reasons why athenaraven rocks my socks!

[ellixian]

OMG. ILU, athenaraven. In more ways than I can say. I was supposed to work on fic, LOL, but have instead spent the last hour more than happily scanning through pics of Kristin and Idina and Julia and ♥ ILU. THANK YOU, AGAIN.

I present a mini pic-spam, BECAUSE I CAN. MUCH CAPSLOCK TO FOLLOW.

KRISTIN AND ALANIS! THAT IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!! That was SO cool. I wasn't sure if this song would fit Alanis, and yes, it was different, but I LOVED this. GAAAAH. SO AWESOME.

God, I love "For Good". It's my most played track on iTunes, and for a very good reason. Sobbed my heart out when I saw it live, too, despite Helen Dallimore SUCKING (vocally) as Glinda.

[ellixian]

LOL ISN'T IT RANDOM. WHEN I FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE, I WAS LIKE, WHAAAAAAAAAAAT. ALANIS?! But it works, doesn't it? SO funny. And you've seen Cheno singing For Good solo in her Boston Pops concert, Y/Y?!? BEST SOLO VERSION EVER. I would have loved for Idina to appear, sure, but the gorgeous notes Kristin lets loose with at the end when she doesn't have to sing harmony? BEAUTIFUL.

I adore For Good in a demented way. Like, ADORE. I can get all teary just listening to it on the soundtrack, OMG. And was Helen Dallimore dreadful? :( She + Idina = not so good? I got Dianne Pilkington, who was okay; I was too busy being blown away by Kerry Ellis.

Helen Dallimore was DREADFUL. I mean, the acting was okay, and she and Idina had good chemistry, but come ON. I would've done a better job at singing (haha, in fact, I love singing this song). Pretty much ANYONE would've done a better job of singing. She SUCKED. I have NO idea why she's even a musical artist to begin with! Thank God Idina was FANTASTIC, though.

And god, that solo version is fucking BEAUTIFUL. I heart her. ♥

Well, for anyone who comes after teh Cheno, there's only one way to go - doooooown. Obviously. Man, that sounds dire though. One of my friends really loved Helen, although of course Idina was still the main draw for her. Um... at least you got to see Idina? *wants to see Idina as Elphaba SO BAD*

I love singing this song too, OMG. I love singing every song on this album, and since I'm ridiculously UNtrained, I suspect it's one reason I got a sore throat and fell sick earlier this year. I blame it on Idina's high belt, LOL.

THAT LAST HIGH NOTE IN CHENO'S FOR GOOD KILLS ME EVERY TIME. ♥

[starhud5]

Those pictures of Idina are to die for!!! She looks amazing :)

[ellixian]

I KNOW. I died when I saw them when scanning through the lot that my friend downloaded for me. She's so... ♥ I STILL WANNA GO SEE HER IN CHESS IN MAY OMG.

I loved Helen too! *cries* and it wasn't JUST the Aussie bias...though the Aussie bias let me overlook her dreadful British accent. But, as a book lover...she was on. And that's all I ask for :D

She also cries HEAPS.

JULIA. I love how daggy she is. Long sleeve t-shirt under other t-shirt WHILE PERFORMING IN PUBLIC ftw.

[ellixian]

I didn't realise Helen was Aussie. Though WHAT DO I KNOW. I've not seen or heard her at all. But yeah, I remember you and Alex really enjoying her.

Who are the stars of Australia Wicked, btw??

JULIA. LOL. I looked at the photo again, and I have to say, in her daggy defense, that she's dressed down for an outdoor concert at Bryant Park - no one dresses for it, Idina is, like, all showing her midriff when she sings with Tracie when promoting Rent (SKANKY LOL) - and the Wicked people probably made her pull on the Wicked tee on top of her long-sleeved shirt. OR MAYBE SHE IS JUST DAGGY. I MIGHT LOVE HER MORE FOR THE LATTER, LOL.

[lfae]

OH HAI. Come join wicked_aus for all your Aussie Wicked info xD The witches are Lucy Durack and Amanda Harrison...names you mayn't know but TRUST ME THEY ARE BOTH INCREDIBLE AND INCREDIBLY PERFECT AND LUCY WILL BE THE BEST GLINDA EVER EVER EVER.

Julia was also sick that day, hah. I JUST commented about her being sick. I just love how usually everyone wears their show t-shirts...and all the other Wicked girls have the cute little figure hugging ones on and she's just all, fuck this shit *slums it* xD

AWESOME!

Shhhh! Just in case your more fervent readers come after me. And you're welcome! ♥

I admit to spending some time staring myself, lol. I love the Kristin/puppy pictures. She is so childlike there, and in an awesome way too!

From your previous post: I can probably sing every song he's ever sung better than he can

Evidence of the aural kind please! :D

[ellixian]

♥ you some more.

My readers were not neglected in the end, no thanks to you. ;)

And goodness. I couldn't STOP staring at all the adorable. Cheno is really just made of too much cuteness to be believed. I find it hard to believe she's almost 40 and still cuter than I have ever been. Even as a baby.

Evidence of the aural kind please! :D
LOL, that's evil!!! And anyway, I meant that I can remember the lyrics better than he can. I couldn't possibly presume to sing better than Emil!! That would be, like, sacrilege for me. ;) You come visit me where I am, or I'll come meet you in Taiwan, and you can hear me sing when we go for karaoke or something. ;)
