Just seen some Broadway shows.. some opinions... — Page 2

Belting a high F isn't impressive if it's tense.

That's because Kristin is smart. NO ONE should be belting a high F, ever! It's dangerous, and it doesn't sound good. If Idina would let it float into a head voice, it would be even more amazing.

Yeah, cause you know Idina wrote Defying Gravity. It's all her fault.

I agree with aspriringguy. She has had very careful training with belting and she wouldn't still be doing it after 6 months if she wasn't doing it correctly. I also agree that you just can't compare Idina and Kristin's singing...they are both very talented and very different.

I saw four shows that will be up for Tony nominations. I may not have seen Assassins, Bombay Dreams, Taboo or Wonderful Town, but these are the four main contenders - in particular in the actress catergory. You don't have to see every show to be able to draw Tony opinions.

"You don't have to see every show to be able to draw Tony opinions. "

Indeed why should you know all the facts to have an opinion. Good for you for making your mind up on who should win out of dozens of performances based on seeing two or three that are eligible. Why should you see each performance that may be nominated when you can base who should win on viewing two or three shows?

Totally agree with you about Norbert.

It virtually impossible to see every Tony nominated play or musical, especially in the case of the Olivier awards, but you can still make accurate guesses. I'll tell you what, Lee - if Kristin Chenoweth and Tonya Pinkins don't get nominated for Tonys, I will give you £5.
