Lot of opinions about her on here huh. Anyway thought i'd just go ahead and put it all out there. TV really has a way of putting together a story. For the real scoop start reading here.

And If everyone has a min you should check out these clips.

They are from her regional performance in Wizard of Oz and then on stage as Millie from the National Tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Sounds like the quality isn't the best. When given the RIGHT song (i.e. Gimmie Gimmie (esp the last 20 sec of it)). She might just surprise everyone.

I know everyone has their own opinions, but she is someone who has put in a lot of hard work into this extremely difficult world and she does have the experience under the belt. Who knows NBC....we'll see . This is reality TV, she really can ONLY do her very best and let's face it when the contestants on the Grease show DO NOT get to pick their own songs to sing and are almost 100% choreographed at all times.. Let's hope she has a few more weeks to let a few more sides of her show through.

Haha! Nice. Nope. Ok, was worth a shot, TV sucks.

All the notes are there in "Gimme, Gimme" .. but it sounds like it is being sung by a 13 year old.

I'm pretty impressed. As for her young sounding voice, she has to read and sound young for the role of Sandy.

Wow, I don't know if I'd want to use those to try and market myself. The final note on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was painfully flat, and "Gimme, Gimme" is obnoxiously shrill.

I kinda liked Juliana before I heard these clips....now I'm kind of counting her out.

I just don't believe you thought her singing "The First Cut is the Deepest" anywhere compares to her 1 final note on the songs posted. I thought we were all looking for broadway performers? But, maybe im wrong. Guess on these type of shows you just can't avoid the cut. Just want america to be open minded. I mean cast as a Sandy? Not sure. Cast as a Sophie (Mamma Mia), hey now, that makes sense. In any case, i'm still routing for Kate, Laura and Juliana in the final 3.
