Chantal Claret, Age 9 on The Oprah Winfrey Show

This is why Little Baby Jesus invented YouTube, so we can post precious video like this. As you know, Chantal Claret is the lead singer of Morningwood. As it turns out, she was the focus of this report done by Dame Oprah Winfrey, that profiled the state of the nine-year old child. "We've seen nine-years olds struggling with violence, abuse, divorce, foster homes, homeless, unraveling Fruit Roll-ups."

This clip works on so many levels. Even if I didn't know Chantal, there's plenty to soak in. One, the music that plays through the whole piece -- so melodramatic. The series of cuts about what she likes, "I've read books on Egypt ... My favorite opera is Die Fledermaus ... I've been to France and Dallas ... I like blood" mixed with that cornball music had my laughing hard. DOOOOOO DOOOOOOO DOOOOOOOO. HA! Oprah comes off as so pretentious in this clip. America, Oprah cares about Chantal.

Now fast forward to today. Here's Chantal as we know her. I'd like to see this on Oprah.
