When asked to "Say it ain't So, Yo!" Yo Yo Ma readily admitted the music was pre-recorded...he said that in 20 degree weather, tuning problems & mechanical difficulties with the piano would have made it sound like a bad American Idol audition...as a player of stringed instruments myself, I can vouch for the way temp extremes really can fuck up a performance, & while listening to it "live" my first thought was the clarinetist would end up with shredded lips if that reed iced up.

I heard that Aretha was not thrilled with her performance. All I know is that was one hell of a 'go-to meeting' hat:

Didn't see the hat, but I did catch the tail end of her singing...her self-critique was not wrong, I have to say I've heard much better from the Queen...if it was me, I'd blame that on the weather too...
