"Drops of Jupiter"

So.

The last week of school was Eldest's talent show. Eldest performed twice.

The video camera I had was unreliable, and my attempts to film his first act failed. And I had to get back to work. Fortunately, I work at the same school.

So I was able to run back to the theater after an event in the Upper School just as Alex was taking the stage to sing. And this time, the camera worked! I got the whole song on video. Hooray!

A week or so later, we babysat for our niece and nephew. And the niece was being sooooo cute with our dog! You should have seen her. Oh wait! You can! I grabbed the video camera. Quick! It's a baby and a dog! This could end any minute. No time to check the tape! Of course it is cued up and ready!

I filmed it! I got it!

And I filmed right over Eldest's song.

So, the video here is every single frame that remains of Eldest singing "Drops of Jupiter" in the talent show, and some of the video I made while destroying the record of that particular memory (with some extra video from later in the day, too.)

Four minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Would contain outstanding vocal performance, but doesn't. Does contain dangerously infectious pop music, gratuitous cuteness (baby, toddler, youngster, tween, and dog), and some serious anti-hygenic ickiness the likes of which some may find disturbing, especially those who asked us to babysit, which might teach them a lesson but we hope not.

edit: video removed from Google video, probably cuz I used a copywritten song.
