Lea Michelle America the Beautiful — Page 2

IMHO, she sounded fine! Sure, she's a little dramatic vocally, but that's what she does.

she's a snoooooze fest of a singer and overrated. people blow smoke up her a$$. stop drinkin the kool-aid people. and DUH yes its all name recognition and i wasnt pointing that out as a revelation fool. was pointing out that it was certainly NOT for her singing which many people for whatever reason think is good.

Well, I certainly wouldn't call her ugly! That's a little harsh. just sayin'

Well enough is about all a person can do in a cavernous domed football stadium singing America the Beautiful live. Unfortunately for you, whateverman, Christina Aguilera gave the world a disastrous performance against which Lea sounded like an heavenly angel.

You're not getting any traction on this. Stop trying to make it happen.

idiots. no points for singing it LIVE. thats what skilled singer do!!! GET IT?

The reason why they often don't sing live is because they are unable to hear themselves, due to the delay on the microphones. It has nothing to do with what skilled singer [sic] do!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure somebody who joined three years after somebody else gets to kick the person off the board.

"You'd be surprised."

Maybe I would. I've heard some negative whispers about Lea as a person but I don't really put much thought into. To me she's a stranger and I just don't have the energy to put into hating strangers. I guess I'll just never get the level of hate people can have for someone they don't even know. And not just Lea.

I'm glad everyone is confirming that she sang live because my roommate swears up and down it was pre-recorded.

I actually think Lea has a great voice, but this performance shows how much her voice has become affected by GLEE. Too many pop-isms that did nothing musically or dramatically, poor vowels, and her tone was off several times. And that sophomoric arrangement did nothing to heighten the song, or her performance.

I do give her and Christina props for singing live, but it's moments like these (I'm looking at you, Christina) that make you realize pre-recording these things is actually a good idea.

And I also think Christina's voice is like manna from heaven. Just the voice. Not the excessive riffs.

I usually think Lea Michele has a nice voice, but this was utterly painful to me!

"she did an excellent job!"

Didn't you promise to leave forever as soon as Women On The Verge closed? At least have the decency to start a new screen name. If you're going to be a troll, at least be a troll with integrity.

Why the hate? This is what happens when a theatre actor goes mainstream. "Theatre people" hate on them.
