Fergie is no stranger to the talented world of musicians, but her performance of the National Anthem at this years NBA All-Star game screamed one word: disaster. The musician decided to sing the traditional National Anthem in a sexy, jazzy way that made her sound off-key and cringey. She apologized to the public saying, “I’ve always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA. I’m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best.”
The funniest part of her performance was watching the audiences’ reaction to her. Professional basketball players, along with celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel, couldn’t hold their amusement back. WJ students had similar responses.
“Her performance was odd sounding, definitely her worst performance,” junior John Leonardo said.
Freshman Callie Metzman agreed.
“It was so bad I couldn’t stop laughing,” Metzman said.
WJ staff also chimed in.
“LOL,” AP psych teacher Melanie Schwed said.
