And I am so aware thatthis is an unpopular opinion, but I will never see what those critics (or other fans) see in Lea Salonga. She doesKristin Davis on Sex and the City level acting at best, in my opinion. Her performancein Once On This Island not only shouldn't have happened (why was she in that show?), but it was a farce. Just dead behind the eyes and a pretty voice. I went to see Old Friends on the day of her absence and had a fantastic time."
As very clearly mentioned in my post, the reason I pulled those quotes was to show that clearly a number of people experienced a surprisingly strong out-of-her-wheelhouse turn by Salonga in Old Friends.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, yes, which is exactly my point. No need to gaslight someone else into thinking they’re crazy for liking something you didn’t.
you’re perfectly entitled to not like Lea, just as I am entitled to not like Audra’s rose.
and the world goes round.
a little tolerance for a differing opinion on here could go a long way. Something tells me none of you would be this flippantly rude and dismissive of a differing opinion if you weren’t hiding behind your laptops.
