Footage of him in Hairspray and a quick interview with La Bass on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD tonight (thursday). Check your local listings. About 12 minutes into the broadcast.
thanks SB!
You've seen the raw footage- how is he?
Is the filmed portion from his opening night or his two "Trial Run's?"

I hope it's from his opening night - he wasn't very good when the press reels were filmed, but he's improved immensely since then...
Hard to say, it might be opening night. He seems kinda bland, sorry to say.
Bland is something I have always associated with Lance Bass.
I just don't care for his voice more than anything, and if the rumors are true he sounds like a jerk
Here's the link to the clip that aired:

They only play short bursts of his performance so you don't realize how bad he is.
"and the whole coming out experience." DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
I think the ET segment showed more of his singing.
Either way, NICEST KIDS' sounds so different.
I too noticed gloomy horror music they played when Lance mentioned coming out. Haha!
I think the "Hairspray" clip sounded pretty good.
I saw him his opening night and I was really happy with how he did and I'm picky about my Hairspray cast members! Maybe it's because I've loved him for over 8 years, but I was pleasantly surprised by his vocal ability. I never thought he'd be able to pull off those two songs with that bass! I think you can tell he's really happy to be up there on that stage!

I have no pre-existing feelings about Bass either way, but I wasn't impressed with what I saw in the clips. He looked really stiff, and (to my eyes, anyway) visibly nervous. I'm chalking it up to a case of the jitters. If he has truly improved since then, great! I'd like to see him do well.
