Already she inspired others, for example:

I have sometimes wondered what it would sound like if someone put together a pastiche in the style of Charles Ives on Star Spangled Banner for prepared vocalist and well tempered piano. I guess this would qualify.

Interesting.

Some nice jazz chords in there.

I gave in and listened.

Ugh.

[Doctor Phibes]

That poor girl.

[jon-nyc]

I know, I feel sorry for her. But then again, no publicity is bad publicity, right?

[Renauda]

So long as she didn't follow a kid or animal act, she'll do just fine.

Best one so far!

I do feel really badly for her. She’s just a college freshman, I think. Her voice is pretty nice when it stays on key. Wonder if she’s ok singing with an accompanist.

[jon-nyc]

That would be my guess, that's she's just not an a Capella singer.

[jodi]

And if that’s the case, why the heck didn’t she have an accompanist. I mean seriously, why didn’t somebody tell her she needed an accompanist? If she were my kid I would have said, honey you sing WAY better with music.

Eff that! She was the most talked about person on the internet for a good hour or so. Everyone and their mother knows how to capitalize on that. Turning this into an attention windfall on the socialz would be the easiest thing in the world.

That may have been the case but the conference organizers overall goal was to spend as little money as possible on the event and saw an opportunity to cut costs and veto the accompanist. Afterall, we are dealing with a culture of frugal bean counters here.

If you are given lemons, you make lemonade. Just brilliant.

Brava! Ms. Sabol's one performance is inspiring so many other great performances and no doubt also educating many music theory students and music geeks alike, not to mention also binging much fun and joy to the Internet.
