Britney Spears' quote- Page 2

"She'd get cast, but she wouldn't deserve it."

Yeah, and that never happens.

I didn't say it didn't, Rath, I was merely expressing my distaste for such practices.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 1/1/05 at 9:56pm

Good. Because there are plenty of people who aren't names who get cast who don't deserve it either.

Why does that happen? I mean that honestly. If it's one unknown against another, why does the role end up being poorly cast when you know that at least one of the potential actors had to be good? I'm guessing it's one of those showbiz things that involves sleeping with certain people. *shrug*

Oh my god, Britney Spears on Broadway i think cows are flying over my roof. This would be complete hell on earth or hell on stage. Britney is a performer when she is making believe she sings for her little britney fans but broadway is in a league of its own. When you listen to a pop album and then put in a broadway recording or ANY show you can tell the difference right away and its one word to describe it...Talent, which Britney does not have. I could just imagine the group of die hard broadway fans waiting outside with pitch forks ready to hang the pop princess in the middle of time square and i would be right along with them because i might like Britney as a pop artist, but broadway is not a stage she should be on. She should leave that up to the real singers. All in all she probably will be in a show but mark my words if she goes Wicked i wont see it again until she is long gone from that theater and iam sure she is just so much fun to work with lol.

I better get sleeping then!

The little Britney fans greatly resemble the little Idina fans, has anyone else noticed?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 1/1/05 at 10:04pm

insomniak, I'm not sure - there are always reasons for everything, but it does boggle the mind sometimes. Sometimes it's about looks, sometimes the better person rubs the director the wrong way for many reasons, including looking like their ex-wife, that sort of thing. But I have seen many performers on Broadway who really aren't so great, and you just know there are other people out there who would have done a better job.

It was part of Norm's column, just a one line quote.

Thanks Rath. It's a shame... I hate seeing a show and thinking someone at my high school could do better.

[paradox_error]

Posted: 1/1/05 at 10:08pm

"...better people"

From what I hear, you are one of those people Rath...

Britney being on Broadway would be atrocious. I wouldn't wish to inflict her on any show, not even Brooklyn. Updated On: 1/1/05 at 10:08 PM

Well iam a "little idina" fan if 21 year old males are lol but i think its because she has a great voice and i loved her before wicked, which i believe many of the idina fans can not say. So Britney and Idina, i dont think should even be in the same catagory.

One of what people, paradox?

Posted: 1/1/05 at 10:11pm

Amen to that Idinafan! I'm a 23 year old male, who was a fan of Idina's work before "Wicked," and will be long after. To even put Britney Spears in the same phrase as Idina is insulting! Just not funny!

Your right, and iam proud to be an Idina Fan even if i am not in the norm of the average age of her fan base :)

Hey, ain't no shame in being an Idina fan. So far you seem better spoken and much more coherent and sane than some of her many other fans who've bombarded this site.

Tell me: Have you ever stalked her/screamed "OH MY GOD IDINA!!!!!!!!" to her face and caused her to drop her coffee/gone through her trash/called yourself "Taye"/typed lyke u r on a cell fone and hukt on fonex didunt werk 4 u?

If no to all of the above, we'll think you're okay.

First thing is first i love your photo on the side. RIP, also i have not done any of the above. I have meet her and just said she had a great show and smiled other then that i havent stalked her. She seems to know the good eggs from the "i love you cause your popular" fans. It is funny cause iam actually going to see Wicked on the 5th and i know its her last week but iam alittle nervous she is not gonna be there because of the HORROR stories that people are saying about her huffing or puffing during the songs.

You know how Mariah Carey wants to do a Christmas Broadway show? I hope that there isn't a trend among many of today's pop stars: bring your own show to Broadway.

Oh Please just kill me now! Broadway and the West End are known for being the golden ring for theater performers and audience members.....she would ruin that for all us. I'm speaking as an audience member not a performer. I expect a certain level of talent (and usually get it). She should start real small...like her garage!!!

[millie_dillmount]

Posted: 1/1/05 at 10:31pm

"I'd like to start somewhere small, like London or England..."

London OR England? Hmmm...

Hello, London is friggin' right in England! Wow.

Britney Spears.... Broadway? She's just trying new things. And she shouldn't. She's already rich. And if people like her, they can watch her on TV and in videos. Does she have to come into the domain of so many people who love actual theater, who have worked so hard, because they love this certain world of songs that have meaning and add to a story? Britney Spears does not love Broadway. If she did, she would not go around trying harder and harder to be like another blonde popstar-ditz. She's great at acting stupid, really. I'm sure she's not totally dumb in real life. She can read the song lyrics, right? Well, I didn't mean to thrash her, I'm just saying that she should stick to what she's good at, being a pop-idol.

Brittany would never be cast in Wicked. Who could she possibly play? I wouldn't say the characters have a large margin of possibility for new "looks" (or limited vocal/acting ranges ) Seriously, folks.

Wicked is doing quite well, I don't think the producers would pull a stunt like that so early in the game.

Tiff, I'm with you. Once I heard those violins, I was totally under Toxic's spell...

Us Idina fans are FAR from similarity with the Britney fans. We have a thing called "CLASS"!Thank you very much!

Tiff, I definitely remember the Canada quote. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have.

Also, she and her husband were in a store and Britney wrote something on the wall and signed it "B-WICKED". I wish I could remember where I found the pictures of that...
