I was watching a news clip today of the Tiawanese equivilent of American Idol and they showed a 24 yr old young fella from Taiwan who sounded so much like Whitney that it was uncanny.Apparently it's on Youtube and has over 300,000 hits already.He even nailed the very high notes,I wonder if he had Vise-Grips clamped on something to be able to do it.

I hate Witt-less Useless.

Every note is warbled and she never goes straight to them, she always starts very slightly flat then raises pitch.

I haven't watched yet. Is it damaging? Not watching if there is a post traumatic whatever, is it a virus?
