Singer Ingrid Andress faced heavy criticism for her rendition of the national anthem at the MLB Home Run Derby Monday night. The 32-year-old, known for her Billboard Hot 100 hits, struggled with pitch, especially on high notes, during "The Star-Spangled Banner." Participant Alec Bohm was seen smirking, reminiscent of a similar reaction to Fergie's anthem at the NBA All-Star Game in 2018. Social media users were quick to express disdain, calling it one of the worst performances ever. Sports Illustrated writer Alex Carr labeled it as one of the worst he's ever heard. Andress, a successful country music artist with hits like "More Hearts Than Mine," faced backlash for her anthem performance. Despite her musical success, this event has left a stain on her reputation. Stay updated with Fox News Digital's sports coverage for more.
