08/04/2004 Entry: "Ms. Kristie Krabe - a delight to hear and see"

One of Our Skate, Skate, Skaters
On Tuesday Evening – August 3, 2004
Featuring Ms. Kristie Krabe

APRR’s Kristie Krabe had made the finals for the Georgia “Give Me The Mike” singing contest. She gave an absolute and perfect stellar performance. Most of us have learned that Ms. Krabe is by far worthy of Broadway! And after hearing her this Tuesday evening – and witnessing the complete naturalness of her performance – for me – she IS Broadway! There is truly nothing more I can say about Ms. Krabe. You simply must hear and see her sing.

As seen on Atlanta’s WSB – Channel 2 TV.

Finalists Thelma Isaac, Jayron Weaver, and Kristie.

Although Kristie placed third (a mere one point behind Jayron and only
two points behind Thelma, who placed first overall, it didn’t so much matter
to me. Because to me, and to so many thousands of others, Kristie was
THE winner. And she had placed first within so many hearts. Kristie, nor
anyone else, could have done much about a single judge’s ridiculously low
given score, which neither reflected Kristie, her performance, or the ratings
provided by the other three judges.

But here’s the clincher: Kristie’s super human and staunchly professional
reaction to that first judge’s below humanistic score - - No words can
describe - - You simply had to have witnessed this total beauty of Kristie.
