I'm not sure what to make of this.
You can see the girls performing this banned work on YouTube here:

The girls sing well when they actually sing, but this is one of the stranger performances I've seen.

They were going to sing the names of “They who must not be named.”

Perhaps the girls were being critical of “Hitler and Mussolini to Quisling, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, Tito, Maria Antoinette and Papa Doc.”
This is the UN, after all.

If your dream is to sing in front of the UN, then you really need to dream a little bigger.

“Quisling” was the Norwegian equal of Benedict Arnold.
They certainly know about traitors.

I haven’t checked it out yet, but the moment I saw “award winning” I knew it would be weird.
Nowadays if it’s pretty or nice, it’s mundane. To be “award winning” in the arts nowadays, you have to be elitist, strange, and usually self-serving. (It’s my ART!)

...infamous tyrants from Hitler and Mussolini to Quisling, Stalin, Lenin, Castro,
Wait a minute, did they say Castro? Castro? CASTRO, The hero of the liberal left, compared with Hitler? Well, that won't do.

They were singing a list of famous Left Wing democidal maniacs, and the UN censored it. Wow.
Don’t know what Marie Antoinette is doing on that list though. Where’s Robespierre and the architects of the Vendee massacre?

the choir shrieked out the names of infamous tyrants from Hitler and Mussolini to Quisling, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, Tito, Maria Antoinette and Papa Doc.I'm just shocked they didn't throw Bush into that list.

That is just what I was thinking. What in the world is Marie Antoinette doing on that list. I doubt if she ever had a single person executed. She might have been ignorant of what was going on but I doubt she had the power to do anything about it even if she was not.

The UN should be included in any list of the world’s worst tyrants.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I am.
Many of the despots named are actually revered at the United Nations.

Very strange performance...
I could not understand most of what they were saying but in the middle the girl says something about the tyrant erasing the past and making the humans androgynous. At the end when they turn their backs and start calling out names, I could only recognize pol pot and stalin.

If ever a woman with no power no influence was given a bum rap by history - it was Marie Antoinette. She was basically hated for being a foreigner “Autre-chienne”- that foreign b*tch - for having nice things bought FOR HER with money she had no control over (the diamond necklace incident) - and being the wife of a despised monarch who was about to have his head cut off - and her as well.
I can see why the French Revolution needed to make her out to be everything she was not - but do we still need to buy their propaganda.
I am as anti-Royalist as they come - but really.
And she never did say “let them eat cake” - that particular smear was used before she ever came to France on a different target.
