I had no idea that the actress from Gilmore Girls could sing. Whoa. Awesome.

[woah0we0cool]

okay you cant watch this and pretend its lorelai cause its not. I know its hard because Lauren is such an amazing actor she makes you believe its lorelai but its not, its lauren, and its not that she has a bad voice, her character is supposed to have that kind of monotone nasally voice, once again she is being an amazing actor.

horrible sing, simply awful. what an insult to the song.

Love how the blonde is Sarah and the brunette is Adelaide :D

And btw, Lauren is supposed to sound like that; Adelaide's character has one of the most annoying voices in any musical (expect maybe Audrey in little shop of horrors)

@spacklegirl I wouldn't say it was the WORST but it was pretty bad. Lauren's voice is NOT Broadway live stage quality; I thought Titus (who I'd seen in The Little Mermaid and it was decent) was great but far and away Oliver Platt is the worst stage presence I have ever seen in the universe. Nevermind, sweaty.

@genungapearl While Adelaide is trying to marry Nathan the entire show, + 14 before the show, she's also trying to make him give up gambling first. The first lyric she sings is "...You can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought"  Meaning, she can't alter/change Nathan before she buys/marrys him.. So now, they're going to focus their efforts entirely on marrying the men and worrying about their "problems" later.

@curtainswoods 1) She's trying not to fall down in those shoes. 2) See #1. 3) She was right on key...if anything the woman playing Sarah was a bit low but it works fine. 4) If you read the label it was from the nomination special for the 2009 Tony's.

I think the thing I love about this song is that if you were to cut it into a Disney movie, it would be the song the villains sang.

[genungapearl]

This song, catchy as it is, never made much sense to me. "Marry the man today".  What has Adelaide been trying to do for the entire show?

[curtainswoods]

Ok a few things from this: 1.) Lauren is good, but brings nothing to the role...she keeps giving this look as "Wow, this is cool". 2.) Lauren is way too still and boring 3.) Did they lower the key for her? 4.) This looks like a special of called "Singing with the Stars" and at one point someone will get voted off!

@KikimoLie She can't.
