NFL fans were left unimpressed by Jon Batiste’s ‘jazzed up’ rendition of the national anthem ahead of the Super Bowl.

The American singer-songwriter was given the honor of singing the Star-Spangled Banner ahead of the Chiefs-Eagles showdown in New Orleans, but fans felt he got the tone of the occasion completely wrong.

Taking to X, one viewer wrote: ‘Sing the national anthem like the national anthem. It’s not a jazz improv song! This is shameful.’

Another added: ‘I think you disrespect the national anthem by trying to jazz it up. Sorry, but not really sorry.’
