"Happy New Year" / "Voicemail #3" / "Happy New Year B" @ the Hollywood Bowl

i think this is V's best song... In the beginning she actually sounded pretty good. She has very good vibrato, but she has trouble keeping on tune, especially during the more difficult parts. still don't really like her.

Telly!!! I love him :)

and Nicole covered well with her mistake. Obviously it was a huge biff, but it happens even to the pros sometimes. Nice job picking urself up Nicole!

1:23... someone says her line for her...

[HarryPotterRENThead]

I friggin' love Telly's Angel.

I think Vanessa was just nervous this night. I was there on the last night and she was awesome! She absolutely blew me and the rest of the audience away. And Nicole didn't forget anything.

[xvanessaxanne]

I've never had much faith in vanessa's abilities, even though I'm a fan, but to her credit I think she proved here that she's not compleeetely talentless. there are definitely parts where she makes me cringe--singing and acting wise-- but she sings some of the easier stuff well. she belongs more in a high school musical than a broadway musical (no pun intended). but she sticks out like a sore thumb among her other talented cast members.

[Mandypie01]

She totally bombed it. "Honey i know your there please pick up the phone. Are you okay? It's not funny. it's not fair. How can i atone are you okay? I lose contro lbut i can learn to behave give me one more chance let me be your slave i'll kiss your doc martins let me kiss your doc martins youre every wish i will obey" Not to hard to remeber.

[Mandypie01]

The final Maureen on Broadway was the best one. No one is better then her.

[GreenwithEnvyx]

@Mandypie01 i have to agree. I will always think Idina owns it, but Eden was f**king incredible. i may even like her better... ;)

[tropa23]

wow. Nicole totally botched Voicmail #3! totally forgot her lines :( Other than that, she's NOW my favorite Maureen!

[gilmorefanforever]

@sroberge I'm not going to pretend she's the most brilliant Mimi ever, especially vocally, but I like that she actually plays the character as a teenager. And Aaron is WONDERFUL, but I think he seems like he's not even trying to act like he likes her.

@Mandypie01 They said Jersey in the Broadway tour with Adam and Anthony too. They also change "circle line" to "Statue of Liberty." It's to make the lines easier to understand to people who don't live in New York.

[Mandypie01]

"You can take the girl out of jersey but you can't take the jersey out of the girl?"

It's take the girl out of HICKSVILLE!

And Maureen repeated herself way to many times .. if you mess up MOVE ON you're making it sound wrorst by trying to correct yourself ..

[redkatsound23]

Vanessa is awful. I think she just sings really slowly, she is behind the beat....

[InvisibleFeetDaryl]

Its ok Nicole... =/

[Grapetheape]

I noticed they cut out a part. Not that it's bad or anything. But did they exclude a lot of other parts?

[gilmorefanforever]

She handled forgetting her lines better than I expected from what I've read.  Aaron just... does NOT seem into Vanessa in any video I've watched.

[sroberge]

@gilmorefanforever how could you be into Vanessa? Aaron is amazing and Vanessa is......not

[MissElphieThropp]

@iBenjafied at first I thought it was her mic, but I guess she did! she handled it well, though.
