"Don't stop me now!"

Craig the baton twirler.

I've watched this clip about 4 times now and I cry every time. It's the looks on the faces - the judges, the audience, and Granny backstage - and Craig himself.

Killing me!! Also - the SONG he chose to perform to.

Perfect clip.

(Thanks for linking, Alex!!)

I think there's something in my eye. Oh dammit, who am I kidding? I'm crying.

That was awesome. I find the American version of this show really boring and impossible to watch. I wish they'd replace it with the British one. The talent is so much better. That opera singing cell phone salesman?! Amazing!

Oh God - I know!!

The look on that granny's face!!

that was excellent. I'm really disappointed, though, because they showed too much everyone else and not enough Craig. I didn't want to see the audience cheering and everyone backstage enjoying the show while he was performing, i want to see him performing.
maybe its PMS. oh wait, no its not. i'm just crabby.

Mere - I had totally the same thought! Like - yes, show us SOME of the judges reactions - but please stay mostly on him.

Crab away, sister.

I feel the same way. I love that boy. I love his granny. I love that song. I love the fact that he twirls a ba-ton. I love Simon. I love the whole damn show. *sob*

I tend to be really cynical about those types of shows (and yes, I agree, from what little I've seen of the U.S. version, it's really boring), but that made me cry. And I mean in a good way.

I loved when the female judge said, "I WANTED you to be good."

(I think that's my objection with a lot of the talent-show type shows that are on....there's too much of an expection of "I want some of these people to really be bad and to humiliate themselves)

Surely there must be a better way to organize your website..this is way too cumbersome for me and my computer!

Mark - are you kidding me? I need to re-design for one bozo who has an issue?
