Title: There's a Talent Show at My School Tonight
Post by: ZGDK on May 16, 2008, 11:15:38 AM
Some kids are doing a tribute to Led Zep. I'd like to see that, but it's not worth sitting through a Hannah Montana song, dancing, and all that poop for.

You have to hope people will upload some videos onto YouTube.  People did that in my school.

Same here, or at least the really funny or good ones.

If your joining the show, here are some rules:

1. NO COMEDY ACT! Chances are, your either not funny at all, or so funny that nobody will get any of your jokes. I have NEVER seen a sucessful comedy act at a talent show! Never!

2. If your going to do something that has to do with music, I would not reccomend doing a band, unless they can REALLY play well, without many mistakes. Also, if your singing, sing a song that everybody knows, but isn't overplayed or heavily overrated. For instance, Soulja Boy is heavily overrated and overplayed, and everybody knows it. However, David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" is known by everybody as well, but is probably not played or heard as much as "Soulja Boy". Not to mention it's a godly song!

3. Simple magic tricks are off limits. Well known but difficult magic tricks are OK, but nothing easy and cheesy.

Please no.

I would recommend doing a song that doesn't have such a great vocalist singing.
Last thing people want to hear is some teenage boy ruining a great song.

This reminds me of a talent show at my middle school.
This one girl sang "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion.
I couldn't stop laughing it was so horrendous.

This one girl sang a Kelly Clarkson song (can't remember which one) for a talent show about three years back, and it was pretty good. However, two years ago, two little children obliterated some HSM song. That was that school's last talent show.

I seriously laughed at Shujinco recommending "Under Pressure." Do you have any idea how hard that would be to emulate?

Anyway, tributes to Led Zep usually suck because nobody can sing like Robert Plant, but oh well.

Tell everyone to give you $2.00-$5.00 so you can perform your talent. When everyone gives you the money, run. Spend to your hearts content.

Until I come up with something better, keep this in mind.

It would only be funny because of how unbelievably stupid a person would have to be to do that. And the laughs would only continue in the vein of "god darn that kid was a retard."

That would be the equivalent of watching a Family Guy episode.

In other words, retarded.

That's the point I was trying to make.

If you're going to perform at a talent show, you should pick a song sung by a vocalist who isn't that great.
