Jennifer Lopez - Mimi — Page 2

Ahahahaha

---

she's too much of a diva....and Mimi is supposed to be skinny.....people would trip over JLo's butt.......

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Just the title of this thread is enough to make me shake my head while trying not to vomit. J.Lo is an extremely weak singer and a diva in all of the negative connotations of the word. I'd prefer she stay as far from Broadway as possible.

This is a very interesting discussion....

I actually can ALMOST see this. Of all the pop-stars she is probably the clostest thing to a triple threat & the most determined & hard-working... so she might just be able to pull this off.

However... I'm one of those 'theater snobs' who really doesn't like pop stars invading broadway (unless they're friggen incredible). J-Lo's great but I'm not even sure if she can hit the notes in Out Tonight, let alone while dancing, kicking & swinging around the set. Since I don't think she could handle the singing & I'd rather not have a pop-star I'm gonna go with "NO"

But I would actually really like to see her perform 'Out Tonight', even if she lip-synced it. Maybe in a benefit concert or something*

She's not even close to a triple threat. She may be the worst singer to record since William Hung.

Some of you need to give me a break. Some are making it sound like Mimi is some kind of role that holds a huge prestige in the Broadway community - I don't think so.

Comparing Jenny to William Hung is pretty ridiculous. I firmly believe she can hold a tune, and I have heard her sing live.

No one can take away the fact that she can DANCE her ass off.

Sure, she can dance, but after the horror that was hers and her hubby's performance at the Grammy's last year, no way would I want to see her on a Broadway stage. It sounded like she was struggling to stay in tune. As far as her acting goes: can we say "Gigli"? eww...
If she ever took the part of Mimi, it would be what I see as "stunt casting". I hate when a Broadway show does that... I prefer paying to see someone that can actually sing and act, not just because they are "famous". There are so many highly talented people trying to get their spot on Broadway... having to take a backseat to a big name lacking in talent, shouldn't happen, IMO.

I believe there are triple threats in the Hollywood and Music industry. Jenny might not be one.

But I know the late Aaliyah was indeed one. She had a fabulous well trained singing voice. She trained in acting, and was a well trained dancer. She showed GREAT acting potential in ROMEO MUST DIE and QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. By the time she died she had 7-8 movie deals in the works. Which is a shame. I believe she would've been on Broadway eventually. She was VERY close to landing the role of Aida, but Headley beat her for the role, I believe they felt Heather's overall look was better for the character.

Such a shame we lost such a talent, who would've showed off she was a triple threat on Broadway eventually.

If she wanted to play the role and committed to doing it I wouldn't really have a problem with it, but she's not exactly the kind of actress who seems to take a lot of chances with her choices.
