The first error(s) of the 2022 World Series came before its first pitch, courtesy of Eric Burton.

The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter of the Black Pumas opened Game 1 of the Fall Classic on Friday with a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” containing multiple lyrical errors and pitch issues.

Burton was in trouble just a couple notes into the performance at the Houston Astros’ Minute Maid Park, but the misadventures didn’t really start until he reached second stanza. To get a sense of what went wrong, here are the first two stanzas of the national anthem as they are supposed to be sung:

And here’s what Burton ended up singing:

Basically, Burton repeated the second half of the first stanza during the second stanza, but remembered the right word at the end of the line. Here’s the whole thing:

Say what you will about Fergie’s performance of the anthem, at least the Black Eyed Peas singer knew the words of the song.

As you can imagine, social media had plenty of words for Burton’s performance, with nearly none of them kind.

Burton, who performed during President Joe Biden’s inauguration last year, has received Grammy Award nominations for Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best American Roots Performance, Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Album as a member of the Black Pumas, which are based in Austin, Texas. Their “Colors” single, released in 2019, was certified gold by the RIAA.

The performance wouldn’t be the last misstep for the home team, as the Astros later lost 6-5 in Game 1 to fall behind 1-0 in the best-of-7 series.
