Last night, former Black Eyed Peas member Fergie sang the national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Things took an unexpected turn as Fergie attempted to rework the “The Star-Spangled Banner” into some sort of strange, jazzy art piece, but it’s hard to say just what her intentions were with it.

Watch it all happen in a video of the bizarre performance below.
