Fergie did the National Anthem in a Special Way and People Are Confused

Singing the National Anthem before a big event can be a thankless job, especially if you don’t do that great a job of it. Well, that’s something Fergie found out the hard way, after she performed the anthem ahead of last night’s NBA All-Star game.
She seemed to have a hard time hitting the song’s high notes, and sang it as if it was a sexy tune and as you can imagine, folks on social media couldn’t help but share their thoughts on the performance. Some people downright hated it. I agree with others who were comparing it to Marilyn Monroe singing “Happy Birthday” to JFK.
I guess I am in the minority, but I didn't think it was completely horrendous. Okay so maybe she shouldn't have "sexed it up" so much. She actually CAN sing! Maybe she was just trying to stand out. (Well I guess she did, but you know what I mean). :) Anyway, Roseanne Barr's performance gets the distinction of being the absolute worst, in my book.
See below and see what you think.

I’ve seen the national anthem performed hundreds of times but never in the key of “Happy Birthday Mr. President” congrats @Fergie 🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥
