I hated Fantasia on AI. On the other hand, after Jennifer Hudson's "Easy To Be Hard" on the Hair Concert cd would put her in the running in my book!

They want an unknown for Effie.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Oh honey, Fantasia's aight but in no way has the voice for Effie.

I hate Fantasia's voice... but I guess it doesn't matter because I am not going to see this movie.

I know they want an unknown but eveyone does not know Jennifer Hudson. It is not like she is on the TV everyday. So she is an unknown. And Fantasia cannot play that role at all.

The Dreams should be played by the Mandrell Sisters

there isn't an African-American girl in this country who doesn't know that song---the field is WIDE open.

I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

I just wonder who they are going to cast for the other girl groups in the show? Because all together I think there are 5 other girl groups.

Stop worrying if your vision is new. Let others make that decision- They usually do. You keep moving on. Anything you do, Let it come from you. Then it will be new. Give us more to see... ~Sunday In the Park with George
