Ingrid Andress performs unforgettable rendition of the national anthem at MLB Home Run Derby
Last night, country singer Ingrid Andress stunned the crowd watching the MLB Home Run Derby with her own rendition of the national anthem.
Most agreed her version was among the top, if not the worst rendition of all time.
“Wow! @IngridAndress actually did it, she united America #HRDerby,” a viewer tweeted.
The four-time Grammy nominated artist opened the Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas with a singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” that will go down in history.
From the opening notes, it was clear Andress’ rendition would be remembered for years to come.

People had a lot to say after listening to the country singer.
“I think we all owe Fergie an apology,” someone wrote referencing Fergie’s rendition of the national anthem at the 2018 NBA All Stars Game.
“Made fergie sound like whitney houston”
“Worst National Anthem I’ve ever heard. Just disrespectful asf.”
“I hope Ingrid Andress stays off of social media for a minute”
“I’m so sorry, I’m sure Ingrid Andress is a wonderful person, but that was one of the worst national anthems I think I’ve ever heard in my whole life.”
There’s no question that “The Star Spangled Banner” is an incredibly difficult song to sing, so maybe instead of potentially embarrassing singers venues should stick to using recordings of one of the best version of the national anthem of all time, Whitney Houston.
