Pop star Christina Aguilera says a band at a New Orleans bar denied her a turn on the mic the night before she performed in the city.
News outlets report Aguilera went to Cafe Negril the day before her Nov. 9 tour stop for her latest album, "Liberation." The multi-Grammy Award winner spent hours on the dance floor before offering to sing with the bar's Thursday night act, Claude Bryant and The AllStars.
Aguilera recounted the awkward rejection while on stage at the Saenger Theatre.
Bryant tells WGNO-TV he didn't recognize Aguilera wearing a baseball hat and a jersey, and instead asked if she wanted to dance. Bryant says he wants Aguilera to return and sing "Lady Marmalade," but really she can sing anything she wants with him.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.
The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.
Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
