In what will certainly be the first of many, many more to come, Christina Aguilera's ad for the voter-registration lobbying organization Rock The Vote premiered online last night; she eschews her famous melismas and lung-busting antics for a simple near-croon of "America The Beautiful," which she sings, lullaby-style, to her American-flag-swaddled baby. Apparently, this ad is supposed to pay tribute to Madonna's 1992 commercial for the organization, although I'm not sure how it does so beyond wrapping a person in a flag and giving Christina a blonde mop that vaguely resembles the one Madge sported 16 years ago. Original clip after the jump.
Why do I have a feeling that there's going to be a straight remake of this ad by N.E.R.D. in the coming months? Call it a hunch.

this commercial was actual quite soothing and wonderful. i liked it. until she started talking. it was all loud and ugly. it made me uncomfortable. it took me out of the happy place the first 26 seconds put me into.
