oh, I would have been totally embarrassed. I don't like attention on me unless I prepared for it. I had a significant career on the stage, but I was once thrown a suprise party and I left crying. lol.
As to the tear thing I don't know. What got me each time was how many people WANTED to be a part of her experience. When they showed up with the computers? That's where I lost it. I guess it was just all the love people had for her more than the song or performance.
