a hobby that has led to a new feature

so, to get over the frustration of not yet being a famous singer, i have an awesome hobby, which is to judge and pick apart everyone who tries to sing on youtube. it's really awful. i'll pick a song--usually from a musical, but during the past few days i've also been doing songs by regina spektor--and then i'll watch every 15 year old high school girl who has attempted to sing it, and i'll go all simon cowell on them in my head.

and then i feel like a horrible person. people take this huge risk putting themselves on the internet, just so people like me, who don't have the guts to do that, can be assholes. so to get over my guilt: from this day on, each post will provide a link at the bottom to emma's youtube feature of the day. in other words, a person/people who i honestly think is/are really good. here's the first one--it's two high schoolers singing "by my side" from godspell.

they are by far the best people singing that song on youtube. but here's a runner up--definitely not as polished, but these kids look like they're about nine years old, so it's still amazing.

next time: deep thoughts about "happy babies," extended info on my life plan, and the best cover of something else awesome.
