WRONG KEY.
If this were your three year old daughter you would laugh but be proud at the same time. Why? Because you’d know that she was just starting out playing the trumpet. There would be no misunderstanding in the crowd either because the age is obvious.
This crowd pleaser (I was laughing) may have just started learning the instrument and/or she was just not very skillful at it. Either way, we laugh again. However, there may be a change from when we laughed at a three-year old than with a 23 year-old. In the former there was love; in the latter, a pernicious feeling may have entered the picture, namely, hatred and ridicule. People may not only be laughing from the performance but may be laughing @ the performer.
The woman in the beauty pagent has brought laughter to the world. Yeah, she’s not a great trumpet player but she had the power to make people laugh, and in turn, ease the suffering of a miserable world.

WOW! All that from a viral video!! Maybe I should sing off-key and cure world hunger!
I want my 2:53 back. What an absurdity. A beginner trumpet player in a grade school talent show would be better.
This was an interesting mix of themes. Few people would be able to make the subtle connection between Charlie Chaplin and Star Wars, and yet she makes it seem so natural.
This video also provides at least one answer to the question, “How do you fill a couple of minutes in the talent portion of the competition when you have no actual talent?”
Clearly she’s not a skilled trumpeter, but just as clearly the accompanying music is simply in the wrong key.
Thanks! You just stole 3 minutes of my life that I can never get back.
🙁
She sucks so good.
(Note to self: don’t eat when watching unknown YouTube videos!)
I literally sprayed cereal all over my computer when I first saw this.
They are both in the wrong key.
There has never been a better case made for abortion.
That REALLY hurt my ears… OUCH!
I bet she won the swimsuit competition.Blondes have more fun!
#12 I wonder if she wore a Princess Leah bikini?
oh, ok. the initial posting of this made me thing someone thought this was ‘AWSOME”
I didn’t know they had trumpet-playing female Wookies in Douglas, Arizona! RRRAAAAAARRRRR!!!!
I’m ashamed to admit I watched the whole thing, just knowing the good part was coming. I know we lost three minutes, but this thing looked rehearsed, so somebody lost a whole lot more time than us.
