One I liked was the Glantaf Boys Choir from Wales. They were excellent, and it made me wonder why we don't have this kind of all-male boy choir here. We do have choruses and choirs, but they are almost always mixed. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a different cultural tradition and it's special to see and hear an all-male choir perform. What really caught my attention, though, was KSI. I had never heard of him until this year's BGT, but he seems to be famous in the UK. He connected with the boys instantly, and their reaction was so funny. They immediately understood what he meant, so I had to look it up. Since I don't use TikTok, I discovered it was a TikTok meme and that's why I had never heard of it. Here it is, watch the interaction. They get the joke right away, and the whole group visibly relaxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg-uGKMcOpE I like that a little internet meme can create that moment of connection. #entertainment #music p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.95em; font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #0c5c35; line-height: 1.8;" span class="tinylytics_kudos"/span 💬 a href="https://remark.as/p/michaelmitchell.blog/memes-connect-us-i-guess"Discuss.../a a href="mailto:michaelm2@michaelmitchell.blog" style="color:#0c5c35;text-decoration:none"✉️ Email/a 🦣 a href="https://writing.exchange/@michaelm2" rel="me" style="color: #0c5c35; text-decoration: none;"Reply on Mastodon/a /p !--emailsub--]]> I usually watch BGT (Britain's Got Talent) clips on YouTube because the British often have really interesting acts.
