• Oh my god, she's insane.
• I love how out-of-tune she gets on those long notes... it's like, the pitch keeps shifting and she sounds like an annoying flying insect. (When this appeared on MeFi I think I said something along the lines of, "Pick a key, Connie... any key!"). And the grunt at 1:34 when she gets off of the piano is priceless. If anyone needs me I'll be pouring bleach in my ears for the next hour or two.
• Well damn it, Chyren, she's married to Maury Povich. What was your first clue? She always seemed so together next to his weirdness. I knew it was only a matter of time before her true colors shined through.
• Everybody Wang Chung tonight!
• Without watching it, is this a video of the sendoff from the talk show she did with Maury? I'm deliberately trying not to watch.
• My computer here in work has decided to stop sound. I gather in this case it is a good thing.
• God, that talk show was the most annoying, idiotic trainwreck of unfunny I've seen in awhile. Made the Today show look like Charlie Rose.
• I loved what Jon Stewart said. Something along the lines of - "There's so much wrong with this I don't know where to start, but firt off, why does she need the pianist?"
• The pianist appears to be playing at times- perhaps the mike channel was muted. Too bad they turned the mike off on the wrong channel. Connie's performance made me recall a review from the Saturday Evening Post where it was once written of another "singer": "the fingernails of her talent scraped against the blackboard of her ego".
• How I wish more people were able to laugh at themselves this hard. Heck, Bill Shatner has taken really bad singing all the way to the bank. Wang Chung tonight, indeed.
• Connie Chung has a pianist? Woah.
• No word on the turtleneck.
• YouTube must die.
• And she named it "Maury".
• Wow. She's worse than Ashlee Simpson and that's pretty damn bad.
• As a young lad I fell in love with Connie and this video just rekindled the flame.
• When I was a lad I served a term As a doting lover with a heart that burned I watched her broadcast and I watched her speak, And I listened to her newscast 'til my knees gre weak. I listened to her newscast so lovinglee That now I am the wooer of the Queen Connee!
• Connie Chung has a pianist? Yes, but this is a rare case where I did not suffer any pianist envy. As Freud once said, "sometimes an appalling performance is just an appalling performance"
• My work computer actually does have sound, but I lucked out by not connecting my headphones. Jebuscrapptiy, what makes people think they're either singers or comedians these days? What's with crossover fever among the tv elite? And what's with YuteTube not putting some kind of warning that I could click on first?
• The question is not was she drunk, the question is, how long has she been drunk? Weeks, months?
