Folks might’ve thought Fergie gave the worst National Anthem performance ever — but a new contender has entered the chat for a chance at the title … and her name’s Ingrid Andress.
The country singer was tapped as the talent to belt out the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ Monday during MLB’s special event … and as soon as she started to croon, it became clear this was gonna be one for the record books, for all the wrong reasons.
Take a listen … Ingrid was kinda all over the place with her notes in the performance, and yes it was pretty off-key too at various points — so bad in fact, some players looked like they were about to burst out laughing.
Take Alec Bohm of the Phillies for example … the camera panned to him during the song, and he was fighting back against a big grin that was spreading across his face.
Ditto for other players who were standing by and taking it all in … there were a lot of confused faces — and even more notes of disapproval could be heard from the crowd. There wasn’t a lot of cheering … but more so screams of shock and dismay.
Like we said … it was objectively terrible — that’s what the internet’s saying anyway — and of course, the Fergie comparisons were swift … with many saying Fergie’s been vindicated.
As you know, Fergie performed at the NBA All-Star game in 2018 and belted out a unique version of the Nat’l Anthem. She’s held this crown for years, but now … Ingrid’s the queen.
‘Murica!
