Ingrid Andress National Anthem: The singer of the Home Run Derby reminds many of Roseanne Barr during Star Spangled Banner

The Star Spangled Banner opens every sporting event in the United States, sometimes resulting in tears and raw emotion.

Sometimes it’s the other way around: players and fans have to hold back their laughter at the disastrous performance of the national anthem. The latter was the case on Monday night at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby.

Ingrid Andress, a Grammy-nominated country singer, had trouble singing the Star Spangled Banner at the Derby. Her performance went viral and her fans mocked the performance on social media.

Here is the video of her singing as well as the reactions of some fans on social media.

Most of the reactions came on social media and were not supportive of Andress. People posted pictures of Klay Thompson and Donald Trump with bleeding ears.

Fans even mentioned Fergie, who famously struggled with her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.

With all due respect, and I mean this seriously, this is the worst anthem I have ever heard. Fergie would have been an improvement
