BREAKING NEWS MLB fans all say the same thing about national anthem at Home Run Derby one year after 'drunk' performance
The 50-year-old sung a slowed down rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner ahead of the baseball festivities.
However, despite the occasional fan complaining that the somber version sounded like a funeral dirge, most admitted it was instantly an improvement from last year's performance.
Country music artist Ingrid Andress faced fierce criticism for her rendition ahead of the 2024 edition of the competition. Social media users slammed it as 'the worst national anthem ever,' after she attempted to sing Francis Scott Key's lyrics in a shrill and off-key rendition.
The songstress later confessed to being drunk while wailing into the microphone and announced that she would be checking into rehab following the disaster.
And baseball fans celebrated Headley's sober - yet somber - performance on Monday night.
'Probably the best year-over-year improvement on the HR Derby National Anthem you'll ever witness #NeverForget,' one user posted to X alongside a photo of Andress on the field last year.

And after flying across the Atlantic to reunite with JoJo, 22, Chris, 32, couldn't hide his love for her, as they held hands after heading to the The NOW Massage parlour together. The loved-up pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, with Chris gushing that he's 'in love' with JoJo, before calling her his 'princess.' He said: 'I am really in love with this one.' Grilled on his recent admission that he's already thought about marrying JoJo, Chris added: 'One day, I am a proper family man so one day! Yeah 100% that's the fairytale right? She is my princess, she is a good one.' JoJo also reflected on the recent release of her cover of Kim Carnes' 1981 hit Bette Davis Eyes, with fans sending the track to number two in the UK iTunes chart. She said: 'I've been scared of doing covers for about six years, and it's my first one in a long time. 'I think that song did fit my voice fairly well the way the original singer sang it, and if one falls in my lap the way that one did I would do it again! But covers are scary.' Ever the supportive partner, Chris added: 'Keep streaming it, that's what I say, it was a beautiful cover.' Following her decision to postpone her US tour, JoJo also hinted that there would be an update for fans coming later this week, having previously hinted that she was planning a series of shows in Europe. After finally confirming his relationship with JoJo in June, Chris broke his silence on the unexpected romance over the weekend, as he admitted he is 'obsessed' with her.

But it doesn't bother me – as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine.' He revealed even he was surprised by the turn of events, and after a string of public relationships, he began to wonder whether there was anyone out there for him. He explained: 'Then meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person... I'm obsessed with her. I'd do anything for her.'

Discussing the prospect of marriage after confessing they both say 'I love you' every day, he hinted: 'I do see a forever here... I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day.' He also revealed they both want children and he has received the seal of approval from her family after joining them on their Orlando holiday in May.

After JoJo shared the 'two truths and a lie' video, social media users jumped to the comments to choose which option was the lie, while others applauded JoJo for nonchalantly poking fun at the pregnancy speculation. A fan typed, 'Everyone's saying it's 1 or 3, meaning everyone thinks she's pregnant,' and another added, 'You Gonna be a Dance mom.' 'Not you addressing the pregnancy rumors in the most hilarious fashion,' one shared, and another penned, 'Joelle not u egging on the pregnant rumors. Youre too funny.'

Nicola Peltz sends pulses racing in a skimpy bralette for steamy social media post - after revealing latest career move amid her and Brooklyn Beckham's feud with his family
sent pulses racing as she flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a steamy social media post on Tuesday. The heiress and wife of Brooklyn Beckham, 30, took to her Instagram Stories as she posed on a bed in skimpy black sequinned bralette. Nicola showcased her eye-popping abs in the clip while leaving not much to the imagination and gazing seductivly into the camera. The stunner wore glam make-up while her long brunette tresses cascaded onto the pillow beside her. It comes after Nicola's latest career move has been revealed amid her husband Brooklyn 's ongoing feud with his family. She is throwing herself into her work and has joined the cast of a brand new thriller, with Nicola confirming her involvement in an Instagram post. The heiress and wife of Brooklyn Beckham took to her Instagram Stories as she posed on a bed in skimpy black sequinned bralette She will take on a starring role in Pretty Ugly, which has been created by Ted Lasso screenwriter Erica Dunton, according to Deadline. Nicola will star alongside Jazzy De Lisser and Mary Stuart Masterson in the drama, which will delve into the appeal of social media beauty. Set in Winnabow, North Carolina, Pretty Ugly follows a woman called Raelynn (Jazzy) as she becomes obsessed with the seductive world of social media. Her mother (Mary) also has her own fixation on grisly true crime podcasts and their relationship begins to unravel when a make-up influencer (Nicola) enters their lives. Things then take a sinister turn as a 'character-driven murder mystery' unfolds, which shows how 'the internet is changing the face' of America, writer Erica claimed. Also starring in the new project are the likes of Michelle Gomez, Andy Buckley, Cullen Moss, Paul Schneider, Edgar de Santiago and Angela Wong Carbon. Nicola's return to the screen comes after she made her directorial debut Lola last year, which was met by a mixed reception from critics and viewers alike. The heiress wrote, directed and starred in the film, which premiered on February 9, 2024, with a limited theatrical and digital release. She played the title character, a teenage girl who works to save up enough money to get her and her younger brother out of the toxic home they share with their mother. She faces a series of traumatic cliches, such as drug abuse, poverty, sex work and teenage pregnancy, but critics blasted the film. They argued it was 'a glorified commercial' for Nicola, and accused the movie of being 'poverty porn', meaning the exploitation of poverty for entertainment and artistic recognition. Nicola has also starred in other projects including Emma Roberts' 2020 festive flick Holidate, Welcome to Chippendales and Bates Motel. Nicola's latest career move comes amid her husband Brooklyn's ongoing feud with his parents and brothers over his relationship with her. Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 22, in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola are still following his parents Victoria, 51, and David, 50. Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this week but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it - which Nicola reposted. There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday on Thursday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month. Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park. David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him. The news that Cruz and Romeo had blocked their older brother followed Cruz's many pointed digs towards Brooklyn on social media last month. Amid the escalating feud, Romeo stepped in as he shared a very pointed statement about 'appreciating people that love you' and insisted 'life was too short' to not tell people you care about them. Brooklyn and Romeo have been living a somewhat fractious relationship over the last few months following claims Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull was the reason behind their rift. Kim addressed the speculation June 16 and insisted she has only ever had a friendship with the eldest Beckham son. Sharing a statement on her Instagram page, she said: 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. 'I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.' Kim had been at the centre of the row after Nicola claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers - which she then denied. Last month, Romeo and Kim then split after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance 'fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday. Following their split, friends said things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart.
