Maybe we should have had an American sing the American Anthem? I like TF's idea of the Glee girl!
Aguilera was born in Staten Island, New York, to Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, a sergeant in the US Army at the time, and Shelly Loraine (née Fidler), a Spanish teacher. Aguilera's father was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and her mother is of German, Irish, Welsh, and Dutch ancestry.... Just sayin..... You'd think it wouldn't have been an issue singing the National Anthem......
