i dont want to see it with fantasia. i know im going to get bashed out for this. but when i go to a broadway show i dont like it to be like a concert where people scream alright and junk like that. i pay like100 dollars to see the show i want to enjoy it. and im an actor and when i sing i hate it when people scream in the middle of a song. just my opinion. and i know everyone is going to boo me on this comment, so ill shut up now.
You are kinda right in a sense of theater ettiqute. But if you pay money for something high class you expect it to be high class. BUT SHE IS FANTASIA!!!
CERTAIN STUFF YOU CAN NOT GET OUT OF JEANETTA BAYARDRELLE!!!
LOL :) and that is so funny!!! I am an actor too, and for the fact that people are screaming to see me and selling out my shows I'm gonna put on a SHOW! So when they leave they can see WOW Fantasia put some work into this!!But then again your opinion is your opinion..:)
But still in a since people can be excited but at the END OF THE SONG.. NOT DURING EVERY PAUSE!!!!! THAT REALLY GETS ANNOYING WHEN YOU CAN NOT FINISH THE SONG THE WAY YOU WANT TO!!!! SCREAM SHOUT!!! I understand when she gets to "I'm Beautiful" and "I'm Here" But wait until the end of the SONG!!!!
But still the way she connects with the CELIE IS ASTONISHING
I don't think anyone should bash you for not wanting to see it with Fantasia. But I can honestly tell you that without her you won't truly "experience" the Color purple. I have seen the paly several times and Fantasia simply taps into your most raw, viseral emotions. It's not just African americans either. I've seen older white women and middle age men unable to contain themselves. It's as if she allows you to touch the divinity within us all. Simply put she CONNECTS. Blessings
i understand what u mean tyses! but believe me when i say this!..this musical is sooo powerful when ms celie sings this song there are just soo many emotions going on through you! i saw this with my mama! and i was crying when fantasia sang this song! lol i couldnt help it! its sooo powerful! and the audience was crying and screaming! ppl were jumping and everything! lol it was more like church than a concert! lol
I love the play, I really do. But I feel the only reason why Fantasia was on the Broadway Production and not on the touring was due to her voice. Jeanette sings and acts far better than Fantasia. She does have soul, but this song has a message and it's not about riffing or getting it "churchified" it's about her realizing that she is beautiful and taking that strength in that power of knowlege, that epiphany. Fantasia is all about the singing... I don't think she is the best... sorry.
U ever seen her in the role?Shes a great actress.Critics agree.This nite liberty was taken w/the song.Was her last nite &whole cast was emotional.Many stepped out of character & wasnt a norm for them.She added new depth.If u truly believe the only reason she was chosen was her voice,I have some oceanfront property in Idaho to sell u.(borrowed from TI).They didn't want her to go & now courting her for the touring production.When she joins again I hope ull go & reassess what uve written.Peace
but that was my opinion... why do I get 3 thumbs down for saying an opinion? It's sad that no one can say another comment that's different from the norm and get ridiculed for it.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I am a firm believer that Fantasia is better because if you've READ the BOOK and SEEN the MOVIE, you would know that Fantasia IS Celie. Jeanette is a PHENOMENAL actress, but there is something AUTHENTIC about Fantasia's performance. It CLEARLY moves people to tears. Moreover, Fantasia brought to the theaters an otherwise indifferent audience to the theater and her performance made average Black people they can too enjoy the theater. Just my opinion.....
My goodness, if ever there was a role, a show, a performer, and God's anointing all coming together for six glorious minutes and fifty seconds, it's what I just watch. Fantasia, Fantasia, Fantasia!!!
lol ur clearly n like the 3rd row...so im n the front mezzanine...1st row balcony n at 6:05 i scream "alright". several other times b4 i hear myself screaming also. lol. 224 "sing tasia" 319 "take ya time grl"
PLZ WATCH MA VIDEO OF IT. i lose ma mind. lol. i swear i hafta b that grls biggest fan. whoever has me beat kudos to them
this is great!! I am glad that they got a little of the part leading up to this song. I loved the play and Fantasia blew it away! I loved the play even when someone else played Celie.
Yes indeed incredible performance from an incredible performer. The girl sat Celie on the edge of the stage that night and Fantasia ended the song. Goose bumps for me all the way! lol
This is still my favorite performance of this song!
