Posted: 7/25/05 at 10:53amI am a Melanie Griffith fan, perhaps the only one, but that comment made me die a little inside.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 10:54amI guess she should audition for Contact or Movin' Out or the new Dylan show.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 11:09amShe can't even dance. When she was in Chicago they had to change the steps!!!!

Um...
Alright, you all KNOW how I feel about her...
Her dancing is quite possibly worse than her singing. I know, I know, that could be a stretch, but really.... I think it might actually be worse. Ann butchered that choreography SO badly just to make it easy enough for Melanie and even THAT was too hard...
I just... yeah... I can't deal with her no talent self.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 1:02pmThat article was sooooo bad! I've always like her screen work but she did not do well in Chicago. I still think she's adorable.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 2:37pmSure she does ok in film !The longest anyone has to perform in film is 10 minutes since that is the length of a canister of film. And nobody usually goes that far either.

Did anyone see her do Chicago? I heard that she lip synched or had another women sing for her while she was on stage..and it was from a actually tv show like Dateline or something...maybe I imagined it...but is that true??
She annoys the crap out of me either way...
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

Posted: 7/25/05 at 4:35pmI have to say that hers was one of the most embarassing performances I have ever witnessed-but I was like a nervous parent watching their child, hoping that they would at least make it through. Wonder if she was in denial about how awful she was. Her Nowadays was touching-and she fit the part to a tee as far as a no talent dreaming of making it in show biz. She was so amateurish- but god love her- she sold out for her entire run.
#14re: Melanie Griffith doesn't like doing 'singing musicals'
Posted: 7/25/05 at 4:44pmOkay, so I never saw her in Chicago. BUT I loved her to death in Working Girl, and she actually reminded me of Shirley in the Sweet Charity movie. Am I the only one who saw this 'connection'?

Brantley gave her a rave review for it, too. He said something like "now we finally have a Roxie as untalented as Roxie should be."

The one and only time I saw Chicago was with Melanie and it hurt so bad that I don't want to go back! JK. She was awful but Deidre Goodwin and Brent Barrett more than made up for it. And we got a very funny FB spoof of her, too.
