I still think his comment was unnecessary. Apparently, Tony has been sending out private messages and apologizing, but I didn't get one. He did send me a private message on twitter, but it was still in defense of his comment. I've been a fan of his for a while, I have all of his solo CDs, and I was very upset with his tweet.
Regardless of his intention, even if it wasn't motivated by jealousy, it still flew directly in the face of the whole out poor of love and support from the Broadway community that everyone on the Tony Awards was talking about. There are some things that you just don't say out loud, or in this case tweet for the world to see. Tony's comment was uncalled for, and I think it was a very senseless thing to say for a guy currently trying to raise money for a new album.
