UPDATE: Well now we have some more details about the performance and WHY it was so bad. Ingrid posted to her Instagram account saying, “I’m not gonna [expletive] y’all. I was drunk last night. I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let ya’ll know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun.”
ORIGINAL STORY:
Over the years we’ve had some amazing performances of the national anthem and some really bad ones.... this one goes on the bad list. It might even be at the top of that bad list.
Country singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress sang the national anthem before the MLB Home Run Derby in Arlington, Texas Monday night and boy was it rough.
I hate to be overly critical of anyone but this was tough to watch/listen to. I feel bad for her actually, were there technical issues and she couldn’t hear herself? Was it just a bad night?.... cause she’s going to be remembered after that, but not for a good reason.
