For those of you who think the show was "canned," it was filmed quite some time ago (these were the auditions, if you are familiar with the American versions of the show), so we are seeing a heavily edited show that condenses the highlights and low points of those auditions. Of course, the producers and editors had quite a while to produce the final TV show from the tapes of the auditions, but not, I think, with the purpose of creating a false impression--just the opposite--they had a chance to combine camera shots and edits to give us a feel for what it must have been like to be there when this electric performance actually burst upon all the attendees. If you have seen even a smattering of the interviews in her home that have taken place since the show aired, you will know that she definitely dresses, behaves, and lives just the way the show suggested she did.
Not on iTunes yet. Boy, with 31 million views, you'd think they'd tap into the furor and get that song up there. I've got $.99 on go to spend just for the memory the song will give me every time I hear her sing it. Plus, it's a hell of a song.
Cry me a river is another grand slam. I really am wondering when the next BGT episode with her is going to air so that I can get my fix.
If you haven't seen Paul Potts from last year, do yourself a solid and pull him up on YouTube as well.
Thanks for the explanation stanhin. I stand corrected on my suggestion that this was marvelously scripted. More like a marvelous situation unfolded and with great editing and TV pros in front of the camera, the story came across to the audience. Honestly, nothing on television has entertained me more since Vince Young played for the Longhorns.
