"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 6/6/04 at 10:33pmWhat on earth was that rendition meant to evoke? I love that song and her music style just wasn't appropriate.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Posted: 6/6/04 at 10:34pmSo, think that inspired her fans and the greater "younger generation" to go see a Broadway show?

I do love Mary J. but didn't care for that song at all. (And it's one of my alltime fav showtunes)
Regardless, I do hope that it inspired some kid out there to maybe pick up a cast recording because she appeared on the show tonight.

But it didn't take much to beat Idina tonight.
MJB had more vibratto in her arms than in her voice. Oy vey.

Posted: 6/7/04 at 12:24amWhile I maybe a newbie to the scene, I still like to think I have a good overall musical ideal, and while I have seen songs butchered much worse than Ms. Blige did tonight, I can't help but think that it wasn't her fault, while a very good R&B singer... R&B doesn't rely on stage presence nor verbratto. Good Idea to bring in young veiwers, but a failure at keeping loyalists satisfied, even fledgling ones like myself.
You, you are the worst thing to happen to musical theater since Andrew Lloyd Webber... and you I just don't like you.
