She's Not Going.....

And I'm telling you.... Not to be making fun of someone. But this poor girl borders on clueless. She was apparently a recent contestant in the 2010 Miss Arkansas contest. Miss Lake Dardanelle - Naomi Shure. Where to start....

Let's first talk choice of material which we refer to often. You certainly want a song that speaks to you. But such a classic song from a monumental musical like Dreamgirls belongs firmly in the hands of someone who can compete with Misses Holliday or Hudson.

Second - can we talk about arrangements? Whoever is helping edit her karaoke cuts seems to be snipping with a pair of pruning sheers to the point that the lyrics phrases make absolutely no logical sense at all. The composers would be cringing.

And then the singing. So much for modulation. She is singing in all keys and all at the same time. And I'm not even going to mention the costumes or the bad gesturing. This Dreamgirl is a Nightmare.

  1. You start off saying you don't intend on making fun of someone. You end by doing exactly that when you say, "And then the singing. So much for modulation. She is singing in all keys and all at the same time. And I'm not even going to mention the costumes or the bad gesturing. This Dreamgirl is a Nightmare."

    You may argue and say that you are just critiquing, but when you start of by saying you don't intend on making fun, and then you go ahead and mock someone, you knew full well that you intended to make fun of someone with this article. You just felt by starting out saying what you did, it would ease your conscience.

    Shame on you.

    I'll leave you with some words of wisdom:
