NFL '08 - Dramatic Interpretation: White People

[iKawaiiNinja]

i just joined speech team, i've only had one meeting with the group, the usual group leader wasn't even there, the next time we meet is at a competition and i don't even know the rules...

my answer: youtube. i didn't know what i was getting myself into when they asked what theme would i would like, i thought of something i was good at, something that wouldn't take to much work, so i chose dramatic, looking at this now, i'm actually inspired to do my best~ that's the power of the internet for you

[mizbel101]

Wow!! Excellent job!!!

[Rabiosachica]

That was amazing!

[MissNightmare23]

purly amazing i LOVED it.

very talented

[malrox234]

That was really good!!!!



[iceninja1231]

Holy Shit that was something

[MrPhantom4life]

This makes me hate to be white.. Very moving, GREAT job done

[sanoahlarocque15]

Amazing. Very well done. (:

[gunboguy]

I love this DI so much. This guy is SICK.

[Enieledam6]

Seeing speeches like this make me wish I was a boy all the time because I feel like for boys in speech there are so many more options as far as scripts go. Sort of makes me feel bad.

[GracetheZombie]

@Enieledam6 This is also a womans speech. It turns from his wife, to her sister. From him to her, I saw this brilliant girl do it. She was amazing.

[dino17692]

can you post battle of manilla from this year as well? if you have it?

[roxxyco05]

i can honestly watch this over and over again- and STILL get chills down my back. i love it. so good.

[MsTania66]

i was back stage i think when he was doing this? im glad it's up though haha

[OutOfTotalRandomness]

@orlmgc4ever The guy who talked about witches I believe he would have made second but was pushed down because his was 10:10

[ShikaNinja]

I think what lost him a spot in the top 3 was he didn't really transition after the end of his piece. He kind of just shoot his head, and at that level something as minute as that will cost big

[debatemaniac92]

This along with Letter to Harvey Mlik are my favorite dramatics of all time. Gosh, John is so talented and embodies his character so well!

[MarkCohenFilm]

How old was he when he performed this? He really pulls off the college professor character expertly. Its a great piece, and he performs it amazingly. Only thing i have is that his movement seems a bit excessive in spots and distracts from his words, but he can somehow get away with it because he does every single action with the utmost purpose and certainty, which is the key to a sharp performance. Excellent. Very enjoyable.

[zaccmiller]

I just had him as a judge two weeks ago! Well that's ironic!

[VioletWolf24]

...Oh....my god.

The audio was starting to hurt my ears but it just made me feel even more terrified when he was screaming.

[xXSpudmeister94Xx]

I suppose the crappy audio adds juxtaposition to this utterly awsome DI.

[tadiscool312]

This was fantastic! I think his oratory was better though.

[erinandwhitney]

it seems like he wasn't done at the end. but just like stopped. hmm.. still amazing though. I agree with 3rd place at least!!

[Rkor4]

Brilliant!  Wow... This makes me miss forensics... Great!

[artistica777wjp]

I have chills! I miss forensics so much. I wish my college had a team. This piece is so controversial. He was very tasteful is his approach & I commend him in taking on such a piece.

[bxsciencepofo]

wheres his 2009 one?



[bxsciencepofo]

wheres his 2009 one?

@orlmgc4ever Family Secrets

[tobago528]

Very dutch, very Calvinist, very.... "God is watching", you think of sex you die XD

[roxxyco05]

VERY moving. well done.

[hi0hi0hi0thisisty]

this is my favorite di ever!!!!!!!

[Cinemaxify]

This guy is fantastic. I normally am not one to really like DI, but he is inspirational. I see the category in a new light, and I wish him great success in the future.

[NaliniMarcasite]

...wow

[AgentAdams121]

I think this kid is incredible. I was moved by his performance.

[AirbagDeployed]

wow.  what a courageous piece.

[cjwithoutsound]

@orlmgc4ever I believe he was fourth. It was harvey milk, intimate terrorism, family secrets, white people, voices from chernobyl, battle of manilla. Personally, I thin he deserved 2nd or 3rd. I didn't care for family secrets at all.

[bubba1111111111]

You are a lucky man. You shook hands with a genius.

[eyeluvcandii]

That was so touching!!!!!

[bubba1111111111]

Isn't this the same guy who got 1st in Oratory at Nationals in 2009? If it is, do you have his oratory video?

[aro5006]

Indeed he is, it was called "Harvey and Jack" (I had the great honor of shaking his hand after a round).

[humptydumpty930]

He got 4th.

[MrsHalogen8]

he was sooo good i still dont understand why he didnt get 2nd or 3rd at the VERY least

[mopeded]

@MrsHalogen8 Yes, he did get third.
