Idina is a sh*tty actress.....JLT, however is amazing. It's hard to get into character in like 20 seconds after an interview and she did a great job, she had this one moment where I just went "thank you, people who can act in musicals" She s just as impressive live-Idina is mcuh more vocally impressive live but please learn how to act.
Anyway, wow they should have done "What is tthis feeling"-this performance was so static and stiff I honestly think they moved like 3 times during the whole thing. I mean, I understand it's t.v. and you're excited people can finally see the subtleties but please don't put me to sleep.
"I guess she is one very confident girl who feels if you see it, it shall be.
I hope she sees a room with a piano player and a bunch of scary middle-aged queens sitting behind a table, talking to each other as she auditions!!"
