Christina Aguilera has been hitting the talk-show circuit to talk about her new show ‘The Voice.' which airs tonight. She appeared on ‘Ellen’today and spoke to the hosts about messing up the National Anthem, and her recent divorce from Jordan Bratman.
Christina on her new boyfriend
Ellen: And you have a new boyfriend....
Christina: (laughing) I didn't know you were going to ask me about that?
Ellen: I'm not asking, I'm just telling you incase you don't know. You don't have to respond but you have a new boyfriend.
Christina: There is someone very lovely in my life. Yes.
Ellen: That's all that matter's is that you're happy. It's hard. Divorce is hard.
Christina: It definitely is hard.
Ellen: You deserve to have fun and date and stuff...
Christina: Absolutely.
Ellen: Don't you?
Christina: Yes.
Christina on singing the National Anthem
Ellen: I saw you sing (at the Super Bowl)
Christina: That's right, I did sing at the Super bowl.
Ellen: I saw it and didn't see anything. Then it was this huge thing...then I felt stupid that maybe I didn't know the lyrics.
Christina: I had been singing that song my entire life. I was the youngest anthem singer in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. I sang for the "Steelers" when I was this big (as a child.)
Ellen: How old were you?
Christina: I think 7 or 8 years old. I would sing for them. I think had a moment where I was at the "Super bowl" at 30 years old. I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment but here I am at the "Super bowl"...singing for a team and in front of the world. And remembering what it was like to be that young and look where I made it now. And then it was like, oh. That night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question...In 2011 what female singer, ya know, flubbed the lyrics. It's just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you that much stronger.
