Mariah Carey defends Fergie's national anthem performance
- 6 years ago
Singer Mariah Carey has urged Fergie to ignore the criticism she has received after singing the US national anthem at the NBA All-Star game this weekend.
Fergie sang the 'Star-Spangled Banner' at Los Angeles' Staples Center over the weekend ahead of the annual exhibition basketball match, and was slammed for the rendition by celebrities and viewers.
But fellow singer Mariah - who had her fair share of criticism after her New Year's Eve performance in 2016 was plagued by technical difficulties - has offered words of wisdom to the former Black Eyed Peas singer.
When asked if she had any advice for Fergie, the ‘We Belong Together’ hit maker simply said no one needs to listen to listen to criticism.
Mariah's comments come after several people branded Fergie’s performance as "the worst ever".
