DC Tom Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 You were all drinking heavily during the first game, weren't you? That was horrible...not nearly as bad as the kid in the Eagles game, naturally, but putrid nevertheless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 It really wasn't very good. She was waaay off key on the high note. What's funny is that she was palateable, and you guys rave about her. But some kid who is obviously disabled in some way (turns out he's blind) sings off key and you guys tear him apart. (Did anyone happen to notive two of the servicemen while he sang were crying? Tears flowing and everything). She won Star Search for kids? Well good for her... she was still off key. I give props to the little kid in the first one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i didn't mean to tear into the girl like that, but i just think its awfult that since she was "better" as a singer meant people are nice about it. But a blind kid is off key, we start a thread ripping on him? (and I'm sorry, if someone says they didn't know he was blind - well, it was just very easy to tell SOMETHING was wrong with him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl may not have had complete control over her notes, but she sure as hell could belt it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Whoever was hacking on the first kid should be shot.........I don't see how you can hack on either of them given the simple fact that they're both KIDS. 215597[/snapback] It isn't about hacking on a kid. Having a kid sing is fine -- if the kid has some talent. The girl obviously has talent, even if she overdid it a little. The kid in the Eagle game sounded like he won a seat lottery five minutes earlier. Why the NFL/Fox/Philly people would have him sing is beyond me. I guess it's more of the 'American Idol' mentality at work. Why bother with getting people who can actually sing the song when you can give someone their 30 seconds of fame.

Or.....even worse......maybe the kid has a terminal disease, has had a pretty sh------- 10 years of existence, and someone actually thought maybe giving the kid one amazing experience in his life was worth bugging people who are annoyed by it?

And the land of the <awkward pause> Braay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-a-a--ay-ay-ay-a-a-a-ave. Started with Whitney Houston in the '91 Super Bowl and now they all sing in a way that calls attention to themselves rather than the lyric. Moved into regular music too. I hate it. Carry the note ala Jeff Buckley or cut it off. No offense to the girl, she's just mimicing all the others who have nice voices but have no connection with what they're singing.

I'm sure Timmy has the "American Idol" mentality, and dying for his 30 seconds of fame... From http://www.shrinershq.org/whatsnewarch/arc.../sings8-02.html : An outgoing 9-year-old, Timmy has been a patient at the Philadelphia Shriners Hospital since he was 18 months old. He was born prematurely at 26 weeks, diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy and retinopathy of prematurity (both retinas were detached). Timmy is no stranger to hospitals, having spent more than four months in intensive care after coming into the world. At birth, he weighed slightly less than two pounds. Today, though, he is a burst of sunshine whenever he returns to the hospital for additional treatment. His most recent visit to Shriners was for surgery on his hamstrings. Releasing the hamstrings allows him to walk better and straighter. His follow-up therapy sessions are special treats for everyone, because he never leaves without singing a song or two. After hearing him carry a tune, an employee commented, "This kind of therapy is beneficial for all of us." "... Timmy is even teaching his mom Braille (sighted people read Braille with their eyes, not with their fingers)." Oh, and here's a picture of the kid that ruined your day by singing off-tune... I'm sure he's sorry that he bothered you. http://www.shrinershq.org/resources/betwee...sings1-8-02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just had a DC Tom moment. 215641[/snapback] I was talking about non-stutterers who stutter-sing, by drawing out a syllable and breaking their voice in between short segments for 20 seconds. If what you say is true, why couldn't Ken sing out 'Cathcart Towers Hotel' in "A Fish Called Wanda"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
