In my analysis of the “I’ve Got a Crush … on Obama” video, I haven’t been too kind to Hillary Clinton’s idea of having a “Choose Our Campaign Song” contest. It seems simultaneously a desperate attempt at online relevancy and considering the final choice of songs, a fairly lame attempt to appease a diverse audience.

But I must give Hillary some props for spoofing the final scene in “The Sopranos” to introduce (or almost introduce) the winner of the contest. The video, which includes a great cameo from Bill, does way more than any song could do to show her smarts and self-confidence — not to mention her fluency with the pop culture moment.

But all that might be for naught when America realizes that the winner ends up being … a Canadian?

That overshadows the fact that the song itself, in Steve Johnson’s words, “sounds at once inorganic and schmaltzy, and the lyrics are the sort of vaguely life-affirming stuff that even Hallmark tries to avoid these days.”

Update: Celine Dion is “thrilled” and “flattered.” Canada.com — no joke — has a nice wrap-up of the contest..
