Singer Ingrid Andress roasted for ‘painful’ national anthem performance at MLB Home Run Derby

Not music to their ears.

Ingrid Andress faced widespread criticism for her now-viral performance of the national anthem ahead of the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby in Arlington, Texas, on Monday night.

The country singer struggled with her pitch as she delivered a shaky a cappella rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” which was described as “painful” on social media.

Several players on the field, including Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm, could be seen attempting to hide their laughter as the musician completely missed the notes.

What she passing a kidney stone???!!😂😂😂

[jussayinmipeece]

she sounds like my cat trying to pass a hairball. Did she take lessons from Rosanne?

[leoskiss]

So sad….there are sooo many talented unknown singers that would have nailed it! This poor girl isn’t a “singer” so why is she singing one of the most difficult songs to perform? They set her up to fail

[stephaniemotta]

She was completely hammered.... Said she's going to rehab for her drinking problem. Anyone in charge, should have dragged her far, far, FAR away from that field immediately when they saw the condition she was in.... Before she had the chance to make a mockery of herself AND the song.... Disgraceful.

Why did MLB invite her to sing? What a disgrace

[GVSolo]

What did the national anthem ever did to this "singer" to deserve that?

[djb]

Proof studio trickery can make anyone a singer. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nominated for 4 grammy`s ? Yeah they mean nothing anymore!! Roseanne Barr and Fergie just lost their titles as worst to ever do it. Like Jimmy Carter lost his title of worst president to Biden. 😂😂

[homerjs]

Carl Lewis said, “guess I can really sing”

[owenthomas]

With talent like that, I have 3 words for her...Adult Video Industry

[jerrywtf]

Bet she made her parents proud with that cackling . No respect !

[ray_ray_]

Very sad. I hope she makes a strong recovery.

at 0:04, you can HEAR the Crowd is saying Either NO! or STOP!

[antonyperring]

OK, she messed up. But has apologised, and checked in to get herself sorted. Wish her well.

[uptendo]

I can’t believe the video of her singing that got 3M views got taken down for violating something bro 💀

she needs autotune. Most modern singers sound like this with out the pitch correction software autotune. Ever been at a concert (if the artist isn't lip syncing) when the auto tune went out and the singer is revealed to be a shrieking banshee ? Ask Madonna

[alexanderhubner]

Frank Drebin could not have sung it better! 😀

[craig_m_mi]

Proof that anyone that is a hack, can be a hack, and be treated like they are something they are clearly not.

[munalulalukonga]

She sang it how she hears it, has no clue of the lyrics 😅

[davidmanzi]

Well, that's one way to go viral.

[bittercomments.]

I swear this should be a crime. Lock her up, throw away the key.😂
