Lips of an angel
Let me run through this clip...
The first thing thats going to happen is that youre going to see this lil turd squirt walk onto the stage holding a microphone that is roughly half the size of her entire body. Secondly, youre going to sigh a lil inside and brace yourself for another half ass performance from a lil girl who thinks they can sing...if youre lucky, she might sing OK for a 6 year old! You will probably acknowledge the panel with SIMON, the devils step son...sticking out like a black baby in a diaper commercial. You imagine him tearing this kid a new @sshole just for shits and giggles, then her running of stage, crying...never to be heard from again.
In a few seconds, youre going to start watching this clip. Soon after, you will stop whatever it is you might be doing.....
You may now close your mouth.
This is a bone chilling performance, near surreal...the feeling that something larger than all of us was somehow intertwined with this little girls voice. The fact that a sound so wonderful, so beautiful and awe inspiring...isnt supposed to shine so brightly in a darkened room from a six year old child. As if an angel was singing through her, to us.
She sang a few other times during the show, including a hit from Michael Jackson tune (Ben) from years ago when he was a kid. Never did any of those performances come close to that initial meeting of Connie -vs- the World.
Thats the only problem with unique events such as the one witnessed...we always want more, until we dont remember why we wanted it so much in the first place. The fact that something so beautiful to us, can become so jaded, so quickly...
is so, so very sad.

As usual, your gift for literary expression always has me coming back for more…When I first listened and watched this clip, I felt a chill down my spine and the need to swallow deeply. I think you nailed it when you said: “As if an angel was singing through her, to us.”
Some believe that angels often appear in the shape of humans who possess some form of extraordinary beauty. Their task has its challenges, but it is they that have the power to teach, bring us joy, and comfort us in times of despair. This little girl will be around for as long as she has to…
