Country music performer Ingrid Andress astonished the MLB Home Run Derby audience last night by performing the national anthem in her own unique style.
The consensus was that her performance was one of the best, if not the best, of all time. “Whoa! A spectator tweeted, “@IngridAndress actually did it, she united America #HRDerby.” The four-time Grammy nominee made history by singing “The Star Spangled Banner” to kick off the Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. It was obvious from the first notes that Andress’ performance would live on for a long time.
Following their listening to the country artist, people had a lot to say. Someone commented, “I think we all owe Fergie an apology,” in reference to Fergie’s playing of the national anthem during the NBA All-Stars Game in 2018. “It gave Fergie a Whitney Houston sound.”
The National Anthem is the worst I’ve ever heard. Simply said, a rude ass. “I hope Ingrid Andress takes a brief break from social media.” “I apologise, that was one of the worst national anthems I think I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I know Ingrid Andress is a wonderful person.” The fact that Ingrid Andress hasn’t missed a note is astounding. That #HomeRunDerby was excruciating.
Without a doubt, “The Star Spangled Banner” is an extremely difficult song to sing. Perhaps instead of risking embarrassing performers, venues should continue to playing Whitney Houston’s performance of the national anthem, which is among the best ever.
