'American Idol's' Steven Tyler on New Aerosmith Album: 'It's Written'

Christina Aguilera Opens Up About National Anthem Flub
The American Idol judge, sporting his signature scarf -- this time with a sequined Patriots theme -- sung “The Star Spangled Banner” before the game. While fans at the stadium cheered on the Aerosmith frontman, others expressed some harsh criticism of the singer on the web.
VIDEOS: Famous Flubs of the National Anthem
The AP wrote, “Let’s just say the rendition probably wouldn’t get him to Hollywood.” And Yahoo added: “He most definitely would not have made it to the next round on the show and I am sure Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson would have had some interesting words to say had he been singing in front of them.”
Tyler isn’t the first singer to have a tough time with the National Anthem. During this past baseball season, former American Idol contestant Scott McCreary flubbed the lyrics. And at least year’s Super Bowl, The Voice judge Christina Aguilera also tripped over the lyrics, later explaining that she got lost in the moment -- and lost her place in the song.
All eyes will be on the very first Idol winner on Super Bowl Sunday when Kelly Clarkson will take the stage to perform the National Anthem. Hopefully, she'll have an easier time than the Idol judge handling the arduous task of belting out the opening number for Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5.
Watch Steven Tyler’s performance below:

You know how some people go to car races just to see accidents? That's me with National Anthem singers. I tune in (perhaps only for a second or two) just to catch their rendition. I was curious as to whether Tyler would hit that top note or not. Somehow, he screeched it out. I'm still hurting! I'm guessing that I do not like 9 out of 10 "performers". I like choirs doing it.

They should have had the US Army or Marines Band.

At least it is not as bad as when Roseanne Barr sang it. Remember?

Yes I do remember that.She was totally awful and mouthing.

I am not a Steven Tyler fan and was not a great fan of Aerosmith either. It is clear from the player's faces that many of them did not much like his rendition of our anthem, but I am not sure that our anthem suits many voices well. It is hard to sing, and for some reason, most singers think that to sing it 'reverently' means to sing it like it was a dirge. That drives me nuts! It is not a funeral, it is our anthem! Doesn't anyone ever think to reference the cadence in the original scores?

I didn't care for his raw grating vocal, but I didn't like Arrowsmith much either.

I understand what your saying.But he was the entertainment there.

I liked it... it's Steven Tyler and THAT is his voice! What did they expect? Ridiculous...

wrong reply.Maybe respect in this.This does not go over big with everyone.
Did you see the expression on the players

you mean that he is a drag queen.
reply by fredo on Jan 23, 2012 11:46 AM ()
It was 'pitchy' for sure. I stopped watching American Idol entirely because Steven Tyler creeps me out with his smarmy remarks and he looks like a 70 year-old woman trying to appeal to 'the young people.'
