I think she's referring to Kelly Clarkson. I don't think she's very well suited to that role. I could see her on Broadway though. I'd love to see her sing Florence Vassey in a concert version of Chess. She'd have a killer "Nobody's Side."

I would LOVE to see Kelly on Bway! Just not in B&B. Maybe Maureen in RENT, providing she can do the comedy, which I think she MIGHT be able to do!

I can also see Kelly as Penny Pingleton in "Hairspray"
Or Rusty in Footloose, if it ever came back to Broadway

But if's she's in Rent I can see her singing "Take me for I am for all that's meant to be, and if you give a damn take me baby............take me baby..............................................................................................or leave me."
Oh lordy, lordy.....

Not sure about the last guy, but I don't remember anyone else that could play it but Taye, and I didn't want to seem like an annoying fanboy mentioning him.
