be sure and vote now!
Before people cast their votes, we need to make sure people know what the Grammy for best cast album is actually for - it's not about the best music, people. We know you all love Idina and think Kristin is the second coming of christ, but it's not about the score - it's the whole package - just make sure you know what you're voting for!
With that said, I would vote for THE BOY FROM OZ.

My vote goes to Ave. Q
Wicked, but I'm sure Avenue Q will win it!

Ave Q...
The only thing that makes Wicked "good" is "Defying Gravity".

Wow, I'm shocked that WICKED is winning by an overwhelming amount.
Yes, DEFYING GRAVITY is decent - but this award is NOT BASED ON THE SCORE. People don't get that - that's why this poll is irrelevant.
Wait, I'm dense. The score isn't relevant for "Best cast album"? So what's the criteria?
"but this award is NOT BASED ON THE SCORE. People don't get that - that's why this poll is irrelevant. "
The poll isn't irrelevant. The criteria by which people vote may be "incorrect", but irrelevant is the wrong word choice I believe.

of course wicked has the most votes, have you SEEN the message board. The dereanged, border line psychotic 12 year olds have over run and create hundreds of threads about wicked. that show needs their own message board. i logged in here the other day and my jaw literally dropped -- EVERY thread I saw was about WICKED.. and half of them were the same damn thing.
Even though I'm blocked from bg2, I'd like to point out that they DO have their own message board (multiple boards, in fact), yet they choose to over-run this board to drive everyone else INSANE. Isn't there a limitation clause to freedom of speech??
Assassins.

priest, assassins has a great score and a wonderful recording, but I think Q's is the most 'listenable'.
Don't you bring logic into this.

hahahaha.. down boy. lol. You may be adorable, but i can out bitch you any day.
i'm going to have to vote for Wicked
This is the same thing that I posted on the comments where the actual poll is but I think does some justice over here too.
I didn't even need to look at the key to know what the GIANT yellow section was. I'm sorry but Wicked is not the best recording out of these 5. Not even close. Ok I feel better now.

It's a freaking internet poll. Of course the most popular choice is going to win. No need to get your knickers in a twist.
At the risk of sounding like a tool, I still don't understand what the criteria is for judging "Best cast album". If the score is irrelevant, than what are we to judge it by?

Album cover :p
Oh, then BFO wins - Hugh Jackman thrusting....
I made a random suggestion (request) to Rob and asked him to delete all the Wicked posts for one day!!!
But then there would be 3 threads!
Mmm...nice...easier to manage.
I know what you mean, but Rob seemed to get a kick out of my request.
BG2, there was no out-bitching being attempted.
