Amen, Schmerg. Charlie should learn basic grammar before he jumps on people for semantics.

I only say he because I'm pretty sure you're TooDarnHot.

TimesSquare3, I can't even tell which side your post is backing, but I can't help but grin whenever I see your avatar. ^_^

Having started this big discussion with my unintended mistake let me say that I feel I should have used the term cast recording instead of soundtrack. It is interesting, however, that the Columbia LP of My Fair Lady which was recorded with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews and the Broadway cast used neither term on the album cover.

I'm curious when the term cast recording first became commonly used.

I'm curious as to when this thread spiraled out of control.

When people started thinking that using the correct terms and being specific wasn't necessary in life.

Not the thread for that!

DollyPop did the right thing in the "HEDDA GABLER reviews" thread and made an all new thread to discuss the term "moist voice." This here is a thread about the WICKED cast recording, not the proper terms to use in the theatre world.

Am I the only one that hears a woman screaming the last "WICKEEEEDDDDDDD!" in the finale on the CR? You hear it for about 4 seconds, and then they fade it out.

You're not thinking of Kristin's super high ending note that kind of comes in at the very end are you?

I know exactly what they're talking about. It's not Kristin. Give it a listen. It's not THAT audible, but it's the very last "WICKED!" in the Finale. It's a woman very clearly SCREAMING her note. Hysterical.

Oh my gosh, I know what you're talking about. That's always bothered me.

I swear, she's the same evil screeching off-key woman on the CATS OBC. (Listen to the OBC version of "Skimbleshanks." Ugh...)

I just saw Wicked in London and I loved it. But I liked the lyrics, too. "No Good Deed" and "Defying Gravity" are the height of the game.

Please read my full review linked below and tell me what you think. I new to the world of reviewing and would like honest feedback (even if it hurts).

so you enjoy bad lyrics?

you should check out Frank Wildhorn, then.

sounds like you have some loathing, unadulterated loathing for the lyrics, then

thanks for proving my case.

"unadulterated" ? really??

terrible choice.

I see what he's TRYING to get at but if I asked you to explain what that means, right now, would you be able to explain what "unadulterated loathing" is??

And that's a bad example. there are some really great ones, if you'd like to get into it.

Not the thread for that!

I don't disagree, but you asked when it spiraled out of control.

Actually, I think this is the point of a discussion anyway. Sometimes discussions evolve into different topics. If we made a new thread every time a discussion went a bit off topic, there would be so many more threads.

It was a rhetorical, frustrated question.

It wasn't a discussion anymore. It was a pissing match. I understand that it would be impossible to make a new thread every time a topic veered off course, but the discussion being had spanned almost 3 pages. That's the majority of the thread. It's a perfectly legitimate discussion, but it's on the wrong thread.

And Charleston, lighten up. It was a WICKED pun.

A discussion thread about Wicked always has this ability to spiral out of control.

Soundtracks or cast recordings?
