I blame Christina Aguilera. She's a great singer who can do amazing runs. But now every single teen girl who thinks she can sings tries to emulate her.

I expected worse

In all honesty, I don't think I could ever expect worse. But it is sad for the little girl though.

At some point you're old enough to know better, or at least old enough for adults to be honest before throwing you out to the wolves

Pretty much this.

There was a great SNL sketch a few months ago called "You can do anything!"

basically mocking this phenomenon of people being terrible at things but the world not telling them because of self esteem concerns, etc.

And this is the best one ever.

2:05 girl in red, alternating emotions of amusement, bewilderment, and soul-wrenching pain

That really was. Especially considering when this was in our history.

I think they should know how to respect the national anthem.

Was expecting Marvin Gaye's NBA All-Star game or Whitney Houston's version. Both are great for entirely different reasons.

that was great

Yeah, Arturo is a beast. I just thought Jessie McGuire's before Game 7, 2001, right after 9/11 was the best...but Arturo is ridic. I actually used to listen to his Hummel Concerto over and over, liked it more than Wynton's.
