The American singer and Grammy winner Fergie, who recently opened the NBA All-Star match with an unsuccessful performance of the US anthem, decided to comment on the embarrassment.
"I always played the national anthem with great respect, but for the NBA I decided to do something special. I took a chance and performed an unconventional version and now I admit that I chose the wrong tone.
I love this country and honestly tried to do it better, "the singer commented on the performance of the TMZ portal.
It is worth noting that Fergie sang the hymn rather slowly and with aspirations, giving it a bluesy sound. But the reaction to such creativity was stormy and in most negative. The singer was literally hit by a flurry of criticism.
Recall that the NBA match in Los Angeles also visited Beyonce and her daughter, who chained the attention of all spectators.
