CMAT Gives A Charming, Theatrical Colbert Performance

On CMAT's big, soulful number "When A Good Man Cries," there's a part where the Irish quasi-country singer howls, "I hope that I pass and I get reborn." On Thursday night, CMAT appeared on Stephen Colbert's Late Show to sing that song. While delivering the word "reborn," she mimed out giving birth to a baby and then casually tossing the baby over her shoulder like it was garbage. This was a quick, offhand bit of stagecraft, a literal throwaway gesture, but it should tell you just about everything about CMAT that you might need to know.
