It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Paul - my wife agrees with you. . .

The idea that there is a right or wrong way to play a jazz standard is completely against the basic principles of jazz. Just look up Tea for Two on Youtube. You will see dozens of different variations with a wide variety of rhythms and phrasings.

If someone doesn't like Yuja Wang's interpretation that is fine but to compare it with a garden variety junior high school piano student or to say it is rhythmically "wrong" smacks of pretentiousness without substance or real musical knowledge.
