When I first heard her sing I did wonder if she was trying to sing some arrangement she had heard that had modulations in it but didn't realize the accompaniment was essential to making that work.

That's fantastic! The next best is polka version I just saw. This has inspired some real creativity!

This is the version you send to someone who can't sense the unaccompanied performance has wandered...

Amazingly good a capella and pianist. I really enjoyed these post mortem harmonisations. Extremely well done and very funny polka version too. Thanks for sharing!

Friend: Is that a famous singer?
Me: She's famous now!

It is almost as if a guy with horns and a red cape came up and offered to make her an internet star.

In this crazy world someone could capitalize on her notoriety and produce an album of songs sung by her. I bet some people would buy it just for laughs. And what about the others (there have to be some out there) who didn't notice anything amiss in her performance?

As for me, my ears can take no more!

What's been interesting to watch is that her bad pitch and other issues aside, the random wrong notes and key modulations actually constitute a legitimately interesting reworking of the melody. That's why Youtube accompanists have been all over this. If she just sang out of tune, there'd be nothing to do but cringe. But she sings so out of tune that other possibilities open up. If a skilled singer would recreate her performance but sing it in tune, it could be interesting to listen to. I've been expecting someone to do that, but I haven't seen it yet.

Doesn't the tech now exist to correct all her pitches? With her voice, it may sound okay.

It's a bit like when you go to the Modern Art museum and wonder, "Is that banana peel nailed to a football terrible... or is it radical?"

Has anyone here ever heard the "Jonathan & Darlene Edwards" [Paul Weston & Jo Stafford] album on which he purposely stumbles on the keyboard and she purposely sings off-key ? The album cover has a photo of a piano keyboard being played by two right hands. I once took it to a New Year's Eve party, put it on the turntable and NO ONE noticed that it was "different" ! Scary, huh ?

The problem with Paul & Jo was that they were clearly excellent musicians with perfect rhythm, even though the piano was pretty funky and the voice out of tune (singing nonsensical lyrics), so it wasn't immediately obvious that they were pulling our legs!

I think Karaoke has been around long enough that merely singing badly in public isn't notable anymore.

Even this CPAC thing has never quite reached critical mass. Musicians pass it around, bloggers who will comment on anything have covered it, but no major news org has taken it up like they might a Roseanne meltdown.

It's big enough for her to be thoroughly embarrassed but unfortunately not big enough to warrant a self-promoting apology tour of media outlets or even an "I refuse to apologize" tour of same.
