The 42-year-old singer could not escape the criticism for her jazzy, slowed-down rendition of the song.
Oh, Fergie.
The 42-year-old singer could not escape the criticism for her jazzy, slowed-down performance of the National Anthem at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night. Fergie's rendition was one of the most controversial since Roseanne Barr's infamous 1990 performance, and now the comedienne is calling her out.
"Who saw Fergie's national anthem performance at the NBA All Star Game? I think mine was better lowkey," Barr tweeted on Sunday night -- and she wasn't the only celeb to comment on the less-than-Fergalicious performance.
"Fergie’s rendition of the National Anthem was originally written by Francis Scott Out of Key," Bob Saget wrote, while Khloe Kardashian said, "This All Star opening is confusing me. WTF is going on? Anyone?"
Fergie, who took the court in a tight, black dress, didn't seem too upset by the performance. "Let's play some basketball!" she gleefully cheered after concluding the song, later posting pics from the All-Star Game to her Instagram.
