Who is Conan Gray? Singer SLAMMED for delivering 'worst national anthem performance ever'
Internet star Conan Gray kicked off Monday's Home Run Derby on Monday, July 18, by singing the American national anthem, leaving fans unimpressed. The singer started his career on YouTube and his first album went gold in 2020. When he sang his rendition of the national anthem to mark the beginning of the event, unimpressed fans did not hold back on their comments on social media. The 23-year-old singer's performance was called the "worst ever" at the Major League game at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles.
The singer’s rendition was also likened to Fergie’s performance at the 2018 All-Star Game and actress Roseanne Barr's flop effort at a 1990 San Diego Padres baseball game.

Some viewers called Gray "tone deaf", while others said that there was "no worse national anthem" than the one they had just heard. This was a thought that was echoed by a number of Home Run Derby viewers.
