She’s not new to me but watching this performance tonight confirms what the critics and even the skeptics say: She’s all that. It’s like she’s dancing up there, dancing like The Wild Thing but not that wild that she becomes annoying.
Here she is looking for a cue from the conductor, Temerkinov, who has barely cast her a glance this whole first movement of Rachmaninoff’s 2nd Concerto, said to be a gift from Freud.
Yuja Wang: Rock Star
Everybody looks like everybody. Watching this video I think the conductor looks like Chuck Schumer, one of the violinists looks like Henry Blodgett, the cembalo player looks like a woman I knew named Emily, the oboist looks like a 12-year old version of a voiceover artist I used to know…
Oh, and one of the violists, who has a huge zit on her torso and looks like Jennifer Connelly, looks in her strapless top like she is naked when she holds her instrument a certain way.
Everybody looks like Dick Clark eventually.
Yuja Wang is UNSPEAKABLY HOT but I don’t like how the camera crew tries to milk her body the way they do. Cute age spot or birthmark or whatever it is called on her back, so I gained that edification in addition to revisiting this concerto I used to sorta-kinda be able to play.
What is the meaning of the bracelet she is wearing? In high school I was scolded for wearing such a thing, though I admit that it was even more flamboyant.
I know, I know. It is IMPROPER to have carnal thoughts. I’ll get over it. When I die. Which could have been today. Seriously. I am still waking up at 9:49pm.
