re: Alice Ripley strikes again (on YouTube)

Before her Tony Award win, I didn't know much about Alice Ripley. But even I was awestruck by her incoherent rambling in her speech. Apparently, she is known for straying into "space cadet" land at times. RC in Austin, Texas... where it's a cold 58 F.

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

It' an act, people. I heard it directly from her at the stage door. She said she does the videos to make herself laugh, and she's surprised that people watch them because she's just being "stupid." re: Alice Ripley strikes again (on YouTube)

All the best Broadway stars are a little bit offkilter.
She's a bit nutty (in a good way)nand she's having fun.

It's sorta like Christine Ebersole boppin' and boogiein'.

Ok, so its an act. That's beside the point. She's not posting the videos saying IM NOT A NUT before them...

She's posting them as Alice Ripley, not in character, and not with a disclaimer so she had to know people would be WTFing about it. And its not like she posted four videos, she's been posting videos for months.

I think they're hilarious but still...a little crazy. Joke or not. And I love the woman.

Act or not, its admittedly odd. I mean, come on.

But you go Alice. Whatever floats your boat...and provides entertainment for me...is a-okay.

I love when something is described to you and you think to yourself "they have to be exaggerating". Just watch a few. Nope, if anything my husband was being kind when describing these to me.

Some of the newer fans she's acquired since Next to Normal opened are a tad over enthusiastic. And that's putting it nicely. I've been a fan for awhile and I think she's insanely talented, but I'm not doing the stuff that these people are doing.

Every show has "crazy" fans, and of course being a fan of said show or performer doesn't automatically make you crazy.

Though, it seems Ms. Ripley has fueled a new strain of ultra-crazy fangirls.

For me, she hasn't been able to top the school project project.

My personal opinion is that Alice doesn't have "what it takes". I hope she proves me wrong...I doubt she will.

i love her too! but in the creepy obsessive way...

At least they can admit it. Isn't that the first step of recovery?

I think she's insanely talented, and I also think she's insane. Depending on whether you think they're an act or sincere, her Youtube videos just add flame to one of two fires.

"Crazy" isn't a bad thing as long as it's not harmful to anyone. We're all a bit crazy anyway. Some of us just choose to embrace it. I've always embraced my eccentricity and I applaud Alice and others like her for doing the same.

At first I was a little weirded out, but now I think the videos are so funny. My sister is absolutely terrified of them though. If I play one of them, my sister will literally shut her eyes and cover her ears until I take it off. She's a big fan of Alice and Next to Normal, I don't know why she gets scared though. It's hilarious.

re: Alice Ripley strikes again (on YouTube)

well or a mix of both! but since a lot of ppl are talking about them i guess AR got what she wanted.
i personally find them disturbing. and just stopped watching them.

Crazy? Perhaps.

Narcissistic? For sure.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Does anyone know what actually went down when she was allegedly "Censored?" and started deleting her vids?

Anways, she seemed to jump back on board pretty quickly. I guess every artist needs to reinvent themselves.

re: Alice Ripley strikes again (on YouTube)

Rocks, I've been trying to distance myself from some of the fandom so I don't the extent that the crazy has been brought too. From these posts, I can only assume it's a lot worse. My comment was just from what I've seen firsthand.
