Ooooof. I'm guessing whoever Conan Gray is, his "multi-platinum" career has had a LOT of help from Autotune…#HomeRunDerby

Conan Gray? No offense but this is The midsummer classic!! No one else in LA was available? #HomeRunDerby

Bro I think Conan Gray is tone deaf. That National anthem was as bad as fergie’s. #HomeRunDerby

— Jake Riegel (@17Riegel) July 19, 2022

Congrats to Conan Gray for the worst national anthem performance since Fergie.

Gray is not the only celebrity that has received criticism over their performance of the song.

In 2018, Fergie sang the national anthem during the NBA’s All-Star Game.

In case you missed it:

The way Fergie sang the song sparked backlash.

She later broke her silence on the performance, saying, “I’ve always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA. I’m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best.”

NBA star Steph Curry later posted a video to his Instagram of players dancing to a remix of her performance.
