Lauren Alaina Messes Up National Anthem On Thanksgiving Day
Former American Idol Runner-Up Lauren Alaina probably didn’t give thanks on Thursday for her chance to sing the American National Anthem at the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers game, that’s because she became yet another star who flubbed the anthem’s lyrics.
The flub quickly became a Twitter Top 10 Trending mishap and allowed her to join the ranks of other celebrities who have messed up our country’s anthem, stars who have included Roseanne Barr (by far the worst), Keri Hilson and most recently Christina Aguilera.
Alaina appeared a bit nervous when she took to the field for the traditional singing of the anthem and as she sang “What so proudly we hailed, through the twi…” at which point she paused for five awkward seconds.
Here’s a video of Lauren Alaina’s National Anthem mishap:
It can happen to anyone who happens to be singing in front of a sold out crowd but it’s never the less always awkward to witness.

Oh my gosh. Look at all the people so close to her. That is unnerving in itself. Lauren has sang the National Anthem flawlessly in the past. I think her nerves got the best of her. Besides she just sang at the White House on Monday.

The article neglected to mention that after her pause she picked it back up and finished strong. She made a mistake but she recovered and stuck with it. Proud of her.

Who of us hasn't had an awkward nervous moment? Time to let this go. She finished strong and sounded great as usual. She has proven over and over what a trooper she is and a great performer.

Her voice was absolutely beautiful! She misspoke ONE word, paused and picked it right back up. She surely didn't "forget" the words. I'm sure she'll nail it again next time just like she did at the Red Sox game and others.

Also, she has sung the anthem before. Look her up singing at the Red Sox game, where she didn't miss any words. She just had a bout of nerves, that's all. She knows the words.

The announcer at the game said what matters is how you finish and she did with courage and conviction.
