Off-Key and Out of Favor: Ingrid Andress' National Anthem Rendition Steals the Show (for the Wrong Reasons) at 2024 Home Run Derby.

The 2024 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby was supposed to be a night of epic bat flips and towering dingers. However, country singer Ingrid Andress ensured her performance would be the most talked-about moment of the evening, though not for the reasons she might have hoped.

A Night for Big Hits Gone Wrong

On July 15th, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Grammy-nominated singer Ingrid Andress took center field, not to launch a homerun, but to deliver a rendition of the National Anthem before the start of the highly anticipated event. Unfortunately, what transpired left fans bewildered and social media ablaze.

A Rocky Start for the Star-Spangled Banner

The 32-year-old Michigan native, known for hits like "More Hearts Than Mine" and "Lady Like," opted for an a cappella performance. However, as Andress began belting out the opening lines, it became clear something wasn't quite right. Her normally smooth vocals seemed strained, wavering off-key, particularly during the song's higher notes.

Social Media Erupts: Memes and Mockery

The internet, never one to shy away from voicing its opinions, erupted with criticism. A video of the performance quickly went viral on the newly renamed X platform (formerly Twitter), with fans expressing their disapproval in no uncertain terms.

  • "Who actually pays for her music and to go see her??" questioned one scathing critic.
  • Another viewer took a jab at the reliance on studio production, stating, "This is what a Grammy nominee made by Auto-Tune sounds like without Auto-Tune or musical accompaniment."
  • Jokesters filled the platform with comments like "My ears are bleeding" and "It sounds like she didn't know the lyrics."
  • More serious critiques emerged, with some calling it "The worst National Anthem I've ever heard" and questioning the selection process for such a prestigious performance, stating, "They just be nominating anyone for Grammys huh?"
