Damn.
As a firm supporter of, and financial donor to, the "dudes that love to see hot chicks in bikinis and various itterations of them in a KF grades thread" contingent, I am semi-ashamed to say that GGG has a good point. John Legend is really good. He was a better wingman than most of my friends throughout my college years

You know, Brick - all the Kings analysis aside, I'm realizing how damn good your theme writeups can be, after awhile of you having to deal with such craptastic play and forcing out so many back-to-back we couldn't see some of your more inspiring ones, like this one.
When you have time to prepare, your themes can be informational, historical, entertaining and point people towards solid resources.
Regardless of what happens with the Kings this offseason, I want to thank you for all the time and effort you've put forth during the years, of informing and entertaining KF's.com with the best of your Grades Threads.
Heck, I think it'd be fun for people to vote on a poll to find your Top 10 Best-Of Grade Thread Themes.....
As for this theme, I'm not a big fan of singers (truly don't enjoy listening to screamers like Mariah, Whitney, or Xtina) - they tend to mangle the notes too much.
But some really know how to work within the music, and stay more honest.
I'm glad you included Pink, and thought you might after starting with (as the 40-year old virgin says) ***KELLY CLARKSON!!***
LOL
I am not in her demographic either, but have grown to appreciate her and call myself actually a fan now.
I'm also glad you added that Grammy performance, as it should be seen by everyone.
Just. Achingly. Beautiful.
Heck, that entire Funhouse concert is spectacular.

I can't take the time to find it right now, but there's a video of Mariah Carey's first performance on the Arsenio Hall show (yes, Arsenio Hall). She was performing Vision of Love, I think (was 20 years ago, I'm not sure). Started, was clearly nervous, messed up ... asked if she could start over!!! So they took a break, came back, and she did nothing less than knock it out of the park. You usually don't get great performances on this kind of show, even from traditionally great performers -- the acoustics suck in those studios -- but she burned the house down.
It was then that I, even as a youngster, developed an appreciation for a real singer. As such, most of the so-called artists out today simply can't earn their way onto my radio. Rihanna can kick rocks. Even someone on the edge like Christina Milian can't really get any attention (unless she's on TV). These posers wouldn't have gotten past security at an early '90s record label.
