actually, I have to say, there were a lot of lyrics in the show that I DID like. Sure, call it cheesy, whatever you like, but I think once upon a time is just a great song all around :) and hey, even if the story and lyrics arent the best at points (and I'm not disagreeing, at certain points it can get really stupid- but I'm just saying even the lyrics DO have a couple strong points here and there), a show overall isn't just about the story and lyrics. It's the story, lyrics, songs musically, acting, singing, and overall feeling you have as you walk out of the theater right? I mean, thats always basically how I've judged musical shows. So, going by that,For BKLYN I'd give the story a C, the lyrics a B- (thought some were great, others were admitedly really.. not good), songs musically an A, acting an A (I thought eden and ramona both did an AMAZING job acting and performing), singing an A+ for sure, and overall feeling an A- :) Obviously thats totallly just my personal opinion and everyone else is perfectly entitled to theirs, but basically, I thought it equalled out to a pretty darn awesome show.
And I really am impressed that so many people are so impressed with Diana. She MUST have improved greatly from idol, because although she always did have a really good voice, I NEVER really would have thought to put it in the same league as Eden's from what I'd heard on idol! And.. I dont know.. on idol, there was kinda always something about her that.. annoyed me a lil bit. Just, I felt like she mumbled or something a lot of the time. But I really do want to hear her now, cause its been a while and I bet shes gotten a lot lot better!
And as for the people saying eden screams, I can totally understand where that idea comes from in theory- like, I can hear how to some people it COULD sound like screaming, but.. I dont know, to me it just makes her seem even more amazing haha. Like, I feel like that "screaming" quality in her voice in just because she's SUCH a powerhouse and she just gives it all she's got, which also contributes to her affect as a performer. Then again, I'm also the one who feels like Idina's "huge gasps" that everyone talks about actually contributes to her acting in Wicked since naturally at that point elphie is exited and nervous and WOULD be a little bit out of breath. But thats a whole other debate :) just sayin though, i tend to have wierd opinions on these things hehe
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
Broadway is healthy with the calibre of these two ladies.
