That girl needs a hamburger asap!

[Bigsky]

I can't believe people pay to see that. That was torture...I only made it about 30 sec.

I am still feeling sick and disturbed...thanks Tracy

[ycartrob]

I only made it about 30 sec.

nice effort, minor kudos  :(

When she's introducing the band around the 7:00 mark, it sounds like they are jamming to a mix of "Whipping Post" and Zappa's "The Illinois Enema Bandit". I'm not kidding.

[Taterbug]

I don't have sound at work for my P.C. thank god.  I lasted only about 10 seconds.  Her scatt has gotta sound like shatt.

[MarkW]

I pressed the "play" button, saw it had over nine minutes to run, and stopped it before any sound came out.

I don't need kudos that bad.  Or props.  ;D

I completed the challenge but I wish that I hadn't, I want my IQ points back. Holy Celine Camel Toe! Some of the comments on the youtube page are pretty funny too, and I quote:

I didn't take the challenge due to the word scatting being involved and all. See, I'm no fangirl of the scatting but I have to note that Celine is not on this highly accurate list o'scatters. Hmmmm. I've highlighted the notables in red for ease of reference:

Celine must have picked up and mastered scat during her time in Vegas. As far as I know, scat isn't a Quebecois musical thing.

[mjkoehler]

Oh my overies hurt......oh wait I don't have any overies. That was just.....errrr wrong? On so many levels.

People actually willingly go see her? Oh the humanity

[tomEisenbraun]

When she's introducing the band around the 7:00 mark, it sounds like they are jamming to a mix of "Whipping Post" and Zappa's "The Illinois Enema Bandit". I'm not kidding.

Hmmm, I was picking up some minor accents of "Cosmic Debris" in there with it...

[Bigsky]

Holy Celine Camel Toe!

I think it's more like moose knuckle...

[SomethingCreative]

does it count if it was muted?
