Wow. Go Idina. She's signing with a major label.

Good for her, I'm excited.

Hopefully they'll keep her, unlike when she was dropped from Hollywood.

I wonder if Shoshana will be pissed.

Shoshana and other Broadway performers are dying for a major record deal like this.

Winning a Tony, and making you way in movies, sure helps.

I loved STILL I CAN'T BE STILL, I hope she can do another innovative album like that now.

wow meagan, that comment was completely unnecessary and just shows your high immaturity level.

anyways, i'm very excited for idina! Updated On: 10/6/05 at 12:29 PM

She's just stating her opinion. If it echoed yours you wouldn't have a problem with it.

Sorry Benzy, I have no respect for Shoshanna...most people know that. Not only is her singing sub-par, but she's rude, and has a crappy attitude.

I hope Idina does well with WB---she has a lot of talent!

I must say I like Shoshana's singing...and I like Idina's as well and I'm happy that she got a BIG record deal..she deserves it.

megan9848.....would happened to make you say all of this about Shoshana?

There are so many girls out there who could sing AND act Elphaba better than Shoshanna. Her tone is horrible, she screams her songs, I got chills from her "Defying Gravity" for all the wrong reasons. The comments she's made to people are also a total turn off. She is by far the worst Elphaba I've seen out of the bunch...

Why would Shoshana be pissed? She just signed her own deal with Pure records.

[meagan9848]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 12:53pm

...and when I ever hear of Pure records in the mainstream industry, I'll let you know.

You've gotta start somewhere.

Go Idina!

It's still so surreal to watch this happen before our eyes.

I hear that Emcee.

It'll be exciting if she really makes it big.

I can be like, I knew her when she was an egotistical lesbian...

I'm sort of waiting for someone to scoop Adam up and steal him away.

But I know I shouldn't think of it that way, because if it's what he wants, the who am I to say no? Go get 'em, Adam.

Yay for Idina, I wish her all the success in the world. Hopefully Warner Records will treat her right- Hollywood was stupid to drop her.

And what was the point of bringing Shoshana-hatred into a thread about Idina's singing career? This has nothing to do with the portrayal of Elphaba, so just let it go.

[meagan9848]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 1:13pm

I know, I've had those feelings too, I totally understand what you're saying.

IF she does get big (or if Adam gets big) I'll miss the intimate gigs and storytelling.

:)

EVERYTHING has to do with Elphaba. Duh.

Exactly. I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'd miss the intimate spaces, and the silly sentimenal things. I've been torn about the idea since they were cast, though.

She has deserved this since her first CD came out (and before then. And then when they DROPPED her...). I'm so proud of her. This made my day. :)

FINALLY!

A new CD is just what we need.

Now, let's hope they record SWIWS.
