Posted: 10/25/06 at 11:38amThey are joining The View already in progress. So, assuming that they put the performance off until the end, it'll still be shown.

Can that even be considered dance?
That's possibly the most atrocious and embarrassing thing I've ever seen....and I hope Michael can actually, you know, hit the keys during the show.

Michael is very sick. I talked to him last night. He NAILS them in the show. I wouldnt take what you saw too much into consideration.

Posted: 10/25/06 at 11:56amI caught the last ten seconds. It looked...interesting. Is it a cirque do soliel style dance? At least Michael Arden was amazing in his singing role...but that guitar was hideous...
"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."

PLEASE don't tell me that that is what actually happens on stage.
It was absolutely deplorable. Could anyone else NOT understand a single word out of Arden's mouth? He didn't sing the song in his normal inflection or tone. He sounded like he was trying to sound like Melissa Etheridge.

Posted: 10/25/06 at 11:57amNot a word, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, since, he's sick, apparently.

Posted: 10/25/06 at 11:58amPerhaps a reschedule would have been a good move.

Posted: 10/25/06 at 12:00pmI also had a bit of a hard time understanding him, but at the same time, I think he showed quite a bit of stage presence.

Posted: 10/25/06 at 12:08pmI watched it, fortunately the conference was over before the performance. I'm not that familar with Dylan's work but that curled lip thing Arden kept doing reminded me more of Elvis than anything else. And yeah, didn't sound great but it helps knowing he was sick. I try not to judge a show based on just one song's performance but I don't know if I could sit thru a while show if the whole show is like that.

Posted: 10/25/06 at 12:13pmI love Michael Arden, but his being sick had nothing to do with the fact that this number was embarrassing. My partner and I were too appalled at the entire number to notice he was not at his best. This appearance had made us NOT want to see this show and we love Bob Dylan's music. We're really disappointed!

Posted: 10/25/06 at 12:14pmI love Bob Dylan, but the song was utterly unrecognizable.
