wonderfulwizard - I'm not a Wicked fan, but the line "...punished, but good!" DOES make sense grammatically. It means punished thoroughly.

Patronus... i agree with the Benny Collins dialouge... i thought for the longest time that they hooked up after Angels funeral. It was just a poorly written part.



must say worst line that ruins a bad show already "For the first time i feel Wicked."

'Nessa I've got something to confessa' or what ever it if from Wicked. I also cringe whenever I hear Idina sing the last word of 'Wizard and I', it sounds like she is saying 'The Wizard and Lie'.
I do actually like 'Wicked', it is just there are a few awful / cheesy moments.
OH, and "I'll call, I hate the fall" from Rent- urgh! Why must it rhyme?

I think the delivery is what makes it cheesey. It's usually sung, "Nessa, I've got something to confessa..." when being sung, "Nessa, I've got something to confess. A reason..." separating the confess and "a," it might make it less obvious and cheesey.

Yeah, maybe I am just an easy mark, but I like it sung like that.

Personally, I'd probably singing, "Nessa, I've got something to confessaaaaaah reason why..." holding out the "aaaaah" and putting a strong emphasis on the beginning of reason.

It'd actually be kind of cute if Nessa laughed and Boq wink winked it.

I can see how it would both people though.

Oy the Carousel line...yuck. I do love the Wicked line about feeling wicked...as well as the Dirty Dancing "baby in the corner line"!

My most cringe-worthy line hasn't been mentioned yet (and is also from RENT):

After La Vie Boheme...the AZT beepers go off.

Roger: You?
Mimi: Me. You?
Roger: Mimi.

UGH. I have to roll my eyes every time I listen to it or watch it. I will not be sad to watch that little bit of recitative leave the movie version.
