How do they omit all but the Murray State buzzer beater from the best opening day of the tournament that I can remember? No Jimmer highlights from BYU v. Any Cornell big upset shots (they snuck in a dunk and a Cornell player getting his shot blocked. First of all, they didn't sync a jump ball for the "the ball is tipped," not starting off on the right foot. Then came the highlights, err lack of highlights. Her rendition seemed to just miss the mark as well. Unlike Luther's version that was silky like Rip Hamilton in 1998 or Teddy Pendergrass' that had soul like the 1989 Wolverines, Hudson's version seemed forced and way to over the top. I don't have anything against Jennifer Hudson but like with Luther in 2003, CBS violated the face time rule and negatively impacted the basketball highlights. This year version of One Shining Moment turned out to be the biggest disaster in the entire One Shining Moment franchise. Apparently, they needed a new singer and an even newer direction. Last year's passing of Vandross however must have put CBS in a unnecessary conundrum. CBS recovered in 2004 and strung together five years of decent, not great, One Shining Moments. In 2003, when Luther Vandross took over for Pendergrass, they further detracted from One Shining Moment by giving Vandross face time over tourney highlights. In 2001 and 2002, CBS started getting fancy with technology, which directly took away from the highlights. Whether you preferred David Barrett or Teddy Pendergrass (my favorite), One Shining Moment's run from 1987-2000 was always solid. This is also where "the shot of the tournament" gets inserted.ġ2) "And when its done" must be the running on the court in celebration of a win followed by the look of victory and defeat for "win or lose."ġ3) The last chorus can only be Final Four highlights.ġ4) The final highlights must be synced to the drum beat as the song rhythmically moves to the end.ġ5) The climatic "One Shining Momeeeeeent" must be the play of the championship game or the end of the game followed by the championship celebration.Ĭlassic One Shining Moments like 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, and 1998 all successfully incorporated these 15 guidelines and capped of the NCAA Tournament the right way. There should be a huge and one dunk, a buzzer beater, and any seminal tournament moment.ġ1) The massive guitar solo should have some coaching reactions and as many important game highlights and dunks as possible. I particularly love the 1987 Bobby Cremins bowl cut, it hasn't changed in 20 years.ħ) During the first montage there has to be at least two dunks, one guy hanging his head, a team celebration, and at least one upset highlight.Ĩ) There has to be one huge flagrant foul somewhere in the highlight.ĩ) "Feel the beat of your heart" has to have a guy pounding his chest.ġ0) As the song builds up before the guitar solo. This will be a reoccurring theme.Ĥ) "Running for your life" generally should be someone diving for a loose ball or diving out of bounds.ĥ) "You're a shooting star" should either depict a three pointer going in or a big shot from an upset.Ħ) "In all those years" has to be a classic coach shot. 2) As the song starts the opening sequence shows a quick montage of the fans, bands, mascots, and slow motion close ups of players to put the highlight film in context.ģ) This is too obvious but during the "the ball is tipped" lyrics, the highlight should mirror the song by showing a jump ball (this isn't rocket surgery and yes I meant to say that).
