Singer Ingrid Andress went viral Monday (July 15) night following her rendition of the national anthem at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Several X users bashed the performance, including one user who called it, "the worst national anthem I've ever heard.
“That rendition of the national anthem was more harmful to America than Pearl Harbor,” another X user wrote.
“New awful national anthem just dropped,” another user posted.
Several singers and celebrities have garnered negative attention for their renditions of The Star-Spangled Banner' at sporting events, which included comedian Roseanne Barr shout-singing the national anthem at a San Diego Padres game in 1990 before grabbing her crotch and spitting on the pitcher's mound while being booed.
Pop singer Fergie also went viral for her unique rendition of the national anthem during the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, for which she later apologized.
“I’m a risk-taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone,” she said via the New York Post. “I love this country and honestly tried my best.”
