Bundy’s Bum Note

It’s a slow news week for Broadway, so I thought I’d share one of my favorite YouTubes: Laura Bell Bundy straining through the last few bars of “So Much Better” at Time Square’s Virgin Megastore.

What I love, love, LOVE about this video is, not only is she under-pitch on the last note, but she takes a breath halfway-through, only to return to the bum note!

Remember MTV’s search for the next Elle Woods and the fuss that was made over being able to hold that last note?  M’hmmm…  Save for Legally Blonde’s cast recording, I don’t think Bundy’s ever not taken a breath mid-note.  I can’t help but love her though.  And her lack of breath control.  Presh!

Sidenote and completely random, but does anyone else think Bernard Telsey looks like The Penguin from Batman Returns?
