Four time Grammy nominee Ingrid Andress simply had a bad night for the ages at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby.
Anyone can have a bad night, and it’s safe to say that country music star Ingrid Andress ended up having quite a bad night at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby, where she was tasked with performing the national anthem. “The Star Spangled Banner” is a notoriously difficult song that has humbled lord only knows how many singers in a live setting, but it’s still rare that we get any anthem entry that is able to instantly join the pantheon of legendarily janky live performances of the song.
Unlike some of the other famously bad anthem performances, like Fergie’s rendition at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, this one doesn’t really stand out for being a conceptual overworking of the familiar song. Where Fergie’s version has been recalculated for vocal grandstanding and showboating, Andress simply seems to get off on the wrong foot somehow and then never manages to regain that footing.
It should go without saying that Ingrid Andress obviously is perfectly capable of singing, look no further than songs like her breakthrough single “More Hearts Than Mine” from 2019. She was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2021 Grammy Awards, and was likewise a nominee in 2023 for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, with four Grammy nominations overall. This is a person with undeniable talent.
