Joe and I are hanging out in the hotel room before heading out to Pygmalion on our last day of NYC magic. I took a little time out to catch up on the [title of show] blog, which I thoroughly enjoy, and have gotten thoroughly behind on.

Omigod! Look what I’ve been missing!!

This is 15 year old Charice Pempengco, known as “the little diva,” singing “And I Am Telling You You’re Not Going” on the South Korean TV show “Star King.” Unbelievable!

When she sings “And you…and you…and you…You’re gonna love me!!” her chutzpa reminds me of the scene in the film Camp when Anna Kendrick is singing “Everybody rise! Everybody rise!” from “The Ladies Who Lunch”, and the whole audience stands up for fear of the consequences.

® I love that she changes the lyric to “you’re my best mom I’ve even known.”
® I love the audience members who wear looks that are a mixture of fear and awe and chatter among themselves as though we can’t hear them.
® I love the bubbles.
