Audrey II strikes again

woo hoo, anyway, i have to say, brina, that the turtle comment was exactly what i thought.

and the zipper show, is that where he sang under pressure? i've seen that. and the comments that people have made. irks me when people can't spell lol

---

The video of Under Pressure is funny. Now whenever I listen to that song I can't help but think of Adam...drunk.

---

I've noticed that song on commercials too! It is really funny.

---

yeah i have seen that commercial too. it was odd cause i was half asleep and that came on. i remember blinking and trying to figure out why i was hearing Adam and then realized i wasn't.

---

I totatally agree that Adam owns the role of Freddie. I've seen others play the part, and though they are marvelous singers; the high notes they hit grate on me to no end. The cool thing about Adam's voice is that his high falsetto notes soar so perfectly; its awesome to listen to.

There's a thread on the main board regarding a possible movie version of Aida. Apparently the source is a little suspect, but Disney may be trying to put together a live action version with Beyonce. It's a shame they're not considering Heather Headley, since she owns that role in my opinion, but I totally understand their thinking, if this is true. The only musicals that have done well lately have starred Hollywood actors and celebrities, not the Broadway cast. However, Adam or Sherie might have a chance at this, since having one big star allows for one or two of the other leads to be not as well known. Chances are they'll go for more Hollywood types though.

Beyonce = almost guaranteed blockbuster hit unfortunately

But hey, if it means the movie picks up steam and helps to bring the movie musical back somewhat mainstream I'm all for that.

I would definitely be all for Adam in this. It's not like RENT when they were supposed to be 21 y/o, Radames has no technical age.

racier hmm... racier could be good...racier could be very good

---

yummy.

I personally think he does have a chance at this one, perhaps not so much Sherie Rene Scott (though playing Ursula in The Little Mermaid could put her on Disney's good side). Since he has done a movie musical like RENT, he does have a much bigger following then he did a few years ago (or at least thats what I think.) I think it be interesting to see a younger Aida with a somewhat older Radames, it could add to the chemistry of the characters. Though I totally agree that Heather deserves it more than Beyonce does. I was also thinking that Tracie Thoms could make an interesting Aida, if not one of the other supporting characters (I forgot the name of the girl who dies in Aida's stead...drawing a blank lol.)

(I forgot the name of the girl who dies in Aida's stead...drawing a blank lol.)

Nehebka? That could work.

If this movie is going to happen and they want Beyonce, they're obviously looking to make it a GIANT blockbuster, which makes me think they'd go for major star-power wherever they could get it. They're so not casting Adam.

And anyway, I just hope the movie doesn't get made at all. (Sounds familiar, no?) Being that it takes place in such a fascinating time period, it could make a gorgeous movie in the right hands. With the proper edits in the libretto, the right historical background and visual aesthetics, I think it could be wonderful, but I have no faith that it would turn out up to its potential. I think they'd ruin it. I envision a sort of rich, sexy kind of thing, but the result would probably more likely be cheesy and gaudy.
