Posted: 5/14/12 at 10:15amI have never seen Wicked - does Elphaba require a 'minnie mouse' voice?

Posted: 5/14/12 at 10:16am...and I want to play quarterback for the NY Jets. Frankly, I have a better chance of realizing my dream.

Posted: 5/14/12 at 10:49amHer singing voice reminds me of Madonna's, which is kind of perfect for Rock of Ages, but, Wicked, not so much.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 5/14/12 at 11:26amFunny you should say Madonna and that I never made the connection. A friend of mine has ALWAYS said that Madonna singing sounds like Minnie Mouse.

Posted: 5/14/12 at 1:02pmI could actually sort of imagine her voice working for Galinda, although they'd surely have to lower the keys.

Posted: 5/14/12 at 1:19pmIf Madonna can play Eva, then Julianne can play Elphaba. They just will autotune the crap out of her so she can hit the money notes. No one knows what real singing sounds like anymore anyway, so its all good.

Posted: 5/14/12 at 1:33pmWho cares about the singing? She can't act her way out of a paper bag. There are probably ten real actresses who are bigger names than she is that I'd rather see in the part.

Looks like the Wicked film will be out in 2017. She's such an industry insider, that Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend/beard.
#11Julianne Hough Wants to Play Elphaba in Wicked Film
Posted: 5/14/12 at 2:22pmI wish they would stop trying to make her happen. She's awful in Rock of Ages. Awful. Her acting stinks as much as her auto-tuned singing. I don't really care who plays Elphaba in the Wicked movie, I'm just tired of this girl and her lack of any discernible talent.

Her voice is pretty cute. Obviously not Elphaba, but she should do fine in ROA.

Posted: 5/14/12 at 3:19pmI'm a fan of her's, but I can't picture her in that role.
#19Julianne Hough Wants to Play Elphaba in Wicked Film
Posted: 5/14/12 at 3:47pmJulianne is a talented dancer but she is a terrible actress. Plus her being tired of doing so many musicals at the moment is just laughable! Like any of us would ever mistake her for a talented musical theater actress.

Posted: 5/14/12 at 4:02pmJP2 - I've seen RoA and she isn't great, not even passable. I do not get her. At all.
