The LuPone loving/hating freaks

I just read someone's hijacking of another thread to attack Patti and I realized something.

All you Patti-haters are absolutely correct that there is a hysteria to the Patti-lovers who are absolutely out of control right now, ranting and raving every which way as the days dwindle down to Tony Sunday and their beloved diva is either crowned or, in theirs eyes, slapped in the face.

The odd thing, though, is how passionate the Patti-haters are right now. It's one thing to hate her and even post about it, but the constant jumping on to even tangentially related threads to disparage LuPone is almost as obsessive as the behavior of her fans.

I think it's all fun/funny.

I agree. LuPone fetishism makes Obama-mania look like nothing. It scares me.

Patti LuPone is the sun, the moon and the stars!

LOL I am a confirmed LuPone-lover!

I was just pointing out that, as Patti-fans, our passion is understandable - perhaps misguided, but it make sense in context of our worship for La Divina as opposed to the fierce hatred on the other side... Why are the haters SO passionate. I abhor lots of Broadway performers, but I don't go out of my way to bash them.

No Joey, that's Peter Pan.

I don't "hate" Patti, since I do not know her on a personal level. But I do not enjoy listening to her sing or watching her act, I find it annoying.

I am reminded once again what grade school was like.

Yes today's Ethel Merman another performer I cannot stand lol

edit* I'm at 820 posts...geez this Broadway Legend thing is taking FOREVER! Well, it means I will appreciate it all that much more because I worked for it!
