I was. Last night was probably the last time I watch a televised gala. My question was, what the heck does Jennifer what’s her name singing pop songs have to do with Independence Day? That and the fact the Pops played the 1812 overture first (and it was edited) and not during the fireworks. WTF?

I noticed the other televised events featured celebrity losers as well (probably singing their crap as well) so I avoided them thinking the Pops would be the more traditional one.

Bummer.

I kept thinking to my self that she couldn’t really be as bad as she sounded because she had won all kind of awards.

She really did just seem to be mailing it in, bland and boring and for a long time too.

Right before they were going to start the 1812 overture, a thunderstorm moved in over the city. They evacuated everyone to the nearest tunnel.

BTW, I agree. The quality of the show has gone down over the years. I know it's the Pops, but the song selection could be better.
