"Am I the only one who feels no charisma from Ashley S?"
Me too. To me, she's nothing. She's airbeushed. And her voice wasn't that great.
I'm so OVER this whole model thing. Most of those people were way too pretty.

I kept thinking I was missing something because Ashley really did nothing for me either....I don't even think I'd put her in my Top 3.
But I took a quick lurk at the NBC.com boards earlier today and she was all people were talking about over there.
WARNING: That board is not for the faint of heart. They seem to refuse to acknowledge that the show existed before, or has existed outside of, the film incarnation.
I mean, honestly, and I'm not just saying this because I know her, but Kathleen is the ONLY Sandy with any sex appeal. She will be able to perfectly transition between Sandy 1 and 2. Some of the other girls are just TOO goodie two shoes - particularly the one with the lisp and horrid figure. I don't know her name - the one in the ugly green "dress."

Unfortunately the consensus that I read on the NBC.com board yesterday about Kathleen seemed to be that she was "too fat" to play Sandy.
No wonder so many women suffer from eating disorders in this country.... Granted, she's no Nicole Richie post-gastric bypass, but if that's fat...we all should just give up right now.
Now I went back and watched the backstage interview with Kathleen and she seems really young and girlish: maybe she just needs better wardrobe and song selection. Hopefully she'll improve that - I could see her being one of the first bumped off, along with Jason. I have a feeling that the Danny and Sandy they brought back are going to stick around a little while
Definitely will not be voting for her.
That's funny that you feel so strongly about it. I actually feel just as strongly that she is the only one who will captivate audience night in and night out.
I will Definitely Be Voting for her!

I like Laura the best, probably. Julianna isn't bad though.
So, after finally watching the first "live" episode (i accidently taped the wrong channel on sunday and NBC.com has been having issues getting the online videos for the show to work) I'd have to say none of the guys fill me with much confidence (I do like austin, and he seems like a great performer, but while he was singing Mony,Mony, all I kept thinking was "he looks like a male stripper") and only 3 of the girls struck me as even possibly having the ability to do this, Laura, Kathleen and Ashley S.
As for the "too fat" talk about kathleen. She's certainly anyhitng but fat, but she did look like she was wearing maternity clothing, which i thought was odd. Every other female performer was wearing something tight, or at least somewhat form fitting and kathleen looked like she was trying to had a pregnancy, bad choice by the shows stylist.
Don't forget to tune into Grease tonight. Kathleen you know will be singing a classic Lord Webber song!!
VOTING begins directly after the show. Obviously you can vote for whoever you so choose. But as her fellow peers on Broadway, WE VOTE KATHLEEN AS THE ONE WE WANT!!!
LOVING YOU!!!
I'm pretty sure one Danny and one Sandy will be eliminated before we get to the ALW songs -- I think its possible Kathleen will be in the bottom two or three tonight.

Do we know if they're eliminating both a Danny and a Sandy every week, or is it just a Danny or a just a Sandy? I can't remember how many episodes there are supposed to be.
It's a pair each week.
I don't have an opinion and I didn't/won't be voting but Kathleen needs a serious wardrobe consult. She wears clothing that looks like she is trying to hide figure issues. Someone should send her some Spanx. (If you need to ask, Google it.)

They're not choosing their wardrobe, unfortunately. The contestants have almost no control throughout this show. Stylists are dressing them, and they're not choosing their own songs.
Kathleen is totally concealing a baby.
I hope she sings MY BABY'S GOT A SECRET next week...
