Rosie is really bringing in the performances, isn't she? A very touching segment...the young girl affected with CF is a musical theatre fan. Her favorite musical is Rent, so her and Rosie sing the opening together...then the cast walks out behind them.

Very touching.

Yes, I thought they almost were not on. It was touching and sweet. If only Barbra could have done the solo in the end.

She was probably saving up for actual performances.

Were there some lyric mess-ups with male solo?

I actually teard up and cried a bit when the girl gave the little scream when she realized the cast was behind her.

Has Frenchie changed that solo up a bit or does anyone thing she was holding back a bit because it was, as mentioned above, early. Didn't really care too much what she did with it. But I can't hit those notes so all in all, it was a very nice and very touching performance!! I loved the girls mother. She was really touched.

I'm not a crier but this did get to me. That little girl looked like she was totally over the moon (no punn intended). Her family looked touched and so did the cast. I think they sounded great . . . maybe Frenchie held back a little, but if you hadn't heard her live I think you would have been blown away (the young girl seemed to be!) by what notes she did hit. Marcus also sounded great. I thought it was a very nice thing they did for her. And if you read Jaime's myspace blog you will see how touched she was by the whole thing as well.

Maybe some of that green is gonna come off! -Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch! -I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. -Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say. -Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular! -Bed made, room straightened. We've done that. -Colors blended. Oookay. -But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile." ~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

I teared up watching that. She was so happy! Such a touching moment.

And um, the cast is singing for a little girl who's a big fan, they came to sing as a touching surprise, not to show off a soloist. :-p.

I loved the look on the girl's face when they came out behind her. ok enough I'm getting teary again, *sigh*

When it is on "The Site" someone please give me a link!

"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."

The pure and honest joy coming from the girl and her parents, and the cast, brought tears to my eyes...most beautiful thing I've seen on TV morning shows in a LONG time.

I thought it was wonderful.

And I really didn't think Frenchie sounded bad. She didn't go all out, but it was probably for the better... she was, afterall, standing right next to the little girl's ear.

Yeah, I totally taped this, but I forgot it comes on an hour early now, so I only saw the very end of it when they were saying goodbye. Someone please post this online if you taped it. I gotta see it!

At first when I found out Rent was going to be on the show, I thought, "What the hell? Why?" but when I saw segment, I, like many of you, cried like a baby. Very touching. This is just one of the reasons I respect Rosie so much.

OK, I'm a little behind...I didn't get around to watching this until just now. It was a lot nicer than I expected (and informative too--I know a couple of people with CF and wasn't aware of some of the things they have to do every day).
