Ouch!

It seemed like the audience went with the most logical choice for the flubbed line, presuming a confusion of fight/night.

I don't recall these incidents. How did the flubbed lines go?

Okay, I always have trouble hearing the lyrics correctly (there's a reason I defend the LS cellar) but it sounded like Christina flubbed a lot more than that line.

Through the paperless fight, for example.

No pony for Avery. As for me I might well have done the same thing. I didn't know the answer and a 54% audience response looks like enough to go for it.
