Watch: Ashanti Performs US National Anthem at NBA Game!

Ashanti put her chops to work at the recent New York Knicks VS Golden State Warriors game!

The 38 year old singer took the NBA stage to belt-out the Star Spangled Banner, tackling the difficult composition without a backtrack – perhaps to make it easier for her to modulate it within her comfort range.

Considering the anthem has managed to yield some of the career-worst performances of “some singers”, due to it’s extremely hard arrangement (most recent of which would be Fergie’s viral take at NBA all star) – it is no less than a challenge to take it up, if you don’t quite have a big-enough voice for it.

Ashanti, who’s previously attempted to showcase her vocals, by covering songs by the likes of Whitney Houston (who also happens to have the greatest version of the anthem) – trusted upon her voice to deliver the a capella performance.



So did she manage to sail through it, without having a ‘Fergie’ moment of her own?

Watch it for yourself:

So…. what do you think?
