The Worst National Anthem Performances Ever

In July 1990, Roseanne Barr made a mockery of "The Star-Spangled Banner," complete with shrieking, giggling, crotch-grabbing, and even spitting on the pitcher's mound. She would later tell Raw Dog on SiriusXM, "It wasn't a televised baseball game, and it was working woman's night, so I was America's most famous working woman ... I could

In July 1990, Roseanne Barr made a mockery of "The Star-Spangled Banner," complete with shrieking, giggling, crotch-grabbing, and even spitting on the pitcher's mound.

She would later tell Raw Dog on SiriusXM, "It wasn't a televised baseball game, and it was working woman's night, so I was America's most famous working woman ... I could sing well and I had practiced for a long time to sing it. The night before I sang it, I went on Johnny Carson again, and Johnny says, 'Now you be careful not to start too high.' ... So of course I started too high." She continued, "About six notes into it, I was like, 'Can I stop and start over?' but I knew I couldn't, and I knew there was no way I'm gonna make those high notes, so I just thought, 'What the Hell? I'm a comic, I'm gonna make it funny.' ... It was going from being a beloved person to being a despised and hated person overnight."

After all that, one would think that Barr would have some sympathy for other performers of the national anthem. But the comic still dissed Fergie for her 2018 NBA All-Star Game rendition, tweeting, "Who saw Fergie's national anthem performance at the NBA All Star Game? I think mine was better low-key."

We'll let fans decide that for themselves.
