The MLB Needs To Hire These Oklahoma Artists Next Year
It's no secret that this year's Major League Baseball Homerun Derby was kicked off... unexpectedly, to say the least.
We love our Ingrid Andress, but that performance of the National Anthem was lackluster.
Let's help the MLB out - we've got artists in Oklahoma that will not only perform the National Anthem better than Ingrid, but they'll save them money with a small-town discount.
Skylie Thompson
She made an appearance on the auditions for the 20th season of American Idol. She may not have progressed on the show, but she has since skyrocketed on her musical career.
@skyliemariethompson @Zach Bryan do you need another duet partner?? Ill do anything!! TAG HIM!!! #zachbryan #dawns #zachlanebryan #countrymusic #calffry #oklahoma #americanidol #singer #duet #cover #maggierogers #fyp #zlb #zachbryanmusic #somethingintheorange ♬ original sound - skylie marie thompson💌
She's also performing constantly with her father, Dave Thompson, for various church camps and worships; needless to say, she can most definitely perform under pressure these days.
Krislyn Arthurs

From Northern Oklahoma, she's an experienced Okie that would sing the National Anthem and make the entire state proud. Yes, we have lots of country artists, but Krislyn throws her own spin on things with a rock/punk look and true rock country roots in her voice. She would own the stage you put her on, or in the MLB's case, the field.

Tory Rae
She's from Weatherford, Oklahoma and she's been doing this music thing for quite some time. A make-or-break-it difference between good performers and great performers is their professionalism. You want someone prepared, confident and ready to rock and roll.

Tory is known for her style and class on stage, along with her undoubtedly great voice no matter what genre you throw at her. Surely the National Anthem would be a walk in the park.
Cassidy Huckabay
Singer-turned-actress, Cass may be acting in Stupid Games, but she is also a powerful and incredible singer - I would know since we've worked together. She's from the little town of Snyder, Oklahoma and can sing in literally ANY and every place she's at. Even if her passion is acting now, she could still blow Ingrid's performance out of the water.

Elizabeth Nichols
Certainly you remember the Oklahoma boys song series she recently wrote. Just in a few minutes, she proved that she not only can carry a tune in a bucket, but she can even get creative with her vocal range.
Granted, she was singing in her room, so it might be a little different performing in front of thousands of people, but we have faith in her!
Let's share this enough to grab the MLB's attention because, let's face it, we know we can do better.
