*stifles laughter*

I just.... don't.... pft. No. It's like a jungle on his head, and it's making me really scared.

don't worry, em..im frightened too...


but i take comfort in knowing that adam is a cool cat, and it is for the movie, and it is probably only half way done growing, so it'll look ok...i hope

*breathes in and out*

Breathe, hon. Maybe it looks better in person? Maybe they'll get some make-up people to work on it? There is hope.

Adam is a cool cat, indeed.

I still think that Alicia Keys would be excellent.

Here's my cast (just for kicks)

Aida - ALICIA KEYS
Amneris - JESSICA SIMPSON
Radames - Not sure. GAVIN DeGRAW?
Zosar - BILLY IDOL

Alicia Keys would be great just sitting on a stage smiling.

But Jessica Simpson...ew. I prefer she stays in her own tooth-whitened Louis Vuitton world and out of my favorite medium.

yay for Kimmygonbefamous!

I agree with you 100%... leave Jessica Simpson at home with her stupidity and keep her away from broadway

While the show was running, I remember her name popping up quite a bit for someone who might be good as Amneris. She wouldn't have to do any acting, that's for sure.

I still think Beyonce would kick the sh!t out of Easy As Life.

No stunt casting EVER again! Especially for Aida! Don't even wanna think about it!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 2:18pm

Well, I don't think we have to worry about Aida anymore, anyway.

Hey...I think Jessica Simpson is ditzy and all that.....but as a singer she has the right voice for Amneris...and she is gorgeous...she's got the princess look. I would love to hear her version of "Everystory is a love story" she can hit all the notes.

Thank you, Muscle.

Personal feelings for her aside, I would like to see how Simpson would do in that part. Her "Strongest Suit" would rock!

I think she could sing it, but probably only really well once in a blue moon. I'm not sure she's got the vocal stamina for eight shows a week, regardless of the musical.

Not only that, but it actually takes a smart woman to play a dumb blonde on stage. Real dumb blondes can get away with it on film maybe, but the stage is different.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 5:41pm

And, she's not really as dumb as we originally thought.

[broadway86]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 5:44pm

Well, when I put down a 'dream cast', I don't really think about who could handle it all week. I just put who I would like to see in the role. You know?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 5:45pm

Yeah, I know. I was just saying realisitically, since I remember a ton of rumours about her when the show was still running.

[broadway86]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 6:12pm

Realistically, I would never have mentioned her. Lord knows her voice couldn't handle it.

This thread makes me sad.

Latoya London-Aida Jessica Simpson-Amneris William Hung-Radames

Oh, me too TGIF.

William Hung?! Are you TRYING to give me a heart attack?

I liked Deborah too....but perhaps my expectations were low...or she was just really good...

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 8:12pm

Vocally, I think she was my favourite. The acting needed help, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't hate her.

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 3/5/05 at 8:20pm

Her acting was better than most popstars...

It seems she and Joey are probably the best popstars turned B'way actors... Updated On: 3/5/05 at 08:20 PM

Posted: 3/5/05 at 8:22pm

Right, her acting was good... for a pop star.
