…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.

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.
