I'm telling you. They changed keys for her...and she still didn't have the notes for it. She does it in her British accent. She's got about a four note range, and a one note acting ability. PAINFUL.

See, I think David Hasselhoff wasn't great - but I find it hard to believe he was worse than Jack Wagner.

Definitely Pia Zadora in Crazy for You. She was just dreadful. The odd thing is, I can still hear the way she sang, "Naughty Baby". There was no need to cast her, especially with the pool of talent that exists out there.

Toni Braxton in Beauty and the Beast. Talent-free.

David Hasselhoff as Jekyll and Hyde, he killed one of the best male roles ever created and he also killed all of my favorite songs, I will never forgive him for that re: Worst replacements

Hasselhoff in J&H
Christy Carlson Romano in B&tB

gag I can't believe David hasselhoff was in J&H!
he hasn't gone on yet, but I can't stand to see Rent on Broadway once Drew Lachey is going to be mark!
I know he's going to screw it up

Lesley Gore in Smokey Joe's Cafe. I think it was just a temporary engagement but God was she awful. And totally innapropriate for the show.... since she could have given birth to the majority of the cast members!

Mandy Gonzalez was a much better Amneris than Taylor Dayne.

Taylor Dayne was dreadful...I'm not really sure what the casting people were thinking. She isnt even that big of a name. Remember when someone stole her dog and car?

Someone needs to slap sense into Derek. JLT is a fantastic talent and she is doing a wonderful job in Wicked.

Joey was actually pretty good as Seymour. I didnt go in expecting much but I was plesantly surprised.

hahaha....I am dumb (rather...I missed the part where he said he was joking). I was so quick to defend JLT.
