Worst National Anthem of ALL TIME

[IASTATE07]

Towards the end Fergie has a look on her face like, "I am really nailing this!".

 

[YeahBuddy]

I don't need to watch to know it's not worse than Roseanne.

Or Carl Lewis.

A person responsible for such hallowed songs as "My Humps" and "Let's Get ********" produced a cringeworthy rendition of the anthem? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tells ya.

Seriously though, it's Fergie. If she didn't wet herself, you have to call it a win.

It’s also the NBA. You don’t truly understand it until you’re high as balls.

"The anthem was so bad Kaepernick stood up and told her to stop with the disrespect"

That was a rather rough/unique version of the national anthem.

I refuse to watch/listen to it. Hearing how bad it was is enough for me. I can't stand it when singers mess with the anthem. It's hard enough to sing normally; very few can make it their own and pull it off - Whitney Houston and Pink come to mind and a couple of the few.

I am so confused by the entire lineup of music last night. I mean, I love N.E.R.D., and enjoy their new album, that I understood. But Luda hasn't been super-relevant since, what, 2007? And Fergie lost her lovely lady lumps sometime during the mid 00s. That's all before you even take into account the 60-year-old-acting-sexy rendition she did.

Chance the Rapper was laughing his ass off - as was most of the starting lineup.

So, kind of off topic, but that's one reason why I think we should change our national anthem to my country tis of thee. It sounds much better and is easier to sing.

Also, Fergie was actually better than I expected. It was bad, but I didn't see it live, so after reading the comments here I was prepared for something even worse.

Yeah, I'm with you. It's bad, but not worth all the attention it's getting.

Here's my hot take for the day. Let's not sing the national anthem before every single sporting event.

Roseanne did hers as a joke. Georgie was trying. Carl Lewis probably has the worst by someone who was trying. Fergie just won for worst by someone who does it as a professional singer

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Wait, this wasn't Fergie the Duchess of York? Huh.

 

[Acylum]

I kinda liked it.

 

[3TrueFans]

I kinda liked it.

 

[nfrine]

i don't think it will top Roseanne's national anthem at a Padres game in the 90s.

Don't recall Roseanne getting invited to sing again.

 

[Rural]

The by far best solution is to stop playing it.

 

[Prone2Clone]

She was much better in this . . .

Gotta go downtown and get me some tissue.
Fergie used it all up, 'cause she got bowel issues.

I wonder if she was going for something like Marvin Gaye's All-Star game performance:



Marvin stuck to the notes, Fergie tried to improvise, didn't work. Always liked the Nike commercial they did back in 2008:

But it's not like the SSB is hard to sing. I mean, yeah, I couldn't sound good singing it but you can go to your local high school's choir department and find a bunch of kids that sing it beautifully.
