I agree with the OP!
She was practically MANIACAL singing that number! If last night taught us anything, it’s that if you can’t sing the notes, then act the hell out of it!

We were all wincing during the entire performance. I've enjoyed her before, but that was just plain bad.
Ewwwww jennafan's back. Creepy-ass poster.
I'll bet Lea likes angry sex. Her delivery of the lyric says it all, no?
Good to know I am not the only person's mind in the gutter with that line.

LOL!!!
Okay.. that was so funny I had to change the title of the original thread.
I didn't hate it, but it almost came off like trying too hard.
I actually enjoyed it. The beginning felt like she was fighting the music, but it was fine for me.

Somebody will have to ask Theo Stockman
"nobody really cares"
Don't care? Don't click.
Lea has an annoying whine in her voice that really irritates the hell outta me.
Overcooked performance? Yep. But the girl's got the pipes. With Sher reigning her in, she'd be great.
"nobody really cares" is jennaspeak for "I don't agree and I don't want anyone to express another opinion."

I do not agree with the comments you guys made about her not being able to sing..I just do not get it. Yes, she CLEARLY overacted and copied Barbara HOWEVER..It is clear she is definitely a beautifully trained singer, and chose to perform the song the way she did. She is a solid performer, I mean if you thought she was bad..what did you think of CZJ??? Also, being a singer training daily...what she did is truly amazing.
what did you think of CZJ???
If you'd taken about 5 minutes to read the other threads, you could've avoided asking this.
Besides, CZJ being bad last night doesn't make LM good.

Sean Hayes blew her out of the water.

Holy crap. I actually liked Lea's performance a lot more than most folks here even if, yes, it was a tad crazypants. But thank you, thank you, thank you original poster for pointing this out. I just spent way too long watching that line over and over, and it had me in tears. High. Sterical.
I thought it was a wonderfully intense performance. Over the top? Yes. But in a good way. Also, she is incredibly hot, which is always a plus.
Sauja, I know.. I know.. it is addictive.
I put her "CAUSE I'M A COMER!!!!!" in the same same category as the Brendan Fraser "crazy clap" and Whitney Houston's "KISS MY AZZZ!!!"
Classic.
I actually thought she was fantastic--sometimes her energy and excitement seemed to get the better of her and she overdid it a bit--but she's an extremely talented young woman. I saw the TONY dress rehearsal and she was a little less frazzled than at the actual performance and she brought the house down. But nonetheless, she is certainly not untalented....and good for her for succeeding in professional theatre in addition to making a name for herself in the Hollywood scene. I only hope to be half as lucky.
