Fergie has something to say about this:
"I've always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA," she said in the statement. "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."
Fair enough, jazzy renditions of our National Anthem need never happen again. In the meantime y'all this is how it's done...
