5 National Anthem Performances As Bad (Or Worse) Than Fergie’s

Wendy Williams Has A Long History Of Being Beyoncé’s Biggest Hater

Source: Michael Loccisano / Getty Wendy Williams has made a whole career out of being shady, but every once in a while she takes bad mouthing celebrities a step too far—especially where Beyoncé is concerned. Just today, for example, she shared her opinion on Fergie ‘s All-Star Weekend “Star Spangled Banner” fail and somehow ended up shading Bey in the process. It’s starting to feel like Wendy will take any and every opportunity to needlessly come for Yoncé. The question is: why? Maybe ratings? Listed below is just SOME  of what the talk show host has had to say about Bey and her family in recent times. You’ll find that even when Wendy’s stanning for the queen, there’s no shortage of backhanded compliments. 1. 2012: That Time Wendy Mocked The Way Beyoncé Speaks… “I am a Beyoncé fan. I’m gonna be watching this documentary, even if she doesn’t introduce us to new stuff…fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I’ll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyoncé can’t talk, you all. Beyoncé sounds like she has a fifth grade education. She can’t talk. Excuse me? I just said I’m a fan, but we have to call a spade a spade. I mean, honestly. We really do have the closed captioning just for times like that,” she said on The Wendy Williams Show. 2.  2014: These Were Her Hopeful Yet Cynical Comments About The Carters Potentially Divorcing… “They’re reportedly trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing—in other words, a hood divorce,” Wendy commented as her audience erupted with laughter. Later, she adds “I do think, though, that they are vain enough that when the love is over…that they will not divorce because they’re scared of what we’re gonna say.” 3. 2016: Wendy Needlessly Criticized Beyoncé’s Lemonade Timing… “I wish that Beyoncé held off on this whole album, ’til Prince… until this entire weekend blew over,” she said to her audience. She went on to speak about the “Becky With The Good Hair” drama involving Rachel Roy, accusing the Carters of having had Roy on their payroll. 4. Present Day Hateration: Wendy Says Beyoncé Needs Auto-tune “There are only a few people who can sing raw dog and Fergie is not one, she needs autotune,” Wendy commented. “Jen Lopez needs autotune, Janet needs autotune, Beyoncé needs autotune…” she added as her audience gasps in disbelief, as if to ask “She can’t be talking about the same Beyoncé we’re thinking about, right?” See below. Lemme guess, you’re just “keeping it real,” right Wendy?

Stars Sing the National Anthem: Who Really Sucked?

“… and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air…” This is a line from the Star-Spangled Banner. But it can also be paraphrased and applied to a handful of times in which a famous singer attempted to honor his or her country prior to some kind of major event. What we're saying here is that some artists have bombed with their rendition of America's theme song. Some artists have bombed… HARD. Whose version remains the most memorable, for all of the wrong reasons? Whose do you consider to be the best of the best? Listen/watch the following videos and decide for yourself! ( NOTE : We saved the undisputed best for last.) 1. Fergie Fergie attempted a sultry edition of the Star-Spangled Banner at the NBA All-Star Game. As you can see here, it did NOT go over well. 2. Roseanne Barr If Fergie’s performance wasn’t the worst ever, Roseanne’s from 1990 may have. For a very different reason, as you can see above. 3. Pink Pink overcame illness and belted out a rendition of the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Watch the performance and hand out a grade now! 4. Ciara Ciara pretty much showed off her boobs while singing the National Anthem. Should the artist have covered up more? Or should she have worn even less?!? 5. Lady Gaga Lady Gaga blew her national anthem out of the park at Super Bowl 50. Watch the performance now. 6. Marlana VanHoose Who is Marlana VanHoose? Only a blind singer who left us in awe with this rendition. It’s an absolute must-watch. View Slideshow

Fergie Apologizes for Disastrous National Anthem

Forgive the mixed sports metaphor, but Fergie really wishes she could have a mulligan on her NBA All-Star Game national anthem performance. The artist made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Sunday night after she donned a sexy dress and then belted out some kind of sultry rendition of our nation’s theme song. Pretty much every single person who heard this version of the Star-Spangled Banner laid into it. Hard. We mean it, too: Every. Single. Person. Heck, even Roseanne Barr claimed her disrespectful and disastrous performance way back in 1990 was better than whatever Fergie was trying to accomplish. We disagree with that assessment. But the general point remains: This was a baffling and bizarre rendition by Fergie. Take a look and take a listen for yourself if you have not already done so: Fergie National Anthem: The Worst of All-Time? In the wake of universal panning across the Internet, Fergie has taken a step we can’t ever recall an artist taking after he or she performed a less-than stellar anthem: She’s come out and apologized. “I’ve always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA,” she said in a statement first published by TMZ. The statement continued: “I’m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best.” Pretty impressive, right? Many stars over the years have attempted to put their own spin on this legendary song by holding certain notes for a long period of time or emphasizing certain lyrics. Fergie likely thought she would attempt something similar. She just lacks the vocal range to pull anything too unique off with her range, so she went the seductive route instead. It failed miserable, as evidenced by the Tweets below… … but it’s hard not to admire Fergie for admitting it and for taking responsibility for it. And we certainly never thought for a second that Fergie had anything but love for the United States. At various points, the Black Eyed Pea seemed to struggle to hit notes, although she closed out the tune with an impressive vibrato, telling the arena at the very end: “Let’s play some basketball!” Thankfully, the All-Star Game itself was so competitive that some people forgot all about Fergie’s opening fail. Some , that is. But very clearly not most. View Slideshow: Stars Sing the National Anthem: Who Really Sucked?

The Four Recap: And the Winner Is…

It was the end of the line for three of the competitors on The Four during Thursday night’s freshman finale.  Host Fergie and panelists Sean “Diddy” Combs, DJ Khaled and Meghan Trainor were all part of the show’s finale, but Charlie Walk was nowhere in sight in the midst of sexual harassment allegations.  Evvie McKinney, Zhavia, Candice Boyd and Vincint Cannady were the final four vying for a record contract and the title of iHeartRadio’s On the Verge artists.  Simply put, it is one of the better prizes in the world of singing competitions, and one that should give the lucky victor some staying power.  The first round of the finale found each of The Four performing and the audience voting for their favorite. That then allowed the winner of the round to choose who they went up against.  Boyd – “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt Boyd has gone from strength to strength throughout her time in the competition. Her performance was her best one yet.  McKinney – “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner McKinney turned in a phenomenal performance that got everyone talking. The judges, the audience, and even Fergie seemed in awe of her talent.  “That performance was fearless,” Combs said while Trainor added, “That was my favorite performance on this stage throughout the entire season.” Cannady – “Creep” by Radiohead Cannady took a considerable risk performing this number, but he delivered in winning fashion. Everything about it was polished, and it proved the talent on this show is better than the others.  Zhavia – “One Dance” by Drake This was one was quite a shocker. Zhavia has proven time and time again that she’s a force to be reckoned with. However, this was performance was a dud.  Nothing about it had star quality, and the judges seemed to agree.  McKinney was crowned the winner of the first round, and she asked to compere against Zhavia. It made sense because Zhavia was having a terrible night.  Zhavia – “Man Down” by Rihanna Zhavia attempted to right the wrongs of her previous performance with a Rihanna number. It was better than her Drake cover, but still, something seemed off.  McKinney – “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers McKinney continued to dominate the competition with this latest performance. Zhavia should be very worried.  The judges got to pick who they wanted to advance, and they went with McKinney. There would have been a riot if they voted the other way! The next head to head found Cannady being left out in the cold and sent home.  That meant the final two were McKinney and Boyd. The panelists decided to give McKinney the win, and it was well deserved.  What did you think of all the action? Hit the comments below.  The Four continues this summer on Fox.  View Slideshow: American Idol Will Be a Total Failure. This is Why.

Fergie: I Hallucinated Crazy $hit While on Crystal Meth!

In promotion of her first solo album in 11 years, Fergie has opened up in a new interview about her past drug use. And the artist has held absolutely nothing back. “At my lowest point, I was [suffering from] chemically induced psychosis and dementia,” Fergie tells the United Kingdon’s iNews about her use of crystal meth. This was back in the early 2000s, she says. “I was hallucinating on a daily basis. It took a year after getting off that drug for the chemicals in my brain to settle so that I stopped seeing things. “I’d just be sitting there, seeing a random bee or bunny.” Wow. That’s pretty crazy and intense. Fergie also says her weight plummeted to around 90 pounds during this time. The artist’s hallucinations became so serious, Fergie says candidly, that she believed the CIA, FBI and a SWAT team were following her around. She eventually sought solace in a church, the only place she felt safe and protected. But then she had a breakthrough that probably saved her life. “I remember thinking: ‘If I walk outside, and the SWAT team’s out there, I was right all along. “But if they’re not out there, then it’s the drugs making me see things and I’m going to end up in an institution. “And if it really is the drugs, I don’t want to live my life like this any more, anyway.’ “I walked out of the church; obviously there was no SWAT team, it was just me in a parking lot. It was a freeing moment.” Fergie admits the drugs were “a hell of a lot of fun” for a period. Until, of course, they weren’t. “It’s so incredible, I know. I think I must have guardian angels,” the singer says of simply being alive. Prior to this honest spilling of very personal details, Fergie made news in September for her separation from Josh Duhamel . The stars had been married for eight years when they made this announcement and they share a four-year old son, Axl. Early on in this interview, Fergie says she’s proud of Duhamel for directing a new movie and says the pair tries to FaceTime with their child as often as possible when on the road. They are clearly on solid terms. Says the singer of her estranged husband and their priorities: “I’ve just released my first solo album in 11 years, and I’m out promoting it. So there’s a lot going on. “That’s why we wanted to find our footing with our separation before we announced it publicly: to make sure we really got it together for our kid. “It’s a constant juggling act.” Considering where she’s been in the past, though, it’s something we have no doubt Fergie can figure out and make work. Just take a look at how far she’s come.

Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson Butt Shot of the Day

Fergie took a break from the meth to put out another album because girl’s drug addiction of choice is making money, being famous, having fans, even though she’s old as fuck and should just fucking simmer down and ride the money she made into her premature death thanks to the damage done from her meth addiction… Instead, we need to see girl humiliate herself, embarrass herself, do shitty song and dance that she’ll pollute our ears / rape our ears with, when really the only rape we’re into when it comes to Fergie, is our faces with that old lady, still fit, recently single, still a mom ass… I don’t know what this is all about but it is ridiculous…and no longer 1999 so fuck off.
