A Problem with Music

Lots of people say, "I love music."
I'm not one of those people, but I do have opinions on music.

Lea Ann Miller, former professional figure skater, choreographer, and Olympian, was successful with her choreography because she was able to not only skate to the music, but skate with the emotion of the song.
In the same way music should be sung with the proper emotion.

The song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" helps highlight this. It's easy to sing this song. Sing the notes. Sing the tune. But to sing it right, to sing it correctly, you need to sing the emotion.

It's a duet where the girl is focused off in the distance singing, almost to herself, how she needs to get home, while the guy is singing directly to the girl, doing is best to convince her to stay there, in his nice warm home, for the night.

So, please, sing it right.
