I do think some of these girls do deserve some credit for being genuinley earnest and eager to learn and play the role, but some just make me gag. I really liked Cassie S. from the start (especially her little sassy hair move during the group dance call, hysterical) and only realized she in Hairspray once I saw the episode again. I'm rooting for her, then maybe I'll actually see Legally Blonde again!
I feel as if the world has gone all topsy turvy after watching Seth Rudetsky on the MTV video blog. Seth and MTV.......it's bizarre, but it makes me smile.
THE JUDGES ARE TRYING TO PUSH THE GIRLS TO THE LIMITS
Judge: Forget one of your lines Nikki S: MUAHAHAHA.
these girls are going to start having mental breakdowns each week.. take a shot each time it happens for those playing the drinking game Updated On: 6/3/08 at 11:12 PM
"I think they should cast Carey Anderson as Elle she would be perfect!!!"
Total lack of acting skills aside (gosh, could she BE any more whiny in Mamma Mia?! Thank goodness I saw the London production, or I always would have hated Sophie), Anderson can. Not. Dance. She was lagging behind in Mamma Mia, and that's not as dance-heavy as Blonde is.
And Seth deconstructing stuff on MTV is just too much crack...
That review was funny. But I agree with pretty much everything that was said, especially the part about the judge. Where's Simon Cowell when you need him???
"You drank a charm to kill John Proctor's wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!" - Betty Parris to Abigail Williams in Arthur Miller's The Crucible
Kellie Pickler would be an awful Elle in my opinion...I would rather have any of the girls than her, and I don't like most of the girls. I personally think her voice is horrendous, and she couldn't handle 8 shows a week. She probably couldn't do the acting or dancing as well.
The show is complete crap! These girls are not amatures, they are almost all professionals : Emma Zaks played Paulette and understudied Anne in the revival of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, which was choreographed by Jerry Mitchell. *the smoker*
Celina Caravajal most recently served as the second cover for Jenn Gambatese in TARZAN. She also understudied Kelli O'Hara in DRACULA, and has additionally appeared on Broadway as a replacement Annie in the 42ND STREET revival and as Demeter in CATS.
Autumn Hurlbert (who made it far in the audition process to replace Annaleigh Ashford as Margot last year) appeared on the First National Tour of LITTLE WOMEN as Beth March.
In addition to those few, several professional theater actresses were cut in the opening dance combination, including Tracy McDowell (a former Maureen on the RENT tour and swing in the Broadway company who also auditioned for Margot last year) and Amanda Flynn (who understudied Glinda in the original Los Angeles company of WICKED.)

Fiyero2, I don't mean to be snarky, but if you're going to copy another user's post verbatim, you may want to give them credit.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Although Emma Zaks was in the recent La Cage revival--it was also directed by her father. Interesting that Paul Canaan didn't remark on working with her in their awful excuse for "judges."
"Don't thank your parents, if you were raised in a nurturing environment you wouldnt be in show business"--Conan O'Brien at the 2006 Emmy Awards
My thoughts are that all of you who are outraged and spewing bile are deep down really jealous and enraged that you are not getting the attention and exposure that these actresses are getting on this show.
"Never before has an American president been so closely tied to a foreign power that harbors and supports our country's mortal enemies."
oh gosh, i would kill to have simon on this show, it would be priceless. he would never do it though, and i don't know if i would blame him.
<-- Gwen Stewart, SOLoist at the last show of RENT Cages or wings?
