Final yr, nation musician Ingrid Andress appeared on the 2024 Residence Run Derby and delivered one of many all-time worst performances of the Nationwide Anthem in tv historical past. Seven months later, the nation singer acquired an opportunity to redeem herself at a Colorado Avalanche hockey recreation on Friday night time.
This time, as a substitute of constructing athletes and followers chortle with pitchy moments and drunkenly-embellished vocal runs, Andress delivered an exceedingly regular rendition of the tune, holding all of the notes for an acceptable size, letting her vibrato ring on the excessive notes, and even having the viewers be part of her for a short, patriotic sing-along.
The redemptive second occurred at an Avalanche hockey recreation in Andress’ native state, and was captured in a video the singer posted to social media, with the caption “We’re again child.” Watch the brand new efficiency beneath.
After her blunder with the anthem final yr, Andress stepped away from the limelight for a bit, reporting that she was “drunk” through the efficiency and that she checked herself into rehab the subsequent day. On the time, she had been selling a then-upcoming single, “Colorado 9,” however to this point, the tune nonetheless hasn’t been launched.
For now, although, Andress can hopefully relaxation a bit simpler realizing that she’s confirmed her potential to sing Francis Scott Key’s phrases with the suitable pageantry. As Fergie can absolutely attest, it’s exhausting to shake a nasty anthem efficiency — however perhaps Andress’ profitable do-over and Fergie’s current look in a brand new music video are indicators that there actually is hope for all times after bombing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
