SUPER BOWL XLV

BOWL TRIVIA PART I

NATIONAL ANTHEM ALL GAMES

Super Bowl parties come in all all shapes and sizes, some last a few hours some all day and night. The crowd can be two to hundreds or more. The one thing that almost all have in common is that sooner or later it is Super Bowl trivia time (like it or not).
So to make it a little easier for you to be right more than you are not, I will do my best over the next two weeks to give you plenty of ammo, from who sang what when, to major stats for Super Bowl games over the years.
There are always the side bets, game bets, block polls, and yes indeed trivia games for a few beers or bucks. So be prepared!
And as always good luck on all your wagers on Super Bowl Sunday

CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

AT SUPER BOWL XLV ON FOX

Five-time Grammy award winning singer-songwriter CHRISTINA AGUILERA will sing the National Anthem as part of Super Bowl XLV pregame festivities at Cowboys Stadium in North Texas on Sunday, February 6, the NFL and FOX announced today. The performance will be televised live on FOX prior to kickoff.

More than 153 million viewers in the U.S. watched last year’s Super Bowl, the most-watched television program in history. The pregame show and Super Bowl XLV will be broadcast worldwide.

“I have been performing the Anthem since I was seven years old and I must say the Super Bowl is a dream come true,” Aguilera said. “I am really excited to be part of such an iconic event.”

Aguilera returns to the Super Bowl having performed during halftime of Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta. She is among many great performers who have been honored with singing the Super Bowl National Anthem including: Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond, Whitney Houston, Harry Connick, Jr., Garth Brooks, Natalie Cole, Vanessa Williams, Luther Vandross, Jewel, Cher, Faith Hill, the Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, Dixie Chicks, Beyoncé Knowles and many more. (See below for a complete list of National Anthem performers from past Super Bowls.)

The NFL previously announced that THE BLACK EYED PEAS will perform in the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLV Halftime Show.

The pregame and halftime shows are an NFL NETWORK PRODUCTION and will be executive produced by RICKY KIRSHNER.
