Fastasia's Last Day/ Tony Performance — Page 4

"I wish the ceremony went back to the years when the performers were Bernadette Peters, Liza Minnelli, Bea Arthur, Angela Lansbury, Anita Morris, Chita Rivera, Donna McKechnie, and the like."

So you're saying young stars who've gotten rave reviews should be ignored for the legends? Well thank goodness no one who matters really agrees with you because broadway would end soon if that were the case. You have to allow the young who are critically acclaimed as in 20 years you'll be here wishing for a Fantasia performance just like you are wishing for a Bernadette Peters performance now. Her reviews say that SHE can be a broadway legend if she wants. I don't know if Fantasia wants that but Broadway has opened their arms up extremely wide both critics and fans alike. Seems as though the only objectors to her are the five in this thread. LOL.

Oh, Virgo, you're just making it too easy.

I wouldnt say that so fast Theatrediva - Like Virgo has said- the people that matter on Broadway have opened their arms wide for Fantasia to stay on Broadway and return. Im sure if she is offered the right part - she would consider it.

Hey Virgo- isnt it funny we are having this discussion with people who havent even seen the performance by Fantasia?

It really makes me want to laugh.

They dont even listen to testing who has seen Fantasia 4 times.

Thats ok in a few years even they will be eating their own words.

LOL.

I saw Michelle Lee a few years back at Carnegie Hall, along with some supposed broadway legends - and she was atrocious. I wasnt sure if she was seriously singing or not. Some legends need to stop performing and let the young brilliant performers have their time.

Dream-On and Virgo,

Stop beating a dead horse.

"Hey Virgo- isnt it funny we are having this discussion with people who havent even seen the performance by Fantasia?""

Dreamon that is the funny part, they have no idea that I think they are simply hilarious. They are nothing but idol heads, people who've hated her since idol, that has to be the case otherwise why won't they shell out the bucks to see her. Why are they even discussing a person they refuse to see on broadway? Oops, that's right, they are idol heads and can't help it. Too funny.

"Alright, I'm done. It's clearly useless to keep arguing with you Virgo."

Duh, Earth to wonderwizard. I wasn't arguing with you, I don't recall saying anything to you, remember, it was you who took offense to my comment, not the other way around.

we know you guys are unhappy about the tony's, but your mothers should have told you, you can't cry over spilled milk and things you clearly have no control over. Time to accept reality. Call for a boycott of the tony's but you really look nuts posting this here because I'm sure fantasia is still going to show up no matter how many times you say "I don't think fantasia should perform". You likely also think she should not be on broadway either and the nerve of her to earn rave reviews. that girl has so much nerve.

Okay, I'll post this, because it bugs me when people generalize.


Virgo, I have no problem with Fantasia being on Broadway, or getting great reviews. I'm not an "idol head" and I haven't hated her since Idol. I actually think she was great when she performed "I'm Here" on Regis and Kelly". However, that doesn't change how I feel about her performing.

Ditto what Ray said, get a life.

Oh, I'm sorry TheatreDiva. I'm so inconsiderate. How could I not acknowledge the hard work Virgo/Dream has put into creating both accounts, defending Fantasia, and going to see the show nightly to shell out the bucks to see her because apparently if you hate her you won't pay money to see her, but if you love her you see her every night then?

---

ray, I was just thinking that's what you need "a life" then perhaps you'd have something better to do with your time then complain about things you have NO CONTROL over. LOL.

Plus, they are things that at the end of the day will mean nothing to you, loads to fantasia though, she'll have this honor the rest of her life. I really couldn't careless about her performing at the tony's, though, for her it is a huge honor, I'm more impressed with her reviews and that her work has been so critically acclaimed. Take the tony performance away tomorrow and it wouldn't phase me one bit. I know you wish you could say the same about her performing. You're going to crack.

theatrediva= my life is more fullfilling than an old diva home alone posting on a messageboard because he cant work anymore.

I feel so sorry for you diva. Maybe you will get work soon - or maybe hell will freeze over first.

roflmao.

I'm not sure Ray, since I've never watched Fantasia or really seen much of American Idol, I find it odd that Dreamy/Virgo seems to think I'm an Idol-Head.

How can I 'hate' someone I couldn't care less about?

---

Anyway, I was just having fun here but I see the objectors are really serious. It's really a "moot" point really. but anyway, boycott the tony's like almost all the rest of america will anyway.

Or, if you wish hard enough and say it as many times as you can, perhaps her "not performing" might come to pass for ya. Good luck on that guys.
