5 Worst National Anthem Flubs

Christina Aguilera is far from the first person to have bungled the national anthem. PopEater lists a few other high-profile, and hilarious, examples:

• Jesse McCartney: At a 2009 NASCAR race, he managed to skip an entire verse within seconds of starting the anthem.

• Michael Bolton: He forgot the words, and then quite possibly made it worse by very obviously looking at his hand—where he apparently had a national anthem cheat sheet.
• Eli Young Band: Perhaps the worst offense of all, the singer totally blanked on the words and had to start over.
