Does anyone else think the LEGALLY BLONDE cd is AMAZING?!

I finally had a chance to listen to it yesterday. I think its going to be my favorite cast album for a long time. I particularly like "Positive" and "Chip on Your Shoulder."

No.

Nope. Not a single person on this website, other than you, likes the CD.

Sorry.

I am slightly addicted to it. But I like "Beacon of Positivity" better than "Positive" kind of sad they replaced it. Wah wah.

I really enjoy it. Would I call it "amazing"? No. I mean, it does not offer anything innovative or extraordinary in the genre of musical comedy, but it is quite fun.

I love the CD too. So don't worry your not the only one!

I know- I kinda liked "Love and War" better than "Positive" myself.

I enjoy it as well. There's a lot of Legally Blonde hate around here. Apparently Xanadu is the official (and only acceptable) guilty pleasure on this site.

I enjoy it and find it very addictive.

Hee- I'm about two posts away from starting an "Am I the only person who did not love Xanadu?" thread.

I LOVE IT.

You are most certainly not, Anakela. We're just too scared to say anything!

True, I fear being beaten with a roller skate. Or strangled with a legwarmer. :)

There were parts of it that I honestly did love and laugh at, but I feel like I'm missing out because I'm not "ZOMG going to see it for the 25th time tomorrow!!" It's an obsession on something 80s that is totally passing me by!


/ok, done threadjacking

I'm kind of wishing that Kerry Butler would leave it and come do Legally Blonde. IMO the show would be so much better if the lead actually had some star quality to her.

I like to see Kerry doing new stuff. And, as good as she sounds on the demos, I don't think she can play 22. Though she would be fierce.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 7/5/07 at 11:28am

Yeah, I guess you're right. Oh well. I just absolutely love her in the demo

Currently, "Bend and Snap" is my guilty pleasure. So damn catchy.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:02pm

I love the title song (the first version, not the remix.) What can I say, I'm a sucker for a schmaltzy belting number.

[JumpJumpJumpSoHigh]

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:03pm

Hee! "Bend and Snap" and "Positive" are my current addictions too. Also "What You Want," which has been mercilessly stuck in my head for a damn long time.

I'll join the club in saying that I'd still love to see Kerry as Elle. That girl is amazing, and I don't care how old she is -- she can still easily read as 22 on stage!

Now I shall sit back and wait patiently for someone to hijack this thread with comments about how Orfeh's songs are amazing "DESPITE the material" and how none of the other singers are even worth listening to.

Ho hum.

"What You Want" is a great workout song.

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:09pm

No. I saw it in SF and I am disappointed with the CD, but I did enjoy a few songs.

[xerotheory7803]

the cd is ok. after a few listens, some of the songs kinda get on your nerves. chip on your shoulder is probably my favorite on it.

What I most admire about it is that it takes you into the world of the show. I find myself thinking about the characters and how they are responding to the situation(s). And each time I listen to it, I'm amazed more and more at how great the lyrics are.

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:23pm

Wow, BroadwayBen, you summed it up very well. I agree that it takes you into the world of the show, and it does have some clever lyrics (though some are also, admittedly, pretty bad.)

[Born To Reign]

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:23pm

I agree, Ben. I actually find most of O'Keefe's lyrics very clever. They come at you fast and insist that you listen to them to get what's going on. I like a musical that relies on its songs to tell the story.

I just love that the CD never fails to put a smile on my face.
