LOL. The thread is titled Idina Menzel, not Wicked, and the original poster didn't even mention Idina's theatre work, let alone Wicked. Can you read? That's a lovely little rant on Wicked, Perfectly Marvelous, and I'm certainly no fan of the show, but Idina Menzel does not equal Wicked.
The funny thing about this thread is that I can't even remember the last time a thread was started about Idina Menzel, so I'm not sure what the problem is. If you hate Menzel and clicked on this thread just to pick on a young fan, I'm more inclined to laugh at you than the original poster. These days, Menzel is hardly the over-discussed topic on this board--and even if it was, get over it and get a life. It's so much more pathetic to see people obsessing over some young theatre fan's enthusiasm for a show than it is to see the enthusiasm, no matter how overzealous, itself. Wow, way to try and attack me! I appreciate it, really I do.
And yes, sweetheart, I
can read. The problem is, when you bring up Menzel, you also are going to, at some point, bring up
Wicked. Obviously, I know she has done more than that, and I certainly don't despise her simply for her role or show choices. Actually, I have nothing against any of the actors who were or are currently in
Wicked.
The fact is, every day on here and other musical related forums, people are getting attacked far worse than my simple "opinion" towards a particular matter. So if you want to critize me of being a cynical old twat with no compassion towards younger members, then go ahead and do so, no one's stopping you.
I sincerely apologize that my craptastic day that day let me ruin what might have been an otherwise pleasant thread. In the future, I will reserve my comments until I am in a better state mentally and physically.
One last note -
I truly do not have any grudge against people who like Idina. I've stated it before and I will say it again, I do not despise the woman at all. Honestly, if you asked for my opinion on her, I would say she's a talented lady. Not saying I love her to pieces but I think she
is talented.
There. I'm done. No more will you have to deal with the horrible, cynical beast known to many as Perfectly Marvelous.
