how awful am i?well awful.. but pretty funny.
this year my school is doing anything goes, and i have a .. friend.. well not really a friend but she thinks we are.. and shes really loopy and obnoxious..
hehe.. and she wants to go for bonnie like me (theres no way she'd get it anyway, everyone thinks shes pretty bad) but still i kinda messed with her head..
i told her that bonnie belts, and of course she didnt know what that is, so i told her belting its like yelling. and i explained to her that youre just supposed to yell the song really loudly and.. well, her being her usual obnoxious loony loopy crazy self.. believed me.
i realise i sound pretty awful.. but trust me, if you knew her you would understand 
well.. i guess it will be a pretty interesting audition for her.
hehehe

pinkpolish9, I hope I will never have a friend like you. To do such a thing and then brag about it is detestable.

It's not funny, it's vindictive and rude. Sounds to me like you thought she was competition, or else you wouldn't have sabotaged her.
I hope that YOU don't get the part.

If I ever did something like that and ended up getting the part, I'd feel horrible knowing that I cheated my way into it.

well.. when i say if you knew her you would understand what i mean.. i really do mean it.
as much i as i sound like an awful cow.. she is worse..
this girl is obnoxious beyond compare and had already gone about school bragging to everyone how she was going to get the part. she is constantly rude and awful herself and psh..
plus, its not like what i did was really THAT bad.
if she was clever enough she could look up what belting was anyway.
i think its funny.. and whatever
shes not my friend because she is rude and awful herself and there are things that she has done to me in the past that have deeply hurt me (and things shes done to other people to) which are none of your business..
she ddoesnt really have friends either.. not because shes a loner and shy.. but because of reasons... she has done awful things..
whatever.

how awful are you?
pretty awful.
I know you may have your reasons that we "wouldn't get" about how this was an okay thing to do ... but the fact that a) you did it, b) you're bragging about it, and c) you're trash-talking this kid on a forum where nobody knows her or would have any interest in getting to know her ... makes you seem like a total bitch.

Just because she may be a rude and mean person, it doesn't give you reason to do what you did and brag about it.
It may not seem that bad, but things like that can really hurt a person...that's why verbal bullying is so much worse than actually getting beaten up.
I hope someone does the same thing to you someday, so you can get a taste of your own medicine...I can't believe you're gloating about what you did.
YOU sound obnoxious, never mind the poor girl you've embarressed.
God....ugh, I'm so disgusted by this...

If she is so ridiculous and you hate it so much, why would you ever stoop down to lower than her?
Hypocrite.
Really awful.
horrible.
Disgusting.
How would you feel if anyone did that to you?
And on another note
what... is everyone doing anything goes this year??

Well, no, but there isn't a "Biggest Bitch on the Planet" forum, so I guess she just decided to throw it anywhere ...

If she was bad enough, would she have needed you to make her worse? Honestly, if she was as bad as you were saying, she wouldn't have needed your "advice". Obviously, you felt insecure that she was at the same level if not better than you and you tried to find a way to secure the role for yourself and get her out of the running. That's real mean.
Did you start this thread expecting people to tell you that you are an amazing hilarious person?

you are worse than "insert friends name her who has done some mean things" and we've had whole conversations about what an awful person she is.

Um...okay...so even if knowing this girl would suddenly justify everything, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't, none of us know her. So obviously we're not going to see any reason to condone your behavior nor any point to you posting this.

What did you honestly expect out of this thread? Virtual high-fives? We're all (for the most part) die-hard theatre lovers... we're not going to congratulate you.

I can't say it! I mean...I don't like what you did...but then I'm not sure what to say! I just think it's not really nice. I agree with musical_geek...

 Congrats your just as bad as her! (If not worse)
I think you just wanted the part 
You really should tell her your sorry and tell her the truth before it's to late...

Is this your way of punishing her for being an 'awful' person? What gives you the right to sabotage her in such a way? And then to have the audacity for come online and expect to get a giggle from posting it?
I just think it's a shame you can't see how this was wrong.

Not awful at all. I'd do the same thing (or worse) if I was in your shoes. Once, I auditioned for a production of "Ragtime", after falling in love with the show while doing it for 4 months, and the guys that I felt were my competition were inexperienced, but talented. I told them that "Ragtime"'s score is extremely difficult and that you must have a trained voice, and at least 5 years of tap, jazz, and ballet to handle the dancing. They believed me, but I still didn't get the show. In the end, I realize that ... it's fun to manipulate people who you think of as your competition.

Isn't it?! Yeah, man, I love manipulating people and making them feel like absolute crap! I love rubbing people's mistakes in their faces, it makes me feel so so warm and fuzzy inside.
Oh dear Lord do you seriously think that people are actualy going to like you for doing this? People are just going to think you're manipulative bitches. Its just a warning, people aren't going to respect you for this. Far from it.

It was a story about a girl doing something that she felt ashamed of. I told her she's not the only one who does those kinds of things. That was really my worst story. I don't normally do stuff like that.

Also, I've really learned to not to judge people and SO WHAT this girl made a mistake. We all do! I just said that I might have done the same thing or worse, and I am not a mean person.

^Said you might? I'm pretty sure you said you DID.
I don't know about you, but I'm a very empathetic person and I would feel absolutely horrible if I did something like that from thinking about how I would feel if someone did that to me back when I didn't know about theatre. I don't know how you find that fun.

I guess the best way to describe it is like yelling on tune... if you know Wicked, Elphaba belts in almost all of her songs- especially at the end of The Wizard and I and Defying Gravity.

belting is projecting your voice so that you stay out of falsetto range while singing a high note. Belting has become more popular in modern day musical theatre. For example, if you listen to the recording of Wicked, you'll notice that Elphaba's vocal part rarely, if at all, is lyrical or classical-sounding, even though she is hitting higher notes. This is an example of belting. Also, a very distinct example: in The Producers, Ulla says in her first number "When You Got It, Flaunt It," "Now Ulla belt" and then proceeds to sing a very loud, impressive not on the lyric "Don't think twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!" Listen to those, or if you need other examples look at shows like Thoroughly Modern Millie (not Miss Dorothy or Mr. Graydon but like Millie, Jimmy, and Muzzy), Legally Blonde (there's constant belting in that show), Drowsy Chaperone, The Last Five Years, Aida, pretty much any show created after the year 2000, and even some before that.
Another little tidbit, people have specific belting ranges, just like normal vocal ranges. Everyone has a specific note at which point their voice no longer sounds good (or possibly they can't hit it at all) without going into falsetto, which is the more operatic, classical way of singing. This is called the breaking point, the highest note a person can belt. The higher the note is, the better belt range the singer has.
Hope that helps. If anything doesn't make sense, tell me and I'll try to explain it better.

If you were that confident that she was no competition compared to you, why did you feel the need to humiliate her?

well in Dramatics Magazine, it was rated as the tenth most bought show by ITS high schools in the year of 2007. And I bet the fact that this is probably around the 20th Anniversary of the revival, and maybe since LuPone's back on broadway headlining Gypsy.

And as for what you did, thread poster, the real way to handle this would be to be the better person, no matter what she did. Good things DO happen to good people, and good passes on and makes everyone happier, you don't need to do awful things to her just because she did to you in order to make your life better. And if the director ever found out about this, I would prepare to say goodbye to the theatre forever, because first you won't be able to even get into a high school show, and it just follows you. Theatre is an art that we can all share, and as a fellow actress, it is not your job to keep people out, but let them in, and beleieve me, that kind of attitude is way more impressive to a director.
I hope that you will learn from this experience and understand what these people tell you someday, I'm not going to scold you, but I'm going to pray (or hope, if you're not religios...HAHA ANything Goes...Hope.lol)
that you will see things in a different light.
