Fergie’s rendition of national anthem at NBA All-Star Game widely ridiculed
It’s never a good thing when you sing the national anthem and people are reminded of Roseanne and Carl Lewis.
In case you didn’t know, that’s not a compliment.
Fergie certainly gave a unique performance on Sunday night at the NBA All-Star Game, and it was in the vein of, um, some sort of jazz.
The players were unsure of what to think as she sang, and people watching at home had all of the jokes.
First, here is the rendition of the anthem:

And this was but a sample of the reaction:
Fergie sang that Anthem so bad, Kaepernick stood up and told her not to disrespect the Anthem like that. pic.twitter.com/IXmMhupcsw

I’ve seen the national anthem performed hundreds of times but never in the key of “Happy Birthday Mr. President” congrats @Fergie

Stop tweeting me about Carl Lewis and Roseanne. You’d watch those again in a heartbeat. You will never want to rewatch Fergie’s ridiculous rendition.

Usually a fan of hers, but this I couldn't even finish. I feel like she is missing the point.

Not sure what Fergie was going for on that national anthem performance but if it was “my friends drunk mom acting sexy” she nailed it.

the NBA Players laughed more at Fergie's terrible attempt at the National Anthem more than Kevin Hart's jokes

And that was the last time we ever saw Fergie sing the national anthem.
