I will always like Laura Bell Bundy as Elle Woods, but Bailey can definitely hold her own. She's very talented and improved a lot since the who search for the new elle woods thing came on. Honestly, stop comparing the two. They are both very talented in their own right.
Bailey is a fanastic dancer.. and i think in time her singing skills will get better. In this she seemed a bit stilted though, she looked like she was lacking purpose when 'working the stage.' No one is better than LBB, but Bailey will find what works for her.
According to Wikipedia, she played Sharpay in a stage version of the musical at the Paper Mill Playhouse (a major theater in NJ not too far from Manhattan), where dozens of Broadway stars have either gone to perform or have even gotten their big-league start.
stop making baily bad, we all know that lbb is beter but is baily raly so bad? Or does she just look bad if you've seen Laura? I like her, but LBB is better, but that not makes Baily bad!!! (sry for my bad english i'm just learning it...)
Yall all need to stop hating On BAILEY!!! She WON 4 a reason!!! SO HUSH !!!! Yea she sounded a little in her nose but still. SHE HIT THE LAST NOTE AND HELD IT! LETS SEE U DO IT AND SOUND GOOD!!! AND SHE MIGHT BE YOUNG BUT SHE STILL GOT THE PART AND AFTER THE SHOW CLOSED MOVED ON TO DO HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!! SO THEY LIKE HER!!!
@Ramos7878@glindaful I think both of yunz have good points and i think other people have good points too...
They actually had to lower the key of so much better for bailey to sing it, I think they went with bailey because she was the "underdog" and therefore more popular, but autumn had that in the bag... But yeah, alot of people are judging her based off of lbb and they shouldnt because bailey is good.
what we should discuss are the sweet angel puppy dogs they use in the show!!
im sorry... she just sucked, sorry wrong pick jerry... and i dont think shes even working on braodway or a tour anymore.. so she obviously not that good
I think the problem with Bailey is shes too young for the part of Elle! Like LBB was a lot older than Bailey is and i thinl you just need a older person to play elle and theres no doubhting that bailey isisnt talented but with like Becky and LBB they were just older and it suits a person with a older voice! but thats just what i think
Girl definitely has some natural talent and I have a feeling she needs time an experience to hone her skills. What Bailey lacks, something that was unfortunately necessary to propel a show of this magnitude, is vocal maturity. You can tell from her singing and acting that she is inexperienced - not untalented - eg, lots of her words run together and her diction is poor, and the caliber of her singing voice is clearly underdeveloped. That said I think she did a good job with what she has!
so yeah she is not Laura Bell BUT no onw is but Laura. Bailey ends that song nicely and i happen to kind of like her....stop getting so worked up everybody...JEESH!
If Jerry Mitchell thought Bailey wasnt going to own the part of Elle then he would of picked her. Personally I think she rocked it! BTW, who was playing Viviene in this one?
I think laura bell bundy is better cause she has a better voice and can act better She should have never left the show i beat it would of stayed opened longer.
you really suck at taping. and shut the fuck up everyone who thinks bailey isn't good. you try hitting a 16 bar note after singing that whole entire song then we'll see who's talking you little mother fucker.
I saw Bailey, I loved her! She wasn't bad! I was very happy! I also saw LBB too, so I can make a clear idea of both performances. The show closed because of the economy. That is why almost all of Broadway is closing January 4th or another day! Snaps to both Bailey and the original LBB!
It takes more than a pretty voice to be Elle. She doesn't realize that you can take character choices that aren't in the blocking. I don't think her acting is great. Sorry. This is from an actor's POV.
i completely agree she's awful. reason the show closed! i saw laura bell on her last night and she was ok ruined her voice but still better than this horrible performer
That note isn't all that matters. Laura Bell was successfully able to portray Elle. Her acting and singing made us all believe she was Elle. Bailey's portrayel was too over-the-top and not believeable. Sure, she can sing, but it takes more than singing to appeal to an audience.
Uh first of all i'm not speaking out of my ass i saw laura bell on her last performance and yeah her voice wasn't all that great but it was better than Bailey's she's not made for broadway and her character was awful.
And if i wanna voice my opinion i can deal with it. Didn't say you had to agree with me.
um so how about everyone that i know that loves theatre would not go see the show after she became elle so think what you want but she's part of the reason the show closed
"Everyone you know" is not a big part of the population, sorry. Get over yourself.
The show was doing bad financially, that's the reason for the MTV Reality Show. They knew it would draw in more people to get more interest and it would be a huge thing for their publicity. Just like the MTV Airing.
I'm fine that you dislike Bailey. I don't care, everyone has their opinions. But facts are facts.
ACTUALLLY. Jerry mitchelle knew the show was closing 2months before Laura bell left. cept her vocals were done . so to give the show more publicity for the last 4 months running they'd get more sales. and it wasnt doing bad in sales, it cos the West side story was coming back to broadway and its going in the Palace Theatre
Also to add to Jostynnn is that West Side Story was coming to broadway and had planned being in the same theater house. So i'm pretty confident that the producers knew that they would have to close up for now anyway. West Side Story guarantees more money.
She was AMAZING live and she is good here if you watch it in high quality and not normal quality. Only comment if you saw the performers live... to judge her from the video is ignorant!
I saw her live. I also so Laura Bell live. I never said Bailey wasn't talented, because she certainly is, but her acting and singing are just not up to par with Broadway.
thank you and i watched all of that stupid tv show on mtv or whatever where they casted the next elle. Biggest mistake for the show no broadway star can be selected from a tv show it's not the same as someone in the business in new york.
You were talking out of your ass when you said she was the reason the show closed.
People saw the show closing the day after opening. It doesn't matter who is a better performer, really. It has to do with Laura's contract expired, and they needed some publicity and extra cash, so they pulled out everything they could. Which resulted in the MTV show and Bailey.
Tracy didn't start playing Serena until 5 months after it started. Leslie Krizter originted the role. But Tracy was a swing the 5 months Leslie was Serena. After Leslie left Tracy started playing Serena
woah? Where is Kate Shindle. That's definitely not Kate Shindle playing Vivienne. I think it's that red-head lady who plays a bunch of different roles or something. I don't think Tracy is there anymore.
dd any1 else notice that christian and bailey doesn't have the same chemestry and him and Laura hereit doesn't feel the same- espically when Elle and Emmit hug after emmit got c- council
Hey :) can u please post legally blonde remix this vivienne sounds different is it the understudy tracey ? id love to see her protrayel of the character :D:D
