Country singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress faced criticism after a questionable rendition of the national anthem at the 2024 Home Run Derby. Admitting she was drunk during the performance, Andress apologized and announced plans to check into rehab. Despite the backlash, her upcoming single and performance schedule remain unchanged. While her rendition may not have hit the mark, comparisons to infamous national anthem performances by Roseanne Barr and Fergie suggest she may not be the worst. The difficulty of the song and her unique vocal style, described as "cursive singing," may have contributed to the polarizing performance. With support from fans and industry figures, Andress has the potential to bounce back from this misstep, with some even predicting a headlining slot at WeHo Pride in the future.
