Haha I know, it just seemed funny. I was wondering why the reaction seemed so muted at first (I recognized her immediately and nearly fell off my couch), but it makes sense for people to wait until she actually spoke to show their love.danfrank wrote:Just to be clear, the audience's rousing ovation had nothing to do with Motown. Rather it was Michelle Obama's mere presence that had them going nuts. She had not been introduced, so the audience was waiting for her to speak to show their appreciation. It just so happened that "Motown" was among the first few words she spoke, at which point she needed to pause due to the incredibly loud ovation. She is perhaps the most beloved and respected figure in our country, and I think the audience of musicians was thrilled and honored that she came to pay respect to their craft.Franz Ferdinand wrote:Did anyone else watch the awards? I assume BAFTA's would have won out, as with Bradley Cooper, so on this board.
MICHELLE OBAMA. Her single utterance of "Motown..." brought the house down.
