I've seen this done in a way that emphasizes way too much on the erotic part of this song (don't ask). Even though there is eroticism in this piece, it's essentially comedic. Jane knew how to balance the eroticism and comedy without it being awkward/uncomfortable. MUCH easier said than done.
my brother actually had the balls to say that jane is ugly! who the fuck does he think he is? she has such a unique look. THATS WHAT MAKES HER HOT!!! and she is soooo talented. love her for this and 30 rock
@hreal10 I was thinking the same thing. She didn't seem very secure hanging upside down. Basically, she just wrapped the sheet around her legs and that's it. Unless I missed something.
@fairycristela What? Penelope did a great job with her character, but she can't sing. Just listen to have overly auto-tuned her voice is. Jane performed this 8 times a week!
@AdamEfimoff Don't get me wrong! I love this but Penelope is my favorite actress so I like her version better...what's wrong with that? No one is "right" you know? It's just a matter of taste and I like Penelope's better while you like Jane's better.
This is a wonderful performance, and I loveeee Jane so much, but after seeing Nine the movie, I always picture a Latina as Carla, especially with the accent! I like Penelope's version better, although I do like this one. I find this one more comedic then sexy, as Penelope's was.
This is great. However, the late, amazing Anita Morris (whom I saw perform this role 3 times in the original production) was just beyond. In her form-fitting black lace body suite (it looked like it was see-through, but really wasn't) was a sight to behold. And she was a really sweet person as well. I shmoozed with her for a while at a signing when the album was released. She is certainly missed.
How refreshing to see a post from someone who even knows who Anita Morris was. I too could not imagine how anyone could come close to Morris's erotic, comic turn which was one of the most unique moments I have ever seen in the theater and I also thought Jane Krakowski was great.
I totally agree. Jane delivered a good , solid "sexy" performance, but Anita just had that extra `something' - a certain cheeky knowingness. As roccoh21 said, Anita Morris' version was both erotic AND comic - Not many people could carry that off!
Penelope Cruz literally filmed this number for the movie of 'Nine' over the last week or so. She blistered all her hands hanging on!! I can't see she'd be anywhere near as good as Jane at singing it! We'll have to wait for the movie to see!
Just letting you know, Penelope is a trained dancer and singer (see La Nina de tus Ojos were she dances and sing in spanish and german and she won almost major awards in Europe for her acting as well). I think she will do good. Different, of course, but good!!!
cant agree with you any more, I'm so excited for this musical! especially Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz's interpretations of Guido's Protege and mistress!!!! =D
Oh definitely. And Rob Marshall knows how to make a musical. He stunned us with the fabulous show stopping numbers in Chicago, and I have hope that he'll do it again with "Nine". Just from that, I trust that he knows how to chose his actors and actresses for roles, and if he chose Penelope, then he means to wow everyone with not only her performance in the movie, but everyone else's as well.
She sang in La Nina de tus Ojos, and used a playback in Volver. She can sing. She just needs to pull out of her head voice (she kinda speaks in a head voice, though).
lol in 30 rock she falls from a harness, really funny lady

This girl is one hell of a performer.
She does it all - act, sing, write, etc.
She's perhaps one of the most underrated performers out there.
Her song "You" is great!
She's also a nice humble person too. She does quite a bit of charity work.
