The Search for the Next Elle Woods: The Spoiler thread — Page 40

Dang. The server for IAmOnMTV.com crashed earlier... well atleast on MY computer. I bet it was Bailey fans. It was working a little bit before the official announcement of the winner.

I love the single. I think it is a good key for her. I love the "music video" for it, too. When she sings "...when they unlock the door" I keep picturing the way Cassie S. sang that part. ::ugh::

I like how it ended with all of the girls back (and in order by elimination I might add) while Bailey was doing her encore. And whoever asked if Bailey's father was a priest, he was.

is anyone going to bailey's first performance on wednesday night at 8pm??

I am saving money to see the tour in Dallas and I hope I can see it. Do the tours do kind of like a Stage Door thing? What about handing out Playbills? Do they do that?

"jess20882: is anyone going to bailey's first performance on wednesday night at 8pm??"

i'm going :)

I feel like they only chose Bailey because she has more fans...if you look at the Vote Count Bailey is winning by like 40,000 which means of course, more ticket sales.

So even though Autumn has the real talent...Bailey won out in the end...grrr

edit: Okay, not the ONLY reason. She can dance and has that sorority girl vibe. But it was one of the factors that I'm sure helped make up their minds.

edit edit: i take what i said back since someone pointed out something that I can't believe i missed...my bad...

But the show was pre-recorded and the voting thing was up after the show premiered.

Based on the new promo photo, it "looks" like she has been doing well.

i would love to see kate as elle on wednesday matinee but i got to save money(college student).

not going to see this show again for quite awhile now until kate rockwell or even annaleigh is finshed her run in chicago as elle woods.

To whoever posted that Bernie is Willy Wonka: So true!!!

just watched this show for the first time out of curiosity. i cant believe who they chose as the new star. watching the auditions i kept thinking to myself "that chubby girl has a terrible voice. this is a joke". and then she won. bizarre. very bizarre.

I'm glad that Jerry Mitchell didn't sugar-coat things and completely gush over either girl. Neither finalist is ideal for this role and he made that clear. I thought that gave at least SOME integrity to this whole debacle.

I agree completely. It's all hamming and nothing is sincere (even Mitchell called he out on her "schmacting"). At least with Autumn (who is far from perfect, too), I bought it. Just compare their intros to "So Much Better". Worlds apart, both vocally and in terms of sincere acting.

Bailey is an amazing dancer. Autumn is a competent dancer. Give Autumn a few weeks of rehearsal and she'll have the choreography. Even voice lessons, though, can't make Bailey the singer that Autumn is. I think they picked wrong. But that's just an opinion.

Wow, your definition of chubby is very different from mine.

However, did anyone else get the sense that Jerry Mitchell didn't seem all that pleased throughout the entire thing?


- I agree. He didn't seem that happy when they were announcing the winner.

Well, he should have been a judge the entire time, then.
