** There has ''got'' to be a trope for someone like her. Someone who looks all sweet, clueless, and dorky and not very interesting, and then ''bam'' they do something that totally '''''WTFPWN'''''s everyone in sight. CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass, perhaps? Certainly no one will ever underestimate her again. Talk about not judging a book by its cover! And she knew ''precisely'' what was going to happen. That little smirk on her face right before she opens her mouth to sing is just screaming, "I am going to blow these suckers' minds, and it is going to feel ''damn good''." You go, girl!
** She got a standing ovation ''twenty seconds after she started singing.'' Twenty seconds, and she's already proven herself to the world. Damn.
