Posted: 7/19/10 at 7:51pmTo be fair, that note, when he gets it right, is awesome.

Posted: 7/19/10 at 7:53pmWhen I saw it, he hit the note much better, but didn't riff up the "lives" which is understandable. It was a rough performance.

To be fair, he's a Tony Nominated performer singing for the President of the US on TV, representing 'the best of today's Broadway" Pass the cocktail sauce.
I was hoping we could escape the "AH AAAAAH AAAAA" ending for once.

Posted: 7/19/10 at 7:58pmShe sounded fine. A little constricted but not "painful." She looks beautiful too.

Posted: 7/19/10 at 7:59pmI'm watching on the LIVE on Facebook page and the comments are astounding. Is everyone on Facebook deaf? They went CRAZY over Chad's performance and Idina's Defying Gravity. They were both a horrible hot mess!

Posted: 7/19/10 at 7:59pmI'm loving the less than subtle song choices.

As a pinko liberal I hate to say this, but I totally see why the right thinks Obama comes off with a "superior" air.
I had a flashback to the Clinton era: Clinton would have looked like he was involved in the performance and gleaning the greater message of whatever song being sung. Obama is expressions are polite but untouched.

I didn't think Idina was terrible, but it certainly wasn't her best.
Audra, on the other hand, is just perfect.

I've heard Idina sing it better, but I thought she was fine. I was a little surprised she didn't hold "Me" long enough though.
Audra and Brian have been the best though.

Almira, should the president have squealed like a fangirl after Defying Gravity?
Is Nathan Lane drunk? He keeps doing that Michael Scott awkward stare to the lower left.
This is a perfect song for Idina's voice these days. I'm almost sad I missed her concert Saturday night in VA.
Wanting life but never knowing how
