半岛体育 columnist and music director extraordinaire Seth Rudetsky is back with his signature Deconstructions, breaking down the performances he is obsessed with and why they are impressive.
Here, Rudetsky puts Ana Gasteyer鈥檚 rendition of 鈥淥ne Mint Julep鈥� from her I'm Hip album, under the microscope. 鈥淚鈥檓 calling this basically secret high notes, not secret because you don鈥檛 hear them because you can鈥檛 believe how high they are,鈥� Rudetsky says in the video above. 鈥淭hey just sound like amazing notes ... and then you play them on the piano and you鈥檙e like, 鈥榃hat?! What鈥檚 happening?鈥欌€�
From the jazzy syncopation to Gasteyer鈥檚 riffs, vibrato, comedic lyric readings, and her nod to her time in Wicked, Rudetsky gives viewers all the reasons to be awed by her belt.
