So my girlfriend and I are watching TV after getting home from working all day, just happen to turn on the TV and this girl says she is going to sing a song from a musical that my girlfriend is in.... she is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I was in tear by the end of it. And the whole time I was like "what is she going to do with the final note...?"

And then she hits it... and holds it... and sings it... and it is so good that my girlfriend and I can't speak.

Just watch it. Her name is Bianca Ryan and she is singing "And I am Telling You (I'm Not Going)" from Dreamgirls. Oh my God it was so good. She is like a tiny little white girl with freckles and red hair that has a little Aretha Franklin inside her.

So amazing... watch it and comment your amazement. Your pure amazement.

I watched that the other night on TV. it was amazing, like she said - she's got the ghost of a black woman inside her. Never heard an 11 year old like that ever.

On a crutch.

I still can't believe that's an 11 year old and not a very well-developed black woman. I don't particularly like solo singers, but when she held that last note I was pretty fuckin' impressed.

Oh -- and on a side note -- isn't she your fiancee now?

Impressive.

On a side note, does every one of these lame competitions need a grumpy english fuckwad as the "spoiler" on the judge's panel?

Don't worry, I still call my wife (of 11 years) my girlfriend. I just say it's more convenient to have your wife and your girlfriend be the same person.

As to the singer, yes, she has a big voice. She sounds like every other belter out there. Why does every female singer feel the need to belt every song at 110%?

Redlemon, I disagree. I find a lot of the professional singers I work with use something called a belt mixture which is a healthy mix of head tones and chest voice. It's what most professionals use unless you are talking untrained, or genre dependant singers (like rock, punk, occationally blues and some pop). But I find trained and talanted singers simply use a mix. Girlfriend is an amazing mixture belter, but cannot straight out belt at all... it feels too much like screaming for her and her training will shut it right off. Some great examples of mixture masters are Whitney Huston, Aretha Franklin (except some of her more chesty sounding pieces), etc etc. There are lots of straight belters but that usually ends them in the hospital for node surgery.

Wow. Holy crappoly. That girl can sing. Outrageous.

You know, one day 15 years from now there's going to be a TV special that shows rarely-seen performances by stars from when they were kids, before they were famous. That performance ought to be on it.
