Jordan Sparks sang it horribly. 1) There should be no backround music. 2) You don't display your talent when singing that song. Just sing it RIGHT. No need for vibrato or prolonging notes for longer when needed, and especially no changing of the notes.
I'm surprised with Whitney Houston. She has such a deep powerful voice, you'd think that's all she need, but she messed it up too. The last guy was the worst singer on the face of the planet, but at least he tried and laughed at himself. Ugh, they all sucked at it. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute

Special Bip, you're able to judge Jerome the way you do, and now you judge Carl Lewis the way you do. Your mom must be proud.

TMS: Your slow response to my 2k9 inquiry is troublesome to me. Please schedule a meeting with me so that we can discuss how we can make you a better poster and quicker responder. Obviously we have gotten off track somewhere.

I thought the one with the girl And Maurice Cheeks stepping in to be quite memorable.
As for nicest one, Marvin Gaye's Nike ad rocks totally. |

Posted by Bippity10: What made that even better was if you were watching Sportscenter at the time and saw Charley Steiner's and Jack Edwards' reactions. Steiner was in tears and Edwards was hyperventilating. -- the preceding post was brought to you by the letter K and the number 22.

This one is my favorite one not posted. Mo Cheeks helping the little girl out
I like this one, because it's The Dead opening in San Fran, opening day. But I like to smoke pot DLeethal wrote:

Posted by SupremeCommander: The Mo Cheeks one was great. Great moment from a great guy. One of the more memorable moments in my annual of "great things done by great people" books. That being said, I'm not one for sap. I prefer pure embarrassment I just hope that people will like me

Whitney for sure-
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

One most have probably never seen or heard...
In a recent U.S. vs. Trinidad & Tobago World Cup 2010 qualifier match held in T&T, it was played on steel drums before the game... I was amazed at how cool and original of a rendition it was. Of course, Jimmi Hendrix version is an absolute classic... Marvin Gaye's is pretty fresh also. [Edited by - PresIke on 11-14-2008 1:07 PM] Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...
