Well crap. Now I'm ruined for the rest of the afternoon.
Two minutes in, I can tell this is another one that will get me all choked up.
@FernLovebond Definitely did for me. Amazing talent.
@codeWhisperer Her voice is just incredible. And it may not be my style of music, but if that's her amateur songwriting, she has some serious career options coming up.
@FernLovebond That total audience silence at the end of her second song. Fully well-deserved. 🙂
Oh, I'm pretty sure that's just a technique the sound designers use. They do that a lot on AGT, bc it heightens the viewer sense of drama. A couple of interviews I've watched noted it explicitly, w/ remarks like "the audience didn't go quiet, they never stopped making noise," and "oh, they edited that to seem like it was silent and then a slow clap, but that didn't really happen, it's good editing."
@FernLovebond makes sense, because it works. 🙂
@codeWhisperer
Oh void, I'm such a sucker for these shows, especially the tearjerker moments. They're *SO* good at that!!!
