Posted: 6/4/09 at 10:52amOh dear. I guess her voice is more suited to something like this, but she was out of her league when she tried to play Aida.

I agree with the yawn.
Beyonce and Kelly are talented, but she is just so dull.

Oh, this Michelle Williams! 
not this one 
since "The former Destiny's Child singer playing Roxie" was such old news I thought it was the other one.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 6/4/09 at 12:48pmYeah, I was kinda hoping for the real actress, too. Come back to the stage, Michelle!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Several people seemed to think she was quite good in The Color Purple.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

And I own her 1st contemporary gospel CD which I really like. And from what I understand, her 2 CD's very quietly did well on the gospel charts.
Just give the world Love. - S. Wonder

Posted: 6/4/09 at 1:03pmIf the OTHER Michelle Williams can sing and dance, I actually think she'd be a fascinating and fun choice to play Roxie. You listening Weisslers? :)

Posted: 6/4/09 at 1:34pmI thought it was the movie actress also - and got so excited, I think she could be great there.

I would much prefer the OTHER Michelle Williams.
She's one of Hollywood's most underrated actresses right now.

Acting-wise, yes. But, I found her vocals as Aida to be rather effortless. Williams' doesn't have a huge voice, but she did hit the money notes loud and true.
She was also a fairly competent Shug Avery. I'm sure she'll do little harm to the role of Roxie.
