Why English Diction is Important

So, I am taking English Diction from Dr Robert Page at CMU. I am having such a blast. That is probably why I find this failblog post so funny.

Here is the video:

Here is Mariah Carey performing that song (“Without You” not “Ken Lee”)

(The actual lyrics are in the Inspirational Quote)

And so there are two lessons.

1) You should always sing with good diction, because you don’t know who is going totry to learn a piece from your recording of it.

2) When learning a song phonetically, check you pronunciation.

Inspirational Quote:

“Without You”
No I cant forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I cant forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now its only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I cant live
If living is without you
I cant live
I cant give anymore
I cant live
If living is without you
I cant give
I cant give anymore

Well I cant forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I cant live
If living is without you
I cant live
I cant give any more
I cant live
If living is without you
I cant give
I cant give anymore
