Everyone should vote for Kathleen Monteleone for SANDY for NBC's You're the One that I Want!!!!!!!! She is now in the top 6. She is one of the funniest people I know and is SOOOO talented. SHE IS THE BEST ONE FOR IT so vote for her starting next week!!!! GO KATHLEEN!!!!
Sorry, Juliana has it in the bag.
Ashley Spencer is going to take it. Juliana doesn't fit most people's physical idea of Sandy. Stupid, but it will make a difference.

because, of course, no Sandy can be a brunette, and regardless, no woman on Broadway wears a wig.. at all...
Broadwayguy - I know that. I also know the orignal Sandy (Carole Demus) was brunette. I am talking about the average American voting in this reality contest. To say they aren't exactly "visionaries" is to put it mildly. Perhaps they will surprise us.

I have no doubt that Kathleen will take it. And she's the only one who can sing an 8-show week.
Are_you_kidding, you joined today to let us know she's the only one who can sing an 8-show week???

Yankee, this message board does not use air. Waste of pixles might be better.

"And she's the only one who can sing an 8-show week."
Urm....several of the other contestants already do sing 8-show weeks (including the young lady in my avatar who has been already doing so, in the role of Sandy, since October), so I'd say your claim is a little inaccurate.

Come, now. We've all heard the vocal-health rumors.

And we're not talking about a 3 month run...
...I haven't heard the vocal-health rumors.
Aaaaaaand vote for Allie!

Well, if America votes for someone with poor vocal health, they'll just have to live with the decision while watching her understudy perform the role. But I immagine Kathleen not being chosen, so we won't have that problem.
I can't imagine her not being chosen either. Not if the theatre community has anything say about it. Kathleen not only has the vocal strength to do the role but what sets her apart is her Acting! Her ability to connect while singing is what a true triple treat is made of.
Besides if that wasn't enough, I agree with LionKingKid...She is one of the funniest people you will ever meet!!

Laura hasn't had any vocal health problems, so I'm not sure what you're implying.
And prior to her run in Grease, she was an apprentice at The Children's Theater Company in which she was singing 8-show weeks for a year straight, so whether she is up to it isn't really a question. She has already demonstrated that she has the stamina.

I hope Kathleen wins! I just watched a repeat last night of last Sunday's episode. She was the only one I thought could do the show...on Broadway. My teacher even talked about her during my musical theatre class. She's the only one that acted! Like my teacher said, we won't be watching Grease on TV when it gets to Broadway, all the other girls are cute, and can sing ok, but their performances won't read in a big theatre. The other girls don't have any "fire".
I look up to her too, because we look like we could be sisters! I wish I could sing like her too, though.
I did hear a rumor that people were having vocal problems, but not specifically who. I guess we'll find out on Sunday...

Wait..so they have already picked the top 6? Or do you mean the top 6 girls who could be sandy?
Chorus Member Joined: 3/20/06
They picked the top 6 Sandys. So, all together still top 12.
Chorus Member Joined: 3/20/06
I can't wait for Sunday! Anyone know how I can find out more about Kathleen? Does she already have a fan site? Anyone want to start one with me?
I found her NBC page:

For Sandy it's a tie between Ashley and Kathleen in my mind but Ashley seems to be more likable to me. For Danny I would pay big money to see Austin.

I don't know how anyone can tell from watching the shows so far who is or is not capable of singing eight shows a week. I, personally, will wait to see the coming shows before deciding who's 'best' or who I'd vote for, why would I decide before the final competition has begun? I still think that Ashley has the best chance, based on what we've seen so far.
