"All Shook Up" on the Thanksgiving Parade — Page 3

Calm down. It is going to be ok.

I'm always amused by the fact that on this site, four hundred people can say the same thing in as acerbic a manner or even more so as myself, but it is only I that is constantly blasted as "bitter" and "having it out for someone", or with some sort of "agenda". Last time I checked, my right to an opinion had not been surgically eviscerated. I guess it's always fun to screw with the worthwhile. Challenges are always fun, so I can't say I blame ya but really people, it's getting mind-numbingly trite.

I do not 'read'...nor visit at all...any other boards Honey...You can have them all to yourself.Hope the spellcheck helped...although you still have Gambatese spelled wrong...Some people just never learn.
SOCKPUPPET...No nobody I ever heard of.
Never Bother Al...Just a reminder.
A courtesy to the rabid JG fans also I suppose that you rip her every chance you get...Thanks Honey...Love You ...

Here we go again...You forgot to actually say the word Al...Shill...Your favorite word...And it was you who went after Penny Lou about the spelling...Personal attacks...Your specialty!
Al is leaving to go bother someone else now...Board is safe.
He has better things to do...

I didnt think ALL SHOOK UP was all too hot on the thanksgiving parade. Cheyenne Jackson cant lip sync. I know I know it counts for nothing in the end when he's on stage, but mayeb thats why I didnt like it. It bugged me THE ENTIRE TIME. Jennifer Gambatese seems very talented, the most talented of the bunch. I thought the choreography was akward at times (especially the partner dancing towards the end), and the costumes looked pretty bad. Then again this is one song in a large show that got very good reviews, SO HEY who knows I might end up liking the show...

And I thought GOOD VIBRATIONS was awesome. They were so on and the choreography/costumes/vocals were great. It was actually fun watching them. You weren't stressing or watching for people to screw up on choreography or words or get off on the lip syncing.

I thought the performance was fine for what it was--publicity. That's all that parade is anymore--promotions and commercials.

They needed to perform on the parade. It's important publicity. They put together two songs for it. Why are we reviewing it as if it were opening night?

I think the show will be a hit--it has that Grease vibe and people love Elvis.

For the same reason, I bet Good Vibrations will do well. People love the Beach Boys.

Would I prefer original musicals? You bet I would. But, people will be working and more people will be introduced to theatre. And in this volatile climate, it's better than nothing.

I will add to the voices that feel that Cheyenne is talented. I have only seen him live at benefits--and I think the boy has a gorgeous voice. He's also a hot guy who isn't afraid to have fun and be silly on stage. And his being a nice guy transfers to the stage--he never has an ego or snobbishness.

I just find it deeply ironic that we bitch and bitch and bitch about Broadway not giving new talent a chance--and when they do, some people pull the knives out (or just the claws). Let's give Jennifer and Cheyenne a chance to open the show before we crucify them.

Well-said!

Dear Al,
First off I'm sure I am better off not having you on any bandwagon of mine, for it seem we will never have any likes in common. Which is fine.. its' ok to have difference of point of view. That's doesn't mean you have to be rude about it when someone voices a point of view contradicting your..

Second I was classified with a learning disorder in 3rd grade.. I struggled throw my entire elementary and high school career and busted my ass to become a good student (graduated senior year will all A's) but spelling is just something I can't and will never be able to do.. Teacher in school weren't aloud to take off on my work for it.. so I don;t need you to try and make me feel like a lesser person for it either. Do you want to see my school files.. or would a note from my Mom get you off my back?

So there is no need to treat me like I am just making an excuse up, I can prove it to you if you really want! But thanks for trying to make me feel lesser because of it.. not that the whole world has to know this.. Thanks and have a nice and 'All Shook Up' kind of day!

Pennylou
