Here's "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago from 1976. Very tender and touching:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djLCdycejr8<br /><br />She knows the classics, has a maturity range (in other streams, it will be "Boom Boom Boom Boom" by the Vengaboys), gets easily absorbed in the proper emotional state, and is comfortable in various genres (she does a bit of jazz, too).<br /><br />Go through that PTSD Shrimp archive of her unarchived karaoke, and scroll till something catches your eye. There's quite a variety there!agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-32351588387888469122022-03-30T18:35:13.050-04:002022-03-30T18:35:13.050-04:00Hololive revival of MTV Cribs: Gura and Mumei revi...Hololive revival of MTV Cribs: Gura and Mumei review and razz viewer-submitted room pics. Streaming is the Gen Z version of reality TV.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwXUlaluqb0<br /><br />The Red Scare podcast ladies should do this, too! But for those BPD art hoe "Damn gurl, you live like this?" studio apartments. They'd have to make it a video, uploaded to YouTube or somewhere, though they wouldn't have to appear on cam. Just talk over the images sent by listeners.<br /><br />Maybe next, Gura and friends can revive the What Not To Wear type of 2000s reality show, giving viewers a style makeover. Or revive Pimp My Ride... of course, Zoomers don't drive or own cars, hmmm. Pimp My Rig! One lucky viewer gets a tricked-out PC tower case, mechanical keyboard with all sorts of weird lights and shit, and a rare CRT monitor that's HD-capable. Hehe.<br /><br />Come to think of it, the karaoke sessions that the streamers do are also like reality TV. If they were meant to imitate recorded music, it would be, well, recorded. There's no post-production, no multiple takes, etc.<br /><br />It is somewhat like attending a live concert, but the setting doesn't feel so outside-the-home like a stadium concert or nightclub gig. It's more like the proverbial girl singing into her hairbrush in her bedroom. Only you're a fly-on-the-wall, like reality TV, witnessing her private daily activities.<br /><br />It also feels like an intimate house party, where one person can sing and gives an impromptu performance for the other guests. But reality TV either way.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.com
