I thought Constantine Maroulis sounded great. I have never seen him sing anything from this show.

Rock of Ages has an unfair edge: anyone can make "Don't Stop Believing" an amazing number.
So that was Amy Spanger? I thought I recognized her (yes, I know next to nothing about this show).

I agree about "Don't Stop Believin'", skittles. (You should be on AIM!)

so, they are going to "list" who awards that they dont care about but without them there would be no show but present shows currently playing on Broadway that were nominated years ago??? Mamma Mia? Jersey Boys coming up?????
Ratings fall... back to the Lakers...

I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

Note to self: Add Rock of Ages to the list with the tour of Mama Mia, of shows not to see.

I thought the Rock of Ages performance, well, rocked! It showcased what the show's all about and I thought they executed it really well.

Missed opportunity: Don't Stop Believin', cut to James Gandolfini, and....out.

Constantine's voice sounded great in that number. And thus far I thought Rock of Ages had the best performance of the evening. I'll admit, it looks pure-crack-filled-with-no-plot-fun if I could get a cheap ticket to it. I think it will appeal to many folks, though, and really, that's all they can ask for.
Late, but yay to N2N for score.

I have no idea what Lotte was trying to say but it's nice to know this awful show is being broadcast internationally.
So far the Rock of Ages performance has looked like the only one tonight that might get some people to go to see a show.

The Liza thing scared me personally for Liza. I thought he might hump her...

Rock of Ages is fun. And that's all it's trying to be which is great. I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm sorry, but I love ROCK OF AGES. It's just plain fun. Broadway always needs a show like this. It would be boring if all of the shows were the freaking same.

I enjoyed the ROA performance! I loved seeing the "lighters" in the audience; I was holding mine up in my room. I have yet to see a televised performance of theirs that I really love, but maybe it's just because I don't think the songs work as well out of context? I don't know. Seeing the show is such a unique experience and I just don't think it's really represented well on TV.
