If you guys want to start an American Idol catfight, let me ask in advance that you take it to PMs or the OT board.

It was a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE idea to make Kelly Clarkson's fim debut a beach movie. Let's face it, she has the figure of the average non-movie-actress American girl. In other words, her thighs and butt are a bit larger than ideal. They had to try to make her look good, which isn't easy when you are surrounded by dancers with perfect bodies.

They should have come up with a Civil War story and kept her in hoopskirts. LITTLE WOMEN, maybe?

Sorry I got angry before guys lol... I just love my Kelly.

o.k plum...

but i would like to reply to Elvis post i just saw then that will be it..

it is applicable also!

i have no problem if people like kelly, but some folks don't consider her humble!

the comment about Justin speaking up to simon on ai-1 well i had no issue with it cause simon called Justin a girl basically and had been doing everything to get Justin off the show he wanted the finale to be tamyra and kelly!

simon even blackballed Justin after the show..and many other ex-idol contestants as well..so i think Justin should have Punched simon in the face to be honest i would have! but he is too nice and would never do this...darn!

Kim locke told simon off now i enjoyed that very much! and i wish Justin did that too!
but all he really said was let the audience decide after simon called him a girl basically that would hurt any straight guy and justin is straight!

i would love to see Idol Celebrity Boxing and have Simon have to Box Ex male and or female contestants! kim locke and simon would be fun to watch battle it out she is very vocal for her dislike of simon he sure wanted her off that show also!

simon is an as..s hole he blackballs many of the contesants after he makes money off them on the show!

Justin does many charity events he was treated poorly and sadly took the abuse!

Justin does not deserve the bad rap he was given he is a very Kind person he just performed at Broadway rockers and Kitchen sink the guy has done more Charity events then any other IDOl contestant, so don't slam him as a Person he is has a Heart of GOLD!

i'm done...

Way way back many centuries ago, bjivie2 (I hope I got that name right) made some constructive suggestions for Ms. Clarkson that I thought were feasible. Like Mamma Mia! ... and of course RENT. I liked hearing those ideas. Kelly could do something in NY. Something original would be better. Maybe not FUNNY GIRL. But for one of you who asked when this pop star thing became a trend. It's been going on - on the Great White Way for a rrrrrrrreally long time. It's nothing new to me or New York.

She's a better choice than many many others.

peace. and I do understand all opinions/concerns about pop stars and/or the required talent for a role. Don't hit me please.

where did I say that?

JJ grow up and stop please. This is embarassing.

What an obscene idea

I'm astonished that so many people here speak of the role of Fanny Brice as if it were Lady MacBeth and of the show, "Funny Girl" as if it were something sacred. I saw "Funny Girl". It was far from a great show, and the role of Fanny Brice wasn't all that wonderful or even funny. And, lots of people were talking about the fact that Barbra Streisand was in the role because of her voice and her nose. Most people thought she couldn't act (I was one of them). I'm talking about most people sitting in the audience on the night I saw it! There has been some revisionist history going on here. People just wanted to hear her sing the songs. That's the way it was. I never heard a single soul go on about her acting.

'Funny Girl' to me at least is Sacred!

when i was a kid i saw the movie 'funny girl' with Barbara and i loved it and her she was soo funny and i beg to differ i felt she was a good actress i always enjoyed her sense of humor she brought to her movies!

the first song i ever sang when i was like 5 years old was 'People' uno how it goes..People, people you need people are the luckiest people in the world! i sang that song all the time when i was a kid!

Barbara was my first inspiration and exposure to Music her and Judy Garland in the wizard of oz ! i was 5 years old i loved them both!

Not only can't kelly even come close to singing Barbara's songs, Barbara does not ever scream her notes..

but i think it would be better if kelly did Not try to Tackle 'funny girl' to me it would only Hurt her career further..

i honestly would suggest to her a show that would not be too contraversial like maybe 'Annie get your gun' as i mentioned or something along those lines...there are many shows out there to choose from!

i do hope kelly does not even be considered for 'funny girl' i hate to see it ruined! it is Sacred for many Barbara fans...

it's like the Wizard of Oz there is no one that can live up to Judy garlands shoes!

I would suggest whomever they choose for Funny girl maybe be someone that is more Unknown to the public, and someone with a Better voice!

Kelly can sing, but she sure does yell/ scream and crack on her notes a lot also! she would have to improve her voice to even think about doing a Broadway show her voice always gives out when she sings too much she has Nodes i understand!

anyway...

oh well...

i never said i don't like kelly?

i may not be a big fan, but i actually voted for her and tamyra also many times on ai-1 along with justin too!

i did like kelly, if i did not like her at all i would never have watched the movie j2k and or watch ai-1 much just watch justin and change the channel...but i did watch all of ai-1 performances!

i may not worship her and i do think she does yell at times it would hurt my ears and i would say why does she do that she is talented! so that did bug me, but i don't dislike kelly as much as you might think!

she is young and she did not handle herself well after idol was over in inteviews! i do know how hard it is to be that young and there is always room to grow and mature!

just cause i may not like some things about kelly at times, does Not mean i fundamentally dislike her! she has some good qualities and not everyone is perfect!

so NO i don't hate kelly or dislike her to the point i would never watch her interview or sing a new song cause i do watch her performances on TV! her voice has improved she seems to be getting better vocal training !

see...

i do think kelly might have been good in Le miserable! seriuosly that might have been a good fit for her!

she has improved some on her voice recently, so i will give her some kudo's for working on her vocals! she has the talent to be an even better singer with the right vocal coaches! idol and rca had bad vocal coaching and she even got Nodes..

i think idol was telling the Idol Female contestants to Belt out their songs cause Kelly was not the only one doing this... Fantasia and Diana and many of the girls had what i call Yell fest!

so i can't blame it all on kelly, it really is the Idol Production folks wanting the girls to Belt out their songs! the whole Diva thing bugs me in general!

so it's a general issue with me that bugs me about Idol and the girls on idol! i much prefer singing when it is not belted out soo hard...

i love Celine dion she does not belt too hard and Barbara streisand and Judy garland did not belt it out...

but maybe it's clive davis wanting these Pop stars to Belt out their songs i'm not sure..

Kelly has talent and so did many of the Idol female contestants, but i just hope this year on a-4 the girls don't belt it out again my ears just can't handle it!

so i prefer the male singers on Idol over the female at this point mainly cause i have a hard time with Loud singing! it's not cause i don't like the girls they are in general all pretty nice kids!

i'm done!

who no's maybe kelly would do fine in 'funny girl' whom am i to judge...but she would need some work first to get to that level!

I am not lying when I say I nearly shed a tear....someone pass me the kleenex!
