Posted: 7/22/08 at 9:26amvery good point, foggymorning. You can't please everyone. Regardless of the outcome, it looks like of the final four girls will mostly likely get a chance to play Elle at least once. And all them have paying acting gigs. There are plenty of girls out there that would love to have that chance.

Posted: 7/22/08 at 10:08amI still can't get the amazon link to work. I wonder if they got stripped of their priviledge to sell it after their goof?

"Maybe I'll get lucky and get to see Lauren doing Elle in the tour. I think she'll progress very fast. "
That is my dream scenario!
"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."
Lauren had over 46,000 votes. They had better not screw her out of 'fan favorite' as well!

Posted: 7/22/08 at 11:05amHow could they choose based on popularity votes if the votes started after the winner was secretly announced?

Posted: 7/22/08 at 11:25amI think in a couple of years Lauren will be perfect for the role of Elle. She needs to lose the northern accent though.

Posted: 7/22/08 at 11:31amI think that Autumn merely had an off-night as in all other auditions she was spunkier than she was last night. Or I'm wondering if these numbers weren't done more than one time and the "best" shown from Bailey's and the worst shown from Autumns. You never know. Autumn was off acting wise last night...there's no doubt about that.
#1032re: The Search for Elle Woods: The Spoiler thread
Posted: 7/22/08 at 11:34amWhat cracks me up is no matter how good or bad Autumn does, she always thinks she just gave the performance of her life! lol
#1033re: The Search for Elle Woods: The Spoiler thread
Posted: 7/22/08 at 11:36amThat's so true, she does!

Posted: 7/22/08 at 11:54amDoes anyone know when Autumn starts? The website has updated the entire cast list and bios but Autumn isn't on it.

I wish Autumn would have won. On her good days, she can sing and act circles around Bailey, although she needs to work on her dancing and her consistence as far as her performances go. Bailey's good, but it's clear IMO that she's impersonating Laura Bell Bundy. Maybe all the judges wanted was a LBB clone.
But I think Jerry Mitchell hit the nail on the head when he told the girls that neither one of them was ready to take on the role yet. But it's good that Autumn will get to understudy the role and perform in the ensemble. It'll really give her a chance to hone in on her dancing. And maybe she'll end up taking over the role on Broadway or on tour.

This should be very interesting. All I'm going to say is, Laura Bell Bundy knew exactly what she was getting into. She's been on Broadway for years. She's an old hand at at eight performances a week.
I hope this girl has plenty 'o stamina and iron lungs.

I agree, allofmylife. It'll be VERY interesting to see whether Bailey can keep up with the both the demands of the score, and the demanding 8-shows-a-week performance schedule!
I think Autumn has the stamina to keep up with the performance schedule, since she's performed in national tours such as Little Women.

Posted: 7/22/08 at 1:14pmWow, up close he does look pretty old next to her.
#1042re: The Search for Elle Woods: The Spoiler thread
Posted: 7/22/08 at 1:17pmThey changed the Positive costume, Bailey wears a puffyer jacket & pinkish pants.

Posted: 7/22/08 at 1:26pmCan you either post the pictures or post a link? I'd love to see.

Bailey looks good... but I've got to admit that Christian does look older than her.
Any more pics?

Posted: 7/22/08 at 1:37pmBut it makes his not being an associate by that time even stranger...

I always thought the age change for Emmett was odd in the show. For some reason I gathered Emmett must be a third year or just earned his JD and was doing grunt work for Callahan to earn a place in his law firm. Maybe to make it less creepy for a romance? He was at least a year removed from grad school in film. Of course, the romance wasn't even mentioned in the movie until the and and Emmett and Elle never pursued each other in her first year.
I am thinking way too much about this. But yeah, Christian is looking old there next to Bailey.

Posted: 7/22/08 at 1:58pmTo cute. It looks like she is mingling with the cast well. Is that her and Tracy Jai talking on the edge of stage?
