oh dear. she didn't pull this role off, and i actually really like ashlee and her voice. she didn't have enough pizazz in my opinion. stick to recording studios, babygirl!
I think vocally she's fine and when she's actually dancing she does pretty good but she's not bringing that Fosse spunk into the moves and she's not sassy enough. It's like she's afraid to go there or something. I just wanted more.
She's boring in this role. Her voice is mediocre, and it's not like these are challenging songs. She's terrible at the choreography (she's out of sync and her form is loose and sloppy.) She doesn't even know the correct name for musicals.
I'm an actress living in NYC and it's so disheartening to see roles like this go to people who can't perform them as well as some of my colleagues but who have some sort of box office pull.
I mean, yeah I guess if this were a high school, community, or even some college shows she'd be pretty good, but certainly not for this level of supreme theatre. There's nothing about her voice or movements that really grip the audience.
Also, her calling shows "Broadways"... gets me every time.
good high school theater at best, and even that's a stretch.
Ashlee Simpson is a talentless hack who thinks being a "celebrity" by riding the coattails of a less talented sister suddenly gives you a license to be an actress.
Hmmm... I do admit she does sound good on the fast songs. But what about the slower songs? What about every other aspect about her? Pop singers just don't belong on Broadway. Period.
Actually you are the stupid one. My roommate is a theater major. You do not call a musical/play, even if it started on broadway, a broadway. Right now she is ON broadway performing in Chicago, which is not a broadway. When she was in London it was just a play. Why do you think so many are saying that what she is saying is wrong. Google it before you insult people.
She is not at the Bob fosse level for this musical!! He would have never picked her in a million years!! She ruined the JAZZ feeling about this musical!!,it very slow and without energy!!
I'm sorry but did she stop a live show because she sung the wrong words??? if im wrong correct me but how unprofessional, i dont think they casted very well at all big mistake
hey.....she's not bad. quite good. i had to see the clip, to see if it was THE 'ashlee simpson'; watching this, i was reminded that, yeah, pop career & fiascos aside, she'd started out in acting; this will give her a lot of cred, and it shows she's actually got a great voice.
Soooo lame

i imagine she was probably super nervous and didn't let loose as much as she could have. which is understandable.
