So glad to hear the scrapped this version. It really bugged me that Duke had to be the team that was stuck with this "experiment".

Tough to blame Jennifer Hudson for the CBS putting cameras on her and including studio footage in the "One Shining Moment" montage when every breathing creature on the planet wanted to see basketball instead. That's just network incompetence, and someone should have released Zombie Billy Packer on the people behind that decision.

I've been thinking about "One Shining Moment" the past few weeks and I think they should make this year's version entirely out of defensive plays. Kenneth Faried's block. Dalton Pepper's three consecutive steals. Stuff like that. Some may find that strange, but there's enough material this year to make it the best one yet.

Agreed. She actually sang the song as well as anybody. But the decision to focus the video on her singing the song was just boneheaded.

Yea, thank God they got rid of the Jennifer Hudson version. I understand they are going back to the Luther Vandross version for this year's tournament, but I still think the best version was the late, great Teddy Pendergast - that man had "soul" and what an emotive voice !!!

Here is last year's video with Teddy doing the singing:

Gives me goosebumps to listen to it and watch it

I'm kind of mad at this, but only in a "misery loves company" kind of way. Now we're the only ones stuck with the Hudson version forever. I didn't even mind the song so much, as it has evolved to match the era with each version, but I can't get over the shots of her inserted.

while i disagree on the merits of 'one shining moment,' i offer you a symbolic internet fist bump + explode for suggesting sledgehammer. such a change would alter the landscape of college athletics forever.
