Singer Ingrid Andress was the target of harsh criticism for her "terrible" interpretation of the Star-Spangled Banner on Monday as part of the inaugural ceremony of the Home Run Derby as part of the All-Star Game celebrations.
How did Ingrid Andress sing the national anthem?
The country music star sang the National Anthem before the best Major League Baseball players began to hit home runs at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, however, her tone-deaf performance had many people wondering if she was the right person for the interpretation.
Ingrid Andress went viral on social media after she sang the U.S. Anthem, as she was off-key in most of the verses, which caused a reaction from the public.
On the first note that the interpreter failed to reach, the audience began to shout as a form of protest, while some Major League Baseball players were surprised by the singing and had to hold back their laughter as the camera was in front of them.
At some point during her performance, Ingrid bent down and tried to continue the interpretation and avoid any more out-of-tune notes, but it seemed like it only got worse. Eventually, she managed to finish the song but could not find her way during the entirety of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Almost immediately, the internet took care of all reactions that were not kind to the country singer, even the Bartlett Illinois police department issued a warning "Please note anyone who doesn't wear their seat belt or speeds thru Bartlett will be forced to listen to 4 x Grammy nominee Ingrid Andress"
