1. Christina Aguilera Singing the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLV

This moment stands at the top of our countdown because there’s nothing more embarrassing than messing up the lyrics of your country’s National Anthem. All Americans learn “The Star-Spangled Banner” at an early age, so chances are that “Xtina” never learned the proper lyrics. Instead of “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming” the pop star’s free version was “What so proudly we watched, were so gallantly streaming”. The Super Bowl always gives us memorable moments to cherish forever, from lip-syncing to nude breasts; but there’s definitely nothing more horrifying and embarrassing than that National Anthem debacle.
