"I think she didn't expect to get emotional so that caught her off guard"
She is an actor. She was onstage. There is no such thing as getting "caught off guard."

I just pictured a drunk Alice at the 'next to normal' after party.
It was priceless.

I did not care for her at ALL. the Next to Normal performance was dull and dragged on forever, and I thought she was very disappointing after all the hype I had heard. As for her speech, I think my girlfriend put it best, Agonizing.

I appreciated her comments about 'fine art' and how it needs to continue to be tweeked. Very nice -

I love her so, so, much. She is such a fantastic personality, her speech made me super happy.

She is crazy of course, but is she crazier than Betty Buckley?

Thinking back, I honestly have NO idea what the quote said. I was too focused on Alice's manic delivery.

Why is her behavior so surprising. Most actors talk like that. It is in their DNA. Most actors are manic geniuses who are like overexcited little kids...

"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello

Nobody cares about your BFA, Alice.
It was a hot mess. She was all over the place with that damned speech of hers. They should have cut her off much sooner.

I think I would have been disappointed if she hadn't been bizarre and overly intense. SHE. CERTAINLY. DELIVERED. ! ! !

The speech was great, although I was afraid where it was going as I watched it.

It was a nice speech, but the delivery was... um... Well, enthusiastic is putting it nicely.
