Well if nothing else Kelly could hit the notes and as far as acting it seems unfair to write her off, did she ever really have a chance with From Justin To Kelly? Updated On: 3/21/05 at 05:12 PM

I agree with Josh Groban... as anything on Broadway. {Well, maybe not in RENT}

But I dont' know if this shows you anything... but he did do a one day special on Broadway {I think it was the Actor's Fund day} where he performed CHESS with Adam, Sutton, and other Broadway Stars

Honestly I would love to see Kelly sing Elphaba. I would also like to see Mandy Moore as Leisle in "The Sound of Music" I think that Justin Timberlake would be awsome in Naked boys singing, but then again that may just be because he is freaking hott. Yes hot with two t's hot.

Josh Groban technically isn't a pop star, so

NO POP STARS... while there are some small exceptions, the majority should never step foot on Broadway

"Are you guys serious about Kelly Clarkson in Wicked? I think she's great, but I'm surprised to hear her name mentioned here. She barely gets any respect in the pop music world"

So? What does that mean? She's an extraordinary talent, and whether or not the "pop music world" pays her respect or not means nothing as far as my opinion of her talent.

For those of you basing her acting abilities off of From Justin to Kelly, I doubt any actress could do much with that movie. Not that I'm making excuses, she could very well be a horribe actress no matter what, and that would be a shame. She was quite funny in the one or two skits she was in on SNL though. *shrug*

I could see her as Elphaba, but the reason I mentioned her as Maureen in Rent was because--if you've ever seen her perform live--you can tell she just comes alive with the music and does a great job of acting a song (see: "Stuff Like That There"). I think she has potential.

Brittany Murphy isn't really a pop star, but she'd be one kick ass Maureen.

I could definitely see Kelly as Elphaba, but I'd rather see how Aguilera did in that part.

Just a random thought: What about Gwen Stefani as Eva Peron? If Madonna can do it...

I would acctually like to see Kelly Clarkson as Julie in "Carousel"

But her acting is horrendous, and Julie is a Big time dramatic role.

Whoever said Gwen Stefani--she sounds great recorded, but I've seen numerous performances she did on TV--Grammy's and various other awards shows--and she's awful. totally disappointed me, I got the definete impression she can't sing at all.

I think Clay Aiken would be great on Broadway. He started off on American Idol with the recognizable musical theater voice, and he's gone into pop music, but I think he should do musical theater. He'd be outstanding.
