AMERICAN IDOL Tonight - Classic Musicals — Page 5

That show was AWFUL tonight. I don't think its the fault of the performers, most of whom apparently never heard a showtune. The only ones I thought were somewhat appealing were Constantine (who at least made the song something of sexual foreplay) and Nadia who at least looked like a diva belter. The rest had no connection whatsoever with the material. To me, both Carrie and Bo were lost this week..Carrie sounding like Dolly Parton doing a really poor imitation of Julie Andrews and Bo looking like he really really wanted to be elsewhere. My guess is we won't be seeing any more musicals themed shows again.

Peter,
I think you are right. We probaly wont be seeing a musicals show in the future. And thats is a shame. True the performances tonight were mostly to blame. But the horrible orchestrations did not help. And why did they have to pick such old material? What a different show it would have been if they would have done stuff from Rent, Dreamgirls, Hairspray, or even old but more contemporary stuff like "What I did for love "( think of what Carrie could have done with that). I guess I should be glad someone had the sense to keep them from doing Lloyd Webber.

It's just an opinion pole but you can vote as many times as you want. Carrie was in the lead until this week.
