Christina Aguilera- National Anthem at Super Bowl

Christina Aguilera performed the National Anthem live at the Super Bowl in Dallas, Texas tonight... and although she is a great vocalist, this performance was all wrong. Not only did she mess up the lyrics, but the last note was rough. I'm sure there's a difference between hitting a high note and plain out screaming. Props to her for singing live, but Carrie Underwood did miles better last year.

Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry

Check out this shot of Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry at the Creative Aritst Agency Super Bowl party yesterday. Yes, that's Daughtry with hair. I don't think we've seen that look on the dude ever before.

And on a side note, Carrie's performance of the National Anthem during the opening of tonight's Super Bowl has been highly praised by critics:

Daily Contributor: Carrie Underwood’s version of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the pregame show prior to Super Bowl 2010 is one of the best renditions I’ve heard at a sporting event.

Tech Banyan: Carrie Underwood Super Bowl appearance is one of the highlights of tonight’s match.

USA Today: Moments later, with the color guard closely behind her on a makeshift stage at midfield, Underwood belted out a stunning rendition of the national anthem. Seconds after finishing the final note, Underwood looked toward the sky with a big smile as four F-15s flew over the stadium before peeling away on full afterburner, rattling the seats at Sun Life Stadium.

My Gloss: Then, a white-jumpsuited Carrie Underwood stepped out to belt out the National Anthem and once again proved she’s more than worthy of her American Idol win and countless awards earned thereafter. Underwood’s rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” was accented by fireworks and most notably, moving images of American soldiers in Kabul, Afghanistan.

MTV: Carrie Underwood excels no matter what the context. Fresh off her headline-grabbing contribution to the Michael Jackson tribute at this year’s Grammy Awards (where she adroitly weaved her way through Jackson’s “Earth Song”), Underwood took the microphone in front of a sold-out Sun Life Stadium in Miami to deliver a killer rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the kickoff to Super Bowl XLIV.

Super Bowl XLIV Champions: New Orleans Saints

It is good to see a team that has never been to a Super Bowl walk away with the win. Huge congrats to New Orleans and their champions The Saints for winning the Super Bowl XLIV. They do deserve it, they played an amazing game. Well done!

Inspired by a city still rebuilding from the 2005 devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Saints captured their first Super Bowl crown on Sunday by rallying for a 31-17 triumph over Indianapolis.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed a Super Bowl record-tying 32 passes in 39 attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns to claim Most Valuable Player honors in the National Football League's championship spectacle.

"We just believed in ourselves," Brees said. "We knew we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us. It was all meant to be. It was all destiny."

It was Tracy Porter's 74-yard interception return touchdown with 3:12 remaining that sealed the epic victory, one that had Saints fans in the stands chanting their cajun battle cry - "Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints?"

"Other teams have won championships. Our city needed this," Saints rusher Reggie Bush said. "That's what makes it special."

Just 4 1/2 years ago, the Saints' domed stadium became a house of horrors for those trapped by floodwaters and waiting in vain for help or rescue.

"You can't put it into words. The city and region have been through so much. They have been so supportive this whole time," said Saints receiver Marques Colston, who caught seven passes for 83 yards.

"We knew this as going to be a hard Super Bowl but we believed in each other and we got it done. It's incredible."

The Saints' victory touched off the biggest celebration of all in a city nicknamed "The Big Easy" and known for its Mardi Gras party scene.

"New Orleans is back and this showed the whole world," said Saints owner Tom Benson.

"We put this city on our back four years ago and now it's all worth it," Saints safety Roman Harper said.

The Saints, once laughing-stocks that Benson was looking to relocate, had been losers for most of their 43-year history and fell behind 10-0 to the Colts before bouncing back to deny Indianapolis a second title in four seasons.

"Everyone knows what the city has gone through," Saints defender Darren Sharper said. "That's what makes it special. They've wanted it for a long time."

Porter stepped in front of Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, picked off a pass from Indianapolis star Peyton Manning and returned it to the end zone to put the Saints ahead by the final margin.

"He made a great play," Manning said. "Porter just made a great play."

Manning, who had engineered an NFL-best seven victory comebacks in the fourth quarter this season, drove the Colts to the New Orleans 3-yard line but a fourth-down incompletion with 44 seconds to play sealed the Saints' triumph.

"Never got into a great rhythm," Manning said. "We were certainly worse in our final possession. Certainly it was disappointing."

Manning, whose father Archie was a former Saints star, completed 31-of-45 passes for 333 yards and a touchdown but one deadly interception.

Brees went 7-for-7 for 44 yards in marching the Saints 59 yards in 4:57 to give New Orleans the lead for good on a two-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeremy Shockey with 5:42 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Saints went for a two-point conversion pass that was ruled incomplete. New Orleans called for a video review and the call was overturned, Lance Moore being credited with possession in the end zone for a 24-17 Saints lead.

Manning entered and had moved Indianapolis to the New Orleans 31-yard line when Porter made the interception that sealed the victory.

New Orleans recovered an onside kick to begin the second half and Brees moved the Saints 58 yards in just six plays for their first lead at 13-10 on a 16-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Thomas only 3:19 into the third quarter.

"That was a bold move," Colts blocker Ryan Diem said. "The element of surprise got us."

The Colts answered with a four-yard touchdown run by Joseph Addai for a 17-13 lead 8:45 into the third quarter, but Garrett Hartley followed with his third field goal, a 47-yard effort, to pull New Orleans within 17-16.

Hartley hit field goals of 44 and 46 yards in the second quarter, pulling the Saints within 10-6 at half-time after the Colts took the lead on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Pierre Garcon and a 38-yard field goal by Matt Stover, the oldest player in Super Bowl history at age 42.

Super Bowl XLIII Champions: Pittsburgh Steelers!!

Definitely an exciting game, to say the very least. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the new champions of the Super Bowl XLIII which took place in the Raymond James Stadium in Florida! They were able to pull in a score of 27 to 23 beating the Arizona Cardinals. It was a great great game, especially the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. What sticks out to me the most, however, is the play at the end of the second quarter, which was insane! Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers for their well deserved win and sixth overall Super Bowl championship!
