"Oh, no...I hated Diana...I really hope she doesn't ruin it. Hopefully she'll surprise me. "
You hope she doesn't ruin Brooklyn?
Since it's SO good as it is?
Anyway.. difference of opinions. I had to go do some downward dog after reading that, but I'm ok now.
She may have been good as Maria with her Soprano voice, but this is Brooklyn, which is an absurdly high belt/mix show.
It takes a real technician to be able to do this show for any amount of time.
I'm not worried about Melba. Have you heard I Got Love from Purlie? If her voice is have as high as it was back then, I'm sure she'll be just fine.
But DeGarmo... I have doubts.
I have... such.. doubts.
Personally, I think I have too much bloom.
