They decided not to play the real thing. They pre-recorded the piece due to the cold weather and it’s affect on their sound and instruments. But this stinks. Aretha Franklin did not sound her best, but most people understand what cold weather does to sound, and she pulled off the real deal. What bothers me about this is that Yo-Yo talked about how he was nervous about the performance a few days earlier. WTF were you nervous about? You couldn’t do your best Ashlee Simpson impersonation? On top of that, it does not look good for the Obama administration. First HBO censors a gay bishop’s prayer, than these guys lipsinct classical music, and when Obama decides to take the oath over, he does not allow in TV cameras and forgets his bible. All in a couple of days.
Here’s the deal, Barry, we elected you because we were tired of censorship and GW Bush. Live up to your promises, let’s be transparent. I can’t take another 4 years of this kind of bullshit.
I think this post is a regurgitated turd. It was FREEZING there. They played their instruments, and those sitting within earshot got to hear the real deal. But the decision to broadcast a pre-recorded session so the american masses could hear the music as it was intended, isn’t a big deal. It doesn’t say anything about the Obama administration. It says volumes about the blogosphere and MSM who can’t shut the fuck up about something so trivial and focus on shit that actually matters.. like the economy, or gitmo, or abortions for guatemalan sluts.
I just find it funny that two of the most famous classical musicians in the world were worried about ‘how they sound’ They always sould great. Talk about being vain. I’m no sound man, but couldn’t they have put the mic stands closer to their instruments? I’m just saying.
