During the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field, Alex Cooper performed 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' in a uniquely off-key fashion. While she clearly enjoyed the performance, reactions from the audience were mixed, with many expressing their displeasure. The tradition of singing this classic song is associated with the late Harry Caray, whose passionate renditions are fondly remembered. Cooper's appearance was part of a promotional event offering special ticket packages, entailing a commemorative Cubs jersey featuring her branding.
Cooper belted out the song in an unnaturally low key and overly dramatic fashion, laughing often as she and two companions attempted to accompany the vocal performance with a few dance moves.
As this clip from the performance shows, there were many others who expressed their displeasure with Cooper's intentionally bizarre performance.
Cooper was cheered as she was announced over the loudspeaker as the latest guest to lead the stadium in the tradition.
For many fans in attendance, the performance went downhill from there.
