USC's Popular Music Class Assignment: Sing for Chaka Khan

Every week, the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music brings major recording artists and music industry leaders to a class called Popular Music Forum. On Oct. 17, multi-GRAMMY winning recording artist Chaka Khan came to campus, giving feedback to a handful of singers in the school's Popular Music program who were backed by bands of fellow students. Here's the story of three of the singers and how they did.

no comparison to the students at berklee. the students at berklee are out of the box and do very interesting things. i've always felt like usc gets its standing from the money the pours into the school.

Agreed, basic singers. I could trump all of these kids. I liked Celeste though.
