![]() ![]() 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. ![]() Other artists who have lent their voice to the song include Teddy Pendergrass and song composer David Barrett.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). In 2010, the version sung by Vandross, who died in 2005, was replaced by one from Jennifer Hudson, whose rendition was criticized so much that it hasn't appeared again since. The news that Turner, which is broadcasting the championship game for the first time as part of its split TV rights deal with CBS, would consider replacing Vandross was met with mixed reviews on social media. "It also presented the perfect opportunity to re-record this legendary song for our innovative Team Stream coverage." "Along with our partners at CBS, we wanted to pay special tribute to the iconic 'One Shining Moment' anthem this year, as we celebrate its ," Craig Barry, executive vice president and chief content officer for Turner Sports, said in a statement. The Vandross version, which has been used for 12 of the past 13 tournaments, will air at the conclusion of the main broadcast on TBS. His version, however, will air on its team stream broadcasts on TNT and TruTV. The network said Friday that Ne-Yo has recorded his own version of the iconic song, which has been the music to the tournament-ending montage since 1987. Days after a Turner executive revealed that there would be a new singer for "One Shining Moment," the network clarified that it would not replace the version of the song recorded by the late Luther Vandross at the conclusion of the NCAA men's basketball tournament on Monday night. ![]()
