I watch the Kennedy Centers honor EVERY year. I used to set my VCR to record it and now it's on my DVR. In all of the years I've enjoyed this program I've never seen nor heard a more beautiful tribute to one of the honored recipients. Truly moving and breath taking. I replay this often to remind my self of the glory of harmony.

Er, I presume you mean Brian Wilson "The guy" the whole evening was about. And no he doesn't smile. He has a schizoaffective disorder, causing auditory hallucinations, depressions, bi-polar disorder etc... :-(

- Those little boys are sooo CUTE!! I think the Kennedy Center did a wonderful job honoring my hero. And what the hell is the big deal with Diana Ross handing Brian a beach ball? Why would someone get mad about that- she smiled at him the whole time she didn't mean anything bad by it im sure- I don't get it...

oh my, i'm much too late to comment! :-p

but anyways, i love each and every song that Tom had sung. i've been a die-hard libera fan because of him and i loved his distinctive voice! for some, he may not have sounded as perfect as his other live performances but man, he delivered! i think it was the (alto) lower voicing that irked me bec. it was too loud. who was it anyway?

mr. wilson must have been so proud to hear his own song being sung by a grandiose choir groups!

"Wispy" or "whispery" may be acceptable, even preferred, for some Libera voices, but not so much for Tom who has spoiled us to expect strong, clear, and well-modulated sounds from him. So, even tho' his "whispery" intro' on this song was not his norm, he was right on cue, in tune, in rhythm, and finished strong. Also some feel Libera didn't perform up to par. Considering the circumstances and audio glitches, they did very well. As someone said, "Cut the children some slack!". Congrat's Brian!

It still amazes me the beautiful music that comes out of this man who had to go through so much pain.
