I didn't understand the popular uproar for KC, after I saw Wicked... she really didn't impress me in the role of Galinda/Glinda. But... after seeing her 2004 Carnegie performance, I finally got why people are big fans of hers. On the Carnegie stage she was a force that was untouchable... she gave a lot to her performance and when the end came, her voice was still going strong and she didn't look or act the least bit weathered by what was obviously a demanding show. To pull off that show the way she did, took talent... and without a doubt, she has it.

If anyone doubts her talent, every now and then PBS runs her Carnegie performance... I suggest checking it out.
As for the bickering going on, in this thread... in the tone of KC:
I know you don't want to hear this, but someone has to say it... You are out of control! I mean, come on!
They're just shoes, It's just a message board, let it go!
I've come this far with the truth of the heart. Deep down inside I think we're all the same. Try not to judge and never shame... I do believe people are good... they just want hope and respect... to be understood ~Melissa Etheridge
