No wonder her husband divorced her.

Somehow, I just don’t think that Charlie married he for her singing abilities; he’s shallow enough to do it for other reasons.

As someone who has been to Wrigley a few times when Harry Carey was there she wasnt half bad and as some of you have reminded all of us there have been worse see Mike Ditka,Ozzy Osborne,etc.

P.S. Southsider that hates the cubs but wrigley does rock! LOL

She did it for a good cause. Anyone who puts her down for it, is just plain insulting.

Yes. Anyone who was annoyed by that clip should contribute to that charity, to ‘make an amends’, as Senator Stuart Smalley would say.

And yes, Denise Richards…anyone who watched the clip and thought impure thoughts about Denise Richards or is thinking impure thoughts about Denise Richards RIGHT NOW should donate double.

[...] Hattip to Hot Air. After this rendition by Denise Richards, Take Me Out To The Ball Game, will never be quite the same again. If you have a fondness for that song, baseball, or the Cubs, you might wish to skip the above video. Seriously. [...]

OK, so she can’t sing. But hey, at least she knew the words!

Now if I were to point out the all time worst singing performance at a ballpark, my vote would go to …

Rosie Odonnel in San Diego! That clown finished up the national anthem with a nice crotch grab. Classy.

No, you are right she did know and she should have done something she was actually, you know, good at….

Fun bags?

She was asked at the last minute, and showed good humor.

That song should never be sung on tune…by the 7th you should be in lucky to stand for the “stretch”.

At least she got the lyrics right for Wrigley. Something that Ozzy Osbourne couldn’t do.

I pretty much waterboard & strangle any song I attempt to sing. As a child, I got in trouble for making fun of some songs we were working on for a play. I was being serious… that’s when I knew I wasn’t a singer.

I’m the official singer in a family of instrumentalists
Ms Richard’s was singing the Seventh Inning Stretch for a good cause-but that hurt.
Btw-I’m a die-hard Cubs fan who would love to sing at Wrigley.
I’m a nobody-but a twerp can dream.

Aw, that wasn’t so bad. So she’s a little tone deaf. From the build-up, I expected a trainwreck. This wasn’t that.

It figures. The game of baseball itself has been mugged, critically injured at Wrigley Field since 1908.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame is our national anthem?

As a Cubs fan, I could easily do witout the Hollywood nitwits like Cusack and this chick jetting in for the game and “singing” this tired, worthless song.

Just play the damned game and shut up.

Still doesn’t erase that great scene in “Wild Things.”

Star20 on May 4, 2009 at 8:55 PM

For real!

I just closed my eyes and imagined her singing that while cupping Neve Campbell from behind.

You know what? It started to sound okay!

Swear to God.
