Lea Michele > Christina Aguilera

1. With only a few quavers here and there, Lea Michele gave Superbowl fans a charming rendition of "America the Beautiful."
2. Following her, Christina Aguilera showed America her vocal gymnastics as opposed to her respect for our country.
3. The "dog-whistle school of singing," made famous by Mariah Carey, has its own acolyte in Ms. Aguilera.
4. To kick her when she's down, I will note the horror that was Ms. Aguilera's weave, as well.
