Itâs been hard to get through this Presidentâs Day without thinking about Fergieâs cringeworthy NBA All-Star Game performance of the national anthem Sunday night. If you haven't heard it, consider yourself lucky. But if you wanna hear it anyway, listen below.Â
People on the internet roasted Fergie during the performance, while NBA All-Stars on the court and celebrities in the stands tried not to laugh, but now Fergie Ferg is weighing in on the performance.
"I've always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA,â Fergie told TMZ. âI'm a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn't strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best."
Damn. Sometimes trying your best really isnât good enough. Her swerve from Mariah Careyâs usual âfuck the hatersâ response is admirable though, and sheâs taking the failure like an all-star herself because remember, big girls donât cry.
Sure our ears suffered for two minutes, but on the bright side we got some fantastic tweets and memes out of the performance. Plus, itâs definitely a âStar-Spangled Bannerâ rendition that none of us, especially Draymond Green, will ever forget.Â
And there's this.Â
