With more than twenty-one million monthly listeners on Spotify, you\u2019d think that 23-year-old pop star Conan Gray would be able to deliver a pleasing rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. Unfortunately, Gray\u2019s rendition is now being hailed as perhaps the worst singing of the national anthem ever attempted, as his version of the song was \u201cimpossibly bad,\u201d according to baseball fans who were subjected to his singing style at a recent Home Run Derby in Los Angeles on Monday.<\/p>\n

The young pop singer is coming under attack for delivering \u201cthe worst national anthem rendition\u201d in American history. He was singing the song to begin the Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. After he sang his version of the national anthem, dozens of Twitter and Instagram users turned to social media to ridicule the singer and bash him for doing a very bad job in front of so many people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One Twitter user joked that \u201ca Congressional Committee that looks into who chose the singer for the National Anthem at the Home Run Derby,\u201d as another person contributed the following tweet to the conversation about Conan Gray: \u201cThere are so many great singers in this country, it\u2019s nearly impossible to have that bad of a national anthem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who TF Conan Gray is, but that was top 5 worst national anthem renditions I\u2019ve ever heard,\u201d one person tweeted after seeing Gray\u2019s performance at the Home Run Derby on Monday in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A fourth person tweeted, \u201c1.) Who is Conan Gray? 2.) He may very well be the worst national anthem singer of all time. Good lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gray comes from Texas, where he managed to find fame after uploading videos of himself to YouTube. He has since amassed a large following on Spotify with millions of monthly listeners who love what he does. His second album, Superache, was released this past June and was praised by critics and fans alike. His album made the top ten charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

However, Gray\u2019s rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner will go down in history as one of the poorest performances of the American national anthem in American history. Some people went so far as to claim that his singing was worse than Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame, who sang the anthem at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBro, I think Conan Gray is tone deaf. That national anthem was as bad as Fergie\u2019s,\u201d tweeted another person.<\/p>\n

Despite the criticism, Gray\u2019s fans defended him online.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s actually a great performer\/singer,\u201d one fan wrote on YouTube. \u201c[I don\u2019t know] what happened here, but seeing people bash him sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added, \u201cGo listen to his album or literally any other live performance before you try to tell me this man can\u2019t sing.\u201d<\/p>\n
