Here's Something You Don't See Every Day...

Now, I don't particularly care for the song itself, which is pretty thin. And she's obviously nervous as hell, being her first time on TV and all. But there are some interesting things about this performance that are worth noting. Chief among these is that this is an actual girl, that can actually sing and dance, performing an actual song, with an actual band that can actually play.

It's really sad that this is worth noting, since this was the norm not so very long ago. But when you've received a decade-long barrage of nasal-voiced scale princesses with backing tracks and indie rock shoe-gazes that look down on any aspect of virtuosity and performance in favor of some hazy concept of "independence," this is really quite a relief.

So, apparently Sean Combs has decided to save us from ourselves. Well, more power to him, I say. http://bit.ly/bhpdoG
