I should have linked to this version of "Reflection."

Back here. It would have meant more.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The ovious misogynistic disparagement is that as with Palin (the beauty contestant) Brown, himself a Cosmo model, has progenied more showbiz contestants.

As with Harry Reid's comments about Obamas looks, this too will be redeemed and made official currency.; 1/21/10, 1:23 PM
lucid said...: You know, she seems like a normal, healthy, well-brought up young woman. A bit superficial and self-centered--as any good adolescent has every right to be. She has a lovely self-confidence and an obviously strong sense of connection to her family and friends. I think who she is speaks very well for how her parents have raised her and how present and supportive they have been inher life.; 1/21/10, 1:27 PM

alan markus said...: Interesting in this video of Kerry/Brown making a joint appearance that Ayla was mentioned several times - Brown started to say something about Ayla having a picture of John Kerry (before he could finish, Kerry started responding to a question), later John Kerry mentions biking with Ayla, and something about Ayla being a closet supporter of his.

MadisonMan said...: I didn't think the guy that Security took away last night on Idol had bad pitch to his singing voice, but oh my what wretched tone. I wonder why his family hadn't told him that -- he looked shocked -- SHOCKED -- to be told he had no voice.; 1/21/10, 1:45 PM
Trooper York said...: Maybe Scott Brown can get Kara a date. She needs one bad. Just sayn'; 1/21/10, 1:57 PM
MadisonMan said...: It looked like Kara wanted to date Kristen Chenoweth.; 1/21/10, 1:59 PM

Anonymous said...: "Mrs. Scott Brown" is Gail Huff, a well-respected Boston TV reporter. She metamorphosed from the babe in the music video into one of Channel 5's stable of long-tenure, local street reporters.

I always enjoyed seeing her clutching a microphone, reporting live from a triple-decker fire in Mattapan, or in a slicker in a driving rain, telling us about on flooding on the Lynnway.

I thought she was kind of hot in a MILF-sort-of-way, if you'll pardon that sexist acronym. But seeing her in her salad days as that pouty babe in the video, uh...excuse me, I think I'm going to have to find my nitroglycerine tablets. At my age, the heart can't stand the strain.; 1/21/10, 2:01 PM
traditionalguy said...: I'm with Lucid. Growing up in a caring family with parents expecting the best descisions out of a 21 year old is not a walk in the park. Hurray for Ayla for being such a good daughter.; 1/21/10, 2:08 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I should have linked to this version of "Reflection".. back here.

Althouse shows great resilience after a 'man made disaster', hinting she is ready to move on ;); 1/21/10, 2:30 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Btw there is a presidential streak going of sorts ..

Clinton, Bush 43 and now Obama all had daughters and daughters only.

Scott Brown only has daughters.

What? We can dream can't we?; 1/21/10, 2:43 PM
DADvocate said...: Played football. Wow! My son had a couple of girls play football on his team pre-high school, not kickers either. The girls' teammates may take it easy on them but their opponents won't. They don't always know there's a girl under that helmet and shoulder pads.

She sings quite well too.; 1/21/10, 2:44 PM
muddimo said...: Great comment by Lucid, I agree. The Brown's seem to have done a great job raising their girls and it's nice to see the easy relationship between Scott and his daughters.

Regarding Mrs. Brown's 80's video, I am happy to say that I never heard of Digney Fignus, although she looks cute as a button.; 1/21/10, 3:38 PM
Shanna said...: Looking at AI video's of Ayla earlier there was one with a quick clip of her playing football with her dad. It was cute. (I think this was the night she gets kicked off, but it's been a while since that season)

Beth said...: Seems like a nice enough young woman, but that music, and her voice, and her song stylings, were all excruciating. Awful. Unlistenable.; 1/21/10, 11:36 PM
Anonymous said...: Yes, Beth, I've heard her in person.
You've got it exactly. She's even more excruciating live.

I think this demonstrates her parents have been very encouraging. Too encouraging. She seems like another victim of the self-esteem movement.

I'm told by someone who coaches a team that's played against her, that she's one of the most talented woman basketball player he's seen.

More basketball. No music.; 1/22/10, 1:16 AM
Beth said...: She's even more excruciating live.

Oh, so sorry. And you can't get up and leave, like I could just hit "stop" on the video.

I am not a fan of this self-esteem in music movement. I went to a performance of my niece's well-respected college choir last week and was floored when the soloists peeled off from the risers and stepped up to a microphone. In a small room with good acoustics. Since when do singers not project? Only one guy stood well back from the mic, and he had a fine, resonant voice, as any of the others could have had, had they trained.; 1/22/10, 7:15 AM
