Twitter's just never going to be a very nice place, is it? Jordin Sparks recently got clowned on social media for her performance of the national anthem at the Big 12 Championship game. Moreover, many people compared it to Fergie's infamous national anthem performance during an NBA All-Star Game. However, many also said that Sparks' rendition wasn't that bad, as Fergie's spread like legitimate wildfire online. Still, whether you have an opinion on that, it's always a bit sad to see so much hate thrown on social media sites for performances like these.
Still, people are entitled to their take, and it probably says something significant if a lot of people did not like your performance. With all that said, it's not like Sparks is constantly in the public limelight, so hopefully she's not getting an absurd amount of haters down her throat. In fact, her most recent big story before this performance was that Chris Brown's abuse of Rihanna caused their collab "No Air" to get snubbed at the Grammys. Given how Brown's career's progressed since then, maybe it was best for Sparks to get a little distance.
Jordin Sparks Clowned For National Anthem
"Honestly, I think that shouldn’t even be a conversation anymore,” she remarked, defending his history of violence. “It’s about his talent, and they just shouldn’t have canceled the performance. That’s how I feel about it. People deserve to be able to grow and learn. Be able to live their life without things hanging over them. Everybody deserves that." While her comments obviously didn't land with people in the most positive way, she does make a point about growth. It's all about how people move forward from those things, or how they stick by old ways.
Regardless of all that, people still laughed off her rendition of the national anthem. While the singer keeps dropping music on a relatively low-key level, perhaps people remember this instance a little more. Hopefully, the 33-year-old's fans remind the haters of some of her classics.
