Exactly, she butchered the living hell out of it. Might be the first time I have noticed such a huge difference in actual musical talent. Either that, or Alicia Keys is just in another league, which I guess is possible

"It has conclusions...that you can jump to..."

Know what I just realized? She's on the rerun of SNL tonight, doing this very song as one of her two performances. It's here if you wanna watch it without seeing Charles Barkley doing a godawful hosting job: http://www.2dopeboyz.com/2010/01/09/...s-x-snl-video/ (2nd link down). It's good when she does it, but really, what we got today was a watered down mess.

Pros
He actually follows the sport
He bets
He would try to do a good job

Cons
Jets fan
Celtics fan
Rachael maddow fan

The Jets thing is tough to overcome but he still wins by open lengths in a non-Droselmeyer like time

Dunno about the betting (maybe his dad places one for him), but Bode Baffert qualifies on points 1 and 3 of the pros list. As for cons, I doubt he's a fan of the Jets, Celtics, or Ms Maddow. Does that put him over the edge?

This is as close as I'll ever get to a recommendation from Chuck.

No. That talentless ho-bag singing it ruined it.
