Ingrid Andress' attention-grabbing performance of the national anthem has sparked a social media dialogue -- but perhaps not for the reason she may have hoped. The 32-year-old country star has gone viral following Monday's Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field, where she performed a stripped-down rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner."
Another joked, "Fergie seeing Ingrid Andress dethrone her for worst National Anthem performance." Multiple others cracked, "Fergie watching Ingrid Andress claim her crown for worst anthem of all time." Comparisons were also drawn to Maya Rudolph's 2006 Saturday Night Live sketch in which she plays a contest winner who butchers the song.
Support from Fellow Musicians
Despite the backlash, Andress received support from fellow country stars Brothers Osborne. They took to social media to provide some context for what may have happened behind the scenes. "I know everyone is here for laughs but as someone who has seen her sing many times live, she is incredibly talented," reads a comment from the Brothers Osborne's official Instagram account. "Not sure what happened here but I'd bet the farm there were huge technical problems with her monitors."
Other musicians and industry professionals also weighed in with their theories. Danny Rose Murillo from the band Hollywood Undead commented, "ACTUALLY SHE'S A GOOD SINGER. They used Autotune set to the WRONG musical SCALE, and it is pushing all right notes to the wrong notes." Similarly, audio engineer Sean Glass speculated, "As an Audio Engineer, it sounds like they placed Autotune in the signal chain before it hit the speakers and set to the wrong Key. There's a chance they wanted to safeguard her from going out of key and they prob sent it wrong."
Ingrid Andress' Response
Amid the controversy, Andress announced the upcoming release of her next single. "Greetings to everyone that has a pulse. I truly love you all so much. I've been absent for a minute, but I’m so stoked to announce that my new single 'Colorado 9' comes out on July 24th," she shared on Instagram. She also announced two special shows to celebrate the release, one in Nashville on July 17th, and one in Denver on July 24th.
Conclusion
While Ingrid Andress faced significant criticism for her national anthem performance, the support from her peers highlights the complexities of live performances and technical difficulties. Despite the mixed reactions, Andress remains a prominent figure in country music, with fans eagerly awaiting her upcoming single and live shows.
