One of the most talked about moments in Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game had nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with Fergie's performance while singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." Twitter showed Fergie no mercy after her rendition of the national anthem Sunday night, and the tweets keep coming.
The "M.I.L.F $" singer took the stage and performed a slower – perhaps sultry – version of the national anthem and many viewers were not impressed. One Twitter account, Son of Baldwin, wrote that the performance was embarrassing:
"I'm one of those people who will turn the channel, turn off the TV, or leave the room to avoid witnessing people embarrassing themselves. So 1.79 seconds is about as far as I'll ever get with that video of Fergie singing the Star-Spangled Banner. Sorry."

Sorry.

Let's be real, #Fergie gave the U.S. the anthem it deserves right now.

it has been HOURS since Fergie sang the national anthem at the NBA all star game and the president has STILL refused to acknowledge and respond as the leader we need as a nation in this time of strife
