Ciara Sings National Anthem, Exposes Lots of Cleavage

Ciara sang the National Anthem prior to the College Football National Championship Game on Monday night, which was won by Alabama over Clemson, 45-40.


Unlike other famous singers at major sporting events, Ciara did not forget any of the iconic track"s lyrics.


But she did forget a few layers of clothing.


As you can see below, Ciara (who has a connection with professional football because she"s dating Russell Wilson) belts out the country"s theme song with incredible range and talent.


She also does so in a sheer dress that leaves her chest region largely exposed.


Was this really appropriate for the occasion, a sporting event watched by millions of people, including children?


Not according to reporter Bonnie Bernstein, who Tweeted, the following after seeing Ciara sing live:


Dear Ciara. You"re stunning. But this is a National Championship Game. Kids are watching. Cover up.


Not everyone on Twitter agreed with Bernstein"s assessment, however.


“@BonnieBernstein How dare she partially reveal her body when children are preparing to watch 21-year olds destroy each other for no money!” replied one user, while another added simply responded with a photo of scantily-clad cheerleaders at the game.


Many also turned Bernstein"s critique into a racial issue, which prompted her to follow up a short while later with:


"Truly am amazed at how people take a tweet (that includes a compliment!) & wanna make it about  race. Seriously. Grow up. Watch the game."


Check out Ciara"s performance here and response: Should she have covered herself up more, given the patriotic circumstance of her routine?
