The honour of singing the national anthem before the 2018 All-Star game was given to former Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and it's fair to say she put an interesting twist on it.The Los Angeles native decided to change things up a bit and chose to do a slow, sexy and jazzy rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner".As you'd expect, there were many reactions to her performance of the American anthem and most of them weren't kind.Fergie was roundly mocked on social media for her different take as it clearly didn't go down well.It wasn't particularly well-received inside the Staples Center either as not everybody was cheering at the conclusion of it.A packed and star-studded crowd reacted with a mixture of bemusement and enthusiasm.Her delivery was not typical for a sporting event or a patriotic song which made it even more strange.

It was also clear that the players on the court were a little surprised by the Grammy Award-winning singer's version of the anthem.

Some players couldn't help but let out wry smiles but one man who couldn't contain himself was Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green.

The camera panned to the power forward and he was seen open-mouthed and looking slightly confused at what he was hearing.

After realising he was on the big screen in the arena, Green eventually burst out laughing and this became an instant GIF.

He summed up the mood perfectly and it'll definitely go down as one of the most bizarre moments in All-Star history.

On the live television broadcast on TNT, Hall of Famer Charles Barkley hilariously joked that he needed a cigarette after watching Fergie's performance.

She was immediately trending on Twitter and here are some of the best reactions:

The singer's one saving grace is that Marvin Gaye put his own spin on the anthem when he sang it in the 1983 game and he was initially criticised but has since gained huge praise and it has been accepted as a memorable musical performance.

However, I wouldn't expect Fergie to get the same treatment years down the line.

Her delivery was odd but her vocals were perfect, which is one positive that came out of it.

But for the time being, she will have to accept the ridicule after taking a big risk that didn't go down so well.
