Wrong forum.

I know it's the wrong forum......but it's obviously of interest to Wicked fans........

Those video's of the Chess concert are pure amazing.

[Salome]

they were disappointing compared to Kuhn and mitzman and Murney and Foster.

Idina RUSHED everything the entire concert, just like she does in the beginning of this video. What happened to her sense of rhythm and phrasing?

The fans on both sides seem to find it impossible to believe that there are people out there who are objective about the two women, and gave their opinions on that concert purely on the performances. I don't hate Idina, but she gave an awful performance in Chess - she did impress me in Wicked tho.

I thought:

Kerry was fantastic - aced SES.
Idina was way off, I think - she seemed a bit strained and uncomfortable.
Josh sounded brilliant - his acting is coming along nicely and his voice is wonderful.
Adam was his usual self - a few little mistakes here and there, but overall great.
Marti Pellow - incomprehensible.

And David Bedella was pretty good for a guy singing out of his range, especially in the second half when his accent solidified.

[Salome]

and how was Clarke?

did they do "Lets Work Together?"
