Not a surprise, but HOORAY for Geoffrey Rush! Love him.

Did we crash a server or something? lol.

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:16pm

Did BWW stop working for anyone else?


Anyway, Billy picked a horrible choice.

Neil is allowed to mock Piven as much as he wants; he's lost far too many Emmys to that putz.

Oy the Bring Out Your Dead segment.

did we break BWW? For like almost an hour

[shh282]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:16pm

something of that nature apparently!

[ZONEACE]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:17pm

yeah that billy number does not make the show look appealing. Plus, it looked like he was having a seizure and a leg cramp.

I had no idea Billy Elliot was about one boy's triumph over epilepsy.

Very frustrated. Local TV is covering a storm that is hundreds of miles away and am missing 75% of the program so far....

Was that El Muhammad or something?

[SNAFU]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:18pm

The site was briefly taken over but the Tony Broadcast sound man.

my thoughts exactly Zone

[SporkGoddess]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:18pm

What the heck was he yelling during that dance number? It sounded like "UH!"

[yay_gerb]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:18pm

sorry bww servers. i figured this would happen.

i actually thought that angry dance would be good beacuse when i saw the show it was really amazing. but for some reason that just didn't pull me in as it did when i saw it live. and what about only having 1 billy? i figured they'd put them all on.

[SweetQintheLights]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:18pm

I really thought, and had hoped, he was going to perform "Electricity"

Lenexajones, you're not missing much. Don't worry.

Kind of an odd choice for Billy. The Best Musical nominees have all performed unusual songs this year, with the possible exception of Rock of Ages (cause we all knew they could only really do a medley). Updated On: 6/7/09 at 10:19 PM

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:19pm

Welcome back everyone. Resume your bitching.

[jennamajig]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 10:19pm

Billy Elliot should have done Solidarity.

And yep, BW went down for me for over an hour as well.

The Billy segment was awful...it may actually hurt ticket sales. When you see the choreography up close you realize how bad it is.

Also, the In Memoriam segment was bad..the camera panned in ways you couldnt read some names....the camera man needs to be fired too..
