luvtheEmcee

I fell in LOVE with this picture...because of Adam, Julia...and my favorite that you can't see in my avatar... Sutton in the background lookin' really sad for some reason...she probably wishes she were Julia.

I'm gonna agree with Emcee on this one though, her amazing voice does make her more attractive...

I love Julia Murney. Period.

And out of the 10 or 11 - I don't know, I lost count - times I saw LENNON, she was out only once.

It should also be mentioned that that missed performance was the first time she's ever missed a performance in her entire professional career.

I love Julia, and already have my tickets for the Philly stop. She's just about the only performer who could get me to see WICKED again. re: Realization: Julia is gonna make one hot, green lady.

Julia is so talented and she's going to be fabulous in Wicked. I thought for a long time that she was perfect for the role and wondered why she hadn't done it. I wish I could go see her...

And, she is gorgeous.
There's a lot I am not certain of...

Well, judging from the Chess equity concert, she is a horrible improper belter...so everyone will love her.


I don't like improper belters...I was one...it's not pretty. Yeah for the Steph j. Blocks of the world.
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

(a) Actors' Fund, not Equity.

(b) I'm no singer, and yes, I am aware of the flaws in her technique, but please, don't be so quick like that -- give her a chance before you lump her in with those who are both so worshipped and attacked in loathing by the teenybopper Wicked fan insanity. This one is nothing like Shoshana.

Now, I know you did NOT just diss Julia and praise Stephanie at the same time.

If you'd like to open a can of Stephanie-Can-Do-But-Shouldn't, you let me know now!

If her technique is bad the Wicked score will eat her alive. Why don't you just wait and see before passing judgment so quickly. From what I heard and saw of her, I think she'll do quite nicely.

I don't know how many of you actually heard the interview she did with Jim Caruso but she mentioned getting tips from Eden such as practicing Defying Gravity with your feet together. The space on the cherry picker doesn't let you sing it any other way... there are little things like that we don't think about so a little benefit of the doubt is the least we can give the ladies who play this role.

re: Realization: Julia is gonna make one hot, green lady.

I love how you haven't even heard her sing the music in Wicked yet, but you're already making assumptions about how she'll perform. I heard Stephanie and was less than impressed, so if "proper belting" is what she's doing, maybe it's better that Julia doesn't have her "pretty" technique.

Never diss an Orangeman in my presence.

re: Realization: Julia is gonna make one hot, green lady.

I just think in GENERAL, it's really not cool to say things like that -- so definitive -- before they've even STARTED performing yet. I mean, give her a chance. It's not like she's some talentless bum. Saying stuff like that is kinda hurtful, even if the actor doesn't see your post. The internet allows stuff to travel REALLY fast.

Julia's going to blow roofs off around the country.

The end.

orangeskittles - I would like to eat you up with the purple and the red RIGHT now.

Seriously, Stephanie, to me, is less than underwhelming.

The part of Elphaba seems to work best in a rock belt. Something that isn't "technically correct."

It needs power. That's about all.

Julia is over-qualified if anything. I am excited for her!

This just proves we are all a bit biased.

I agree. But unfortunately that opens up the entire can of worms about how much people hate singers who don't sing with exactly proper technique, etc, even if they manage just fine, and how everyone should be a "technically correct" singer or they shouldn't be on Broadway and how the elitist hate rock belts....

*breathes*

Don't. Diss. Julia.

What most people like is improper belting, I admit, it sounds cool HOWEVER not after about a month of doing so.

I'm merely saying that I believe (in my humble opinion) that Julia is a improper belter, meaning people who enjoy such will adore her. I, however, hearing every bit of pain and seeing every muscle in her neck and jaw tense up from the screaming that she is actually doing, will only be able to think of the damage that is being done to her voice. MY opinion, no one has to agree with it :)

Whether you like Stephanie or not, I adore her, I think she is one of the most amazing performers I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot kids, I'm no wicked teeny...). She has a healthy sounding beautifully power voice, as well as an amazing character development that I have not seen from any of the other Elphabas I have seen. JMO!

and yes, Actor's Fund...excuse me.

How come people LIKE JULIA can make it work, then? She's been belting her brains out for how long? And she can handle 8 shows a week. Maybe she's better than you think she is.

P.S. you're judging on the video of ONE performance? huh.

Bso, have I told you lately that I love you? re: Realization: Julia is gonna make one hot, green lady.

It's not about "sounding cool" or we're a bunch of immature kids with no perspective for not having your obviously vast experience in witnessing vocal performance. Did you ever consider that maybe the rest of have heard more of her than just the Chess Actors' Fund Benefit, so we're more equipped to judge than you are? Just a thought.
