Fastasia's Last Day/ Tony Performance — Page 8

Yup,

Wicked signed off.

We must all keep an eye out for this loser and let everyone know they are a fake.

All the nutso's just can't stay away. Too funny. I'm grabbing a snack too, this is too funny to miss. I actually can't believe they are still at this. But, considering those at it, I'm not surprised.

It's a lunatic convention up in here.

Hmmm...........

Wicked signs off then Virgo re-appears.....

This is getting too easy.

I've had enough.

Night.

I want Wicked4life to return! I need more entertainment and more quotes for the signature!

<< However her acting knocked my socks off >>

Totally agree---- she has really taken the role to a new level.

I still worry about her voice over the long haul. But, for now, truly not to be missed.

I've been worried about Fantasia's voice since the AI days. She probably isn't singing properly (technique.) And singing like that 8x can't be good.

But her voice is sounding better these days.

1) I am not a complainer
2) I have nothing against Fantasia or The Color Purple (I liked it). I realize that she has brought people to Broadway in droves and I am sure that her performance is good (Have not seen her).

But, it is just so wrong to have Fantasia performing "I'm Here" at the Tonys this year.
This should be a celebration of the 2006-2007 season, not the 2005-2006 season.

What's next to boost the Tony ratings?
Jennifer Holiday and Jennifer Hudson both performing AIMTY then the viewing audience calls in and decides which is the better version?

Steve2- thats not a good analogy. Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holliday are not in a current broadway show. Fantasia is starring in and winning awards in a current show.

Its been said so many times its not fair - but it is what it is.

Also, Im not sure I understand some of the comments referring to the Fantasia of AI versus now. She is the same singer and although she does sing differently at times- its the same voice we heard from AI. I wouldnt worry about her voice either she has been singing much harder songs since she has been 5 years old - her voice just has that raspy sound to it - she is doing nothing wrong.

Also, I heard Barbara Cook introduced Fantasia for the Theatre award and was gushing about her voice and was blown away by her acting in TCP. Very nice.

Testing- have you heard that she may do Summertime? I know whatever song is chosen she will have everybody out of their seats - which is the norm for her and live performances.

Only a few more days now - I cant wait to hear it - and to see the other performers on the show.

"What's next to boost the Tony ratings?

Now, if they really wanted ratings this is what they would have done. A Holliday/Hudson battle of "Am I'm telling you" live on the tony stage? Oh yeah, that would have been a ratings smash. Or, Even legally blonde.

Fantasia, however, isn't performing for ratings. She's performing because she's earned critical acclaimed rave reviews, of which her performance of "I'm here" on Broadway is said to match the intensity of Holliday all those years ago. She is not a Beyonce.

Who knows, perhaps if Fantasia never hit the broadway stage to rave reviews, we might have seen Blonde or Holliday/Hudson doing "And I'm telling you", however, they decided to make room to toast the current smash of broadway. Actually, they should because Fantasia can't win a Tony for this and looking at the reviews she would have had a shot at one if she were eligible. I guess it's their way of saying "thanks" to her for a wonderful performance.

"You've got to be kidding. Donna Murphy and Michael Cerveris got raves too. They're not performing. "

Exactly, and they are being toasted by being nominated for Actual Tony awards. Do you think Donna Murphy and Michael Cerveris would like to trade places with Fantasia and perform instead of being nominated and possibly winning? You can't have it all folks. I'm sure had Fantasia been "nominated" she wouldn't be performing either, unless, her show was nominated.
