A CD, please.

After yesterday's post, I spent some time on Youtube and found this wonderful clip of Whitney Houston performing at the 1994 American Music Awards. This is a 10 minute clip in which she performs "I Loves You, Porgy", "And I'm Telling You", and "I Have Nothing". Please sit back and enjoy this classic performance.

You can tell a true vocal talent by their delivery of the classics. She was impeccable!

Now you may think that the topic of today's rant will be about Whitney and her entanglement with Bobby. Nope. You might think that I'm disappointed that said entanglement has bruised her career. Not really. I'm eagerly looking forward to new music from Whitney. I'm sure that she will bounce back from her troubles and bless us with something incredible.

Here's the rant: Can I get this performance on cd?!!!! I would love to have this in my ipod for the days that I'm in the mood for classic live vocal performances. Why is it that it's virtually impossible for me to get any of the live performances from the AMAs, the Grammys, or the Oscars? Thank God for youtube, otherwise many of these performances would be lost to the general public after the initial airing. Has no one looked at compiling these performance and selling them as a money making project? As an attorney, I understand that there are probably many legal hurdles in the making of such a recording, but dang! If anyone were to tackle this project, I would think Dick Clark would be the first. Dick, hire me! I'll straighten out the legal issues and get all of these live recordings on dvd and cd.

A little bit off topic but not too much. I was watching the beginning of that Youtube clip and I have to say goofy kids have hope. Will Smith and Chris Rock are testament to that. Get a little bit of money, and a wife with some sense and she can turn your situation around.
