Are you sure about this?

When I saw the promo a few days ago and went to the orchestra's website they didn't mention any performers.


I'm watching just in case.

Thanks for the heads-up!!!

Also scheduled to be on this program is the Chicago cast of Spelling Bee.

The camera work and angles were all pretty bad during the Spelling Bee performance. However, I guess this makes me feel better about not going to this live on Monday.

I don't think the girl who sang for the Color Purple sounded all that great. She cracked on a few notes, which isn't the problem, but I just didn't think the song suited her voice as well as Fantasia or LaChanze.

Type in Jeanette Bayardelle on YouTube, and listen to her sing "I'm Here" from the People to People interview, which is a a far better performance. To me, she's one of the strongest Celie's!

Okay, I'll have to do that. I'm sure it was just an "off" day as she seemed very strained on some notes. I mean it's a live performance so you can't expect perfection everytime. I didn't think the girl who sang from Wicked was all that great either.
