I watched the SNL that was recorded on my DVR from this Saturday and caught the last half of her first performance. Wow. That girl has pipes.

Know what I didn’t like?
She didn’t BOW.

It’s a little thing, huh? I don’t care.

When I was actively involved in music & performance, they drilled it upon me/us to always bow. I have actually had music coaches make us get up and practice concert bowing. It’s important to show the audience that while they appreciate your performance, you appreciate their coming to listen to you. There would be no performance if not for the audience.

Miss Underwood finished her song, stood smugly, and absorbed her audience’s adoration. She did not genuflect once to express her appreciation and humility that people care to listen to her, and have made her wealthy and successful. Man, I would sure be grateful to any audience that would do that for me. Every time.

I know she can sing. If you’re into country music, I guess she’s amazing. But something detracts from the talent if there is no gratefulness for it.

/ends her two cents.

Carrie Underwood because I think I have something to say…

Umm this is a personal blog and it's clear they have a lame agenda? Bowing? LOL Meanwhile Kristi Yamaguchi was criticized on DWTS for bowing too much due to her figure skating background. go figure. This thread is closed.
