If you watch NBC’s This Is Us, you might recognize the phrase, “You’re Pittsburgh good.” The words sum up a record producer’s take on Rebecca Pearson’s singing talent. Like most viewers, I lamented into my TV, “Come on, she’s way better than that! I’m a fan. I’d buy her record!”
Of course, no matter how beautifully Rebecca sings, this is her fate. If the record producer gushes and gets Rebecca a gig at the Troubadour… Well, that’s an entirely different show. To avoid the plot twist, she’s dubbed “Pittsburgh good.”
