Well, another December, another Piratefest, and another attempt by Little Miss Field Day to win the "Oh Say Can You Sing" competition.
I thought that this was the best rendition she's done yet. OK, so my opinion is biased, sue me.
Long & short of it... she was winning, with 26 points (the three judges were pretty stingy this time around, and didn't seem to want to be there), until the next to last singer. Now, this girl was good, very good. Was she better? I didn't think so, but they gave her 3 10's -- 30 points, and she won. Afterwards, the one player who gave Jess an 8 came up to her afterwards, apologized and said he should have given her a 10 also. Oh well.
However, all the finalists got something (never been done before), 2 tickets to a 2015 game. So it wasn't a total loss. They were also all told that if there was an opening for someone to sing the national anthem at a 2015 game, they might get a call. Not holding our breath on that one, but it was nice to hear anyway.
Here's the link to the video... judge for yourself. http://youtu.be/SHSjYEchJIQ
