Seems people weren't feeling Fergie's patriotic spirit at this year's NBA All-Star-Game.
The 42-year-old songstress was heavily mocked for her rendition of the National Anthem at Sunday's game at Los Angeles' Staples Center.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and others in the stadium could be seen snickering while Fergie put her spin on the song and even athletes were seen getting in a few laughs.

To make matters worse, Beyonce was also in attendance at the stadium. She had been criticized for singing over a pre-recorded version of the National Anthem at Barack Obama's second inauguration only to wow journalist when she sang it at the Super Bowl press conference in 2013.
"The worst rendition ever" was quickly labeled on Twitter by those who could not believe that the Fergalicious songbird chose to sing the "Star-Spangled Banner" in such a way.
"Fox News reminds its audience that the murder of our beloved National Anthem by #Fergie happened under the FBI's watch," said Marie Connor.

Chynna Jeremiah shared a gif of a character from bob's burger and said: "#Fergie sounded like the lady who sings oil spill from bobs burgers."
One user noticed: "Not only is Steph Curry on twitter during the #NBAAllStar game, but he's liking tweets about how bad Fergie was (crying face emojis)."

"The American national anthem was based off a 1770s drinking song," said actor Robert Wuhl.
"I'm assuming @Fergie was taking it back to its drunken roots with her performance at tonight's #NBAAllStar game."
Author Daniel Jose-Older shared a gif of someone jingling a set of keys and added: "pick one fergie #NBAAllStar."
Bob Saget joked: "Fergie's rendition of the National Anthem was originally written by Francis Scott Out of Key."
"Bruhhhh #fergie #NBAAllStar," stated a different user who posted that Fergie singing made Colin Kaepernick stand.
Britni Danielle added a gif of President Donald Trump and chimed: Let's be real, #Fergie gave the U.S. the anthem it deserves right now. I mean you see who the president is, right?'
"My laptop froze at this exact moment #NBAAllStar2018 #Fergie," shared another user.
"Who saw Fergie's national anthem performance at the NBA All Star Game? I think mine was better lowkey," said Roseanne Barr who in 1990 gave her own questionable version.

It was an eventful NBA All-Star Game that saw many not too thrilled with comedian Kevin Hart's strange opener that ran longer than 15 minutes.
He even cracked awkward one-liners after almost every player's introductions. It was the perfect add on, however, to Fergie's performance.
Khloe Kardashian summed it up perfectly when she said: 'This All Star opening is confusing me. WTF is going on? Anyone?'
The "Team Lebron" versus "Team Curry" spectacle seemed to be a hit for a game as it was the first time captains could pick their teams.
Lebron James managed to pull out ahead as the better for this particular squabble, claiming victory with a score of 148-145.
