I don't know if anyone has posted this up yet, but here's a little bit from last night's festivities. You wouldn't know it if you met me in person, for while I do loosely resemble and sound like a bear, I am also a total sucker for a talented vocalist. The Three Tenors, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, anybody that can sing a baby to sleep or flay your soul bare are my favorites.
So imagine my delight when reading the big announcement on Doonesbury this morning! Down at the bottom of the page, a video of Alicia Keys. That set of pipes she's got, plus accompanying herself? This bear isn't going to twitch while that songbird belts one out about PBO. Vid below the jump.
And just because they as a group did so well with a song that I'm always ambivalent about, here's the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir again:
Now, I lost my singing voice at birth, but LOVE this sort of stuff. Some mornings, we rumbling, grumbling, uncouth creatures just want to listen to the music.
