re: the sound of music reality show.
I just watched the first voting show of the Canadian version. And i'm curious if the london show did the same thing.
We are down to 10 (that is when the voting by the public starts).
I must say i totally hated it. I have no idea who their target audience is. But simon (ALW helper, i think musical director of the show) picked these horrible songs for the singers.
They were not musical theatre. And they were bad.
There was nothing i liked.
The only part that was good was at the beginning when they sang a song from the show as a group number.
The part that made me really mad was apparently canada will vote for the bottom 2. And then simon gets to choose. If this goes on the whole way i will be annoyed.
Plus if we don't get to see the man already cast as the lead that will also make me mad. We need to see how he is with the girls.
There were only 2 i thought could work. One had expressions that really worked (jayme) and the other is stunningly beautiful and has this star quality. But based on their performances tonight i did not vote.
