And going back to the authenticity of the event. I don't know if it was staged or not. It certainly was arranged to happen. The question is was the girl an actor or just really overwhelmed. I don't know if the musicians were in on it or not?
But with four billion people in the world, (or is it five billion) and probably twice as many cell phone cameras in the world, anything can happen and everything does get caught on video.
