Ingrid Andress’ rendition of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ raised eyebrows at the MLB Home Run Derby on Monday, July 15
Teoscar Hernández won the 2024 Home Run Derby, but Ingrid Andress was the star of the show thanks to her memorable rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the top of the evening.
“Wow! @IngridAndress actually did it, she united America #HRDerby,” tweeted one viewer, sharing a screenshot of multiple critical posts about the performance. Awful Announcing, meanwhile, weighed in with this recap: “The national anthem ahead of the 2024 Home Run Derby on ESPN by four-time Grammy-nominated artist Ingrid Andress was interesting, to say the least…”
Amid the widespread ribbing, a few audience members came to Andress’ defense, noting that “The Star-Spangled Banner” is a difficult song to perform. “The Star Spangled Banner is NOT a good national anthem,” read one post shared via X. “It's hard to sing. It's about war. And no one's EVER gonna do it better than Whitney or Jimi . Let's retire it.”Comedian Matt Rogers, however, saw a silver lining in the whole affair.
