Zion's 'Klutzy Carusos'
Culture critic Mo Rocca argues that Mormons are better at singing than other Christians. The final proof, he says, came on American Idol this week, when David Archuleta and Brooke White took top positions.This day was a day that was never supposed to come. Indeed for the first few seasons of Idol the idea of an openly Mormon Top Ten finalist was simply unfathomable.
Here's Rocca's reasons Mormons sing so well:
- They don't smoke. (I love Bonnie Tyler as much as anyone, but raspy-voiced singers spend their careers swimming upstream.)
- They don't drink alcohol or caffeine.
- They have large families that sing together at home and in tabernacle choirs.
- They live at high altitudes. Because they're used to thin air, their breath control is unrivaled.
- They don't dance.

Can't dance?
I thought Julianne Hough and her brother had just pretty much beat everyone else on "Dancing with the Stars" lately. Didn't a girl from Utah recently win "So you Think You Can Dance" last season? Didn't they have a bunch of lcoal dancers in High School Muscial? Every time I open the paper there is another story about some Utah kid who is winning on some dance show.
Mo...please, get a haircut, a real job and a clue.
