Just to be clear . . .



Did I just get mooned by a bunch of white people singing Run and Tell That!?

I'd sue. For the crappy lyric change alone.

I appreciated the effort and energy of the choir. But, really....
So, to get the bad taste out of our mouths, try this..

Oh!

Uhm, wow!

They put a lot of time and energy into screwing up a really great song.

What were they thinking?!

After that, show choirs should be made illegal.

That was just all shades of wrong.

And I don't just mean white and hot pink and sea green.

Youtube really should censor some videos.

Wow, that was truly horrendous. **shivers**

I feel bad for the kids, because if they had a good teacher they would
A. Not sing a song that's all about soul, when they clearly don't have any.
B. Not have to sing a song whose lyrics have been (badly) changed.
C. Not be stuck in those hidious outfits!

I was in a show choir back in HS, and we were lucky to do 1/2 showy 1/2 Jazz, and also got to where Blue and Black, which was much cuter than these poor kiddies! Thanks for the laugh Marc!

I do feel bad for show choirs...they think they're all that, then they come over here to the city and suddenly Hairspray is about segregation and their choir vocals can't do anything for them anymore...

This looks like one of those musical theater programs in colleges that are all about the dance and don't really care or teach the vocal part of it. It makes me sad if these are the best soloists they could get for a great song (that they butchered).

totally, I mean can any of the girls actually sing another part besides soprano? I feel like any girl there who should be an alto is just whipsering through the whole thing.

I saw another show choir that did Sunday from SITPWG complete with costumes and everything, then they had the bright idea to end the song with the people set up like the painting, on risers without the framed lighting...it looked like a bunch of people in bad costumes and horrible diction standing at odd places looking all dignified...

That sounds an amazing afternoon, Boq101...can you please let me know next time something like that is going on in the city?

There really are some truly amazing competitive showchoirs out there...

... this just wasn't one of them! Yikes.

wow... just wow.

I rather liked that.

Granted the vocals were awful, but the choreography was creative and the costumes were colorful!

Oh look! Something shiny!

Show choirs are such a terrifying midwestern phenomenon. I had never even heard of them until I went to college in Iowa and my freshman year roommate insisted on watching videos of herself in show choir 24/7.... when the "Rent" medley came on I had to leave the room.

[FosseForever3]

Posted: 6/13/07 at 11:58am

AHAHAH!! Oh wow! Well, they were certainly giving it "everything they've got" so to speak. I mean, poor kids, when you've got that choreo and material to work with, what can you do?

"soars to the sky" by far my favorite moment. Also when they randomly jumped on the guys' backs. hehe

Posted: 6/13/07 at 12:14pm

Spare a thought for Andrew Lippa too! I found a whole medley of Wild Party songs all with "altered" lyrics, removing everything to do with sex, alcohol, violence and bladders..Oh, and religious references!


And why do the girls always have curly hair? (I'm British, I don't get these things, we don't have them)

[TheatreDiva90016]

And WHY are show choirs popular in the mid-west?

Because none of those kids could carry a tune if it were in a bucket. May as well lump them all together and 'dazzle them with some fancy footwork.


And I KNOW they had to have lost at least one person from injury due to running up and down those risers. THAT'S what I want to see video of.

"show choirs make me sad inside."

god that made me laugh.
this is nothing compared to the Italian website that shows the WHITE cast in BLACK FACE for characters. Heinously wrong!!!
