Ashlee Simpson- Page 2

Some very good feedback. I agree with most of you... I do not and should not feel bad for Ashlee Simpson. She has zero talent, and if she were, for example, playing Elphaba, this board would be merciless on her. The blood would flow in a river down the main street of BWW.com. Son of a Gunn is right... Americans are getting tired of prefab packaged model-types having singing careers. Perhaps America has finally woken up and realize that it misses real vocalists like Karen Carpenter and Donny Hathaway. Now I cannot and will nor knock Madonna, but who loves her for her music anyway? We love HER, not "I'm drinkin' a soy latte/I get a double shot-tay..."

And Jessica's scary face contorsions and animal-like screeching noises have gotten on my nerves too.

OMG, Imagine Ashlee as Elphaba, Jessica as Galinda and Nick as Fiyero? With the way that Broadway has tended to make fatal mistakes when it comes to stunt casting (Hasselhoff in Jekyll, Lachey in Rent, Diddy in Raisin?!?!?!??) I wouldn't be suprised if we're soon to see:

Wicked Newlyweds: The Musical.

Stop me before I hyperventilate...

"Ashlee doesn't seem like the kind of person who would go out to hurt anyone."

Now THAT is a serious load of crap; this is the skank that, when she screwed up her SNL performance, tried to blame her musicians.

Spare me the sanctimonious "how can people dis-respect this performer" routine; she waived her right to my sympathy and respect at that moment.

As to the audience growing "tired" of these pre-packaged no-talent cretins, I am skeptical: our sophisticated Bwayworld community has tuned into a thread titled just "Ashlee Simpson" more than 1,000 times since midnight last night.
