Hugh Jackman, at the beginning of Somewhere... I liked that.
With Aretha Franklin however... not so much.

But Hugh made me reconsider my opinion that Somewhere should only be sung by a female with a high voice.

They should never do a duet again...

And what was that last note of Hugh's? (Nasty riff)

Poor Mr. Sondheim.
That was such a bad tribute to him.

They should have let Hugh sing it alone. Aretha's voice has seen better days. Maybe if she lost a couple a hundred pounds she'd be able to sing better.

I'm talking about Aretha and Hugh's assassination of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's classic "Somewhere".

Now, I love me some Aretha, just like the next fella but she sounded horrible. Hugh was fine but he did not make a good vocal blend with Franklin. It was off and very painful to watch and hear.

That was a horrible duet. Hugh and Aretha looked like they were competing rather than singing together. No interaction at all between them.

BTW, does everyone hate Spamalot? Jesus, it's like Wicked resentment all over again.

Wow, I still haven't recovered from that.
That was one of the worst performances I've ever seen at a Tonys telecast. Yuck.
Yeah, I think they should get rid of that new tradition.
First Mary J. Blige. And now this.
Ugh.

That Somewhere duet was completely pointless. I agree with whoever said the nominated shows can get more time if they don't do this ridiculous filler.

And I don't know if it was just a poor match-up but they sucked. Plus we've (TV viewers) had to listen to that song (lovely as it is when sung well) on practically every commercial.
