Only time I've ever wished I had HBO.
I see that LuPone critiques one of the students for riffing, which I know she's come out against. (I'm on her side, for the most part). What I find funny is, now having read her memoir, that she had no problem adding a riff to "I Dreamed a Dream" back in the 80's. She claims that she was the one who decided to go up the scale on shame to give the song a little something extra.

It was on HBO Family at 7:30 Eastern last night.
I thought she and the program were both excellent. And I found the riff moment fascinating: the girl did the riff really well--but when she dropped it at Patti's instruction, that same musical moment was a hundred times more powerful.

I was a little astounded that Patti didn't seem to know what the "highs" in "I Miss the Mountains" referred to. I am glad that she made the girl pick another song--I agreed that it was much too old for her.
Her suggestions were really great, especially with the second kid. I loved when she was like "Why are you saying it so negatively? You're in love with this girl!"

In that same critique, I loved when she said "You want to BE her bagel. AN EVERYTHING BAGEL!"
I actually liked everything she did with Maggie, including commenting that the mountains were orgasms (and Maggie's face when she said that). But I especially liked that she called her out on her joke about the single malt whiskey at Joe Allen, because she seemed like the kind of girl who needs a little boost in her confidence (and I think Patti recognized that).

Posted: 5/8/13 at 4:23pmIf you know someone with HBO you can borrow their HBO GO account and watch it. It's allot of fun. La LuPone gives some fine advice!

Posted: 5/8/13 at 4:38pmThe best part, by far, was Patti saying the "highs" and "mountains" in "I Miss the Mountains" are references to having an orgasm.
