This Is What Negative Stage Presence Looks Like

After seeing this public access karaoke rendition of "Go Tell It On The Mountain" by two ladies who may or may not even still be alive, I'm going to think twice before judging Britney Spears for going through the motions. Henrietta and Merna, RIP, maybe:

Also, please note that they live in the flowers. (Via Fey Friends, who suspect that the women are being threatened by an unseen gunman.)

what

Henrietta and Myrna look like the kind of women who get up in front of my Granny's church every Sunday for the "Special Music," but with even more stage presence than the residents of Jumbo, Oklahoma.

Does this video signify the existence or non-existence of the religious deity about whom they are singing? I vote "existence," although you could make a case either way.

The person who produced this video definitely just took video editing 101 and learned how to use the "zoom and crossfade" as a "nifty" transition.

In order of greatness:
1. that funky slap bass
2. "I wish you a merry christmas, a blessed christmas,and most of all a happy christmas."
3. awkward ending as the song fades out and they continue singing.

The hot little minx on the right would look great chained to a radiator.
