Although she was prematurely dumped from the Grease:You're the One That I Want train wreck of a reality show, don't despair. God has better things in mind for this little firecracker.
Good job, JuHa. Sorry they couldn't get past the dark hair. You had my vote all the way to the Tonys.
Sueleen are you Juliana's mother?
No Dear, just her Guardian Angel.
Juliana suffers from one of the worst high-pitch nasal voices I've ever heard. Watching her on that show was excruciating -- whenever she sang or spoke it was like nails on a blackboard, therefore I always fast-forwarded her sections. Her smarmy personality also didn't fare well with me, and obviously...with the voters.
I could easily see her as Millie Dillmont, but she is definitely NOT Sandy Dumbrowski (even wearing a blonde wig).
Oy!
Sueleen, my first reaction was, "because she's finally off of this trainwreck of a show."
"Sorry they couldn't get past the dark hair"
uh yeah, that's why she was kicked off. just keep telling yourself that.
I did not watch but that sucks for her...although I felt she was a tad to good for the show. I would rather see her cast in something better and do a better job.
Just as JHud is now known as the Superstar
who was booted off American Idol, so will JuHa be known as the Superstar who was booted off Grease:You're the One That I Want. Mark my words. It is a blessing in disguise...
She was awful. She doesn't nearly have the amount of star quality J-Hud has. Terrible comparison. Juliana was a bland and boring performer. J-Hud was always entertaining and fantastic on Idol.
Whether it was her or the editing, she did not come across well on the reality show. Yeah, yeah, she didn't get appropriate songs to sing - but she could have at least acted them well. I wasn't too impressed.
sueleen, just curious...
why do you have such a strong (albeit creepy) investment in juliana...?

Considering all her fame from her Millie blog, I was dissapointed in her tv performance. She seemed to be one of the few going in who had "some" noteability.
I'm sure she will do fine in the future. And probably best not to be involved in this skit.
Creepy? How?
Does one have to justify why? Do you ask Dollypop why he is obsessed with Channing? Rath with Ziemba? Corine with D'Abruzzo? Papa with Bell-Bundy? Somethings just don't need to be explained.

The question is why do those people have obsessions with mediocre talents (Channing excluded of course).

Because Carol Channing was a legend before half of any of these actresses today were heard of
Juliana is what people in the office call "stock" right now- stunning, talented but not much depth when she performs....in otherwords, perfect to stick into summer stock. A little boring to watch after a while.
She's sooo young and I'm sure the depth will come with age. She was doing just fine before this stupid show and she's going to continue growing and working!!
Go Juliana!
I, for one, am happy she's gone! The way she sang and spoke...like somebody said before: like nails on a chalkboard! She also doesn't have the look of a Sandy. And she will not work with a blonde wig, she'd look hideous.
Also, if you haven't realized: people in America know Sandy as a blonde, not a blonde wig, just truly blonde.
She was boring and to me, painful to hear. She needs to find another show that suits her better, and by "another show", she just better stay away from Evita, in my opinion, her rendition of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" was horrible!
But this is all just my 2 cents!
Well even if Sandy is played by a blond actress, she will probably wear a wig...So 'truly blonde' hardly matters.
And as has been pointed out ad naseum - most of the actresses who played Sandy during the original Broadway run of GREASE (including Sandy originator Carole Demas) were brunette.
I thought she sounded like she was (badly) trying to imitate Sutton Foster whenever she sang...not good.
did he then push her out of it?
just kidding
why post a message like this unless you are giving us some news that she has been offered something else or has a record contract or something.
We all realize that she didn't die because she got kicked off a mediocre show.
She'd be good as Sophie in mamma mia , Olive in Spelling Bee, Nessa Rose in Wicked ....even Wendla in Spring.
Who is she? I saw a couple clips from the TV show and at best she seemed mediocre. Nice voice with no substance.
Ya it definetly wasn't the dark hair. She wasn't even kinda good.
