Christina Aguilera might not be able to put the genie back in the bottle when it comes to her fumble at the Super Bowl on Sunday, but at least she can take comfort in knowing there's footage out there of her rehearsing the "Star-Spangled Banner"—flawlessly—at Cowboys Stadium the day before the big game.

While Xtina doesn't perform the song in its entirety in this video obtained by TMZ.com, what she does belt out is nevertheless pretty impressive. And not just because she sings a certain now-infamous lyric correctly, either.

Meanwhile, Aguilera is being offered a chance to redeem herself. The New York Mets' minor league team, the Brooklyn Cyclones, has invited the singer to perform at one of the team's home games this summer.
