Wow... Sarah Palin Sucks. At. Everything... I've been playing about 3 years, about to be a freshman in high school... Could totally play this better than her, She lacked Vibrato and it sounded like a 7th grader was playing, plus her breathing was mbleh...
Haters gonna hate. All of ya'll that are berating her for being a below average flute player are completely missing the point: at least she's not talking. The less she talks the better her chances of being elected president in 2012, and what a victory for the comedy community that would be.
What Sarah? How's that "Hopey, Changey thing" treatin' me? The death of DADT = REAL CHANGE! Extension of unemployment benefits = REAL HOPE FOR MILLIONS! The passage of NEW START = REAL HOPE FOR THE WORLD! Help for the 9/11 HEROES = BASIC GRATITUDE! Etc, etc, etc......Obama has fulfilled 85% of his campaign promises. So Sarah, go change some diapers and hope for a job!
So what. Just because one plays for 10 years doesn't mean they'll be great at it. Many Americans have become such petty little jerks over the years. (ie: Mr 32 years should know better. shame)
Wow... she's sharp on the high notes and probably flat on the low notes even though we can't hear them. Not sure that what she does for a day job now is any better, though...
What a joke! I have been a school band director for 32 years and most of my middle school students can play better in tune than this! Is she being accompanied by the local 6th grade band?
as for whether she or obama would make a better president-- I ain't got much to say. Except that she'd probably be the first president to whip this country into serious shape, if you know what I mean. She'd be the now type. Obama takes too freaking long to get anything done.
hhhmmm, she doesn't seem to even have enough air for a flute, but I always imagined her playing the tuba.... I think she should have done the rock guitar patent instead.
it sounds like she might have played some parts of the background recording too. She was anticipating the part of the competition where she could just strut around showing off her bod! It is so much to expect a girl to have brains and any talent too!
Ummm? Let me see if I understand this correctly. The quality of the digital camera used for this clip is responsible for the distorted sound. I guess that means that the quality of the microphone is responsible for the distorted video. It's the camera's fault that she played out of tune. I think I've got it now!
i have been playing the flute for 3 years and am a freshman in high school. that may not sound like much, but i am playing advanced college level music and know alot about the flute, and in my opinion, sarah doesnt seem to know what shes doing too well. her finger position is awkward and so is her embouchure, which is why her tone is annoying and pinched....
Her tone is just fine. I am also an advanced flutist, having played flute for 6 years (going on 7). I will be a sophmore in high school. Her finger position is perfect, and her embouchure is also fine. Camera's that have the quality of that camera distort the sound of a flute. If a note is the slightest bit out of tune, the camera brings it out. My digital camera is the same way.
@AaRonFLAUTIST842 You don't need to be a great flutist to hear she sucked. For ten years of investment, she should have been ashamed. You can just listen to her tone, her intonation, and even her technique within the first ten seconds to know that she sucked.
And I didn't need to brag about my accomplishments to be able to make that judgment sound credible, did I? :-p
She is a very accomplished flute player. I'm sure those years of practice on the skin flute on her way to the top built up her abilities. WHAT A GREAT WOMAN!
she didn't come in early, and at 2:05 it wasn't her fault. I know how hard it is to play low notes like that perfectly in tune, and what if the back up band was out of tune, and her flute was fine? then it wasn't her...
Whose fault is it then? The backing track/band of professional musicians who she hired? Couldn't be her, of course not!! She's a virtuoso flautist! Her interpretation of Mozart's Flute Concerto no. 2 was incredible.
But seriously, the only thing she learned from flute was how to blow. Hard. She was probably too busy killing wolves and moose to rehearse. You know. Making a positive impact on the world.
Hey, all I am saying is that it could have been the back up band. It could have been her out of tune, but who knows. Low notes are very hard to play in tune on a flute, and to play them loud enough, you have to blow harder, which makes them more out of tune. (and I know this because I am an advanced flautist for my age).
And by the way, she is making a positive impact on the world, most people who are against her are just too blind to see it!! So, I don't need your sarcasm!
Well, she is a positive impact on parents, because when she found out her daughter was pregnant, she still showed unconditional love for her, and even though her baby had down syndrome, she didn't have an abortion. I think teens can look up to her and her daughter, because of their actions.
And in 2012, I hope she runs for President, because she will do a whole lot better than the idiot we have in the office now!
Loving your children is a great quality. However, I just fail to see how having babies changes the world, or sets her apart from any other woman on this planet that is able to have kids. Is it really just because she's a woman and is against abortion, and christian of course, that you like her?
As far as our President Obama, he is no idiot. He's a great man who really genuinely cares and has a lot of great ideas for this nation. You have got a lot of learning to do.
Actually you're the one who has some learning to do. By raising government spending, taxes for ALL people go up, which is what Obama is doing. John McCain and Sarah Palin wanted to lower government spending, which in turn lower taxes. And for the government controlling our health care, that is stupid. Some people who don't want health care will be forced to get it. And no, I don't like Sarah just because she is a woman, a Christian, and she is against abortion. I love everything she stands for.
Uh, the tax increases would be for the wealthiest americans, not all. Ergo, taxes for all people wouldn't go up.
And why would somebody NOT want healthcare? Do you have any idea how much people have to pay to get healthcare who aren't so lucky to have it through an employer?? I'm spending an average of 260 a month on healthcare, and I'm a "healthy" young adult. It's a lot more for other people, and those with families. Do you think that's easy for the poor people of this country??
I hope you did not feel obligated to sit through and listen to her complete performance. She might want to instill some of those good Christian values on her children.
Why would you know if you're an advanced 'flautist' (flautist is the incorrect term if you native tongue is english, by the way,) for your age? Does that make you somehow informed? And blowing harder doesn't help you at all, just to let you know.
i was raised jewish, i have friends raised hindu, muslim, buddhist and athiest and they all know the same shit about not stealing and lying and all that stuff
it has nothing to do with religion
in fact if you believe you have to do something to please god and not because it is inherently the right thing to do then you are evil
Oh my god... SHE SUCKS! i mean... TEN YEARS?! seriously? it sounds like she hadn't even figured out vibrato yet. i mean, come on! the accompaniment is ten times better than her, but then again it's easy to be ten times better than that.
I'm sorry, but she not good at all. And the announcer said she'd been playing for ten years at this point. That's just embarrassing. I hate being mean, but jeez...she's really awful.
With all due respect, they are all out of tune, and, it's like sour milk. But, don't worry, Sara, don't look back, don't put blame, just keep moving forward!
The look in her eyes cracks me up.
