Simon Cowell says when Christina Aguilera sang “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl, it sounded like the noise a cat makes when someone sits on it. During an interview with Fox News, he was asked what he thought of Aguilera’s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, during which she sang the wrong lyrics. He replied, “Well, I just heard it then and it sounded like a 100,000 people in a stadium had just sat on a cat,” he responded. When the clip began to play again, he begged, “No, don’t play me any more!” He continued: “Well look, obviously she is regretting it now. She must be. I’m listening to it here in London and it didn’t sound great to me. But to mess the words up? Not great. But I always say this, this is what happens when you perform in front of an audience – even someone as experienced as Christina. You can get it wrong.” Joan Rivers also had something to say about Aguilera’s mistake. “How stupid can you get?” Rivers told PopEater. “Christina must have been thinking about food, that’s why she forgot the words. She’s gotten so big. She looks like she could eat Lady GaGa. Great way to get rid of competition.”
