Posted: 9/8/06 at 10:27pmI was listening to Her lastest album and especially the song, "Listen" from the movie version coming of "Dreamgirls" and I reckon she would have the mean chops to tear Eplhies'song up biatch! lol. seriously her voice is amazing, maybe even if she just did a concert version....I'd be interested to hear everyones' critisim, le them flow and who thinks it may work? after all it is a very diva-pop score (-:

Thank you...Very Much.
Awkward Silence
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Posted: 9/8/06 at 10:46pmWow, I think old BWWers are getting soft. Anywho, I've never heard her REALLY belt anything. If I hear her do that then I might totally agree with you.
I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

Posted: 9/8/06 at 11:03pmYes. I do. It was pretty bad. (Particularly hearing her flounder on the French song...)

Rotel1026: "Paris is good but how about Britney as Glinda instead?"
Britney is pushing it...she won't be able to do "Popular" with that accent. But Paris may have problems getting rid of "like" and "that's hot" in her vocabulary...which means, she may accidentally add that to her dialogue. Yikes.

ALW and his close cousin the wrinkled Persian monkey on the piano. Fake Phantom guy on staircase. $8,000,000,000 worth of mascara and jewelry on Beyonce. Priceless.
And you could tell the Phantom cast was thrilled that a star unrelated to the film was singing.
