From the link in the second post (roll over Chopin indeed!):

"After listening, it is interesting to reflect on the fact that Mlle Elizondo was subsequently awarded the $1,000 William R. Morris Memorial Talent Award and the $200 Rick Stitzel Most Talented Musician Award."  Shocked

I'd hate to hear the other people who were in line for that award....

Bunch of crazy/funny people. Smiley

THe performance, along with the announcement at the beginning and the applause at the end, is quite ironic.

What kind of crappy awards are they?    like what, nearly every one gets one award for compensation?

Smiley... Huh... Undecided... Shocked... Angry... Grin... Embarrassed... Lips Sealed... Cry (the order of my emotions while listening to this)

WHAT in God's name was THAT!?!? It sounds like Stockhausen. Played backwards. Through a washing machine.

Thank GOODNESS she left out half the piece...

I dont think they 1) recognised the comperoser's name because of the stupid show host 2) thus thought it was 20th century... or self composed... or maybe they thought it was an impromptu improvisation... or maybe they just didnt think anything at all... they could be deaf. Or just very very stupid.

You know, earlier today (20 mins ago) I was having a crying emotional angry fit at how crap I play(ed) and how the the people I trust most just couldn't be honest with me... and listening to this has 1) made me feel one hell of a lot better about myself and 2) confirmed for me my theories and opinions about people and their fake truthless ways.

She obviously is one of the greatest musical talents of our time. She has the velocity to play the piece very very slightly over standard tempo, the fingers to miss about half the notes, tone production that rivals that of the finest sledgehammers, and the great artistic vision to cut more than half the piece (undoubtedly because it has a lot of repeats, and that'd be boring).  Wink

I thought we were talking about Miss-Texas-runner-up, not Comme.

excuse me if i have misread or not understood anything, but i swear she is just a model right? if so, even though it was a crappy performance, you gotta give her credit for being a model and playing the piano. i mean, what can most other models do, eh?

and about the audience, you will find that in the world of Pop music and fashionable people, their audiences would clap for anything. half these people in the Pop industry put on terrible live performances, yet their fans just yell out because they are like idols to the fans.

what the hell was that?  I didn't even recognize it! wow...
It's not that shocking that she won that award, think about it, she's beautiful and she obviously has more intelligence than most beauty pageanters because she know 7 lteer anmes: A-B-C-D-E-F-G.  And that's pretty darn good when you think about it.

She was quite cleaver to play piece that a beauty pageant audience and judges would not know.  She could butcher it playing loudly with hands flying everywhere and still look good, which is the point to a beauty pageant. 

I'm sure she also works with children, volunteers at a hospital, is taking quatum physics in university, as well as being a piano virtuoso.

What in gods name was that!?!?!? I thought I was going to hear something mildly listenable to, but I can't make out anything in the beginning! I hope this hasn't given the audience a false representation of 'showpan's sharezo'...
