Reprise


The video is 3 minutes long but if you can watch all of it you'll be rewarded with an encore piano performance, tambourine thrashing, more piano using various limbs, and a little jig at the end. Auntie Snorg's wish to have Addie train for SYTYCD has come true. I love this video because I think it shows Addie intently doing something I've never been able to do - play a musical instrument. Her piano playing at times on this video seems inspired by a deeper muse. This gene she gets from her Dada.

Yep, definitely a combination of Beethoven and Jerry Lee Lewis. On a Dick Cavett show I saw, Jerry Lee and Dick weren't getting along so after his number Jerry climbed up and stood on the Steinway.

She's mesmerizing and scary smart. Katie bar the door! We love every musical and dancing inch of her since she didn't get these genes from this side of the family. We expect her to take the show on the road. We'll tune up the organ for Christmas.

That is an absolutely astounding tour de force. I had to wait until I got home to watch it - great anticipation and greater reward. I don't think I could ever move my feet that well. Most of all, I delight in the pleasure Addie takes in what she is doing. There are moments of pure intent, and pure delight. Thank you Janice for such a wonderful gift!

America's Got Talent has a serious contender in the making! She can dance, She can play the piano - and with both her hands AND fee! She is a one woman band! i love it! Good Warbling Pone Man, i think Addie just needs to get used to having back-up singers!
