Fergie defends XTina's anthem glitch
New Delhi: Fergie comes to Aguilera's rescue after the Genie in a Bottle singer messed up the words of the American National Anthem at the Super Bowl.

According to Christina, she got lost in the moment as a result of which, she lost her place in the song. the songstress further added,"I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."

The Black Eyed Peas singer jumped to Aguilera's defence - "You know what? It's such a huge venue, your nerves take a hold of you," Fergie told listeners during a radio show.

"I completely understand. She's one of the best singers of our time. Nobody can take that away from you... But you get nervous at these things. We're human."

Though the Burlesque singer is receiving a lot of flack for her little mix-up, she isn't the first to err when the Star Spangled Banner is concerned.In 2001, Macy Gray was famously booed for her off-kilter rendition of the national anthem.

She garbled the words at the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition game in Canton, Ohio, her home state.And in December in Kansas City, Mike Eli of the Eli Young Band mixed up the lines of the song so badly that he had to start over.
