I love the YYYs and enjoyed the performances. Were they stellar? No. But at least they were real, with no “backing tracks” or AutoTune or a bunch of additional players to help “fill up” the sound. Sure, Karen wasn’t hitting the notes perfectly, but that’s a hell of a lot better than Kanye West a few months ago, missing half the notes in both of his performances. And both are are leagues better than some Ashlee Simpson fakery… Plus, even a mediocre rendition of “Maps” is better than an excellent rendition of most tunes. I was pumped to hear “Maps” just because it’s always deserved more recognition. If this gets people downloading more YYYs on iTunes and Rhapsody, it’s worth it by far.
































…And by the way, my ears are still bleeding after listening to that Phoenix singer bleating like a squirrel caught in a lawnmower last week. So I’ll take any YYYs I can get after that.
