Mitchell is the Encyclopedia Britannica of Youtube. We spent hours looking stuff up. He tracked down clips of divas doin’ what they do. Here are some of the clips he showed me!
Whitney Houston singing what is (Mitchell is right) a really boring song – at least the recorded version of it. Yawn. But what she does with it here? Extraordinary. An amazingly specific performance – she is thinking, gesturing, pausing – and also building. It has a great build – she is totally in charge of her instrument here. Riveting.
