Wow, BK, you're coming off as a truly ignorant slob.

It's you who should "cool your jets".

[Dollypop]

Posted: 4/23/08 at 11:23pm

The problem is that BK doesn't have any jets to cool.


Sad. Terribly sad.

[BkCollector]

I;ve had more than a few Jets, and quite a few Sharks.

No technique? Are you nuts or just that jealous? You are probably the only person in the WORLD that would ever make that comment about LuPone, bk. Dollypop, great posts!!! VIVA LUPONE!!!

"No technique? Are you nuts or just that jealous? You are probably the only person in the WORLD that would ever make that comment about LuPone, bk."

I doubt it dear. Not everyone worships at her feet.

It's very common to hear voice teachers criticize her wobbly vibrato. Chin wiggling with vibrato is a(n?) hallmark of bad vocal technique as any vocal coach or teacher worth their salt will tell you.

This isn't about hero worship/diva hate, it's about aesthetics, you may love her, that's fine. Inexplicable to me, but fine nonetheless.

It's a free country (barely) and we can agree to disagree and not be nasty, right?

Don't take it as a personal attack when I say the woman sings like a squeezebox that's been left out in the rain and then placed in a blender. It's not about you.

I don't think that everyone worships at her feet, nor did I say that. I just thought that saying she doesn't have ANY technique is a little harsh. How could she get where she is without any technique? Anyway, you're right- to each his own. Personal attack? Not at all...

[Dollypop]

Everyone SHOULD worship at her feet.

[Dollypop]

You're going to die?

Let me know what kinds of flowers you like and I'll send them to your funeral.

Why is another recording of Gypsy needed? Looks like the major companies that record musicals crunched the number and discovered profits from a new recording weren't great than the recording costs.

[BkCollector]

Posted: 4/25/08 at 2:03pm

yeah, after seeing this performance, I would rather have a solo Benanti album with Little Lamb on it than listen to another Diva screw this up again.

i thought you werent gonna piss in anyone elses threads anymore?

[BkCollector]

Posted: 4/25/08 at 2:10pm

Hey, im allowed to have an opinion. I thought Tyne Daly was great, and then these two came and well, you know how I feel.

The best Gypsy on record IMO is Lansbury

But yes, I did want to stop, but then DollyPop started clutching her pearls and fanning herself and it was just too tempting. Updated On: 4/25/08 at 02:10 PM

So... let me guess... the official announcement will be made this week...

[madcap_fiance_rose]

Posted: 4/27/08 at 3:14pm

Go Dolly!!!! Patti is life and one of the two finest singers that I have ever heard/seen live... And that's not diva worship!!!! That's a judge of talent... I am not thrown by "diva-ism" or celebrity, but I do get awestruck in the presence of a talent as great as LuPone's... She is absolutely fantastic... So, shut it BK...

[BkCollector]

Posted: 4/27/08 at 3:35pm

And yet no real argument as to why she's so talented. A great range? no. A Great vocal prowess that spans different styles? Nope, a great interpreter with actual examples to back it up? Never heard that.

Nope, just blind faith that she's "incredible" and "the best" ad nauseum, but no real arguments.

Heh. Whatever.

if you guys can talk about this show i can talk about get a cast cd of cry baby.

[givesmevoice]

Posted: 4/27/08 at 4:19pm

BK, I know it's not always a good idea to argue with someone who just genuinely doesn't seem to like a performer, but I thought I'd ask. have you heard either Matters of the Heart or Lady With the Torch?

"Why is another recording of Gypsy needed? Looks like the major companies that record musicals crunched the number and discovered profits from a new recording weren't great than the recording costs."

Why is another recording needed? One should be recorded at least for preservation. I enjoy this version of Gypsy very much, but others do not. But to let it fade away from history forever would be a disgrace.
