thats all i can think of right now

DRS-I am totally in the Norb love camp, as well as DRS, but I thought "Find your Grail" was actually quite good..and Tim Curry sounding like Frank N. Furter when he was speaking the words of the song, brought joy to my heart.

I thought that "Find your grail" for Spamalot was great... each of the performances were superb [minusing Christina Applegate in Sweet Charity and Aretha Franklin] and I loved the beginning of the Tonys where they had a little preview from each Broadway nominated.

and I 100% agree with MTVMANN... and I had mentioned it earlier:

My favorite moments from last night were the DRS, La Cage, and Spam performances, the opening bit with Billy Crystal and Hugh Jackman, Sara Ramirez, Mike Nichols, Norbert Leo Butz, and SpamAlot winning, and Hugh's performance of Someday.

I was disappointed by the opening number because of the fact that all SpamAlot did was dance to Knights of the Round Table and then Tim Curry and everyone else yelling SpamAlot. Also, I did not like Aretha Franklin's performance of Someday because it was terrible and she was really ruining Hugh's singing with her voice.

A little side note, Did anyone else catch that Aretha brushed Hugh off and didn't seem all that thrilled to be singing with him?

I agree insomniak! It stood out like a sore thumb every time you got an audience shot!
