OMG! When I saw this clip on this now Godsent website, I was screaming. My mom and I were just talking about how amazing it would be to see the two of them in it. Anyway, when you see it, their chemistry is so beautiful, you'll cry. They look so in love, and so moved by the passion of the song. Here it is:

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:11pmI saw it, and I liked it, but Taye is not as good a singer as Norbie...

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:12pmMeh...I am not a Taye fan at all...I'm sorry but it seemed so cheesy to me when he got cast in that show.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:15pmGood point, but I talked to her backstage on my birthday and asked her about it, and she's all like, "Oh, it was amazing! It was like a second honeymoon!" But she did sound bummed that Norbie had some kind of injury.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:17pmI adore Taye, don't get me wrong, but he isn't as good a singer as Norbert. However, I would have loved to see him in the part.

Gosh, I forgot how bad Taye was in the role. If anyone ever gives Joe Mac a hard time about Wicked again they should be made listen to Taye to understand what 'bad' is.

Taye might've been a crappy Fiyero.
BUT he is not a BAD singer by any means. He has a great voice.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:21pmi wish i heard jmac in the role... i saw it right before he joined, so i never got to hear him!

Erm, have you listened to the clip? Or have you had the volume off? This is bad singing!
Zepka, check your PMs.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:28pmHave you heard him on "The Wild Party" cast recording? If you're going to base his singing ability on a 3 minute Wicked clip, there is a problem.

Honey, read my original post again. I was saying how bad he was in the role. So yes, I would be judging his singing on his Fiyero in Wicked but not one the three minute clip. I've seen him in the role, so had almost three hours to decide that he was BAD in THAT role.

Sorry Queen. I didn't know you actually saw him in the role.
But he is absolutely fabolous on TWP Cast Recording.
Anyway I hate when people knock Joey. When I saw him on 1/4 he was absolutely fabolous. So much energy and belted the hell out of DTL.

No problem, ljay
I think Taye is a wonderful actor, I guess Wicked was just 'wrong' him.
I agree with your comment about Joe Mac and he was one of the people I was refering to on the 'stunt casting' thread. Some people just knocked his performance because of his past. I really enjoyed his performance too.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:47pmI never knocked Joe Mac's performance in Wicked because of his past. I always found myself knocking it because he was--to put is simply--horrible.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 10:47pmTaye played Fiyero while Norbert was injured. It was for real.

I don't agree with that at all but each to their own, I guess.
