They could have added some harmonies. Girls always an octave higher than the guys = annoying.

...is it sad that I actually OWN Run and Tell That and can actually sing it better than I can most of the Link Larkin songs...

Maybe I'll post my version in a second so Marc for all of your enjoyment (...and ridicule of course)

hah...but this over-enunciation is driving me bonkers...I mean besides the obvious fact that they edited entire point of the song OUT of the song.

What makes me more happy than that wonderful rendition is that Marc actually posted it. haha. I am not a huge show fan choir. There is an awful "Once Upon A Time" from BKLYN out there and while it may not be a great show it is not a choir song in any means. I just love how the make everything so proper...oh so funny!!

LLW I am not gonna lie....although "It Takes Two" is my staple audition song...I would love to be Seaweed.

Yeah, Marc, I'm cracking up at the fact that somewhere out there, this terrible male soloist has no idea that the composer of the song he just threw over a rafter and hung is cracking up at his efforts.

Energetic enough choir, though, I'll give them that...

That's just...odd.


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I can imagine their choir director now......"OK, take out all the BLACK stuff!"

That's not even half as bad as when I went to an audition and a young white girl got onstage and performed a monolouge about how hard it is to be a black girl! Updated On: 6/11/07 at 09:56 PM

There should be a law...

That was truly frightening.

My favorite part was the Inez solo though, I seriously almost knocked my tea over when she... can you even call that going to head voice?

OK... Speaking from Show Choir experience. They did a pretty good job.


Speaking as someone who knows better.... OHMIGOD WTF WAS THAT!!!!

That was campier than the white Miss America contestant in the early 90's singing "And I Am Telling You"!
