Was Fergie's National Anthem Performance Really That Awful?
by EG
Fergie might have gotten a little too creative with her version of the national anthem at The NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night. She seemed to be shooting for jazzy and sultry, but instead, she triggered accusations of weird and inappropriate. The former member of Black-Eyed Peas was also part of one of the least-liked Spuer Bowl halftime shows of all time, so she's not doing a great job of building her resume of sports-event performances.

Fergie‘s jazz-inspired rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 18, had several people scratching their heads.
This All Star opening is confusing me. WTF is going on? Anyone?

The former Black-Eyed Peas singer, 42, appeared to be trying to turn the national anthem into a torch song with a sultry performance that had some in the audience, including Jimmy Kimmel and Chance the Rapper, looking a little bemused.

“This All Star opening is confusing me,” Khloé Kardashian tweeted. “WTF is going on? Anyone?”
After Fergie finished, a chuckling NBA commentator Charles Barkley asked his fellow panelists if they could talk about what they’d just seen. “Oh, stop, don’t do that. Leave my Fergie alone,” Shaquille O’Neal responded. “Fergie, I love you. It was different, it was sexy.”
