What was NBC thinking?!

So I just got done watching the tree lighting ceremony in New York on NBC. It was AWFUL!!!! There was maybe 2 or 3 good performances (TB, HCjr, JF) and everything else was poor. The WORST performance that night was when Beyonce sang her version of Ave Maria. When I first heard it I thought, is this really a song about the Virgin Mary or about Beyonce's lover? Then I went and looked up the lyrics and realized (if I read correctly) that it is about her lover!!!! What is that?!?!?! I'm not posting any videos from this show. I wasted my DVR space on it and my Christmas spirit has depressed itself a bit. If you want to watch it, I suggest you tubing it or going to NBC's website. Below are the lyrics from Beyonce's Ave Maria Song.

She was lost in so many different ways
Out in the darkness with no guide
I know the cost of a losing hand
Never thought the grace of god go high

I found heaven on earth
You were my last, my first
And then here this voice inside
Ave maria

I've been alone
When i'm surrounded by friends
How could the silence be so loud
But i still go home knowing that i've got you
There's us when the lights go down

You are my heaven on earth
You are my hunger, my thirst
I always hear this voice inside
Singing ave maria

Sometimes love can come and pass you by
While your busy making plans
Suddenly hit you and then you realize
It's out of your hands, baby you got to understand

You are my heaven on earth
You are my last, my first
And then i hear this voice inside
Ave maria
Ave maria
Ave maria
