Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:03pmI'd love to see Clay in a revival of La Cage or perhaps in a Charles Busch classic.

I've said it once and I'll say it again -- I'd cut off my leg to hear Kelly Clarkson sing Defying Gravity.

Clay Aiken should never set foot on a Broadway stage.
Ever.

Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:06pmI don't think Clay has a powerful enough voice for Broadway, but Kelly would be fantastic! I would love to see her as Elphaba, but I don't know about her acting abilities....

Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:18pmYes, Kelly as Elphaba and Clay will be Glinda!! Just joking, How about Frenchie Davis as Glinda? I'll bet she would ROCK doing "Popular"! Maybe she wont punch sleeping babies in the faces anymore then?

Kelly would kick ass on the songs, but I don't know about her vocal stamina. She might be able to pull off a six-show week.
I don't know about her acting, but let's face it: Wicked ain't Medea.
And IMHO, there's a big BIG difference between having Joe Mantello (and/or one of his sidekicks) put you into a show and getting acting tips from the guy who directed the piece of garbage "From Justin to Kelly."

why don't reunite all of the season one cast! kelly as elphaba, tamyra as glinda (will there ever be a black glinda?), justin as fiyero, nikki mckibbon as nessa, rj helton as boq. paula as morrible, simon as the wizard and randy as dr dillamond. it would be so much fun! maybe they could do a made for tv special!
or not.
i actually do think kelly clarkson is talented though.

"How about Frenchie Davis as Glinda?"
How about French Stewart as Elphaba? Then Wicked might acually be watchable.

Kelly would make a great Elphaba or Maureen.
Clay? No thanks.

Posted: 1/10/06 at 10:23pmI think this thread is ridiculous, but I do like Kelly Clarkson a lot. There would be better roles for her to make her Broadway debut in. Stick her in a fat suit and she'd be a decent Tracy in "Hairpsray".

"a great elphaba or maureen"
I can kinda see clay as jack too.
#23re: Kelly Clarson as Elphaba
Posted: 1/10/06 at 10:32pmI would just like to hear her No Good Deed and Defying Gravity, but I bet her Good Morning Baltimore and I Can Hear the Bells would be great too.

Wow! A Clay Aiken gay joke? Who came up with that? Kringas was that you? You're a comedic genius! Oh my genitals how funny you are.
Yes, I think Clay and Kelly can both sing and maybe even both have the vocal chops to hold up for 8 performances a week. I dont think either of them can act nearly well enough to perform on a broadway stage. I vaguely remember Clay singing with Heather Headley at one point, and I think I enjoyed that. But no acting please.
I'd like to hear Kelly sing Defying Gravity though.
I'd like to hear Clay sing some broadway material too. Just to see if he can.
