DonMeixner, I don't understand what you mean when when you mix the terms performance, professional and prepared!

Perhaps, like me, Maura O'Connell was ok with the tune but not so confident with the lyrics; so what's so wrong with having a page on the floor to make sure she didn't stumble?

That's being professional and prepared to ensure they gave a good performance.

Come on bud, give her a break.
