I agree Rosario's singing can not compare to the original Mimi.. especially her "out tonight" but I think she played the part well, though I could have done without all the spread eagles in the strip club..
And yeah, the musical is a rock opera, it's not supposed to have dialogue, but it's a movie.. it's not going to be exactly like the stage version. They also cut out 2 or 3 songs..
I've seen this movie three times now and I never get tired of it. I'd cry if they didn't have the OBC in this. seriously. Although the current broadway cast I hear is amaazing, especially the Maureen

Completely Off-Topic / This is the funniest/coolest thing ever...
« on: December 10, 2005, 02:32:19 pm »
Haha. Yeah, it was on the Today Show too. Like last week. They had the family on who owns the house and set up all the stuff. You can buy a kit that allows you to sync your music to lights. Really expensive though. I heard the city is threatening to make them shut it down because it's become such a road hazard (people stopping their cars in the street to watch)

Quote from: "JazzyManda"So I got the Wicked vocal/piano book (I'm seeing it live Nov. 23! woo). It has the piano accompaniment with the vocal line.. so it's kind of hard.. haha. But I'm trying! This is what I've gotten so far. It's really bad, I even skip a part and don't finish a phrase, but whatever. :razz:

i love your recording!
i think i have to buy the book
since there are 2 versions of it - this is not the one called "vocal selections", right?
lol thanx. And yes you do have to buy the book. Make sure you get the one called Vocal Selections (vocal line with piano accompaniment). That's the book I use, but I arrange it to how I want it to sound so that's why it's a little different than the music. But that book is the music that is closest to the pit piano part.
I'll have to post my most recent version of it... I can play the whole thing now. yay

Creative Endeavors / Re: Vanessa Painting
« on: November 28, 2005, 08:19:19 pm »Quote from: "FemaleArtist"
I've done a painting of Vanessa back in 2004. I put it on a well known auction site because I have alot of paintings and art work laying around that need a good home and in process of posting them for sale. Most my paintings are of musicians I have met through the years. Met Vanessa last year and showed her the painting. Knowing a permanant marker wouldnt survive on the painting I went ahead before show and had a photocopy of the painting printed and had her autograph the photocopy. She is a really sweet , funny, and talented girl.
ooooooooooo

Haha. I saw it yesterday with a friend of mine who is a huuuuge Renthead (she just recently saw it on Broadway). We were probably the most obnoxious people in the theater. We sang along to every song, we Mooooed really loud, and we cheered when Angel first came out in drag because that's just what you're supposed to do.
I can't wait to see the actual show when it comes to town in March.
I loooved it. I didn't cry because movies never make me cry, but my friend was bawling. *sigh* It really was a sad movie, but also very funny. I loved Idina Menzel's character: "there will always be women in rubber flirting with me"

Polls / Pianos or Keyboards
« on: November 24, 2005, 09:58:37 pm »Quote from: "STARGiRL"
well, piano.. but my piano turned to shit, so i got a yamaha p120 keyboard that is amazing, so i can play it in my room at 2am without disturbing anyone, i can take it places, and record music , soooo keyboard is more convenient, piano is more formal.. better sound and for performing
I have the same piano!
Though I still can't play it at 2 am cuz my parents can still hear the keys hit (idk how but they can).

Haha. It'll be just me, my mom, dad and my brother. We don't have any family near here (the closest is 400 miles away....most of my family lives in New York) but yeah. It'll be a good one as always.

Um, so I'm in love with this sountrack. I can't wait to see it!!
My friend and I are dressing up for the movie. I'm dressing as Idina in Over the Moon except I'm wearing cow ears and a cow spotted shirt that says "Moo with me". My friend is dressing as the character Mark with the emo glasses and scarf. It's going to be fun, because who doesn't love being a Renthead.
