She was the true underdog in this catergory, I was on the phone when they were announcing her name...and I almost screamed into a friend's ear. I'm totally happy for LaChanze! She carries TCP and rises above it's flaws. So many people discounted her or tried to place her up there with Patti. Patti Lupone is a legend, has earned the right be a diva, and will always be iconic while LaChanze may not reach that level of popularity, she has always been a class act in terms of character, performance, and spirit. Congratulations to her for her Tony win because the way this night was going who knows.
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazines,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity,
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet
Cause my momma taught me better than that.
