David, in fact, isn’t the primary celeb to offer a reviled anthem efficiency. Fergie’s 2018 NBA All Star Weekend rendition had basketball players giggling. Christina Aguilera mixed up the words to the song at Tremendous Bowl XLV in 2011. Michael Bolton needed to check notes on his palm to recollect the lyrics at a 2003 MLB sport. After which there’s Roseanne Barr’s very off-pitch performance at a 1990 baseball sport.
Extra lately, nation singer Ingrid Andress botched the anthem on the 2024 T-Cell House Run Derby, later revealing on social media that she was drunk on the time and that she can be looking for therapy.
