Can someone explain Patti LuPone? — Page 5

No one can be told what the Patti LuPone is...you have to see it for yourself.

---

The word is misleading applied to LuPone. She is actually more "down-to-earth" than "diva."

---

If you don't get it...it can't be explained!

you know what i just realized after reading and posting on this thread?

the answer to the title of the thread is NO - she can't be explained.

I have a great patti lupone story.

I just finished working on the Will Rogers Follies at the Sharon Playhouse in Sharon, CT. The famous, "pizza lady of Sharon," told me that a week earlier, Patti Lupone came in (Sharon is the home of many celebs such as her) to the shop and was outraged at the prices. She continued yelling at the pizza lady as the pizza lady began to escort her back to her car. Patti Lupone picked up a garlic shaker and threw it at the pizza lady. This was the last time she was in the Pizza shop in Sharon. This is a true story i heard during her week long break from Sweeny Todd.

hahahahahaa

i say, if you have the talent to back it up, DIVA ON, sister!!!!!

"I'm not saying that she isn't talented, and that she doesn't deserve her fame. I'm just saying that I myself do not enjoy her singing."

That's exactly how I feel.

Merman acted like a Diva. As does Barbra Streisand. I've never understood why people allow it from them, and just find it funny or whatnot, but for some reason bitch on about Patti for certain things that she has said or done.

I think, from interviews and things that I have seen with her, that she seems to be a very down-to-earth, very honest woman. Read her "Ramblings from the Road". It is mostly saying how excited she is to work with the people that she works with in her different projects - this to me seems humble. I admire that.

I think she is a proper actress. Someone for whom every second is about the work - not about herself. That is why she admires people that she works with, because the work itself excites her. She is a true artist. I think the moment that the work stops exciting the actress, they stop being an actress and start being a celebrity/diva.

This thread is an attack on the original poster. I am shocked at how many people have lashed out at this poster and attacked the singing voices of Idina Menzel/Shoshana Bean simply because this poster has stated her opinion (and people feel the need to lash out at her because of her chosen screen name, Elphaba). Shame on you people, and personally I would rather listen to Menzel almost anyday over Lapone - and I own plenty of both. There, now the lashing can begin on me!

However, comparing the two are like apples and oranges. Please let this poster state her opinion and if you don't agree there is NO NEED to insult Menzel. Thank You.

RentHead, darling, it's Lupone with a U not Lapone with an A, 'cos Lapone with an A goes "Ah" not "Ooo".

Once upon a time, I didn't 'get' her.

Now I do.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! She sucks! She was on WNYC a couple months ago (www.wnyc.org) and search for it. She is so pretentious and carries that façade of learned ACT-tor. Like she studied in France or something. No wonder television doesn’t want her.

After hearing her SOME PEOPLE, EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES, and ROSE'S TURN from Gypsy. There is no need to explain Patti LuPone . Those 3 songs explain it all.
