After almost every question, Kristin Chenoweth went on about how emotional it was for her to be in the midst of young artists and how they inspired her. What the Nasher audience also didn't get was Chenoweth singing, a cappella, "Popular" from Wicked when the students asked her if she'd grace us with her voice. She did this despite having bronchitis, which she has been Tweeting about for days. She also praised a Booker T. student who, before the panel took the stage, sang "For Good" from Wicked.

Booker T., where he'd spoken to about 400 students and dropped in on classrooms earlier in the day, is wonderful. "I wish I'd had that as a kid," Kevin Bacon said.
"Booker T. is on the world's artistic map."
