Self-Expression- Monday- 4th period
Today the Danger Shop was done up more or less to look like Caritas. There were a couple changes: you couldn't get alcohol at the bar because hello, class, and the zombies were gone, replaced by a much more normal karaoke system.
Yep. Karaoke.
"I see everybody made it through the weekend," Kitty greeted them. "Some of you may be regretting that because today we're doing karaoke. For those of you who don't know, that means you find a song you want to sing, get up onstage, and you can read the lyrics off a prompter while you sing with background music. I'm going to give you guys time to figure out your songs- I tried to get songs from as far back as I could so if you're time displaced you should be able to find something- and then you all have to take a turn. It doesn't matter if you're good or not. Just find something that you can have fun with and make it your own."

Sing!

I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way...
Okay, Bay picked the song because she knew she could sing at least as well as Audrey Hepburn. She managed it credibly enough and was back in her seat the moment she was done.
Re: Sing!
not that I can listen to that link right now so la la handwaveywas pretty impressive, and convenient, since Cosette was quite familiar with it from the convent school. (Berlioz's Te Deum was more contemporary for her time, but please, as if the order of the Perpetual Adoration thought that version was sacred enough.). . . yes, a liturgical piece was the closest thing Cosette knew to popular music, but she sang it well, and sounded like someone who'd sung it often in the past.
Re: Sing!
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didn't care
I carried my friends out for a good time
Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
She didn't sing as well as Grace had, or any of the other legends who had covered the song, but she did her best, and that was all anyone could ask of her.
