And a star is born: Blame it on The Bossa Nova (1963)

 From The Ed Sullivan Show:

Karen Valentine made her first primetime appearance, one week after winning Miss Teenage America, and replicated her lip-sync of Eydie Gorme's cover of "Blame it on The Bossa Nova". Keep in mind that this was six years before Room 222 made Karen a household name. And here, she was just 16!

Are all of those facial contortions necessary?
