One Shining Moment 2010

Here is the montage done at the end of every NCAA Tournament on CBS dating back to 1987. It’s One Shining Moment and this year sung by Jennifer Hudson. I found it quite strange that CBS showed a lot of her in the montage. They didn’t do that with composer David Barrett, Luther Vandross or Teddy Pendergrass. I don’t know if Jennifer wrote appearances into the contract, but we missed out on a few scenes like Ohio’s upset of Georgetown or some vintage Gus Johnson moments. And I have no idea what was going on at the end. Overall, I’m a bit disappointed in Jennifer’s rendition. As much as I like her, I’ll have to request that CBS not use her next year if it regains the rights to the NCAA Tournament. Anyway, here’s the montage.

And just three or four scenes from tonight’s Championship Game? Usually, there are more than that. I’m quite down on this year’s version.
